Short Patently Poems

My people and I are threatened all over the world

    For me to write of 'flowers and fragrance,' patently absurd...

It's not hard to find
the best in everything
still believing
loving the dreaming
striving and fighting
that nothing and no one is hopeless
knowing out there
somewhere
there you are
taking your time
anticipating
and patently
watching and waiting for me...

Oh how I've for the day to be.
 When my beautiful dark angel would speak to me.
       The harmony of her voice that lends comfort to me
 and the warmth of her touch brings joy to me.
       If ever the day should come when such a melody
 should not play.
       I'll sit patently and wait,yet thankful for 
 yesterday...............

I am leaving love
Behind~

Your trickery 
Took 
The last little
Bit of it.

I have become
Brittle,
Dry like desert
Sand and wind

Patently 
     Painting
          Pretty
               Patterns

Into illusions;
Magic mirages
Made of nebulous 
Daydreams,

Destined to disappear,
Leaving me
Lonely and lost
In despair.

Serving my Nation I dreamed
But to wake and dread
Making a precis of the data.

Imaging the drops
Cascading my drums
Which eyelashes could not dam.

Was it not my desire
That I be decked
In the coveted dress?

Oh the monster's drill
That kept me drenched
And oft kept me dry

But patently in few days'
I shall hear the thrum of drum
And in the end find the City a droll....

I believe that somewhere your spirit waits for me
I believe somehow we were and  are meant to be
I believe those who have tired to make us part in every way
Will soon see we have found each other and together we will forever stay
I believe the spirits have put us  here together again
A complete the life for us that they had planned
And I will wait here patently
Until you too believe like me...

Beauty and diversity





With a thousand and one diversities
defining beauty sounds moronic

Deep blue eyes and glossy skin
that patently are a lover's whim, 
Ornate the wrapped dry emotions
and a stone cold heart sometimes,

While an awful look cannot ensconce
the warmth and brimming allegiance
of mind and thoughts that never fail to entice.

Insidious, insipid, id-inebriated imbeciles
wage a wanton war of words without wit, wisdom or worldliness.
Regrettable, repugnant reprobates ravage refined realms as
pirouetting pariahic pyres patently a pyrrhic prize.

I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am dwindling away,
And i hardly need to tell you this is not a normal day.
Now i'm smaller than a pickle,
Than a pencil,
Than a prune,
And it's patently apparent i will vanish very soon.
I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am smaller than a bean,
And unless there's a reversal,
I will exit from the scene.
I'm receding every second,
Now i'm smaller than a flea,
A midge,
A molecule,
And now i'm nothing to see........

Surely it is virtually impossible

To hide and disguise

In plain sight

Of curious mind eyes

The quite patently blatantly obvious

Unless that is of course 

Those they who are

Looking and watching on 

Are so terminally stupid

And utterly delusional

In the end it all makes

Perfect sense

As we only see

What we want to until 

Everything else becomes somehow

Somewhat superfluous 

If we do not like what we see...

Cloud


What can we say about a cloud 
to say it is gloomy is patently wrong
you can say it is white, grey or black (dark)
but a cloud doesn't know it is a cloud
it is the few things in nature that are soulless
but not wholly so, it came from somewhere
it could be the residue of a fart expelled by
the cosmos, well, it has to happen you can´t hold 
in a flatus forever if you try a disservice to
nature itself and your stomach.
Which tells us that nothing is quite a lot....
