Short Unflawed Poems

She likes flowers. She likes galleries and art.  She likes bookstores and museums, and walks in the park.  She’s enticingly odd, her countenance unflawed, I’m ooohed and I’m awed.  I gotta tell ya – she is one cool broad....

Planets in orbit
Some big and some small
Beings from outer space
Some named, others not
Discoveries made

Orbital spin
Masterfully
Perfect timing
In retrograde

Planets sway
Comets fall
Earth rotate

Unflawed
Refined

She opened her gifts on Christmas morn
Beneath the paper, a gift she’d scorn
Lacey Panties unflawed
She thought, "what a tightwad!"
Panties in a wad since they’d been worn!

VOID


In awed silence it’s the end of  today
Unflawed  blue void arching but holed
Where the last dregs of day are drained away
Through  countless  points  in the cold 

Pale blue faster and faster drains
Its life into dark blue,  then to black 
Until finally nothing but black remains
The remains of a day which cannot come back...

Risky unflawed breathing flawed by your touch,
you hit like an endless electric shock;
I try to evade not hang on too much,
each exit I am met with a roadblock;
Feet in the air a game of double dutch 
my pulse in my throat with all the sweet talk;
Suddenly I fall your hands land on me;
Smiling heart spills on the floor clumsily....

My heart silently prayed to God 
To turn me into a pink pearl unflawed
So when he comes in his perfect boat
He’d pick me up and lay me in his coat
And put me on a fine gold ring
And let me on his finger cling
He would then feel pride when all would say
How pretty his pearl shines this day
So small, so smooth, so full of love
So lonely lying in this golden cove

my being my existence
in a world that is flawed
my business my acceptance
to a merciful god
my voice my face
my poetry my weight
my sickness my fate
my memories my treasury of the past
all those relations that did'nt last
my family above and below
my friends and my soul
my woman which woman
is she alive or dead
yes i have a being 
when i'm finished being alive
a metaphysical being
in a world unflawed
my heaven my acceptance 
from a merciful God...

Was busy 
carving out the white clouds
like stanzas, unflawed.
Now I begin to fall apart.

No meaning was left in a drink.
You could see only your image
drowning in a scented charity.
At last I am watching myself.

Black paper. The ink was white.
Speechless. No body language.
Only you will discover the space
between the unspoken words.

Only buttons know the hollowness 
of a floating gun. Meeting you in
an empty glass. Future will always
talk of a setting sun.

Mary Teresa from remote Albania all the way
came as a young girl to India to permanently stay.
By chosen profession a passionate teacher unflawed,
destiny drove her to become a benign missionary of God.

Home she brought the sick and the destitute,
who got new lives under her divine care absolute.
For human service her kind heart did whatever it could
as Mother Teresa before entering the sanctum of sainthood.

Such loving eyes, from here I see
With pouting lips, a crimson red
Her look to me, sets my heart free
To love her now on midnight’s bed
She holds the pow’r within her grasp
A strength, innate, she does not know
But yet, her love, she makes it last
Until the light, the sunrise show
The beacon then highlights her face
More lovely than I truly saw
My fear, that one day she replace
Me with another so unflawed

For now, I’ll hold her so possessed
As here and now I am so blessed...

And who is God, who made heaven and Earth? (10)
Is he, a she, or a god (7)
Designed, from them above, that spoke, of love? (10)
To whom man gives revered laud (7)
Universe, accelerating, decants (10) 
Physics, calculus, unflawed (7)
The answers to questions, obscure, yet close (10)
Searching for solutions, fraud (7)
Tongues lie, protecting, the godhead of Ra (10)
