Short Candour Poems

I faked my smile,
It was left unheeded.
When I cried for real,
It was marked fake shred.
They said he was lost,
They said he was hurt.
Only I knew the candour,
He was a forger....

No one image, as quick
Has so enthused
This smiley facial light
To be diffused.

Candour unto sweet candour.
Trust's most harmless.
Soul, how it speaks to you
In like-pureness?...

tedium

       the passive,
subsumes &

waylays

suppresses

longings
  & desires
can
   become
       aspirations,
personal
  rivulets
to
finesse
the
   intimate
in
  gentility:
envisaged
   with
      candour
upon 
    the
      landcape
of
   revelations..

I want to be wrapped in nature's hue,
Lost in its splendour,
Embraced by its candour,
I'm feeling blue,
I'm being misconstrued,
My world is latent to them,
They can't come into my realm,
I'm ascending the pinnacle,
I'm chauffeured to the miracle.
I'll smash through every obstacle.

Time for timely metaphors
Take things easy with candour


Space for spicy endeavours
Live love's lively metaphor


Be the blessing that now frees
Pleasant loving ecstasy


Flood the zesty melody
Nice and breezy harmony


Do your own thing happily
Let cheer now swing sensuously

Poetry soup
Offering gifts of 
Eloquence and rhetoric 
This emancipation of candour 
Revitalized in common goals when 
Yielding seeds of open-mindfulness

Specifications spontaneously unshackled 
Oppression outlawed; this is indeed the 
Unreservedly unremittingly 
Punchbowl of purposefulness and literature.

The lighthouse blinks with candour
Invites the close of the day
The merging with the shore of creation
The night at the end of the bay
The darkening pools in the moonlight
The caverns that call below
The waves that seem all-knowing
The phosphorescent glow
Down beneath the ocean
A chasm awaits me now
The answer to the question
Where will my spirit go?...

It's better that you bite your lip,
    Than to speak with words that slander.
    They could defame someones good name,
    So, choose all your words with candour.

    Where loose tongues quickly let words slip,
    Let time itself give you more scouth.
    Such prudence will not go amiss,
    For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

    Scouth.  Opportunity.

The mind cannot grasp its beauty's
even though it count the colour's
just like rainbows _ pretty's
the heart accepts its glamour's


your heart accepts its glamour's
till the sky falls from the heavens
a conundrum so candour
with tears from the eyes of a raven


adding radiance to life's breath
saying goodbye to hurt and lust
love that is stronger than death
calls us back _ when we're lost....

Naked Truth

N~ascent truth resides at the heart of wisdom thus

A~story conjects still naked waits for refutation

T~he emperor’s clothes devoid of the latest chique  

I~ntimately risqué when average normality beckons

V~ie for veracity rescued from the scrap heaps of time

I~n candour modesty disentangles sexy sound bites

T~o be naked or not for whom where how and when

Y-aup those who lie in winning words instead of reason

Let my weakness swim in brook of strength,
As i seek death in the pool of lust.
To turn away my eyes from illegit cast,
And plunge them to path of awarding conduct.
To the swaggering whisper of lust,
I receive at every rhythm of my heart beat.
I stand firm to un-sheath my sword,
To clamp this re-echoing and recurring bait.
I propitiate You thee to armour me,
With guards of incorruptible candour,
That fall not to intrigues of my sisters,
From whom i met falls without counts...

As I wander in many spheres,
Feel being lost can make me see;
Feel new wonder in strange fears,
Feel surge of cause that sets me free.


As I ponder so many things,
Feel inner swirl of hopes and dreams;
Feel strange candour that ever flings,
Feel how mind twirls in hurling streams.


As I mellow with thoughts that sum,
Feel a deep need for precious flow;
Feel deep hollow as mood swings come,
Feel how joy feeds a poignant show.

& the drummers are out
yes! out with their naked feet
aging feet full of shiny beads
with arms bangled to the hearts
of the ancient drums
their dexterous fingers dance
along, beating the drums with candour 
it is like the die is cast
& the maidens are out at last
their soft feet stretching the throats
out of our ready drummers
their soft voices stretching the hearts
out of my ready hunters
& then young applause jumps to the sky
ah, who saw the maidens a-gone
with my hunters & their drummers?...

Hard edged (unreality) you face away from my immediacy (candour eschewing) inimically you parody, offering as nice the complexity of ''vice''exploiting even nature 

(as voyeur and narrator) your intention anethema to the nations, 
as you   coerce ''your creation'' encouraging over consumption, 

with a hard nosed gumption, yet my God who is greater 
is no longer willing to be a waiter!sickle in hand he is walking his land, 


with the sun as his shadow is this (One)
to be Hallowed..!...
