Wine in one hand, 
Memories in the other; 
Life was kind to me. 
But oh, why did you have to come back!...

Perhaps if I sleep
lamentation will vanish
like dew from dark violets
into the sun
leaving only the velvet....

Grief makes the sea turn
Red and it seems we're lost in
Indigo night, yet
Even death can't break our hearts
For love preserves our union...

Absent minds are proved by empty talk
We are sorry but it doesn’t help us
Empty hearts seem to be among folks
We can cry but it doesn’t save us...

Till the other day
As it seems rhododendrons
Walked with me, alas
Now superannuated 
stupidity after rhymes

Oh, come now sweet rain
    And mingle with my last tear
    For I am tired
   The rose has dropped its petals
   There is nothing left but thorns

Able bodied children dead! 
Even fate grieves hopelessly 
In justified keening, lamentation, mourning.
Not one pacifier! 
Queens royally sejant...
Troops under vultures' wings,
Xylophones yack zealously......

Your branches like arms
you suck me
growth in my breast

Your roots merge in vanes
your hair blows with winds
and play in my laps

You beat me when you get hurt
I fell into lamentation
And I think of you my baby...

Chelated Souls’ De-lamentation 

Lovers dejected
lick wounds remonstrate lonely
sorrow ‘til they meet
mate seduce in sex love rock
roll in minds soul mingled hay

Put on a good show
For the people in the front row
Can’t express your true feelings
With a sack on your head
The living dead
On the ground kneeling
Your hands tied
Behind your back
On a one-way ride
On a one-way track
Conceal the lamentation
It’s all in the presentation...

Desires gain traction, as we choose
Dream crystallisation
There then thus being no excuse
For fate lamentation

Be still lama, choose joy
Devoid of ego ploy
Reclaim bliss; be not coy

Law of attraction
Desires gain traction

This white paper screams at me
And I yell back
The more I sit here staring at it
The worse it gets
Where did my muse go to today
Down the drain?
I think I need some inspiration
For this is nothing
Not a poem, not a story, just a
pathetic lamentation
See you tomorrow ;)...

LAMENTATION(A Quintain)

When my memory goes to work,I feel lost and down,
For oppression and poverty which many result to fate,
In abundance,few usurp power and so many suffer these I frown,
Corruption,theft,moral decadence multiply at a faster rate,
Oh!Mother nature,Good and bad;how can both mate?...

Ending the life of the innocents   
Both sexes and ages you destroy, to
Offer widows and inconsolable orphans;
Lamentation and mourning to my motherland

Silence shrouds the sound of his emotions
They shout so loud, yet you hear nothing.
Not because they lost their voice, but because
Of the loudness of the silence.
His lamentation searches for a way,
For a way to something; to someone?

Silence is now against him, not for him
Such power in nothingness, in 'the mute'....

Most if not always 
my consequences rest
in lamentation of spirit. 
End if not means, 
that crime is a call break
of thought bearing geniuses
I guess, if not pretention
That I am a man. 
That everything I bare is an ordeal. 
And every ordeal is quite alarming, 
Wither we may loss or won, 
Is a drawback in His time....

Emotive Urge


     Emotive urge surges
   
                 either to converge  on obsession

                          or to diverge through lamentation
 
                                         or runs parallel with confusion.

If not the clipper in the Saharan grasslands 
Then brother be the zipper to fasten the ethos 
Afrika mourns of today. Lamentation the dry
Ingredient to our sorrows that craft dispare.
Look at how they fattens alike baobab fat yet
I'm proudly a street hustler, bustling trickster 
Thins a biltong shred in toils for sustainance......

When they took him there
did you hear what they did?
Was there call or grunt?
Laugh or scream?
Joy or lamentation?

We perform the strangest or most grotesque
of auditory communications.
Such a mixed bag, such a miscellany!
Torture or tickle? Titillation or skin sensation?
Can we choose to hear pain or pleasure?

The moon had risen its light
Into my bosom taking a flight.
Lofted from pedestal, arise
from this life's caprice
so delight
still but cries.
Life's mortality lowed, renounce
Its memories; never pronounce
The blades, the grass forbade.
Yet the cup of mad,
the death, announce:
Love is bad.
If you yourself, befall;
Then you yourself, a fool....
