Short Dumbfounding Poems

Everywhere is not like home
Sorrow, sickness, fever 
Have you eaten yet. What is missing
Never heard of it like this
It's good that I have loved ones who care and ask
Everyday, have you eaten yet. How are you
Why we decided to come here out of concern
But why is it so empty
I can work. Never give up
But today seems to be disappointing
With what I have seen all around us
What is encouraging now is my loving wife....

Who are you?
today I breathe you
into my nostrils
into my blood stream
into my  body

into my being
and I do not understand

a whirlwind
roaring, ascending
breaking time and space
creating place
out of the void
and there is you
dumbfounding me

do I know you?
when there is nothing 
then there is something
and still to come
there is the matter
of exhalation

A real dumbfounding beauty
But there her fault lies:
The Fuel igniting The Haughty.

Once ready her victim cries;
The Sour she takes for The Fruity,
However careful Correction tries
And prolonged praises for The Naughty,
Even as irrecoverable time flies!

A hell of A Staggering Beauty
But her enemies are more than forty,
All praying that earthly beauty die
With answer for those who ask “why”
Die! Earthly Beauty do
On your death-bed just You!...
