quietus
Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light (Micah 7:8).
compass thou my soul
rid me of all earthly snares
i shall rise again

transitory blooms
clambering for tangence
sphere squaring sphere
bulb climbing bulb
short, sweet sojourn
to climax
in spent ecstasy

esurient orbs
clambering for eloquence
square pairing square
swelling to exclusion
by ultimate explosion
in ethospheric suspension

Goof Delight
I
Princely bird,
Have you heard
Of the noose tonight?
Chanticleer,
Roasted rare,
Will be Goof Delight
II
On the plate
Of the late
Mayor Raphael,
For his wife,
With her knife
Has a feast to sell
III
At the house
Where her spouse
Did his mayoring.
Every bowl
Shall be foul
With your flavouring!
IV
Get thee hence
Past the fence
To my cozy lair,
For the cleft
Of the chef
Cannot carve you here.
V
So the cock
Had a shock, ...

imperfect days
i promise not to say i love you
just on special days
nor drench you with calendar oohs
and artificial sways
a bubble bath of passionance
drips fickle as the winds
of time. the whims of circumstance
are vapour to the mind
let christmastime and eastertime and
sultry valentine
retire from my passion band
let not the sanguine
st patrick’s day, thanksgiving day
emancipation time
or labour day or solstice sway
deprive me of my rhyme
i pledge you high esteem on lonely
dark,...

LOVE POEM

14th Feb 2019 8:14pm
To That Majestic Mountain
Verisimilitude pampers my spirit, where
Arbitrary and casual advances
Leave me winded of all patience.
Ephemeral glances of romances
Never turn my head, save in disgust,
To see rosy lips and cheeks wasted by
Infernal hopes that perish
Neath the burdens of
Eternal devotion. Naught but
‘Salvific faith shall lead us,
Day and night, to that majestic mountain, where
All earth’s fears shall die and every
Yearning for contentment find perpetual repose.

I
if i were a bird
i’d perch on a tree
and make a grand prix
of berry-ripe curds
II
if i were a boat
i’d furrow the seas
and dance on the breeze
like ribbons afloat
III
if i were a star
i’d kiss a dark night
where there is no light
i’d kindle a fire
IV
if you were a storm
and i were a bird
with feathers bestirred
would you do me harm

EROTIC POEM

unsPEAKable
hovering on the verge
where little deaths
by spasmodic surge
steal every breath
of unspeakable lexis
lost in shady annexes
libidinous lexicon
drinks her blissful denouement
where onus
labours not by sight
yet harvests
saccharine delights
let me limply guess:
you’re a poetess!
