Short Concedes Poems

Thunder’s distant boom
Steel-gray shroud concedes blue hue
Crescent spectrum awes...

Stymied sand regales no tale
  All wind-whipped time erases
Partial pain of life relieved
  To find familiar places

Sand concedes no mark remains
  Rain, snow and ice extinguish
Not a trace of young refrains
  Slim hourglass of anguish...

Here is my short poem that says:
	A mad dog that barks at your back,
	Concedes a serious threat.
	He's looking and waiting an 
opportunity
	for the perfect prey
	To make his final blast
	That will deeply cut
	Into the innocent's heart.
	Beware of this old trick!...

My listless thoughts are entirely detached 
My mind unable to fully equate
These feelings completely skewed and mismatched
Emotions flee my mind then dissipate
The brain concedes to devil incarnate

Yielding to a distant watching member 
Recalling a past I can't remember....

THE POET LIVES LONG BUT OBSERVES,
ILL EQUIPPED FOR STATING GRACE-
IN GRACELESSNESS CONCEDES HER IGNORANCE.
OF ALL THAT PASSES EYES UNSEEN,
HERE THE POET LIVES FOR THESE-
THESE GRACEFUL, AWKWARD BLUNDERS MANIFEST.
SHE TAKES WITH NO THING GIVEN BACK,
EYES SET DOWN UPON A WORLD-
ONE NEVER CEASING TO AMAZE HER NOW.

When from the dark our time recedes,
          Re-writing poems from the past;
          Lift our pen till faith concedes,
          A tender lyric that holds fast.

          Put into words that all might hear,
          A sonnet that rings true;
          A rhyme that shines from love so clear;
          It could only come from you....

Air weighs heavy with an earthy smell,
Dare we hope for a real downpour,
Fair weather concedes to a stormy night
Care its only misty rain, we were hoping for more.

Dry fields plague the farmer’s crops,
My country roads are stirred up with dust,
Bye to the green grass and pretty flowers,
Lie to me weatherman, more rain is a must.

Go beyond rumour
That seems so true,
Truth does not lie
Yet dismay concedes

Be aware of fear
Cheer cannot stay
For very long here,
Indeed pain supersedes all

Here there is only change
Strange as truth sublime
Pain is not brief
Plight of surplus grief

Vain needs and wants betray
Our common humanity
There is no end
To insidious intent

IF I WERE A POET

If you consider me a poet
Then I shall write the words
That will put down roots
And push up into your soul
To flower and blossom there
Where one concedes beauty
Without dispute or challenge
As an icon for modern times
It would be so well deserved
Yet I still struggle with it all 
Recruiting rhyme and metre
With a soupcon of metaphor
To mould words into poetry
And win your heart forever...

Life on a cellular and corporeal level seems to be
A relationship of complex interdependence
Where each living unit acknowledges a central theme
And concedes that theme to be more important than itself 

This principle of functioning interdependence
Expresses the “will” of a conglomerate yet separate living organism

Should we assume this general principle stops with us
Merely because we no longer have a “safe” detached vantage point...

Just as the sun surrenders to the horizon
after shimmering out the boldness,
let alone darkness to triumph over;

Likewise, even the sunflower concedes to the sun's movement
radiating euphoria around,
symbolizing admiration and loyalty;

As such the waves converge on the shore
embodying might,
conquering yet coexisting with tranquility;

Thenceforth, let's allow agony to renounce upon us;
for happiness can be consumed,
but pain can create....

WORDS OF WISDOM



CAPTIVATING BELL ON A STEEP SLOPE WITHIN AN ISOLATED WORLD GAVE
SOLACE TO THE HERD


AMONG ANGELIC VOICES MESMERIZING CHANTS ALLEVIATE THE FEARS OF
A LOST NOMADIC SHEPERD


SILENCE UPON TRANSCENDENTAL DESCANTS AND ENIGMATIC RHYMES ON
EVERY NOTE PLAYED BEGAN SINGING


THE HEART CONCEDES AS THE ENDURING SPARKS INSIDE LOVE INTONING
WORDS OF WISDOM REVERBERATE A HEALING

a poet’s pension is his pen--
the pen that siphons words from the world
in solitary luxury

he sometimes concedes his kinship with the world--
a world in which he lives alone
groping for the perfect words, his own masterful soliloquy

the world often misunderstands his soul
yet he understands his sensitivity, his ability, his prowess--
his need for unveiling

eventually his words become 
a display of beauty, intention, truths—
truths he eloquently pens...
