Eglantine

Sweetbrier they call it
flower of poetry
a wild Rose given hefty status
in Victorian floriography

What would it have meant
to make an arrangement with eglantine in it
then send it to a loved one?
Giving the flower that represents poetry
Instead of writing a poem itself

Maybe eglantine is for those
not so clever with words
or just too shy

After a long time comes a Happy Dream and Death

Dream But Not Of Death
Dying and Dreaming both have a D common

Never think of dying
we all know
we all will die one day
we came with a return ticket
not only one way

So dream and enjoy
I have been dying too
since ages past
yet I am alive in front of you
as in many decades
lives parts of me

Read my Sunset Poetry
Dying is a small part
we all have come to go

THE FLYING MR P.[President]

Every now and then he jets off
sometimes for a mere cough
he flies for the 'interest' of the nation
this we watch in hunger on television
since inception into office
he jets abroad without notice.

The puzzling part is this
he gains nothing from his trips
despite spending tax payers money
isn't that funny?
He lashed at former Mr P
of squandering every dime and pin.

Red Wagon (OCTOBER CONTEST)

Rolling along
In my little red wagon
Leaves crunching beneath the wheels

The smell of autumn
Wraps around me
In all its splendor

A cool wind blows
Beneath my hood
As I watch the decorations appear

Pumpkins, witches and ghouls
Floating from neighbor's porches
Anticipating candied delight

Childhood memories
Such a long time ago
Brings a tear to my eye

What I wouldn't give
To be that kid
Rolling along in my little red wagon again

warning

.
time flies

like an arrow

fruit flies

like things sweet.

smoking clogs

your arteries

and may well burn

your feet..

DEATH YOU WILL DIE

Death where is your license?
Who grants you that permission?
Nature, No.
But who?

Those dude’s I Know,
Shadow’s of memory,
Beneath your glutton end,
I sobbed with the moon and the sun,
I know one day you’ll burn.

Mama close the damp,
In your heart.
This festival of tears you must bind,
and let justice stretch her hands.

Death you are guilty,
like grains of sands their soul arises,
pointing fingers on you.
Even though plead guilty,
Who will be your lawyer?

infatuation

Infatuation

Oh I wasn't good in physics
Always sucked at knowing lyrics
Been told to follow critics
All I wanted was some kisses
You made a lot of promises
All of them you never kept

My love melted as chocolate
You'd set time and be late
Always wonder if we on a date
It was more like waiting for fate
When you did everything I hate
Left me torn I couldn't open the gate
Mama told me to reject love

Cri de Coeur

Running as rivers
Soft as gleam
Maybe liquid
Maybe steel
Yet with a noble cause
No other way
Sign of strength
Seeking for will
Might be a boubou of regrets
Might be a call for what the soul rejects
Taciturn or a screech
All that matters is what the soul rejects
Might be against humanity’s law
But please make it raw
Void of emotions or flaming as hell
It all matters if it’s going to be recoil
Or proceeding exploits.

Never Giving Up

 Giving up is not an option.

you've come too far to yield,

always be in motion,

ward off all depressions with a shield

life isn't for the indolence,

so, fend off all challenges and turbulence.

 

.Sometimes we just want to let go,

seems life is always not fair,

despite fake facade and public show,

we groan secretly in despair,

you aren't going nowhere going backwards,

'cos the way forward is forward.

 

In my few decades on earth,

I have seen that nothing lasts,

Spiral

As my emotions blow past me
I face them as they come
Confusion, sadness, anger
They hit me one by one

Overwhelmed, I cannot stop
This unholy barrage
Bruised by gas lighting
Torn apart from love

Screaming through the spiral
Past rage and exhaustion,
Grasping for empathy
Slamming into the earth

Face down, blood pouring
From my soul outward
I pick myself up, dusting off the hate
Beginning the long climb upward
