Somehow, somewhere
Someone’s dreams are pulverised
The suckling robbed of toothless smiles
Molested and badly brutalised
A pool of anguish in their eyes
So why do we howl about minor glitches
When a wound somewhere is too wide for stitches?
.
Somewhere, somehow
someone’s taking a last gulp of life
Misery vacuums an unborn, despised
Family planning mishaps, surmised
As tympanum echo with muted replies
So why do we pine over the price of oil
When a soul somewhere won’t even go a mile?
.
Somehow, somewhere
someone’s plunging to their demise
A livelihood ransacked by lies
Hearts ripped and discarded like old auto parts
Taste buds drool with bittersweet retorts
So why do we mope over an ingrate who left
When a home somewhere is ravaged by distress?
.
Somewhere, somehow, someone needs our help
So why should we become so obsessed with self?
Arioso
Jabbing at the tattered page, frustrated at my lot
How the camaraderie once was tight
but now the beauty is forgot
and I assess my plight
Whoa, I assess my plight
Hissing at the circumstance, calculating loss
Of fragile poesies that would fade
as blotch of ink swept across
the memories we made
Aye, the memories we made
Sighing at dashing hopes, duty now has won
Obliged that we must sever ties
in homage to the beloved one
And I muffle my cries
Yea, I muffle my cries
Arioso
Resistance is futile
But she’s quite content
To be lured
and moored
by the brawn of tender-loving arms
Oh, to be espoused by his princely charm
Red-orange flames burn
From fervour in their hearts
With eyes closed
their smiles froze
Pores erect upon satin sun-kissed skin
as they revel in the melody of a cardiac din
Wine-tasting spree
As filled crystals clink
and raise
to praise
the powers that fused their will and voice
Then lips sync to relish their starter of choice
The true feast impends
When two lie in brazen ministry
To tease
and please
the appetence aroused with mutual stare
Now that they’re bound by striking solitaire
Arioso
Trickle, trickle down the pane
Somber nimbus weeping rain
Potent hypnosis as driblets sweep
Now there’s no need `to tally sheep
.
Fickle, fickle eyelids flutter
Muddy streams rush to the gutter
Scenes fill wells behind closed eyes
As bleak disperse in star-less skies
.
Fluent therapy lulling me
And I drift off to a virtual sea
Soon the thunderous fit subsides
Into unruffled dreams of evening tides
Arioso
Lighthearted petals, unfolding wide
Reveal filaments of innocent pride
While delicate fragrances sing
Smiles now bloom in Spring
.
The grace that falls from poufs of love
Makes stigma rear their heads above
To lavish praise and laud the King
For smiles now bloom in Spring
.
The gardener’s expert fingers
Apply quickening touch that lingers
Then extend his signet ring
That gleams as smiles that bloom in Spring
Arioso

Verdure is restored
As love potion flows from sky
Tulips pucker up
****
Spring is in fanfare
Birds and trees are out at play
Children pout, indoors
*****
Rain pummel windows
Spring’s bully assaults the night
Bolts rip bleeding sky
****
Rafting down the stream
Still waters mirror sunlight
Therapy for miles
****
Summer seas invite
Tourists bask in paradise
Natives scoot for shade
****
Seasons come and go
Plants and animals know well
Mankind – still in awe
****
Limbs strip their raiment
Streets lay eager to receive
Winds are scandalous
Arioso
If I could reach into the heavens to anchor the sun
Or go to the poles of the globe, I would run
To paint you a rainbow and sop up the rain
If it meant that I could efface all your pain
.
If I could walk on the ocean or withhold the mist
Or subdue storms and seize the wind in my fist
Then release it again when you can’t find the shade
If it meant that provisions for joy would be made
.
If I could descend into the heart of the earth
And conquer the grave for all the hell that it’s worth
I’d give you forever sealed with a kiss
If it meant that we’d both have perpetual bliss
.
But since I can’t do any of these things, I just wish
That giggles and glee will still brim your dish
When your table is set, you will bask in it all
And I’ll always be here for you when you call
Arioso

She licked the brine from her lips
As she spilt the pain of her ordeal
Billows rolled in fury and empathy
As she held a gaze the numb could feel
~
She had been a rock since birth
But the ocean lapped against the edges
Until defenses crumbled slowly
Into sediments of self bound pledges
~
Currents of the mighty seas conglomerate
Sweeping o’er a path of retaliation
A thirsty barren soul inundated
In a refreshing mix of amity and elation
~
Brilliant blue waves rolled that fateful day
But with a sense of certainty
That she would gaze into his eyes
From then until eternity

Tranquility in tandem with my thoughts
As I waft into a realm unknown
Where a life convict assumes release
And a plebeian may don a crown
–
Gravity’s hold is feeble there
Flesh and spirit are much the same
A soul gallivants just anywhere
And no one even needs a plane
–
Things that life would never grant
Now a guerdon making views expand
So the undiscerning clearly sees
The Deity crafting life, firsthand
–
That realm in REM will always be
Concocting salve for tear-less eyes
And blistered aching nomads’ feet
Find solace till they greet sunrise
