Short Clamour Poems

Words clamour within
A maelstrom of verbal might
Fighting those without...

Dreaming sleep leaves flesh,
fathoming our rituals.
There we clamour clear....

Peace that surpasseth all understanding ~
Ours when ends clamour of heart demanding

Harsh clamor gives way to bright ethereal sounds
Night's gothic shadows shift to warm golden bliss
A sense of a pending sweet tryst abounds
As love clings to love in this nocturnal kiss...

A banana a day keeps the orangutans at bay
They clamour around wanting to share my prey
They don't eat fish
In the jungle they're amiss
Bananas are it even while love games they play...

After all these many years, I've still got much hair
Must thank Mom and Dad for bequeathing my share
Of gorgeous white locks
It totally rocks
Ladies clamour to check out my other wares...

that snake by half dipped clouds
where cold holds its stance
to feel winds tasting treats
In blue black hues
oil slick caught swirls
those ashen veins
that hide between
her slipping glance
and dainty stars
clamour for her might...

Unmissed by these who, garden-bound
Come to honour Spring
What's attuned to, solemnizing
Coronation's hour
Any queen's holy place, throughout
Hovers musically.
Though Flora's, this. Whose bird and bee
Mixed choir's sweet clamour....

a sickle moon hangs in an ice blue sky
my breath hangs in steam clouds
quiet save for the faint clamour
of the freedom truckers convoy
on the not too distant highway
this too shall pass but I'm glad
we've abolished capital punishment...

Hysteria,
outcry,
shrieks,
and shouts,
clamour,
rush,
and pell mell,
of crowds,
tears,
bloods,
and,
as they all fled,
it was simple,
that they had changed,
the venue,
for free distribution,
of the movie tickets,
in which their favorite hero held the wicket....

Yes, I heard that
The crickets stridulating
Just when day was darkening
The frogs all flat
And bass drums in need of tightening
Late owl asking
Who was listening
The quarrels of the dogs
The night's harmony rending
The guns random futility
A sleepless clamour
Of cold hostility...

Hanging bridge . . .
the pot water wobbling
on her hip

Autumn sky . . .
patches of twilight
in the falling leaf

In the aquarium
stillness of the goldfish . . .
autumn dusk

Kite sky . . .
the clamour of children
fading with it

Uphill walking . . .
she takes me into
winter clouds...

What is this life, if, full of noise
the clamour of the world destroys
that still, small voice of calm within
whose fainting trace grows ever thin?

A life without a chance to pause,
ears stifled by this world's applause,
may fail to hear that whispered voice
which leads the spirit to rejoice.

Tomorrow they tell tales
Bring back bright boyhood
Dumped deeply in dales
Forest fled for fickle food

Could you clamour clean
Till tomorrow throw them
Last lingering lines lean
We wont wait to weft them

Around ancient anxieties
Ego esconced, embattling
Dull days dead drunk deities
Some senses seared still screaming....

“Right now, right now,” 
people clamour
“Look at me, pay attention to me,” 
they cry

“To live is to suffer” 
they say
“To be attached is to suffer” 
they declare. 

“Please, please,” 
I say.
“Help me, I’m drowning,” 
I scream.
“I have to feel loved.” 
“I have to desire.” 
“I have to be human,” 
I shout as they all try to drown me out....

Listen to the beat of life, hear its thunder,
yet underneath lurks a murmuring whisper.
Some days almost unheard, others louder
always there it taunts, teasing like a lover.

Deep within you know  who makes this whisper,
it is life itself ticking away as you falter.
Yes now it shows its face as it comes closer,
our old friend death claims us with loud clamour....

An unknowing howl of joy is in air
That I can breathe but can’t hear

Reaching every part, through blood it crawls
Like an art creeping on the wall

As feeble as a bawl in vacuum
It doesn’t sink in clamour of thirty in a room

Relishes my heart with its golden kiss
Teeming its exotic wine of bliss

O ‘everything spoken, spilling no word out
Sounds of silence blare aloud....

Are you perturbed by memories
of things that went awry?
Regret, and mere ephemeries -
should we not put them by?

I’m often plagued by mammaries
(think Mansfield, think Monroe):
the author’s quick to clamour he’s
not odd at all: oh, no!

We mustn’t turn to plagiarism –
no Caulfield, then: no Catcher.
But could there have been Majorism
if there had been no Thatcher?

Come on!!!

Every sacrifice has a price
Every sacrifice comes with a prize
You lose to win
You win to lose

Hey Sky!!!
You clamour for the stars ,
Yet hold on to the sun?
Come on!!! Pay the price

Ever sacrifice has a price
Every sacrifice comes with a prize
You give to receive
You receive to give

Hey Hand!!!!
You await gold
Yet hold on to your silvery fist?
Come on!! Pay the price...

Arzhang, the mirror of sublime wonder 
Not the manmade clamour of a corpus 
But beauty to make all split asunder 
Beauty: Purposiveness without purpose 
To prove to all trapped life, including us  
To ascend past the black clouds of reason 
To the Pleroma, with its sublime sun 
The source of every beauty in the all 
Arzhang, the art of Mani and the Son 
Sensuous semblance unveiled, heaven’s call

Deanna's waiting
With all the emotions of a young women cascading
Now the bend in the creek
Makes her knees weak
And her thoughts of this man are
Filling a heart set to clamour
You bet her sighs matter

When we met in our eyes
It was love at first sight
So don't let this moment end
Or it's my heart that'll rend
I didn't know a dance
Would kindle romance
And Deanna would have to wait for her chance...

The world is so crammed of You-s
Frieks that clamour to be on news
Then the lone me
Whose poetry faulters on spelling B.

The world is in replete of us
Wilting flowers in a dry vas
Some shrivel and wither first
Some pulled to entice lovers thirst.

The world is so full of them
Characters of a reality game-
Where life is the main show
And death is the climax goal.
Joy a mere illusion-
And reality an intrusion....

tongue dance
the fancy lick
of sin
my need reaches
out from within
chokes on skin
lies between
broken skies
the capacity to
care denies the
menacing glare
of a past
cast aside
incentive compels
the tide further
washing away 
disaster
i clamour 
to you in a sudden
burst of motion
& stammer
overcome by emotion-
gracious for my defeat
breathless with relief
we dance
to the beat of 
a heart-
released....

While climbing mountains
I breathe deeply
an eternity of sky

Fastly beats the uneven
hammer of my heart
under multi-layered
coats of pain

My fingers clamour
for a more solid grip
as I slip from 
the safety of my line
into the grey of your eyes

Arms flailing
the vertigo swallows me
as I fall hopelessly
into your soul

I cringe
waiting for the impact
of jagged rocks and 
the inevitable crush of my bones....
