Contagious Statesman

Too young to leap 
Too old to dream 
He bears nobody to ponder 
But musters a blissful insight 
A freelance in a broad daylight 
Though, faceless when Emerged 
Chanting hilariously at people who stared 
Even though time has weared away his pride 
You seldom hear him cry 
With head buried in the sky; he lingers on 
carrying ample of unquestionable cruds 
And when he smiles, he raised his noxious lips slantly 
Revealing the cynically coloured teeth to 
his scurring espionage 
Nevertheless getting glibs from retinue of seeming retards 
All around the suburbs

Yesterday's Frenzy

Yesterday's Frenzy

Caught in the sunny solitude 
While on the coastal beach of lauretol 
You were the enchanted princess 
And i was innocent 
Blushing in your frisson 
Basking in the magical tent of the sunlight 
Gazing at your Extremities 
strolling past the succulence; yet you found me faultless 
Before i dauted my pride 
Memories of the crispy breeze made a scene of your 
sinuos hair 
But justice stood afar 
As i prooved it, sliding through the Ocean tide 
Melting away at night on your horrizon 
Which caresses the stars in the sky 
I persisted, forgetting the weirds 
and wearies of our time

Instinctive Distinction

This is the right time for poetry 
This is a young man with a pen 
This is the outskirt of fellony 
It is a world of trend 

This isn't what you earned 
This isn't what you pend 
This isn't what you learned 
it is a blend 

More like the raining days 
Under the pillars 
More like the spectacles 
In the cinemas 

When the winds blow North 
And the South steared 
When the the East pretend 
Can the wise tell? 

If you missed my birthday 
You can guess my age 
But if you missed my poetry 
You are not my friend
