Short Appeased Poems

The parched earth 
Cannot quench thirst
Heaven pours into it, ’spirit’
In the appeased soil,
The seeds sprout!...

Profound zealous souls
In wonder assuaging beauty thirst
Dip hearts in oceans
In motion but beauty is!
A soul's crave never appeased....

His teacher said he was a ‘shining wit’
Little Jimmy was SO pleased
But when he told his mum and dad…
They could not be appeased!

My soul is finally at peace
It has joined with yours
Its longings are now appeased
Drumming down its force

The chains that bind are no more
The loneliness is gone
I've found that reason to live for
It's because you and I are one...

I have seen you on the 
Winds of change;
Reigning in tightly 
the future’s course.

Life is a playground.
Your games tough,
cold and soulless.

At the crack of
Your whip, deaths’ hunger is appeased;
Earths skin is torn asunder and death is free
to dine on her naked breasts....

Mind curtsied to Soul in deference and respect.
Accidentally infuriating Imagination.
What am I supposed to do? He chastised Mind
You belong everywhere, you are the dream key, Mind told him.
You can do anything you want. 
This appeased Imagination in a fierce way,
and he finally quit pouting....

Listen to poem:

From olden days of gods and goddesses,
Most of them did not keep their promises,
When we had appeased
They mostly had teased
Today, they are just some hypothesis.

New poem posted
An instant feeding frenzy
Hunger is appeased

Tasty word morsels
Relief from the gnawing pain
Poets get their fix

Eyes searching for names
Trembling hearts wait to shoot up
Psychedelic dreams

Words course through my veins
On a never ending high
Addicted to you…..

We have seen this before.
'blood sacrifice,'
an offering of dead children,
two rapacious Gods must be appeased.
Of course America kills more babies
spills more blood,
swears loudly
that in a blind God

We Trust.
Let us fight the good fight
not here, but over there
while the light
dies in our eyes....

Churning in the shadows
Are my dreams of tomorrow
A time of peace
That is void of sorrow

Wisdom has conquered greed
Science has cured the diseased
Fighting has succumb to harmony
Through unity we appeased

Mother earth is guarded
Mankind is held in esteem
So much hope for tomorrow
But today it’s only a dream...

As my temper rises
And I become angry
I turn to the sound of music
As I become stressed 
And my heart begins to race
I turn to the sound of Music
As the Moon comes out
And my soul fills with doubt 
I turn to the sound of music
The beast within me
Will never be put to rest
But it can be appeased 
Cause music soothes the savage beast...

Evolution is an error extreme
Veiled things imagined, hopelessness in dream.
Observation's skewed interpretation:
Logic, post hoc, blind history appeased
Urges and egos in strange gyration
Tempting faith to suicide. Truth squeezed
Intermittent into darkness blunders
Over gaps and gorges, making thunders
Naked of the flash of light. Thin ice here!

The Court Historians'
official dictums
of special reports
and minor fiction from
deep in the archives
where they've been
resting with other lies
besides these, and other
generally accepted deeds
have just been released
for "people consumption" now
that the donkies have been appeased
and truth into lie
and lie into truth
have rendered history
spin-city legalese....

the crackling of the clouds
     already white and snowy-gray

the shadows of puppets
  behind satin sheets

         like lightning bugs obeisance
  to the Lord’s applause

the zigzag rags
   behind the mother-cloud

the hallelujah projection
               rolls

    and spectator’s eyes appeased —
the thundercloud euphoriant

Cast be thy fate to live in exile

Bated be your fair fluffed fleece

Face of said avenue beguiled

Ebbed a carmine masterpiece


Ebony landscapes you adorn

The eyes of thousands you have hooked

Whines sharp replicas of thorns

Question mark shaped be such nooks


Appeased the ice queen had appeared

Fabricating jagged thrills of mirth

A concept quite eerie, yet linear

'Til done apart by spineless dearth...

To Israel Kamakawiwo, IZ



Tell him the sea has receded and the stars are jumping on its bare bed.
Tell him that history was a seagull hungering our names.
Tell him, if he is silent, if he isolates himself, God appeased the volcano,
 created for us this island.
Tell him that I wait for him under the almond tree, barefoot and still tousled,
with shimmering hoops. Hawaii, Izzy surfing clouds, playing ukulele....

Weeping waters flow;
Down the brook;
Rubbing against the rocks;
In so it looks;

A leafily tree;
Winds has it waving at me;
Kissing are the cool autumn breeze;

O' did I mention;
The lavender intentions;
Radiant aroma scented appeased;

Wind shaken;
The calmness fleets goodbyes;
Calming blue-purple royal skies;

Weeping waters flow;
Down the brook;
Rubbing against the rocks;
In so it looks;...

Should I tell her?
Or should I not?
Of this deep seated secret in my heart!
Yet I wonder
Would she even care?
Does she know I exist?
Do I even have the courage?

I wonder why nature has to be like this.
I want her so much, yet I fear the response.
I guess,
Am gonna die with this secret too big.
I am going to admire
I am going to wish
I am going to dream
May be then, I will be appeased
That my love will not be in vain.
Strange,
This love is....

As the hail makes love to the streets
I query its vendetta with I
What had I done to be defamed
By such unforeseen chagrin

The sound ‘tis the climax of the horizon
Echoes that of a violinist scarred by sexual mortification
The harmony plays in quite a lovely manner
Could hook one quickly if not careful

Appeased I sit in a wooden, black chair
And saturate in fine rock refrains
A pacifying compensation if I may say
A scripted version of hell...

The Serial Killer  (Duplex)

Daily 
he waits
for night
to come
and then,
shrouded
in pitch
darkness
or pale
moonlight,
he goes
in search
of prey
striking
swiftly
without
mercy.

His needs
appeased,
the great
horned owl
puts his
conscience
to rest.
Remorse?
He does
not give
a hoot.

These are the days of ambient light
Where speech is bastardised into winking icons
Where binary money buys the next upgrade
Sunlight seen through a man made lens
Imagination imprisoned on the net
Our lives the library books of an electric race
Relationships ripped on live tv
We are the desensitized generation
The qwerty kings and queens
all the answers a finger tip away
We are humanity trapped within the world wide web 
And the internet is never appeased...

Dismal dark dreary purposed poised
Winters breeze rain icy snow blows
Doused dusting dead driven snows

Bitter colds biting drafty bleaks
Intensifying ice- kissed cheeks
Body armored flannel-fleece

So Winters animated life
Frozen senses desires light
Benign appeased nature's wife

In the Northern Hemisphere
Make sure you shiver make sure you go" blurr"
Coldest season of the year

Freaky mafia dogs roaming the streets
The ravenous wolves that stalk me
My will is appeased and tongue is seized
They are many in number and I have lost control
I have lost the fight to save my soul
How many times I feel the pain and cried
How many times I am buried alive and died
I know I am being followed by scary cats
My smiles disappeared when I became a target of freaky rats
I write poems to help you discover another breath
I want to pen the truth before my death....

o' the past, 
thorny past (beyond fog )
you are forgettable! 

for that, poor heart hides itself 
into the deep water (stability) 
to be appeased of the past 

the intolerable (thin bamboo) heart 
comes to my tattered hut
wants to remind the past 

cause- written ink although dried up 
yet, its fragrance is alive and it strikes the heart

SOLARIUM SIDEWINDERS

introverted 
hermit crabs
share cavities
appeased in their 
shielded double
sanctuaries

solariums of solitude
misplaced platitudes
humoring normalcy
with crustaceous
pet mentality

prisoners of exposé
unventilated cage
soft pink lungs
dried out sponge
obligatory needs
waterdearth
disclosure



solarium sidewinders 
discharge
leakage and seepage
exposure
losing all sheltered
composure
