Short Singularly Poems

Today I’m thankful for words and music
and their singularly beautiful goals….
Words are meant to touch our hearts
while music fills our souls....

A word that lately gets little traction
     though when used provokes quite a reaction

   I find it singularly persuasive ~ 
     to describe the world today as 'invasive'...

serene stun scenes seen
singularly secluded 
stars seem simply shining strained 

sun shuns such scent sacks 
sabotages surroundings ---
scribble sleek soft-sounding songs

two ficus trees…

   fighting… a full-bore fracas…

     one malled the other

   masterpiece, 'Mall Tree,' I
   was singularly inspired......

rocks watching the moon rise
over the banyan grove
in the shadows 
the monkeys fornicate
ears and eyes recording
this singularly unique but ordinary evening
the glowing moon never moves an iota
while it is being watched
the jumping pike
makes a triumphal splash
all motion moves in invisible chains...

I am a daughter of the sea
a sister to heaven
smothered in earth


an unknown scent
of fragrant nights
exists in me 
and no other


I am one of many
but singularly unique
painted in no hand
but melded 
by a multi-verse


I am legion Invictus
forever my march 
streams
I am of the source 


I am multitude...

How does one capture a heart?
Is it an instantaneous moment of seizure
Ensnared by a singularly magical minute
A spell cast
In a twinkling of time
With just
One 
Touch?

How does one capture a heart?
Is it trapped in time
By a gentle coaxing, 
A trust
Taking it apart piece by piece
Until it is given away
Without 
Reluctance?...

The sane file singularly, wait impatiently to enter
the sanctuary of sanatoriums.
Crazy has a mission, it rushes, it presses
with a pitiless paranoia,
it packs suitcases moves into unguarded minds.
For we cannot spell it out, dare not decry;
for the mad remain morbidly mean,
they are building places
to keep us far, far away
from what we could and now should say....

Combing through the carnage
Questions outnumber answers
Derailed if dwell on the details 
Will we forfeit all our advances?

Easy to get singularly focused 
On second guessing decisions 
Better to not ruminate on regrets
Since the past has no revisions 

Power in pivoting to the present 
As a new path has been charted 
Final destination still unknown
But in a better place than we started...

Try to often and readily avoid
What makes others annoyed:
During prayer pressing android,
Invading others’ spaces, yours void,
Another appetite getting cloyed;
A plane stopping from being buoyed.

Try to singularly avoid
A killer knee on the neck of Floyd
Leaving A Triangle to draw A Cuboid
A Circle skipping for A Trapezoid
A Human making out as A Humanoid…

With others’ dreams I’ve never toyed....

MONUMENTO MOMENT

The image becomes a phrase

minimalist in flavour,these

syllables become a form.

A phrasis of verse out of

my mind’s eye to light

bonfires of imagination in

another’s.The enigmatic and 

ephemeral,naked and

ashamed lie here for all

to see and hear.A monumento

moment,the very motion of

my being,singularly my own.

KONAKOVO


Konakovo was an ugly place


Where grass should be there was none
Rough-hewn icy paths   to slip on
Concrete blocks of massive size 
To the clouds all tried to rise
Singularly   lacking grace
A  soviet  town  with  wintry  face


We strolled in the  cold each day 
But she was by my side
We laughed at the pigeons grey
And she was by my side 
We walked near the Volga bay
And loved  the water so wide


Konakovo was a lovely place...

Superb the sounds of summer’s soliloquy
So sweetly singing the sparrow’s song,
Sometimes she sounds suddenly sonorous
Since startled sparrows sing shrilly strong,
Summer sounds so singularly sacrosanct
Swallows and swifts sing slow and soft,
Sailing skyward like sandpipers swinging
Standing, then, on solid sand sashaying
Soon sauntering, staying satisfied, sane,
Soothing summer sounds stolidly serene.

And uS

There was a man 
Here is this man

Here man 
Man there 

Here a man over there 
There is a man over here

Here is this man
There is that man

What becomes of we? 

A man there and another man over here.

Divided, displaced and singularly stated... we simply become dumbfounded;

And uS . . . ?


(Insert man scratching his head here)
           
                                                                   (and another one over there)
