Long Vignette Poems

How unparticular the day had particularly been,

On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,

leaving me dumbstruck,
how quickly fleeting tempus fugit; 
ofttimes imagined as time thief.

Hence following vignette: quiet as a mouse lurks the time thief...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being...

Today I lay,
a white rose,
upon your grave,
and tears,
seep onto,
the ground,
that now engulfs,

as my eyes,
glance into,
the mystery,
of the pair,
of eyes,
that met mine,

splattering onto white paper,
vanquishing the lyrics from the poet’s pen,
scribbling vignettes of joy or strife,

In homage to Mr Poe....


He dreamt a dream, 
a violent vignette 
a sorry scene, 
he could not forget

He rose from his rest
and bolted the bed,
but the visions he'd viewed
would not leave his head

He set to...

VIGNETTE FORM an example

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

The sun is ruler of our earthly realm.
O’er solar planets it maintains its reign,
each morning taking luminescent helm

But time waits for no one despite what we see,
In images made of you and me.

*** Devoted  Desire ***

Beloved!  We are circling the world — 
Blooms on a headwind, open petals

Alone upon a foggy night, 
With waxing moon a ghostly light, 
Resounded wings.
My mind contrived a murders flight, 
While lack of cawing did rewrite, 
Infernal things.
Resigned to capture budding fright; 
I drew the curtains snugly...
