Short Sojourns Poems

Too few, these brief steps
         fading fast, as night descends
               sojourns unfulfilled......

Quatrain #879:
KIND


Keep true to heart in journey quest,
Ink stains shape art as verse sparks jest;
Note each bold part as sojourns urge,
Dream and dance start with ample fest.

Seasoned daylight ascends
dominion happening 
upon the bends of merriment
for every venue she sojourns
the fruit of her existence
blooms with each slanted petal
as they settle among the squares
cleaved within the terrain
a beauteous quadrant affirmed

Clanks,

blanks,

cranks,

clash!

Slams in tank,

detours irate!

Ingenious infiltrates,

sojourns knocking,

indignation on the plank,

plutocracy dank!

Dotards are prate,

iridescence is just as late-

prime meridian,

songs obsidian,

and the incandescence great!...

SANS 8


Thus journeys extrapolate need
In the frontiers of buoyant ignorance
Where plain common sense
Is not even now a valid algorithm
In this paradoxical strangeness 
There abides a sudden shifting posture
Or vain exuberance in careless sojourns
Beyond artistry and sensible fantasy

Heal My Wounds.

Heal my wounds and sooth my pains
Say a word of hope, you are known to breath
Poured down upon these whole world
Fresh as the rains, your mercies
For our growth towards the pyramids tip
As we longed to see the ultimate
Where our dreams laid un-foretold
From this heat of our sojourns
Heal our wounds and sooth our pains
When we finally arrive, where we belong.

Gratitude 




Perpetual fragrance of life sojourns in air,
As golden glitz of sun swigs despair;

Nature endows its riches on us to cherish,
His boundless bounties will never perish;

A tranquil soul that plucks strings of kindness,
will relinquish soreness of brutish heartless;

Let magnificent aurora of dawn unfold,
and emotions of gratitude rise manifold.

A vage blush;
her bloom sojourns
within its female purse,
yet this bright morn
Adam is rampant,
his stamen a brazen phallus.
A raindrop alchemy,
charms and countercharms.
Genders gather together
as one blossom on a single stem.
By evening, Eve will return
to fold moist lips
around her twilit womb.
Adam will sleep
at ease in his dreaming sap.
A floral erotica
has climaxed to silence.
Ying and Yang
have rung their temple bell....

A JUMP FOR BLESSING

Once you are near I want to be nearer to you, Blessed
I wish not to go back to my roots, that far
Evils I departed from and shall quest not
Love

Only when your mercies grant me 
Not in bits but full to fulfill me
Enough to last me through the sojourns
To you my Lordship in Heaven above  

Lay me a bed of roses to call my sleep
Where you promise ages ago from the beginning
Bless me now
As I jump to reach you, Blessed

Love...

A brook cascades daintily extant
~ flowing gayly heart’s incited joy
Meandering, nestles on Peace
~ quivering restraints strain ‘n squirm 
Breaking-bank, careens downwards
~ extols faith’s grim heart-bomb
Undulating, veering waves extrapolate 
~ Yonder’s zooming blue-adieu
Sojourns, so-longs, traversing under veils
~ weathering wry extremes
Heart’s incessant journey keels love’s mainland
~ new opaque's reach...

i’ve seen among the shadows
in the corner of my eye
a foreboding melancholy
ever present pure and nigh

upon forseen inception
came the beast without respect
laying claim to all emotions
pouring darkness down my neck

clouds of memories will float
inside of distraught dreams
allaying but for precious breaths
the pain of tortured screams

a prayer for those who suffer hell
from loss of man or wife
for these poor souls bear misfortunes
taxing sojourns throughout life...

Watch as lissom snowflakes rappel the air,
                                   From afar alike yet never the same,
                                On sojourns quiet or with much fanfare,
                             A passage lonesome or lit with love’s flame.
                     Lasting place ‘tween clouds and plains none can claim,
                            From the sky they came of low or high birth,
                                  In a heartbeat to melt into the earth....

To know, to understand, receive:
    wise dealings, righteous equity.

To share and know what to impart:
    to youth; the simple; progeny.

To parse, extract, discern shared words;
    to sift the wheat, the chaff release.

The one, once guided, ever guides,
    And thus does wisdom sure increase.

To start the journey, one must fear
    the Lord, his portion, and his lot.

And so He sojourns with the wise,
    but fools despise, receive Him not.

(musings on Proverbs 1)...
