Short Resurgent Poems

rumbling discontent
suppressed passion seeking air
steaming stained tears
evolution’s resurgent
blossomed introspection

Seems my fame has travelled far and wide
My limericks have made a resurgent worldwide
May it continue a bit
Even without a permit
Hope to continue till it's beddy-byes time...

All these young rebels get way too much press
  for causes and movements they loudly profess

So, as an aging hipster, a resurgent Mad Hatter
  I announce the formation of 'Gray Hair Matters'...

When quenching
the silence
alone at the well

One ladle
awaits me
and loneliness quelled

Tomorrow resurgent
all thirst
fading fast

My shadow
refilling
— the emptiness past

Hearing it again
for the thousandth rhyme,
still within the present
More inherent, more alive,
each reading
more resurgent

Hearing it again
the words still new,
reborn as they’re recited
Bleeding the moment
away from time
—no longer unrequited

the heat builds inside me 
sweat popping from my forehead
stinging my eyes 

there's no relief from the surges
taking away my sanity
my inner thermostat broken

so i sit here fanning like crazy
while others stare on
with their calm and refresh demeanor

there is no relief from the heat resurgent
making the dull pain in my head ache...

DELIBERATIONS
nonetheless
a deliberate
continuance
in
a
 realisation
of
the
 emotional

idealogies
 are
suspended
 in
a
 humbler
resurgent
inheritance
  strengthened
 transplanted
transfigured
 &
tempered
by
valid unbroken
tradition...
