‘Tis said a womanizer
Is but a tantalizer
With inherent charm,
And fertile propensity
Fashions all his way,
With amplitude
That awakens a desire
In women he’ll prey,
Having thus pursued
He’ll kindle a belief,
With the altruism
A Lothario kneads,
Resistor finds to plead,
Assured he’s the prize
Women can but idolize!
An anxious look
Tells of imploring
Trepid lips,
To mouth a word
Hopefully wise,
That might incite
A telling guise,
Pending courage
Of a smile,
To replace
A look too shy,
That so deprives
A parallel,
To entreating eyes!
Impressions
Of fabrication
Aim find a way,
To so impress
Such guileless prey,
That will in time
With pitiable deception
Turn matters gray…
Though furtive cover
May enthuse,
One suffers risk
Of callous ruse,
Thus be impressions
Not for the injudicious!
Interventionism
Oversteps
Into plagiarism
Of ideas, words,
And intentions,
By imperious
Machiavellians,
Who offer rhetoric
So concocted
Meant to veil
Intervention,
While abetting
Perpetrators
To appear
As do-gooders!
The life we lust
Soon has less flare
Than when it burst
From every pore
With forceful thrust,
Held be forever
Until such time
We’re made aware,
Utopia shan’t survive
Man’s ceaseless thirst,
Much beyond peel
We witnessed first,
Thus so until life’s feel
Time means abate!
Hiding in mendacity
Execrably decries
An exiguous attempt
To brush aside,
The stifled feeling
Of admitted guilt
One tries to hide,
Wherein so lies
A suffered shame
From such invention
One chose abide!
With any season
Whatever changes
Fits the reason,
For nature’s purpose
Be renewal,
Thus so to celebrate
Its cycle of survival,
And so dictates
That we endure,
What time subjects
To its life’s actors
And thus so live
To suffer the decrees
Of nature’s fate
Should we survive
A change of season!
Time images
Scenes of life
That stills
My feelings,
And textures
What I’ve lived
That I might know
To savour,
The meagre harvest
Yet worth living,
In a world
That may well die
Before I access
What remains,
Composed thus so
In a still life
Tho of some worth,
Too soon be mine!
