Short Curtail Poems

Confining to homes 
Curfew comes 
To know a few,why?
Still curfew 
How to bring cure curfew for Corona?
Nor cure even a few 
Not cure but can curtail some
Go,stay at home!...

If I died
Would you keep my memory
Alive
Or would you slip
Into that wide abyss
I must have love
To curtail the greed
And the license
That won’t stay
In your arms
I feel free
Finally...

Colossal contradictions, curtail creativity
Twisting thoughts, timing, trajectory
Buffering, blending between boundaries
Apprehending an artistic altercation
Learning lessons, lovely light lasts

Absurdity undisputedly does ambush our quest for jollity
But so,too,do glamour and the euphoria that attend our world
Clashes with a world that spurns to surrender meaning
Dating the perverse option may curtail,yet
Every cloud has a silver lining....

When a poem is liked
It’s like a light to shine
Within my mind
Hold close the elloquences
This longing for life
This thing is alive
Struggling to show
Its nuances curtail
The tricks of mind
This must be how it feels
When dead men come to life...

Dating the perverse option may curtail unfolding,yet
Every cloud has a silver lining....

Listen to poem:

Flyover of no return
David J Walker

I remember
Approaching 40

Going 60 miles per hour
Reaching for the marker 

That might curtail the power
And avail a slower pace 

A space that might embrace 
A respite in the race

On its way to 100 and
the flyover of no return...

The mind is where creation takes place
It's a vast and open space
While writing fiction we explore different worlds
If they collide then we just curtail
This is where we dominate and spin
Our characters, we take out or put in
Fiction writing is the place to be
Writing fiction is it for me...

The new tyranny 

Smoke of anger
rises from the streets
A hunger
for equality
Demonstration, strikes
is the seen action
The authorities do nothing
wait for exhaustion
when the starving turns
fight each other
At that moment 
new laws introduced
that will
curtail the scant 
freedom people have...

Raising thoughts denounce
this effort, stills my trounce,
ne'er for the absence of restrain
I hold back, my curtail of law's profane ~

This aura of content,
behind the scene, the crowd ~
file trading space, for parody of rent,
stifling with resolve, while backing down!

The character of poverty
stills renown!...

the moon
gives movement
to the seas
the twinkling stars
could be
new life evolving
the sun
sustains all life
you
me
words, our life
exposed
for the world
to read
all in hope
that evil
they might curtail
and help goodwill
so peace will
win
be instilled
in our leaders
let us pray!...

JUDGEMENT DAY
(What if there is a judgment day as the wise of old tell us? What if? What then?)


On the awful day of
Judgment
We should not be surprised 
At all
If
Before us standing we  
Find
The most merciless judge of
All: 
Ourselves!

Accusing us for all our
Crimes
Since he knows every single
Detail,
Forgetting nothing of what we
Did,
The accusation he will never
Curtail!

On a rainy day, 
I find myself under the dark sky 
Wandered thoughts and sleepless nights 
                When I look up to the sky
                The clouds are heavy
                Buried dreams and obscured ache 
They want to blast and to free 
To curtail the heap of memories 
Hidden stresses and ceased tears
                With a flash, they screamed
                Their shedded tears kissed the earth
                Drowned wishes and an empty heart...

Silence of the heart, listens to the mind,
Silence of the mind; has lost all heart.
Both of these, will completely unwind,
Ripping to shreds, tearing the soul apart,
Some seasons, are beautiful to live.
Some reasons will show in detail.
Sounds travel and are what others give.
Sounds of silence, may even curtail,
Rage, along with destruction of love,
Silence of sounds; will never succeed.
Until the Sun, fails, in the sky above,
Then life, as we know it, will recede....

Peristalic pangs percolate
rumbling grumbling groans of,
"Feed me!  Feed me!"

Chocolate chomping 
does not curtail the hollow hollering,
"Real food!  Real food!"

A clock controls the
dashing diner of
lunch munch, breakfast break,
or dinner for a spinner
out of this humongous hunger.

A platinum plate if you please
piled provocatively
with a sprawling spread
of vital vittles ASAP.

Ring the bell
grant grace sublime
its time to eat
enough of this rhyme!!...

The light life hath stole
Left my sprit missing a whole
A preacher with a black book
Opened my blind eyes to Luke

Between my heart and my soul
A void I can’t curtail
A deep, unguarded fragility
My fading centre of gravity

So I wonder as I go
If truth my heart doth know
My mind hath rationalised fear
To give my whole a long stair

A black hole that echoes cries
An abyss - on the surface - bliss
Cradled in the palm of the sun
Rises and falls into the unknown...

We, 
      have the right
      to curtail life,
                              death
      was their call..
murder
        the young,unborn;

       All lied...
       the trickle
       became a torrent..
       but no one
       cried

but God....

We, 
      have the right
      to curtail life,
                              death
      again,they call..
murder
      the old,long-born;

       All lies...
       the trickle
       will be a torrent..
       no one
       cries..

but God...
