Short Unconvinced Poems

Sighs
The fresh chill
Of November morn
The stare of icy eyes
While the sun is born
Fetal innocence
Unaware, the Fall demise
Young oak unconvinced
Not older braver trees.
Blow north wind
Unfettered
Against the shallow charms
And golden warmth, deterred
By fragile youth's alarms....

I'm almost disappointed
when
the pot of tea is
off the stove.

I forgot
her.

She stands next to me,
unconvinced.

I step aside
and let her
weep and wail.

She's here
for a few more days
and I will
figure this out.

She was sick
for years.

Little rose incense leaves me in awe.
I adore the scent of my mother’s dishes
How I wish to delight the endearment of those near me!
I yearned not for favor but love
In anguish I stand displease, mutter fret!

Wondering how a man grew weary in woe.
I adore the valorous act of my father
How I wish to ravish the endearment of those dear to me!
I craved not patronage but love
In torment I live unconvinced, Ruth prevail!...

With angelic eyes, She was uttering love
While slowly turning those soft words
of an apparently innocent naïve poem
Into an immortal allegory of beauty….

And the reluctant protagonist of the story
Was measuring those words, neutrally
While sitting there , unconvinced.
Now a days it’s hard to decipher love.

Those mystical words of an eternal exaggeration!
Oh! Those balloons of enchanting floating words!
Sailing up, up and away!...

dazed days 
in the e-jungle
of this wide, wired world
tell him this is not 
the place to look for 
what matters,
what's worthy;

unconvinced, 
he stares, takes 
a look at what to him 
might turn out to be 
a significant  unknown
about what  seems 
and what  is;

for there is 
an inexplainable side 
of what has been explained 
that deserves a lifetime 
of hard-headed searching
by the restless, explaining, 
inexplicable mind !...
