Short Assiduously Poems

the gleaming of a sailor’s shoes —
                  blackened and assiduously buffed

Grassy ponds heave
under the tread
of moss piglets.
Kraken of microscopic
significance,
fill the forms of waterbears.
Tardigrade leviathans
plod a sodden sod,
toil assiduously
in the marshy haze
until Bur-marigold
grow out
of their dead giant heads....

Open each chamber, assiduously
  Load each bullet, meticulously
    Center targets in sight, fastidiously
      Pull the trigger, punctiliously
        Mow down innocents, detachedly
          Grin in triumph, hideously
             Undermine freedom, inevitably...

Mauve tigers roam
Assiduously down the riverbed.
Roland, my soul’s wanderer,
Is getting the itch again.
Jalousies creak from frames high on the watch towers. Even
Ulysses begged for mercy in the Un-
Abridged text. Though
No one has to know about my tiger.
Are you inclined to pet?...

Like eagles,
	we soar—gliding
	through the sky of life.
	Through social turbulence
	challenging our rise, 
	we continue to ascend;

	in the traveled winds of time.
	In our going
	we leave
	three little birds:
	pecking assiduously
	at the doorstep of reality....

As you paint your songs with colours divine
And words you so assiduously mined 
You leave me standing breathlessly behind
Your visceral emotion hypnotically opined.

Mesmerising destructive bewitching my soul 
Wreckingly angelic your voice takes its toll
And leaves me in wonder at feelings you extoll 
And tears into pieces the form that once was whole 

Thank you...

We've begun to live, spare apart vicariously.
To actively probe and grasp aggressively.  
Existentialism and ethics are linked inextricably. 
Individual liberty is a wonderful property. 
Nonetheless, it is frequently not taken seriously.
We may convey our concerns and difficulty. 
We all fathom the same solution to life's mystery 
Regardless of our specification, assiduously.
