Short Ignoble Poems

ignoble head low
dark eyes glance up wanly 
feathers softly fall...

Gushing out the gory deeds of the selfish,
Shushing out the sublime  actions of  the Being!!...

sea-foam collects from fountains of dust
how can cremation, for you be just?...

Martyrs die 
for clear faith ...
that is noble belief
Idiots die 
for blind   ignorance,
that is ignoble stupidity.......

Flies past my window
As if I am a strangler
Is that the new way home?

Peers through the window panes
Of my innermost contemplation
Could that be my ignoble double?...

There are so many horrible things I had said and did…
So many times I simply went with what God once forbid,
There is sadly no ways I can make up for actions so sordid....

frigid winds
slice through
forlorn survivors

vicious viruses
infect
silently

ignoble trolls
incinerate
merrily

loitering crowds
frolic
mindlessly

tis the season
for 
force-fed
forgettable 

FOLLY...

One man’s treasure, one man’s trash;
saved for years, then sold for cash.

Though held once in high esteem,
tarnish overtook their gleam.

Dull they sit and patient wait,
helpless to control their fate.

Auctioned off, or harsher still,
land ignoble, in a fill....

Day bringer with a crown of rayed sunshine.
Artist of the Spring.
Nuisance of the gardeners lawn. 
Delight beneath the child’s chin.
Envoy of wishes and dream flights.
Luscious wine font.
Ignoble hero of nutrition.
Ornament of flower chains
Nutritious salad fare....

I
Spirit of God gives wisdom:
Read Acts, chapters 4 & 5
Doing charity and kicked down
Ananais & Sapphira: not alive

II
Peter sensed this couple, Christian
Had ignoble motives, sold land
Lied to him, they donated everything
At his feet. Scary bible study. Be warned...

Miss Zeta Omegini  on all fools’ day
                       Played with a pendulum and penned a play
                                     Pendulum went home
                                     And wrote a big tome
                           They got ignoble and rolled in the hay...

Fear, the ghost of indecision
where darkness stalks each day

Confusion our ignoble master,
bewildered we fall prey

Terror caught in nightly doldrums,
the walls start closing in

As choices wait our will to answer
—or die this fate within

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)...

A blind lion is still dangerous.
A toothless lion still strong.
A declawed lion still magnificent.

An imprisoned heart
by no means caged.
A King dethroned remains royal.

It is ignoble to imagine
a crippled life to be anything other
than the radiant spirit
of freedom....

morality sits on the nose 
of this blind man

an option of intrigue 
is there for the taking
  
that call, that lure 
from a feral hunter
to a wounded prey 
soliciting capture

as I reach for the ignoble
the knees, the elbows 
the betwixt, the between
a door to an orifice opens
revealing our imminent doom
...

They try to shrink the world into their

Deplorable size   

For 

To magnify their insignificant selves so as

Great men in the eyes of the world to 

Appear,


But


They fall into the abyss of infamy-

Victims of their vindictive vanity-

Where forgotten shall remain into

Eternity!

When I look in your eyes I see a beaut,
The aspect of your love is unexceeded.
I'd give entirely everything in the cosmos,
For you?, how I feel is illimitable.

The nomenclature of our kinship is unlike others,
Sadness hates our happiness...ignoble hoi polloi.
Maybe a baby one day can join our 2's company,
To make a long story short..............I love you....

The end of all things, an uncertain road?
    To ignoble ends, reduced to mere bone,
    To journey beyond, into the unknown,
    To return to harvest seeds past sewn,
    Or glorify Him, who lightened the load,
        the end of all things…

I checked my last two poems
Then I searched for understanding
But then I realised the love

The poem allows for ignorance
The lack of understanding
The disobedience of language
Its rules and colons
Its commas or decision
That is my love

The ignoble is now the monarch
Where are the rules of language
They are lost in rancour
That the message is passed
There is my love...

Les fleurs, frissonnent et se fanent
et les feuilles brisées salissent la terre 
tordu et froid - plane au rythme durent
comme des visages rompus, emprisonné d’une peinture

Et tes yeux noirs brûlent 
comme le brouillard de ce soir
dans le ventre du chaudron ignoble
enlaidi par les marteaux de Hephaestus (le magnifique), qui serre
le charbon, qu'appelles-tu tes yeux - les diamants transpercent....

The son of Helios He was the noble Helium
                       But He was an elemental slug fond of Valium
                                All said He was not at all noble
                                   He was basically Ignoble-
                         Anomalous wetting of Helium on Caesium

 Carrying an ignoble act in mind
With a ruse to devour all humankind.
A witch will tell you that all will be well
If you allow her to cast a charmed spell.

Ignore her and find that your soul be cursed
By a demon spell that can't be reversed.
On Halloween there'll be no redemption 
No place to hide, no divine exemption.

The cumulous arrive in train;
with thrusting breath that reeks of rain,
a roiling moody, leaden pall,
to shroud the world in shadow-fall.

Thunder grumbles; muted flashes,
rain with sting and wind with lashes,
a blanket, nebulous, intends,
for blue to meet ignoble ends.

When all seems lost and Sol's retreated,
in evidence he's not defeated;
a shaft of sunlight tells the wary,
the veil's only temporary.

Sweet as an apple
Pious as a Bible
Resolving battle
TOI is a supple.
Anything brittle
Or be it subtle
It make it nuzzle
TOI is a supple.
It is like a ripple
Increasing wheedle 
Clearing baffle
TOI is a supple.
Those who toddle
Should read Title
Ads may be ignoble
But TOI is a supple.
Those who whistle
Or go as turtle
Or in a debacle;
TOI is a supple.
To remove pustule
TOI is best Tool
Makes mind fertile
TOI is a supple....

she would have been
here with her sons
by her side -
but the way of the world
she had gone
nobly gone 
to the other side of the hill
look at that ignoble mound
they erected
for her
our poor mother
richer than the richest man
in the world today -
i wish i had been like her
an angel in manners
she left a star
on the azure of our souls
"she would come
sooner or later" they say
let mother come
to give brightness
to my collapsing house -
mother, come 
the house awaits your return...

Peasant bread to feed the masses,
  millers stone between the classes

Grovel here and grovel there,
  crumbs for beggars—no meat to share

Caught inside the rising dough,
  leavened voices cry out low

Baking deep within the flames,
  bribes that lie—and Lords to blame

With each slice cut, Hell calls a name,
  its coals to brand, ignoble fame

Bread for the masses, meat off the bone,
  revenge on fire—the Devil’s throne

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...
