Short Augur Poems

Apart in one body
Confused and defiled
Without the primal glory
Of infants purified

In bits and pieces
My whole life flies
An unsolved puzzle
An augur sigh

Would you help me?
Or pauperize
This poverty
Don’t close your eyes

Speak with your hands
Not with your tongues
Or stay still; blank
Savour my hurt....

Angel ascended from the ground,
To anger the humans of the world,
Flying around leaving aggers of dreadful sounds,
Using his auger to dig out dreamworlds,
Ancient augurs of Rome predicted his arrival,
But he only grew huger and so ended everyone's survival. 


Angel - anger - agger - auger - augur - huger...

Now at this hour 
on this day and 
time of year 

cracks of light 
leaves of green 
buds and birds

possibly everyone 
and everything 
augur spring 

I look out upon it 
open my mouth 
move my tongue 

nothing comes out 
no lyric no music 
no song can be sung 

save a lament 
the eye all I 
my imprisonment

They said I'm a chip off the old block, but I'd never budge an inch
For it is of nature to bear the semblance of the one from whom you proceed
For it is blood to blood, nothing escaping
 For that's nature's will
All we can do is to chop off the externals that does not augur well with the times we are
And that's if that semblance is an Ogre to modernity

I know languages count by silent lexicons

I know oceans measure by waving hands

I know serpents poison by miseries

I know clouds mould by whispers

I know rivers clutter by sediments

I know oaks augur by heights

I know blood oils by fossils

I know epics endure by echoes

I know ashes wither by winds

I know castles coil by curls

I know hells hasten hubris

I know I know, my ignorance by ignorance...

Willows whisper gratitude, 
drooping branches sway, 
they augur summers of serenity 
and winters of decay.

Images of grace, gently shivering 
in rains of sweet intent, 
they burgeon like a testament 
fulfilled and immanent.

Softly ornamenting 
with their sprawls of elegance, 
they pose like seasoned lovers 
who have earned their permanence.

Sprightly dancing limbs of fancy, 
mighty yet demure, 
they signify endurance 
for those untested and unsure....

Harken! blasts of thunder 
pressurised magma sears 
Pyroclastic hearts collapse
a spanner jams the gears

Distended fiery fissures 
augur unquantified fears
Cataclysms bring rupture 
down path’s not very clear

Aneurysms bursting veins 
popped drums burning ears
Brain function touch and go
haemorrhage out red tears

Earth ripping itself asunder 
black raw ground appears 
Man plugs his inner wounds 
holding on to love so dear

Glad to be here next to morning 
where the sun shines like a sign 
Augur moments made for singing 
old refrains of songs of time 
Belting out she aims to rhyme 

It's an honor to be part of 
earth's remembrances and joy 
Harbingers of love thereof 
she His messenger His envoy 
Singing out like Helen of Troy 

Beneath a sky of ancient blue 
one daughter filled with awe 
Revering flowers filled with dew 
and blessed crows that caw 
Voicing out with gusto, chaw...
