Blisters from shoes, hampered his speed
Banters from foes, sauntered to bleed
Ran barefooted, marathon booted
Ethiopia on his feet, milestone in feat....

Let  me not be  hampered  at all.
Allow every chip to fall
I am with spleen displayed
Utterly despaired  with tempid  tears
Soiled and disheveled,--A POST MARKED SOUL...

Hopeful Hope hoped to hop an icy slope,
The hapless slope hampered hopeless Hope’s Hope.
But hope dies last,
And Hope at last 
Happily happed to hop an icy slope!

In a mindset 
Hampered by sadness and dejection
I only ask you to carry on
Heave your weighty troubles
Over your fragile shoulders
And I will catch your baggage
If ever you should fall...

HABOOB

Harried sands joins forces,
Hurrying towards us,
Heavy with thud of hooves.
Horrified! Seek shelter!
Hampered sun does not shine.
Hope sought in praying hands,
Hapless in the storm’s core.

Tonight I thought passion would bring
But not in the shape of a bed spring
The very moment I peaked
I felt what was breached
Now I am so very hampered in upswing

Limerick : Once a lazy Lout without any clout		

Once a lazy Lout without any clout
Entered politics though hampered by gout
Party voted him Chief
Being good at misChief
Now UN wants him for what ? Ne’er a doubt !

I was water
I flowed as calm as a breeze
You hampered my flux
Stopped a force of nature dead in its tracks
You brought me to my knees
You swept through my forest
You burned down all of my trees
You did it so naturally
You did it with the slightest of ease...

Upon the branch of wasted nothing
Where hampered flight upon crushed wing
Seldom do days come shorter
When seldom is there reason to sing
But to push out from unhappy nest
Without course to fly
Better to fall and lay at rest
Then yearn for unreciprocating sky...

hampered by deep snow

progress slow as molasses

           in January

 wild and howling wind

opens the portal wide to

  the reign of the wolf

Burdens abound
as they wrap around
a fragile mind in the dark

But a glimmer of light
can break through the night
when love is given spark

A heart can't beat
when heaven is unmeet
and to sunder a soul will frown

But when love is alive
and men take to them wives
a soul can't be hampered down...

awaken in the vine
casting lot for a pick
for a gracious luck
scattered on spiky pines
of roses, of tulip, and of more 

pick a lock of hearts
of deuces stack
shuffling decks of paltry picks
when only aces counts 

piece by piece
settling in for the race
a stag in a horse race
hampered and broken
an adventure of cascading dreams.....

Rust coats the wheels 
beyond appeals;
our halting grind
shall carve behind
the truth of life
shed on their knife.

We’ve laid to waste
by slack and haste
all blessings grown
once called our own
by trusting lies
from fraud’s disguise.

While they juggle
our dire struggle
with childish toys
cranking out noise,
trapped souls despise
each conscious prize....

like callous comet
bully cloud belched
punctured pills puked
vying nauseated view
dark dances drool
squashing strained mood

like taunted torrent
rustic rain rent
wanky waves melt

gaunt boulevard growling
tainted trees throwing
hoisted hampered hankering

such sassy trends
coached Dimash's crest.

gaunt path gnawed
heaving hampered awe
sassy zeal seeped'n
felon furnace spree
masticated moans yawned
bruised bridge's pawn

airy atmosphere amputated
trailing alakazam taunted
gloom's gored lips

voluptuous asunder vied
punctured pulses plied
raged reels' wiles

fate fostered boundary
smothered silhouettes merry.

felon fate fostered
feigning flimsy clusters
voluptuous verge drown
cremating callous clown
dark dribbles birthed
hampered hankerings hoisted

moaning mists raved
foiling rusty rage
wanky will wailed

meagre moans masticated
voluptuous vying hibernated
bruised bugs perfected

porous pulses oozed
tracing taunted tune.

nocturnal nature nimble
hibernating hampered hurdle
salient acme strained
whooshing wills waned
drooling dainty dirge
pruning punctured perch

sassy spectre surged
leasing lofty lurch
amputated atmosphere pursed

airy ascension hacked
felon fate squashed
trailing taunted trance

porous prayer pulled
gaunt gravity's hood.

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves

eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh

fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked

callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

B-attle dress uniform is worn, 
E-arly fourteenth of February; 
L-ike a truly prepared fighter with the armor of the Almighty. 

F-it battle dress uniform 
A-llows you to move with precision; 
L-etting you win the spiritual war, 
S-aving your soul from destruction. 
A-s your faith is hampered by 
R-ugged wind and strong storm; 
I-t's time to use the power 
O-f the battle dress uniform....

The schism is forgotten on this day.
Our insanity is hurried by the sun's sway.

We stroll on the rocks without a coast.
Clouds hurriedly come into view impost.

When it rains, it soaks up onto the sidewalk.
Passion is what gives us the capacity to talk.

Our emotions are hampered by your ooze.
We'll be way up that hill while you snooze.

So much conflicting thoughts
My heart bled and punctured
At different spots.
I dread my succeeding
My fear extremely nurtured
And greatly hampered my 
proceeding.

Gradually, my fire burned out
Nothing, but a coward scout.

At the touch of grace
Strength swallowed my 
weakness  
Bold and back on the race
To my challenges, fearless

Awakened is my soul
Marching on with a victorious 
sole....

So, the regimental adjutant is to command 3rd Company
As we escort three million francs to Puebla?
Leave it to the general to trust such a fortune 
To a band of misfits led by a staff lackey 
Who can’t even shuffle cards, hampered as he is 
By that ridiculous wooden hand.
Well, I just hope the good captain’s prick
Isn’t characterized by splinters.
We’re likely to get a good screwing 
Before we accomplish this mission....

heart is its own enemy when pursuing truth,
it is hampered by compassion and wily doubt,
adapts the events to suit its own narrative,
in its journey from birth to its final last beat,
cannot tell the thief from the saviour and the saint,
wisdom may know, but the heart lives and dies a child!
