Short Javelin Poems

Your entrance 

was a javelin 

thrown in a stadium 

that could not measure the distance...

Give me a javelin, a fork and a spear
Why do you need to know?
Just come closer, my little dear.
Close enough to throw…....

Strum gently 
as you wait for love,
lest the tune escape.

The story of a true myth 
quivers in a sad song,
blows in the breeze,
hopes,
whispers, 
fades.

Then a new voice soars 
like a javelin 
thrown at the sky....

India's pride, Neeraj Chopra ~
His javelin sings for sports opera, 
With his golden arm, he breaks world records, 
An Army Subedar*, he's won many awards. 



*Subedar - a mid-level junior commissioned officer....

Carved a niche in history with his javelin throw
Neeraj Chopra, the Indian with golden glow
He speared it in his first attempt, cool and composed 
The next was ev’n better, he triumphed unopposed.

hobo artists
share frowns
of
fortune.

hands give chaperon
harems to accelerate
truant arousal.

postscripts bargain ordeal,
casualties
fatalities
blossom hymns,
paying tribute to jagged wreaths.

and

bolero cotillions
applaud javelin
apparitions....

It was not my plan to be here.
I was drawn hither by cold beer
Thither, Hell’s heat too stiff to bear
Nor should I to it flesh spare…

And, now, everywhere noise is near.
You know I don’t drink and keep fear
Noise, next full storm and life is dear.
So leave I should: try some calm rear
What do I say: came to quaff beer
Just met knife, sword, javelin and spear
And before I could quit blood-smear?...

Comet strikes the heaven 
It is Armageddon
Like a celestial javelin 
It displays its blazon

The comet hits plane different then time
The results are sublime
The vortex created is in prime 
But what is seen there is indescribable by a simple rhyme

The vortex will dance
Creating larger vortexes in ever growing expanse
Their cosmic beauty will enchant and in trance 
As the strength of the soul they will enhance...

With hungriest eyes 

I scan

the distant skyline.



Searching for love at

all compass points.



In the crimson tumble

of sunset

your face smiles

imposed on velvet clouds.



Distance impales my heart

on javelin lasers.



Biting back the sting of tears

I pray

beyond the cruel vault

of land and sea;



over the blue horizon

we will be together forever

some day....

In his heart was an intense glow
After his seeming superb show:
An unsurpassed Philistine Throw
Until whistled “A Disallowing No”
That nearly javelin blood flow
Stopped from his head to toe
And a seizure wired like a blow …

Clear that a bank account won’t grow,
A once hot spirit is icy snow;
For all this rousing with the cock’s crow!

Now a bow is sick and tired of an arrow,
A once healthy Toyota awaiting a tow....

THE

                      END

Amidst the pulsating tumult of the End

  She sits …... calm ..… gentle ….. still

    Like the silent heart of the violent

       Storm that rages around her;

         A disembodied rose petal,

            Settled on the thorns.

              My heart is pierced

                  by a javelin of

                     tranquillity.

                      The End

                           ....

To War goes a Chariot:
To a Special Riot; 
With Quivers of Arrows, 
Bones piercing with Marrows… 

Had Throwers of Javelin, 
All through Men, no Jocelyn.
Chariots were for Elliot 
And Judas Iscariot; 
Largely part-horse, part-cart
You’d see and lose heart!

The Armored Car of Old,
Now in loved plastic Sold;
For The Tough Kid as Toy,
Future Soldier still Boy;
Some in Expensive Gold:
Their drivers fierce and Bold;
Ready to Homes destroy.
Make one cease being The Coy!...
