Short Unburied Poems

An unburied chest
With a map inside that says
Work for your treasure...

She sure was scary
  He was quite married
  Could each be both
    ~ And stay unburied...

Clownish yaw engines
Spin us about
The blue sphere we inhabit
Its future in doubt

Our cumulus cloud shroud
Conceals the pain
Of tanks, missiles and pogroms
And unburied slain...

Winter,
buried feelings
—frozen in time

Spring,
buried promises
—soon to be mine

Summer,
unburied love
—all days then sublime

Fall,
buried alive
—in unbroken rhyme 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

I'm the treasure that will never 
be unburied, I'm just wasting 
away waiting for you to dig me
up, You've probably passed me
by a hundred times not knowing
I might have everything to offer
I guess my shine has faded in the
past 25 years, I'm just that treasure
lost to never be found...

leaving the stench
 of extinguished species
across scorched dirt
beastly commercialism’s
love of the green lining pockets
born from tomorrow may never come
prompts consummation of resources
and  without manners of a cat
 leaves unburied their
poop and piss of pollution
 gagging every earthly creature...

tsunami commands 
mother earth to tremble --
demons unburied

blue skies of water 
pour out devastation --
crashing tears thunder

thunderous booms of
explosions in aftermath --   
resilience conquers

Rolling golden green hills
of northern Kalifornia.
Happy cows play on swings,
happy goats and sheep too.
Makes for happy milk, happy cheese,

So they Say.....

Blonde like Strawberry,
Thru the eyes of the father,
from the lips of the mother,
Welcome to a new day.
Like cool rain in Summer,
Like unburied Treasure.
The adventure of a Life (time).

May we grow you straight...

All your problems left unsolved
just like the dead unburied
even though you knew it wrong
you dint bother to worrie

I know you act so immature 
to hide the fact your insecure
the demons are still out to get you
denial can not protect you

The drugs are tightening around your throat
you cant pretend they numb the soars
ill be hear to help you cope
because all we've really got is hope...

Beneath the graffiti littered by the years
and the fatigue signed by a thousand cares
Through the scratchings of so many tears
that were summoned or caught you unawares
Under the mottles by done days quarried   
and the shadows writ by a jealous sun  
where disappointments linger unburied  
and age is making its relentless run

My tired eyes can still trace your first face 
by the thievery of time irreducible...

Wake up, Silence,
War has plucked away his eyelids.
Blade and shield
Have become limb and dust,
We all bathe 
In death's lust
For maiden blood.

Wake up,Silence,
Rain has unburied 
The skull of Fear.
The sun has shunned
The love of summer,
Gravel has swallowed wheel
And man has walked
Into sea.

Wake up,Silence,
Lava has smothered island.
Night has darkened our breath
And fire has watered our bloom
Till poison to the hand....

While volcanoes rehearse to show their teeth
lovers shouting from the well of the house
wave broken condoms rather than broken trust

conflate dissent on self-erasing slates
and prove worse than the old oxen 
long following circuitous ways

billowing opposition, discalced defenders

they all assert superior dishonesty
sell cheap what is most dear or make
offences of new affections

I carry the tomb of unburied days


--R K Singh...
