In the depths of grief,
The spirit faints
From the swelter of depression....

silently they stand 
ancient giants with high peaks
peace and beauty calls

Old year faints away

                       New, dawns on the horizon,

                                Destiny dances!*

I fall as shadows steep, and very heavy
the outer world of waning stars do sparkle.
My lids grab hold of death though I am breathing.
The darkness still - my fullness faints, releases
a distant sprite - it holds me fast to bedding…...

The New Orleans Saints known as ain'ts,  
Were the City's pride causing faints,  
The devil stepped in,   
Then hell froze again, 
And it ain't the faints causing Saints!

Impossible

Every time I say the 
word ‘impossible’ the 
kitchen kettle faints. But don’t worry, the words 
‘total formed from 
separate units, ‘gathered or 
combined into a whole, and 
‘to amount to a 
specific number’ brings her 
right back fast to 
consciousness.

Today I am a dinosaur,
Hear me roar!
Kitty cat runs,
Doggie barks,
Daddy faints,
Mommy laughs...

Today I am a dinosaur,
Yesterday I was a pirate,
Tomorrow a fireman,
Daddy, get up,
Off the floor...
Another roar!

UNIVERSAL RAIN STORMS

Show cased champion
Positioned on the fold
the moon and stars dancing
A trillion million years old
Younger streaming skies
Faints universe ribbons tied
While glaziers and winds
Billow by it means blacken hues 
Universal storms rains on you

In the silence of night,
They roam around in full flight.
Whispers of memories,
Dancing in dream ceremonies.

Slipping away from my grasp,
Like sand grains in hourglass.
They fade like moon at night,
Leaving behind a trace of Silverlight.

I Chase them through the long corridors,
But they are evanescent, leaving the doors.
I try to grab them, a very faint smell,
And those faints landed on this page.

Amidst lone stars i write your name

Below the tide which stole your breath I seal my promise

Close to you soon come to be in unknown place and empty hour

Destiny betrayed our dreams,our hope and thoughts ,but not forever

To those I love I bid farewell,last heartbeat faints so this soul lives in my beloved




Not for the contest ,but thanks Alfred Vassallo for the inspiration
 through your new contest-abc poem about love...

She dreams of mansions; apartments he rents.
She’d love a Corvette; he drives a Chevette.
She stays in  hotels while he sleeps in tents.
She’s been to Europe; he’s never gone yet.

He works as butcher; she faints seeing blood.
He goes for beer, while she adores champagne.
He’s earth; she’s water. You’d think they’d make mud.
But they make passion again and again!

Man, when entirely engulfed
By the complexities of life,
Finds himself dreadfully jammed
By pressures massive, and faints.
When solutions of any kind
Inept to solve issues intricate,
And pain mounts to masses,
One slowly spins into a saint.
When courses of acumen initiates
Soothing echoes within, the saintly
Soul dives deep into blessed trance,
Blissful oblivion and absolute ease.
True, Pressure makes one faint,
But, wisdom turns him saint....

I wonder why his is always open 
when I smell something rotten
Our kittens under his bed faints
I wonder why he closes his dome while at home
and opens it while away

Is his intentions to punish me and the kittens?
And when I am away
I pity the poor pets and neighbours

I wonder why his shoes are always clean
is the smell in my mind?
Or it’s his socks under the shoes
and why does he mock me o f my dreadlocks?
Tomorrow I am hiding all his shoes 
Hopping to see his socks...

When shall it rain
When shall it,like drops of silver
Take the deep blue to its fullest brim
And turn river to a flood of bronze beauty

When shall it rain
To bring back the  musical of the windy  leaves
Into its  adornable vibrant greenery
All in beauty contest of colours engaging

When shall it rain
The earth thirst for natures gift
The barns hunger for the bounteous harvest
While the silo drain
My soul longs,yes,even faints for the comforting breeze
That comes when it rain...
