Listening

       – be not hearing –

Listening

       – be not hearing –       

One may hear words
He’d want find bold,
Be bordering absurd 
Decries nervous soul, 
Fortuitously blurred 
Of insignificant dole,
Be il facilely heeding
For a fit tenuous droll,
Appear as not hearing
Will have taken its toll,
Despite ye be listening
To words fits not whole... 

Sets thy thoughts pacific
That of tranquil insisting,
Tho find lack of specific
Thus, focus but on living,
As constant ethnographic
Finds carry on persisting,
So pass on bent spasmodic
For listening be not hearing!

		Ode to thinking man...

Writing – need there be reason –

 

Why do you write

Asked unabashed,

As tho an answer

Other than need,

May even succeed

In shedding light…                  

 

Forces be real

I heard my reply,

Helps  touch why

Tho ne’er quite sure

My words truly fly…

 

What do you write           

She offers in spite,

My hazy taunts

Not meant be trite,

I scribble of time

That shadows mine,

To divert attention

If lot whispers of death…

 

Fate may deny

Time I have left,

So while I’ve breath

And feelings to best,

I’ll write with my soul 

Thus wants life bold,

Without reason or why

For as long as I’ll get!

“ A String Of Words ” ~ to fashion verse ~

 

A string of words

Lucidly engaging,

That resonate accord,

Would that one hears

Such harmony,

Be worthy of recall…

 

Words not taxing,

But of a matter

As to epitomize

A stimulant,

Poised to seed

A notion’s need,

To fashion verse

Laudably such,

Scopes lyrical touch…

 

Hence so I seek

That elusive utter,

Would thus entreat

The gods of verve,

Grant impetus

To impart the skill

That colours prose,

For a string of words

Wouldst thus compose,

A fit poetic propose!
