Short Hitherto Poems

‘My Wife drank from this cup’, said I one morning, as I woke to start my mourning.

The cup was half full - of tea - and hitherto lost memories....

I love rain
Birds fly to their nests...
That boy hitherto in sleep...
And the mid-day sun...
Sound sleeps again
...

Rains are now tears
What???!!!
How the hell...
So true, so true, so true...

Hitherto unseen chance arrangements
a pictorial fiction, representation immortelle
Banal,but witty yet disconcerting in its
fortuitous resemblance to veracity
A novel way of seeing ,to the jaded eye....

Flummoxed foxes fleeing, fumbling forward from furious
Hurried heaving hounds howling hourly hitherto

Stop

Withered weathered wild woods would weep when
Man made memories murdering many mammals 

Stop...

He is in air wide
In tune with Whirling Dervish
Enjoying the love.

Better ones gaze at
What eyes fail to see hitherto
The best ones up there.

Resonance all over
Deep into Dervish's heart cozy
Love lives there only....

a gentle magnetic breeze suffuses form
rising from a centreless fulcrum within
hitherto dormant nodes within come alive
celebrating the sublime caress of love divine
cajoling soma nectar to drip from the bliss hive...

VAIN WAIT

I look not for a life
I have got one
I look not for death
I only live once

Your search is rash
Your find is hash
Your days are haze
Your mind in daze

Come hither yonder
Some will filter sooner
Tom’s peep hitherto asunder
One is I nearing tether


THE INVINCIBLE PEN...

walk to fame
singing my notes
as a virtuosic
applauded habitually

pitching new octaves
alto and tenor
our dulcet tunes
loudly echo

of seamless hearts
tickled to laughter
our guileless smile
wakes bliss

our empyrean dreams
hitherto slumbering still
to stay living
gains life...

Divine Mother moves
across patterned grooves,
vivifying form
by magnetism warm.

Hitherto inert
nodes begin to spurt,
dancing in rhythm,
within body prism.

Becoming twice born,
soul presence looks on,
as heightens delight
in this wingless flight.

Grass Calls for
 More and more
And I water and water.
The Obese: Expires

Hitherto, that grass
Spikingly Winds up by the"Plop, Plop"
Snubbing over the drops.
And Passes.

The Olive Grass
Gawking incessantly out at the flecked Rays
I witness them dance
They post me the murmuring messages

Of the Wind....

Willows wink cautiously, stream downtrodden steep cavern

fixed twelve ancient existence, dim lit dreamscape.

Draw scribble hitherto fortune gold melt, cent tenth.

Alas awake if could name such, surround rusts faded silence.

Quit sorrow dilemma yanked empire squander

tear victim of gravity’s twisted humor,

gather laughter…...

Put pen to paper and
as the ink flows
so too your strength grows.
The power of the pen
to heal and reveal
innermost thoughts
amazes.
Words within
hitherto unrecognized
take form.
As you scribe unconsciously
the introduction to self
sparks a new friendship
of intimacy.
Put pen to paper
for the combining of the two
creates a powerful force....

Stupor pays a heavy cost,
for with soul awareness lost,
ignorance results in grief,
until we turn a new leaf.

Trapped outside but free within,
silence the way to begin,
whereupon ego recedes;
we follow, pulse of love leads.

Soul’s light, hitherto concealed,
is in timeless time revealed,
within our heart, where God dwells.
Hark ye not yet, bliss beat bells?...

Pondering over this and that,
Mind simply did not work,
Everything fell quite flat,
It had been worked too much,
I do agree to full,
But it also could not remain such,
I could feel the heated pate,
As I pulled in a deep breath,
which was hitherto in a bate,
a exhaustive exhale out,
I felt it had calmed and cooled a bit,
A second later it was full of thoughts on full sprout....

When subject and objects merge, what remains,
save breathing pulsation of unity,
as all-ness in separateness ingrains
wholeness of creation in certainty,
throbbing within in continuity?
Essence of presence, in continuance,
feels each nuance through inner sentience,
radiant in the vibrant bliss current,
in playful, joyous dance of innocence,
manifesting the hitherto latent.

That which does me distinguish 
I cannot just relinquish
Before Cameras “Slender”
Why would I change My Gender?
All along An Insider,
My name Wilder, not Spider …

Does one seek identity
Making one Non-Entity;
Face to face with things The Right
And still opting for The Tight:
Hitherto not a Villain
Why now to it a steely chain?

The wind does not skirt billow
With Girl’s head on a pillow....

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Before The Storm
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: January/1987


Ocean wind,
      wilt thou bluster
thou fierce winds
       thenceforth
the storm -

        She's gone
hitherto places
         thou trust not 
known -

Will she come back
         ahead of the storm,
in love still
         embraced in thou
arms -

         Or, will the rain
continue to fall -...

We persist in running again.
Eyes widened by experience, open like wounds.
Heavy jaws of ruminated
Portions.
Hallucinations of wolves and foxes and mean people,
Ripped members and massacres could
Always and never happen. Our lives
Mean nothing while living in
Tastebuds of animals and those who profit
From our meat and coarse hair.
They fade in our mind, hitherto
We persist in running,
To fleetingly feel alive....

Lies told from a broad, bold base
Strain and constrain relationships
Painting impressions that cannot embrace
Confidence in frayed friendships

Lies can’t leapfrog
Despite webs of subterfuge
Digital or analog
Concocted in a deluge

Flooding platforms
Hitherto serene
Grown stale when sullied storms
Gather momentum to clean

Fragments of laments
Swimming in rivers of regrets
Sealed in hearts and garments
That break free of sleazy secrets....

That
that was
hitherto
hidden from us,
in time is revealed.
The ego impatient,
as a doer, interferes,
impeding flow of the current,
thereby delaying our soul progress.
The path clear: we must vaporise ego!

Unable to use mind to transcend mind.
we melt into the void of stillness,
going within in quietude;
in tranquil joy solitude.
No one here resident,
save child innocent,
unresistant,
allowing
bliss to
flow.

I write for the disadvantage
in coins, 
Can I contain this feeling, feeling of rage? 
The veil on his face reveals little of the man within, 
Maimed, raped, molested by the affluent, 
And the government of the day, 
is becoming silent, 
All he did he need to pay, 
Day she thought was her breakthrough, 
She met more than she could chew, 
At the corridors of Justice....
Justice, justice, justice 
Where art thou? 
She writes helter-skelter for it hitherto...

Furious George
was a monkey, so bad
He beat up his trainer
which made him feel glad

You can find him often
pitching a fit
But don't get too close
while he's throwing his ....

Then came the day
when a publisher called
to further a deal
hitherto stalled

But in the end
they rejected his story
and Furious George
left them just a bit gory

He was hauled off to jail
awaiting appeal
while his Curious Cousin
got the book deal

Many a times I felt your footsteps
One after another, tiptoeing, afraid to intrude
The niched life of your own son, caged in golden fetters
Hitherto unknown to you, you remain the Angel
Endlessly adoring me, though I have been traveling far 
Recklessly smearing my childhood with the soots of present

You bear it silently, like the first dewdrops of Autumn
Oscillating between past and present, present and past
Undeterred by all the changes, you dust the old album...

Whence 
day lighted Anthem(s) 
in metamorphosis for one Haiku included 
Jackson Street in the city of Edinburg , 
even though a Duke outlook 
in Cans,  
Sardin
Oil blessing in assimilating such and so!

Why Haiku? Why so?
An inevitable question was in nuptial engagement
for optimum and optical fiber 
reasoned and seasoned for both
Even though!

Knowing Marination 
too much in spoon, hitherto

Hiatus, The speaker in dismay
postponed the case
Just in case!...
