Short Unperceived Poems

Morons and liars,
all facts to mislead

Their wool to disguise
—the truth unperceived

Hollow tin-cup chess pieces 
tethered to fate are we
manipulated by forces
   unperceived
landing abruptly in
   alien territories
naïve suppositions
   blown to bits 
on the wreckage of empires...

Night creature
Forsaken
Slithering
Unperceived
Charging through
Machinelike
Stealth engine
Frozen breath
Smoldering
Steely eyes
Dark life form
Growing near
Fire spitting
Dragon breath
Snuffling prey

In my mind, God was but an elusive dream
Unperceived, invisible yet omnipresent
A favourite tale with a feel-good theme
Spread by religion through fear and prayer
I gave little credence to the thought of his existence
Till I found faith after years of denial
In human beings do I seek him
For serving man is serving God

No time for thinking,
Or for any blinking.
Life moves rapidly,
increasing steadily.

It runs by time itself,
No more do you recognize yourself.
Wrinkles and gray hair,
a body with tears and wear.

The thief runs by unperceived,
leaving the naked eyed deceived.
But the body does know,
And the truth of time it shows....

A poem is not an effort by a tight-lipped genius
Gripped by the setting failure's fears,
Or the penning of those furious about defeat,
Who are not under the grip of it;
It's the flower of a gracious soul unseen,
An idyllic utopia that has never been; 
The splendor of a life unperceived,
And the thought of faiths unbelieved!...

(Dedicated to Sniffers.)

We are All animals, humans too
every One of us, me and you

God breathed life into Adam and Eve,
into each creature. Atoms unperceived

The animal kingdom is the Kingdom of God:
A harmony without heirarchy, below and above

All dogs go to heaven because all of us do,
every Soul returns to the Creator anew...

A blue so blue appeared in the sky
  purer than the blue of a maiden's eye
Poking a hole through puff-clouds billowy white
  its majesty moving those who prize sight

I wonder if it knows, as I marvel in awe
  at its beauty so rare, no unperceived flaw
Or is its struggle to emerge so all-consuming
  naivete yet untarnished ~ pristine, unassuming...

Silence covers all with bold embrace
Her hands and fingers dance with lissom grace

At mesmerising patterns flowing sport
Tumult begins to fade from conscious thought

Bringing a taste of peaceful solitude
That often in our hectic lives eludes

Although the world of noise goes unperceived
The loss has never given cause for grief

With joyful heart embracing life to full
All other senses deafness over-rule...

An act of kindness unperceived 
Love freely offered not received 
A thoughtful deed offered to ease 
Pain of words from those who tease 
A kindly gesture from a friend 
Advice and help from those who’ll lend 
A means and chance to help me mend 
And lift me up least I descend 
when all was said I’d hoped you’d sway 
And not dismiss these words away 
At last we finally both agree 
That I love you 
And you don’t love me 

From the book:  Absorbed By The Sun...

The deep unfathomed solitude
of peaceful still tranquility
abounds within the sounds
of unperceived connectivity.

Calm beneath the waves
in a bliss of total ecstasy
and lost within the joy
of a moment in eternity.

Here any simple thought
creates a world of reality
which fades beneath the surface
of the lake we call insanity.

Swirling with our hopes and dreams
a maelstrom that's illusory
within the still enchanted figure
of a lone and single entity....
