the cold-soaked feet under socks

Will not my Mind,
this thought

Death is inevitable, it must come;
A child, young or old, it spares none.

A very short span of time, we are allotted,
Wherefore defile it with grudges and hatred....

O Tony, wherefore dost thou feel out of sorts?
Existing so - tho' not soothly living.
Haps thou art the living dead which resorts
Into its cold chamber ne'er living....

Listen to poem:

Tis all

wiffle waffle, willy wobble 
quiver and dither

which whatever, wherefore wobble

Tis all a dithery tizz...

Breeze-swept lawns
  leaves whisked upward
whirling once again only
  to flutter lazily to the earth

Early November
  tree limbs suddenly bare
Wherefore the rush
  gentle the wind yet...

Another year's passed
In the blink of an eye
  Time to take stock
  Once more to ask
What, When and Why

What have I accomplished?
When will I do more?
Why have I delayed?
  ~ Wherefore?...

Maria, oh Maria, wherefore art thou
Be sworn my love, my passion sores(?) like a swallow
Very poetic eh?
Amazing you say?
Received the OBE, sent is back coz in awards I wallow...

You, the one riding the wind like the Orion belt watching from afar
Anticipating, watching in silence
Nonetheless, still I ask: Wherefore art thou? Sending thy storm hither
Nibbling this flustered heart away....

golden bee humming
lost in foliage jade green
where are the flowers

have you flown too far
long miles from the honeycomb
wherefore did you roam

you will find your way
back to the fields of colors
beyond deep green woods...

A placid dose abducts barren perceptions,
wherefore virtue departs in the nakedness
stretch passionately, dawning motivations,
transcendent intrinsic structuring success.
Epic fuse a star--at sea--sunk translations....

Romeo and Juliet
Ill fated lovers it's true
Ah but what I wouldn't
To have a love I'd die for
Romeo Romeo 
Wherefore art thou

Romeo and Juliet
They were doomed 
Before they met
Ah but who can forget
The love they died for
Romeo Romeo
Wherefore art thou...

Wearing His complete armour*
Evil withstanding.

tiptoe 
      tiptoe 
drifting
    upon a 
            cloud 
tiptoe 
       tiptoe 
dreaming 
   on the why's
      and wherefore
floating
     away
tiptoe
    tip toeing  
far , far 
          away
for ever
    and a day

I'm not alive, 
but indeed I grow
even more yet 
as I'm fed.

I have not lungs, 
but must have air
and space 
for my outspread.

No mouth have I 
wherefore to lie, 
but I'd consume lives
with my power.

If it's me that you
would strive to subdue,
give me a cold drink 
and a shower....

Wherefore art thou Cheeseburger
My stomach yearns for your greasiness
Melted cheese placed carefully onto a patty
Goodness from heaven. Oh so tasty.

The soft bread that caresses the meat
A perfect burger just waiting for me
Bliss surrounds me in a warm light
Loving every second i take another bite....

Do not now weep for me,
My rivers run clear,
Sangfroid creeps over sea,
No storm shall I fear.
 
Wherefore art thou, my love?
Trees of oak lie bare,
Naked with me, above,
Out of earthly glare.
 
Armour gathering dust,
No mortal concern,
Quarrels left out to rust,
I, of soul, return.

no why or wherefore
     try again..
     life..
     a process
so brief
         to the point-
time
          is restless,
dissipates
          as we look
elsewhere-
            a series
of happenings
     circumstances,
intervals-
          so singular..
moves as sand
on a never ending
tide...

Like a blossoming flower
I yield to the sun;
While listening to the rays of
Light fill each pore.
Never asking why,
Never asking when,
Never asking wherefore
Go I?
With bounteous profusions of beauty
That call upon the
Time of no-time--
No beginning, no end--
The poem becomes itself,
Completely itself.
Amen....
