Short Ensured Poems

The cover pulled back, 
exposure full bore

Protection gone
—final judgment ensured

A fellow who hailed from Australia
Had quite oddly shaped genitalia
At each sexual encounter
Before he could mount her
Her laughter ensured total failure...

My peripatetic parrot went to sea
  where he met a perspicacious chickadee

He courted her a bit too parsimoniously
  For this peccadillo, she ensured he couldn't pee...

Nacho cheese can never be yours
So leave it alone though you'll surely be lured
The odour will grab
That's really sad
But good old cheddar instead is ensured...

So simply
Subtle
On my mind
Envigured ensured
Begotten until
Rain on the edge
Of these clouds still
Will not impede this
Fortunate feeling
Of free feeling fine...

She understood herself relatively well

And shared her ideas with others rarely

Coveted her privacy, retained her shell.

A smart choice, that ensured she was treated fairly....

Not numerous in size
But true friends devoted to our daily chats ensured...

chaos ensured
no turning back now
nefarious plans sing out for my demise
wish I could turn back now
destruction everywhere
no point wishing for the past
for that's not how time works
but you know what, I think I might just survive...

When emerging out of the dark, 
Inter-net ensured all the little  fishes
The same unwillingness we share 

To compare, poems fished  the fairy
As  it is searching for a rhythm 
Dancing by the bright flare 
Of the hearts capturing each other...

Faded hopes hasten, like shadows
Over the spirit who surely knows
Forever is ensured by love’s Son,
One who will someday say ‘well done’
To those who follow Him through life,
Lost no more because He ends all strife!

Creating her artwork from silky fine thread
She carefully wove it and knew where to tread
The pattern she worked on was cleverly laid
Displaying her craft by those who had stayed
The fruits of her labour were well worth the time
For her talent in webs ensured she would dine...

This afternoon, my tongue
Dripped pink ice cream.
Glass-dimpled dish ensured I would,
With baleful strawberries
                                    looking on.

I'll have them soon -

But first... enticement,
For pink must be the best of all ice cream.

Rebecca a 1940 psychological thriller film,
Except the Rebecca is no superstar;
A lady she is there’s no doubt about it,
Ensured they told me, she is from a fantasy world.
Cause I don’t know anyone with that name except the Bible;
Can I maybe meet a Rebecca that will make me happy?
After all, Rebecca is only another name which makes it sweet....

As a child I hovered near the oven
as turkey aroma spread through our home.
Mom knew by a craving I was driven,
and from this spot her youngest would not roam.

Mom giggled heartily; she knew the drill.
Liver was nearly done, brother still in bed.
A battle brewed with hunger pangs to kill,
so Mom ensured the liver I was fed.

Is all this Allusion
Simply an Illusion
Confusion becomes Arcane
Machination simulation
Overplayed Arcade
Compiled of piles
Underlayed charades 
All awhile a smile
From delayed Cliches
Versatile Beguile
Endures soft Laughter
Ensured another Chapter
The Lure is Pure
Unsure
Of what comes After
Life of Demure
Better than Life of Immure
Intertwining for the Finding
Of the Ultimate Cure...

Follow love’s scent, in close embrace,
celebrating upward ascent,
ensured on granting joy consent,
renouncing life’s mundane rat race
and thus with no earth goals to chase,
fears exhumed, our will to God bent,
follow love’s scent.

Feel the outpourings of God’s grace,
ensuring that we be present
in the here and now, heart content,
gentling thought, slowing down life’s pace.
Follow love’s scent....

I thank God for my parents
There are the reason I am here
Everything I have become is because they held me dear
Their love for me could never be compared
As I was never made scared
How I knew they cared
As they always shared
Father is the head
Mother always said, you should learn to read
So you would not be mislead
Father always ensured we were educated and fed
Mother was the one who used her head....

Deliver me from my existence , that only a lonely heart May know . Free me from this void . Let me know splendor , warmth of your oasis . Let me bathe in its riches , reach the treasurers that lay deep . This heavenly place in your arms where safety is ensured , In your touch all things fade but our love remains . In this deep love time itself is transcend , I  see you like the first time I laid eyes on you . Forever in love ....

Censorship is the instrument 
Of the people intent
Who want concealment 
From themselves 
And from others
Fear is only to embrace
Their feebleness to face 
What is certified in place 

Some spot, in their adolescence
They were ensured indifference
Against total real factors 
Of our mankind freedom 
They were potentially educated 
To look one way abbreviated
When other possibilities 
Were readily available judiciously...

Seated out, looking at the stars
The clear blue sky;
a carpet sprinkled with diamond pellets...
a heavenly sparkle

The cool breeze, a party on my face
Cooling down the furnace
River Red flowing along it’s long channels
Ensured fair distribution

A Deja Vu, that was the scenario
Slightly different
Last time it was cold then warm
Now it’s just cold

Time is unidirectional;
irreversible 
When gone can’t be recovered
If I could I would...

Perhaps it's time to share our rhymes 
     with neighbors, family and friends.
Our tales of dogs and enchanted frogs
     and other odds and ends.

We'll speak in rhymes of fun-filled times 
     with spirits free as the wind.
Where painted clowns ensured no frowns 
     and rainbows never end.

It seems the rhymes soothe our minds 
     as words like rivers flow.
Our thoughts sail high in cloudless skies 
     over mountains white with snow....

Listen to poem:

The end will come very soon
steal the beloved left behind
after fools have expired
sealing doom in aftermath

a fate none seek is ensured
by the lack of a pressing cure
when medicine is put aside
by the infirm who will die

before the worse comes to pass
leaving nothing then to last
sweeping all from the earth
reduced to beasts as a curse

still the fools have their day
staking comfort in the blink
living large in twilight years
before a hell descends to earth....

In my silent soul I distillate in this lonely night , in this night as sun light sets on high the night remains . Light can't worm my souls cold night . The night brings fright as fear delights in this never ending night , in it's might , otter my souls might . Might is limited , right is forever . Light is might , dark is weak . Hope is unsure , faith is ensured . Right is men's might , light is men's spear that Peirce's the night . Faith is men's sight . In my night dawns the light ....
