Short Razed Poems

Only forty-six days
          that Ukraine’s been razed

        Media’s bored
          with the war

        Onto something new
          to titillate you...

Whispers of your skin, a piercing ember
Razing my soul, in heart's December
You spurn my soul, still I'm holding on tight
To the oath of your love, a guiding light...

my heart feels
nothing
which is something
one thing

my heart cries
razed tears
which is one thing
something

my heart wraps
ravaged wasted years
into something
nothing...

Once supremely placed,
This ship, now, lay razed;
It's pushed, pulled, storm-chased,
By weather, debased,
Rust, rot, and moss laced,
Stands, yet, greatness graced...!!!

Barn Raising
Dr. James E. Martin
©November, 2013

The barn was quickly raised.
The crowd was simply amazed.
They later were confused,
No one was amused,
As the barn was speedily razed....

Never Again
again and again 
a catch phrase 
a caught phase 
with people 
caught up in a craze 

Never Again
again yet again 
a catch phrase 
a caught phase
a people
wrought just to be razed...

No reasonable heir
to take the throne
the king went away sad
and by himself (refusing
rhyme)

The store front where
I stood so many years
watching my father work

Now razed to the ground
sold for too cheap
a price....

Haiku
 Invisible flowers 
Hidden among razed houses
Jordan valley 

Haiku
Army vehicles
Inside sat soldiers of doom.
Broken olive trees 


Haiku
The heartless triumph 
They lose their humanity 
Apathy is their price...

(of)
whales and windmills
i've chased in haste
seeking Mt. Ida
i've razed and raced
i've sought and longed
to meet Flammonde
and talk and tell duende
but dreams are dry
and often hushed
from rashes to ashes
from rust to dust...

Sunday come, the old flame beckoned 

Three years and two 

Unities torched, broken, rewind unreckoned 

Violent tears burned and spoken 

Wedded bliss razed unwoken





So this was written by my one friend and asked me to publish it on his behalf.

lost,
remote
shangri-la;
peaceful eden
razed by mother nature and father time.
the paradise we once knew, so far gone;
it will return
only if 
you come
back....

Blue meets you
Right along the horizon
Hurt feelings don't define you

Midnight tolls confine you
You cry tears of sorrows
Moonbeams remind you

Sun razed temperamental hues
Emotional rages flamed views
Feelings hurt don't define you

Dragon gnarling gaze
The fire mouthed beast gurgling
Deluges of flood

And creation cringe
Before the broiling fire, razed
All things with desire

Toppled thrones, doomed kings
Mangled and twisted in wrath
Shambles to the bone

Melting citadels
Smoke choked lungs screams sin's silence
We crumbled to ash...

What in this dream invites
a constant ruse
That gently riles the
things that fuse

A thin razed smile, a semblance
fades
A rendered source of
twilight days

Ask them please and let me through
Inside for me, my days, my you

Of this I think
And thinking lies
This ink will dry
and dryness dies...

She fills the Night with gentle rain - a spring day worth of blessings.
Moonless shadows take to shelters -beneath the bowing Trees.
Through the Wood of Night she moves to find the lost one – that is me  
I cower in the darkest place - hiding from the rain. 
What benedictions she has bestowed the Night - lies dead within my hand.
For what she seeks within me – razed, burnt (within pain)...

The eloquent foundation of a treaty evolved
Luck danced within the fabric that was our skin
Virgins we were to such tasteful artistry
Senses sharpening with each candid discovery

Phosphorescent rivulets blandished our bones
Displaying bravuras of a sensory love
By the vines of felicity we were skeined

A bed of our locks sleet had designed
Fleet each word had become razed
Illustrating wicked fallacies...

Pumpkin seeds were sown with the maize,
Few steps away from the city highways,
Seedlings showed up after few days,
And started growing hastily on the clays,
One fine morning I was admiring sunrays,
Eating garlic bread with mayonnaise,
I saw a flock of goats heading to the bays,
Suddenly they entered into the pumpkin field via sideways,
In no time field got grazed and razed,
Left me baffled, upset and amazed....

Razed garden hung 
Icicle vines crept mortar 
Fingers of the dead 

And the sun died 
Cataract eyed sinking 
This limitless implosion 

Craven mustard then spread 
Barbed 
Waspish sting and evisceration

Slinking down the brick 
I felt incorrigible 
Violence 

The lone oranges dangle 
The only fruit 
Are clockwork 

My black heart suppurated
Necrosis 

Nerve gas sought 
Release to silence 
The screaming 
Myelin...

The city and its steel plant are now "completely liberated" after 531 Ukrainian troops left the site, the Russian defence ministry said.

Completely {
	levelled, depopulated, desolated,
	despoiled, vandalised, looted, pillaged, plundered, 
	devastated, desecrated, ravaged, violated, emptied,
	laid waste, 
	razed to the ground, 
	scorched from the face of the earth, 
	annihilated, obliterated, eliminated. But 
	}
Liberated....

A dynast in the storm-razed
polity will ask-
for a pardon.

By choice there was
no suicide. You will
eat the clouds one day.

Taking the brunt,-
living  near the sea of
people, a window goes shut.

Curtly, with
levitation, the wind
twists, one and everybody.

An owl tattoo, will 
tell it all. The hurricane
has reached your door.

Aftermath was a 
conspiracy of silence.
Every one was speaking of landfall.

Where have you been all my life
I kept on waiting 'till you passed by
I wonder how it took you for so long
To notice that I've been here all along

We managed to vent both our feelings
But it seems our fate is very deceiving
Why would they put us world apart
And let us make a brand new start

Hope is always our line to cling on
But we are always razed with frustration
I hope we can stand still against the time
'Till the day we both say "you are mine"...

Waves tossed fiercefully high,
Wind blew like typhoon,
Fire razed like inferno,
Earth moved like a quaker,
People turned against like foes,
Climes changed to inhospitable,
Grievous events piled up in heaps,
Everything in the ethereal,
seemed destined for destruction,
for good and for real,
Shook they could everything,
everywhere and all over,
The day was saved,
by that "little" thing,
human "grit" and "determination",
stood"inside"giving a lot of hope....

What if people put others needs before their own?
Would it be condoned?
What if everyone helped those in need?
Would it make us bleed?
What if we let someone be first in line?
Should we not be kind?
What if we share with others?
Are we not all brothers?
What if we find that someone is poor?
Should they be ignored?
What if we praised the lord out loud?
Should we be scowled?
What if we sang songs of praise?
Should our homes be razed?
What if we showed others love?
What if?...
