Short Irrevocably Poems

inexorably
     inevitably
     irrevocably
     the week winds down
     like an old-fashioned
     wristwatch
     time for
     the hands
     to rest...

Jasmine wafts 


     From sun-kissed shoulders


            Entrancing the senses

      
                Irrevocably









For Brian's Contest, "Imagine". The painting which inspired me was "Summer Evening"....

Positively, 
Definitely, 
Absolutely,
Certainly

Irreversibly,
Undeniably,
Unerringly,
Reliably

Categorically,
Indisputably,
Unfalteringly,
Irrefutably 

Undoubtedly, 
Irrevocably,
Unquestionably,
Unequivocally...

... FINAL!

Maybe....

Physics and experience tell us

that two poles of a magnet

(north and south)

are irrevocably,

irrepressibly

drawn;

their trajectory,

the destruction 

and creation in their path,

no less inevitable

than the stars in the sky 

the gods placed there

to teach us how to dream....

Never writing for the unholy dollar,
  but that kid in a hundred years

When the world has irrevocably changed,
  and lies are all one hears

If he could happen to chance upon my words,
  just once while searching blind

Then my humble verse would breathe new life
  —within his ears to find

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

I'm taking a leaf out of Prince William's book
the next time that I have my hair trimmed
I might just take the plunge and copy his new look
since mine has irrevocably thinned.
One hundred and eighty the price I shall pay
once I have got that cash to hand
my barber says that he can do that price, say,
if he charges me two quid a strand....

Eyeing its prey from its perch above
  it swoops in on its target
inserting its poison and darting away
  its imperiled victim blissfully unaware

Innocent, unsuspecting, incredulous
  that one creature would attack another
on this lovely exoplanet, AS796324xe
  as it/we hurtle irrevocably 
         ~ into the nether regions of nothingness...

Betrayal is the hardest lesson to digest
Trust irrevocably broken
Undeserved treachery
Wasted efforts on reasoning
What will never be understood

Caught with my guards down
Feeling gullible almost responsible
Shock takes a while to subdue
So very hard to forgive
Impossible to forget

That azure day, a starlit eve of spring, long time ago
I realized at last, irrevocably
that I would love that slip of a girl all my life
that no-one else would be her way one with the land, 
a part of the landscape
the forest natter of none in the same way

Long ago, when I could hardly foresee
what it would require and with interest claim
and that love for that blue-eye
would measure me relentlessly, without residue...

All I ever do is think of you
you spin around in my head like
annoying circles

I wish I could have distinguished this
feeling before it got out of hand
but your unbelievable cuteness 
has me stuck 

In fact I'm treading so close to
the waters of unrequited love
I almost can feel the emptiness
and you have not even left yet

I save a sigh for you
because I know when I'm through
I will be irrevocably in love with you...

i dreamt 
i was a bumblebee
wild and carefree
frivolous and playful
dancing up
a summer breeze
flirting with the sun
a wanderer a drifter
tipsy drunk on perfumes
enticing and alluring
irrevocably seduced
in a sea of temptresses
