Short Defile Poems

Listen to poem:

Cans lie strewn, litter
tossed away, discarded trash.
Dents - defile, deform
the perfect container form.
Wanton abuse uncalled-for.

Death is inevitable, it must come;
A child, young or old, it spares none.

A very short span of time, we are allotted,
Wherefore defile it with grudges and hatred....

The conservatives 
Like to Fly the Flag
Wrapping themselves
In the flag
As they loudly proclaim
That they are the only patriots
As they defile the flag
With their hatred...

Staring, smirking, salivating men 
You are the bane of my existence 
How dare you defile my temple with your lustful eyes
I await the day where I get my chance 
To unleash my wrath, gifted from Artemis...

Naivete
in life
brings terror
to dreams

The psyche
wide open
a victim
to scheme

The innocent
notion
belief
to defile

Asleep
in the
nursery
—where monsters run wild

To see your face

I crossed seven seas
    and
    Killed   
        dodging donkeys   

       I slit open several cobras
In the forest of fright
      Sagged at the last step 
 For the miles
           I trekked defile Kilometres....

Smothering white innocense
Soft as the fur above the paw
And we forssook our defense
To print tracks of joy in the raw
Cold freedom of your sweet pile
Until the sun differently shows
Our fairy fantasy in its hot defile
Emotion melts like sudden snows...

An expensive strap is going to cost you
Your credit card a Lion
The chance to beat who pleasure counts
A token love for sign

Where credit keeps you occupied
for loving that means more
When snaps at night mean plots for flight
that points defile for...

I do not know if been a wall 
makes me less important?
All the walls around me are cracking
Scoffers questioned my stand
But i know she will be happy to 
have me as a wall
My uncrack wall is my pride
And a treasure to whom my 
hallowness shall be defile

Deafening silence rips through the cold air
From hollowed cries of desperation
As knees bent from the bale of despair
This emptiness is ripping thy soul
Creeping darkness defile that gaping hole
Seeking and longing for coveted attention
Into the haze and desolation I stare...

Luckily I am not yours,
To fondle and defile,
My beating soul lies elsewhere,
You can adorn me with recollections,
But I will be one goddess less,
One saint more,
I will come along the sunset,
To steer you towards the heavens,
Then in your mouth I spit anesthetic saliva,
And you are no more....

people standing in a crowd
people very loud
people standing alone
watching brother and sister pigeons
defile the earth
ting on them

moving away cooing
quietly
and quickly
backwards 
being 
pigeons

mucking around
in the 
until they finally must take a stand
and eat the few 
bad pigeons 
in a flavor able pigeon stew...

Though oft times we do not see  
Every day contains a smile
Each one is a fragile gem
Sorrows grip on us revile
Even if for just a while
Welcomed by the eyes that see
Happiness it can't defile
This precious gift from you to me

To watch her with another
The hurt, the pain, the thrust 

Beauty eluding my fondle 
Gorgeousness I can only behold but always let go 

I want this but can't own it
I deserve it but selfish it sounds

What will you do to have a joy illegal?
To defile the voice of norm
For the warmth, for the knowledge 
To carefreely live against order...

My subconscious chains strain

to keep my demons tethered to fantasy,

as demonic beasts test my moral resistance,

while ripping relentlessly with teeth and claws.


Grotesque self-images,

like shadows of shadows forged in the bowels of hell,

once freed, would defile the sanctity of my soul

with carnal lust and debauchery.

The Bitter Soil, Gaza 2024

Earth, Gaia, mother of us all
wars defile her sacred gifts
we sow the dead like seeds
reap a harvest from our guns

in this shattered land
charred by hate and want
hospitals plant mass graves
no dignity in these deaths

infants wrapped side by side
flowers of their native dirt
plucked newborn buds 
where only wreaths are grown.

The Moon is fulsome and low tonight.
Perchance we shall converse in its light.
Are you near within reach,
And discerning of my speech?
My friend, back many years from here.
And gone now, though heled so dear.
Past now into that dark Defile,
Where I may not venture, at least for a while.
Pray you will recall this face in detail,
When happily we meet on a familiar trail....

The honest lips no lies do tell,
Nor independent ones deceive,
But tyrants' smiles conceal Hell,
Their words are fakeries.

The honest hands no taxes lay,
No properties defile,
But tyrants' hands take all away
While lips play out a smile.

The honest mind to life is true,
Depends on self alone;
But tyrants' have men's health in view---
To stone and stone and stone....

A leap into death bed.
The water of life 
had sucked you dry.

Tracking a subtle sound,
I was chasing you
in the jungle of untruths.

You being in the crowd,
I was locating the god’s
vision in failing lights.

Who was hiding behind 
the torn pages of
scriptures ? The words

had started bleeding.
O, my god, the man was 
going to defile a beast !

   "Thriller"




upon eerie coverlet of faint moonlight
midnight creeps to touch tombstones of cursed undead
haunting entities delight in spooking night
zombies open coffins to ravish with dread

feasting upon flesh and bone in vampy style
tasting blood from jugular...victim defile

staring motionless submissive to witch chant
enticed by love ... death charms innocence to pant....

What you’ve bothered to pick
Is a heartbreak topic:
The mind Ended Love warps
And on one’s folly  harps;
Just as heat could man burst
Still, Heartbreak Is the worst…

Men file in, bed defile,
You’re with an office file.
Joan does not claim it’s right
But expects not a fight.
You’d delayed wedding ring;
So, with Guys face The Ring…

You’d never known women!
I’ve not ruled them “vermin’’....

Lighting up the heart with a smile
Gentle thoughts that won’t defile
Right and wrong are clear variations
Of what are good or bad foundations
Should we go to the left or right?
Is it all simply black or white?
Our Scruples reveal the hidden doubts
About the regulations of our whereabouts

Excessive Horn Haikua

Deliver Down River and God Is Giver

always deliver
down what is wide river
God has been giver

do me a favor
we know now that a neighbor
carries sword in sabre

appeared a skater
ran over alligator
on a fast freighter

was some stoic style
trump on  turbulent trial
which he did defile

ate ball full of fuzz
which always would be because
my cat always does

I'm the existence
from one drop of love
on this earth

from the nothingness
I'm embodied, a visible form
in the cage of time

in the reign of time
sometimes I defile my embodiment
forgetting it's kingship

the time stabs continuously
to remind the void erroneous body
but I'm stupefied 

the time stabs continuously
but no scope to leave it
or to live without it!

WHAT MAKES GOD SMILES

WELL, WHAT MAKES HIM SMILE, IS THIS,

WHEN WE GO OUT OUR WAY; AND GO OUR LAST MILE.

AND BE GOOD FOR AWHILE; AND NOT GO WILD; OR BE DEFILE.

BUT INSTEAD, WE CONTINUE TO STAY SWEET AND MILD  LIKE A LITTLE CHILD.

AND SO, MY FRIENDS; KIN, THAT WOULD BE THE VERY THING, THAT MAKE HIM, 

(GOD) AL MIGHTY TO SMILE, SMILE, SMILE FOR AWHILE.

AND NOT GO WILD; AND ALSO, BE STRAIGHT FOUL....
