Short Enjoined Poems

Life unberable is created..
Proffered Then death by needle
Great effort Enjoined to sanitize
Waste of human rescources
Before our western walls !...

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!...

A boy and a girl in love, 
hugging beneath starlit trees, 
like spirits enjoined by God, 
race to forever.

Shadows moving like the wind
decorate the ground with shapes
dancing beneath the moonlight
silhouettes of trees.

Branches twisted together 
awakening the sunlight
sparkling like young lovers
embracing their lives.

Enjoined forever and never to part
I duly heed your warning dear heart
Solitude becomes me although somewhat subdued
Open to avenues unthought of and so new
I walk around in splendour totally engrossed
So wanton so wilfull so wicked so wildly lost
I take each step in this life so exciting
I look at each situation so inviting
Right or wrong my conscience voices
Yet painfully aware I am of my choices...

Lost and found; together how?
God and sinner enjoined now
Searched for love in the wrong places
Always attracted to the wrong faces

Solitude allows for reflection, deep
The aim: to get a good night’s sleep
The physical man stoops in shame
His spiritual side seeks no fame

His emotional envelope, confounds	
Soul and spirit on battlegrounds
Personal discovery awaited ahead
Prepare to be surprised and scared...

You invited me in
just to laugh amongst the array
of your erstwhile friends
you played the host cinderella
saying you were lost
in the dorm of domesticity

You enjoined me in
just to foreleign
at our voices
studying our accents
is east the new norm ?

You blew out the candles
and counted to ten
making snide remarks
saying what should be done, let it be done
picking up on the gloom
made me a stranger in the room...

I had to pass these words on to you. The following sentence as a radical, joyful practice that extends in three directions, to others, To our opponents, and to our selves. If we can be enjoined, To when we see a stranger, Or someone different than us, we can think and say, you are a part of me, that I do not yet know. This simple sentence if applied in practice, can transform a relationship, a community, a culture, even the nation....

Mind frontier.. Attacks and of ferocity.'
Turf less struggles are enjoined
People - a target.. Lableless living?
I'm looking.. But labels abound.'
Virtual reality, (PC) insanity. 
Fallaciousness insatiousness
Also to wit..  Is ungraciousness..
Part of my inheritance there?
There are glances from the lance of 
Medium-ocrity
And 'no humour' erupting!
It spews 'forth' everywhere 
'No winners then? what a stumer.'

The words once they’re spoken,
  notes and palettes enhanced

Not judged in reference,
   kindred spirits they dance

While music enlivens
  what phrases will say

A painting embodies
  what verses convey

And the only conflict
  is in the critic’s eye

Who sees not the harmony,
   but comparisons lie

As all art travels skyward,
  enjoined hand in hand
	
To the source of its power
   —together to stand

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

Sunrise, sunset,
Quickly goes the day
These words hold sway,
A song of the distant day.
Coming to the closing years,
Of life that started far away.
Remembering the storms of life,
That brought some times of strife.
Yet quickly goes the day,
that soothed the storms away.
Thinking of that tinkling brook,
Remembering your winsome look.
Oh sun rise again on halcyon days,
When lovers entwined in their tryst,
Stay forever enjoined by loves first kiss.
