Short Fleets Poems

As life fleets us by,
We can only reminisce:
About lost chances....

Tuesday fleets, the haze
settles on weary eyes. Gone.
Why so quick Tuesday?...

Motionless as time fleets, 
finding a purpose to grow, 
sewn my heart tight,

Listen to poem:

mozzie squadron fleets
roaring overhead in droves
dive to ear in waves
scream whining hisses so loud
that my swipes beats my brains out...

Eyes meet, hearts greet, sweet time with her fleets, our parting words are tears replete.

Roots,roots and roots of trees,
Fleets of roots like feet of trees,
If all the roots become trees,
Where is route to live free?
If all the roots become trees,
The Seas to come water free!...

Hirosimizing,
Nagasaki impacts,
Atomic bombing pejors.

Scary scabs began,
Debris of recoil doomsday,
Fetus fleets on their way out.

Mushroom cloud embeds,
Tympanic torn by air blast,
This atrocity noted....

The bond of hearts in fervor
Arranges love to continue the silver
Fleets of night, the time is right

We have wandered the trenches of life
Garnering distant prose to capture headlines
Flowers flown by the seagulls of change

Movements emerge suddenly
Their thrust an unknown settling...

Grave is where you lie
Remembering who you are
Attributes you instilled in me, guided fleets 
North Star

Dedicated soldier 
Fought in World War II
Agonizing pain from cancer 
Tried to hold on to you

Home back to God you went
Eternally peaceful as can be
Respectfully loving all you were for me...

THE  GRAND  OLD  DUKE  OF  YORK


The grand old Duke of York’s fleets
Had ten thousand men
Who  all had problems with public toilet seats
Again and again and again.

When they were up,  they were up; 
And when they were down, they were down;
And when they were only halfway up 
You knew the Duke had left town....

With her garment glittering as gold
Skyscrapers scrubbing and scrapping the sky
Fleets of steels moving into her spine
In her womb, is the abode for the affluence
Echoes of stubborn bar beach
Hallowing the expatriates
Across my nose are the moving ship
In my eyes are bustling buses
there i screamed,
Victoria, Victoria an island in Lagos...

On drowsy hamlets mobile hordes descend,
From tight-lipped forests rises a babel. 
Wanderlust is to distant wonders sent,
As fleets of long-haul birds skyward rumble.
Where massed footprints to virgin lands extend,
And sights are packaged for all to sample,
Coy beauties in nature’s bosom held dear
From between heaven and earth disappear....

Woman Holding Seed as the MAN FLEEDS- A Haiku

magical spring love
a pregnant, dazed woman looks
betrayed by the man
~
whom impregnated 
her, dazed hurt and confused so
still says child not his

~
9 months wintertime
in December birth woman 
cries this baby’s yours

First bursts of brightness
Is not at all politeness

Trying to catch more z's
The light buzzes like bees

The louder the brightness beats
The quieter the nap fleets

Forced to make a move
My body will surely disapprove

But up, up, and away I must go
What the day brings whose to know

Journeying towards the early day I face
Morning blues cease with each new pace...

TOMORROW REARS YESTERDAY

When life challenges sway us aback
With horizons of tomorrow seem plague 
We seek answers that never come
While hope fleets us inwardly
And we grief motherly
Forgetting life’s worth definitions 
I open an album of memories instead 
To reprint the direction of the next step
Because challenges are the charcoals
That furnace my will of living.

A con artist scurries

In white shadows

Fickle grooves she casts

In sequences



Imprinted by vainglory

Swift she fleets

Veiled with scars that

Were sequin rich


She spoke of ideologies

Subdued by violet myths

Exuding colorful flavors

Of classic deception



Her tattoos spelled

the wistful vowels of sin

Vexed by the onslaught

Of egregious inceptions...

In my hometown, there lies a street,
A buzzing, busy city street,
Where cars speed forward in roaring fleets
Toward places to be and people to meet.

And on this street lies a bouquet,
A busty, bountiful bouquet. 
Next to the cracking curb, it lays
And braves the the traffic of midday.

And the bouquet has leaves of red,
A lustful, lively, bloody red.
It's sad such life will soon be dead,
Crushed by our killer tire treads....

Vendors ready,
About an hour til start,
Year plus of prep,
It's no walk in the park

Creative drive in full speed,
Every situation plants a seed,
Networking channel in high demand,
Without it small guys fall in quick sand

Alive with the childhood glow
Proud of their fleets, it's shows,
Displays plotted to attract consumers
One showcase highlights Honeymooners,

The goal is to break even,
No instructions, just play the game Steven.....

Weeping waters flow;
Down the brook;
Rubbing against the rocks;
In so it looks;

A leafily tree;
Winds has it waving at me;
Kissing are the cool autumn breeze;

O' did I mention;
The lavender intentions;
Radiant aroma scented appeased;

Wind shaken;
The calmness fleets goodbyes;
Calming blue-purple royal skies;

Weeping waters flow;
Down the brook;
Rubbing against the rocks;
In so it looks;...

Cuckooland
You are miles from your origin
Existing in a pine box
Your only company is 
The quarell between tick and tock

Controled in your place by
Unseen minutes and time
Freedom is sparse 
Yours and mine

Your view never alters
Except for night and day
You dont sleep in that dark time
In the light , time fleets away

Your voice is stiffled
By a blind clock makers hand
And just like us humans
You will never understand...

When The Love Is Honest
When the love is honest, it's a clear spring,
Reflecting truth in every ripple's gleam.
A sturdy oak that weathers every sting,
Roots deep in the soil of mutual esteem.
It's an open book with pages pure,
No ink of lies to mar its pristine sheets.
A lighthouse beam, unwavering and sure,
Guiding ships through stormy heartbeat fleets.
When love is honest, it's a golden key,
Unlocking hearts, setting spirits free....

blue eyes 
watching me
my golden eyes 
watching you

blue eyes

blue eyes
burning like fire

blue eyes
of shining stars 
blue eyes

armies and fleets
falling to your power

falling to the power of your 
blue eyes

your blue eyes
are the sacker of cities
cities full of villains
and broken spirits

your blue eyes are watching
as men and women flee
from burning, falling buildings

they flee before the power
of your blue eyes...

Waves crash down each day by day
As fishing boats dare make their way
The village square, by dawn, now quiet
as endless waves, with rocks, play riot

Then hustle and bustle, taunting streets
With men and boys from fishing fleets
Children scamper, scurrying, scream
While women weighing fish they clean

When midday sun offers no retreat
And cobblestones lie hushed with heat
Siesta silence creeps into town
Except where waves come crashing down...

The story of our past
Engulfs the future of our present
Kleidoscope lens zooms at star speed
Flames left from frozen mouth bender
As seagull glides new treetop defender

Archers of embassy packed in heat
Hips to knees the october feast glee
Breaking free to shatter time piece
All crows congregate a started belief

This next crack coincides together
Heart luminous, fleets to heaven
Chartering new age of diamond soul
Clamoring from waves that break the toll...
