When Sleep's Afoot

When sleep's afoot
  roaming the hills
Will pillows deign pursuit...

Yet when dreams linger
  waking's a beggar
knocking at your door

Muzzled

Dare I deign, or faintly feign
A focal point of interest?
Imbibe, implore- inquest for more
When you tell the world your business?
Why not try and leave a crumb
For Imagination's sake?
All the drivel leaves me numb
In Information's Wake...

You Cried

Listen to poem:
You cried at losing, as some do;
Not I. Determined to accrue
That credit to my name
I courted and called fame,
I steeled myself and stood,
Rigid -- upright -- and would
Not deign reveal what graced
My form: two faces,
                              both mask-encased.

Steward's Folly

A sommelier was known to whine
at pairings made with pork.
The shoulder was in fact divine,
so tender, lightly forked.
Yet she was deign to recommend
a cab or chardonnay.
Esteem I’d had came to an end
though, just the other day;
I saw her swilling Boone’s Farm wine,
complete with plastic cork.

Realism

Do you notice?
In every unreality,
People read minds.

Every lie is transparent,
They call every bluff,
"You're not okay," they insist.
As if you didn't know.

But if you deign to test
The real world, 
of course

They are 
Completely
Oblivious
Always

Stop reading my mind.
You make me second-guess.
Are you real?

The Great Poet

It’s not all easy being favoured as a great gifted poet
All this deigning and stooping just to let people know it

They do deign but I just do so to see them pass 
Tomorrow perhaps worse they want to kiss my ****

But that’s not the worse of it and irritating much more
Is my fresh ironed toga keeps ruddy snagging the door

Faithful In My Fashion (August 2, 1937, Lewisham Cemetery, Se London)

I dreamed I saw the grave of Ernest Dowson
Bleakly set
In some forgotten churchyard corner,
Lone and wet.

The spectral London fog descended cold on 
Sentry grass
Where seldom any visitors or pilgrims
Deign to pass.

And in my reverie I bravely scattered
Roses there, 
And felt a frail and wispy “Thank you”
Warm the air.

Roses Gone Missing

   suddenly bare branches
     sway and shiver
   shiver and sway, outstretched
     in vain 
       to December's flares 

   stunted grass shoots 
     deign not wave
   to howling winds
     their lawns daily prowl  

   icy slants of rain
      piercing bare heads
   autumn’s roses gone missing
      color them dead

Heartless Goddess

Even when I want to free myself
And turn to other ‘amants’
My heart still whispers
‘Oh, but I love her.’

And so I falter
And hurry back to you
And plead innocence
To a heartless goddess!

But now more than ever
I must turn my back on you
And conjure my selfish heart
To let go this silly fixation!

Would you deign to stop me?

The Nice Man

There is a rare and special creature
lost in the mists of time
women search so far and wide
for a nice man divine

He hides away in a secret land
and ventures out now and then
if you are able to catch one
don't let him escape to his den

He treats you well and oh so kind
he's sweet and funny too
he'd never deign to hurt you
so treat him well and be true

Miss Muffet

Miss Muffet


Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
After coming home from the pub

When up came a spider
And sat down beside her
So she smashed it to bits with a club

Now Caroline wouldn’t use
Wouldn’t deign to let loose
With a club - ‘cause she isn’t so thick

And it was not just a thump
No despatch with a bump
But sure death by a huge hockey stick!!!

From a Seed

And your smile do fully flower
Leaning down you deign me kiss
As all around my fragrance showers,
On and on this dance sustains
A life I thought would never end.
But then one windy day in fall
I find that I begin to bend
And getting lower to the earth
I see where time is going to lead
And so release into the wind
The quintessential gem...a seed.

We All

We all have our days,
Our flaws,
And our ups.

We all have our names,
Our pains,
And our gains.

We all have our prayers,
Our delays,
And our says.

But,
Everyone prays
Against the negatives of days.

Because,
Everyone litter',
That sweet orange once bitter.

Let us pray,
That our pain 
should be the link to our deign.

So that,
We can have 
The adorable taste of life.

Oneness -Spenserian Stanza

Such union tastes now like ambrosia sweet,
this oneness we share while our lives remain.
Now my love, speak anew for time is fleet,
repeat your promise, gladsome oath's refrain.
Ah Specter, deign not evil toward this twain,
but keep away Grim Reaper, shade of night.
Fortuna, may it be that we obtain
from basket, thy fruit ever lasting right:
thus hoping we remain esteemed in thy good sight.

Whispers of the Stars

In the darkest hour, Of the coldest night When the Heavens deign To open wide And e’en Angels Take startled flight From eerie sounds And silvered light The Cosmos converses In Cosmic verses and is Softly scriptured, the melodies The stanzas…the bars In the gelid Winter’s night… And would’st one lend a careful ear, Perhaps the Gods… would grant him hear …The whispers of the stars…

Gossip

Now and then,
It goes agin,
The grain within my bein',
  
How those "within",
Can judge the sin,
Of lives they think less meanin'.

Before ye deign,
To judge again,
Ye'd best make one thing certain;

Make sure ye know,
Afore the show,
It's not yerself yer hurtin'.

For all ye say,
Comes home one day,
And every word ye'll pay for.

Make sure ye know,
Afore the show,
That ye won't mind an encore.

Let Me Sleep

Let Me Sleep

Let me now sleep
rest to dream
far away on virtual field
of realities twice plain and deep
Over hills of silken warm
let my worries deign to leave
covered down and seasoned bloom
where doth flow summer dawn

Let me now rest
to dream awhile
in a world untethered free
infinity and space refreshed
to lie satisfied for a moment
struggle there to remember why
dreams secrets hide so well
subliminal vague potent

Copla Siete: This Bad Guy World

COPLA SIETE : This Bad Guy World

Watch those who say they serve God most
They’ll boast their God stands for peace
And for Him – kill !

Watch those who clearly wish to boast
Theirs is the ONLY sacred lease
Yet show ill-will

To all those who likewise proclaim
ONE GOD – not their own – with disdain
Yet kill their own

And in killing their own, they maim
Their OWN GOD who will not even deign
To help His own !

A Time to Take Stock

    ~ 2024 ... 2025 ~ 


   A time to take stock
     to delve deep
   One glance in the mirror
     does not suffice

   The old year wanes
      the new one waxes
   Time to bury axes
      time to rack your brains

   Where have I been
      Where am I going
   Am I shrinking; am I growing
      Do I deign to sin... 

   A time to take stock
      fast beats the clock
   Pave the way this day 
     ~ should you like a say

Vipul a Loving Brother

Among all cousins of mine in a lane
There is he very profound, and plain.
Strong though shows none in skein;
Always ready for hospitability in rain
Without thinking for self even if slain.
Had a son and a daughter – both reign
His kingdom and never wished to deign.
My Bhabhi is a great soul – decent again;
Never spoke a bad word – is a gem in pane.
All the family tries to help others in arraign.
Thanks to god for such sweet family to attain.

At a Country Club

I took a walk on Yorkshire green
And met a snobbish English lord
He asked what right I had to been
In gentlemanly tones so bored
I smiled at unctuous nose so  high
And said I had na' meant t' pry
But I'd been simply walking by
And stopped to sip a little rye
But if I'd hurt his simple pride
To please consider suicide
He left in such a royal huff
It must a been just quite enough
T'see a man wi' soul sa free
He'd deign t' e'en speak wi' thee

The Great Poet

It’s not all easy being favoured as a great gifted poet
All this deigning and stooping just to let people know it

They do deign but I just do so to see them pass 
Tomorrow perhaps worse they want to kiss my ass

But that’s not the worse of it and irritating much more
Is my fresh ironed toga keeps ruddy snagging the door

The Great Poet is most embarrassed using the word for a donkey for a fleshy nice shaped bottom for the sake of a silly rhyme !

Stephanus Marcus 27

Stephanus Macus Book 1
Canto 6
Verse 1
Then Katharine spent time with James in Throme,
to ride his horses, stroll the garden rows,
to view, appreciate large stately home.
Included seen with James, King Richard foes,
but Katharine now paid no mind to those
who schemed to see that James their monarch reign.
Not caring so, for she had mind on clothes,
and diamonds bright to grace her face and gain
crowd's approbation during stay, if James should deign.

Ode To Shadows

ode to shadows as i peer out the glassed portières penumbral visitations mock me; dare they deign to scare this parched crypt of adrenaline and cortisol, usurped by unquiet scourges over lifetimes' rebirth? steps shifting in the dark, familiar and beloved; the shushing and stirring, commit to draw me near; umbral amici and i provide a panoply o'bosky trappings f'thee a joinin' we, or off to obscure pastures to wee thee pants for eternity!

When Nature Decides

When nature decides to precipitate As surely as the earth revolves around the earth, it does not deign to hesitate, Consider it done. A truth I’ve sought and diligently found Weather patterns arrive both soon and late Nature’s ways are both consistent and sound. If climate changes, still she will not wait to control what moisture covers the ground Freezing it persuades us to concentrate, Consider it done.
