I open the blinds to bright shine to clear the rust in my veins and the keratin in my nails Even heat can be chilling when the will is not willing So, I’ll throw the shadows out, the shadows of doubt Being what I want to be is determined clear-sighted me I may cross swords Continue reading “Open the blinds, the choice is mine: A poem “

A warning to the one I love: A poem
All these lifetimes in humility’s umbrage This composure, even as evil got coverage And this lifetime, where history repeats Its deep cuts on my armoured skin and feet I am supple and endless, resilient and fearless My foundations are underpinned by strength peerless I have counted each particle of the infinite universe in this wait,Continue reading “A warning to the one I love: A poem “
An open book for you: A poem
I try to be an open, undisguised book For you to turn pages and take a look Naked I walk, an animal in sunshine Adam didn’t cover himself when he was sublime The crosses I carry I drop at your feet The woodchips to pick at like sheafs of wheat You know now that IContinue reading “An open book for you: A poem “
Kamala Harris in Paris: A poem
Can you imagine Kamala Harris in Paris? She will the entire US embarrass She has no brains; a puppet on chains Much to astute folks’ disdain A conclusion foregone that Don is gone Wickedness always plays an immaculate con It doesn’t matter which side you’re on Evil always has a habit of sealing your dawn Continue reading “Kamala Harris in Paris: A poem “
This democracy: A poem
O this world is black as peat! Black and gory, no glory at our feet I may ask you and then repeat Has every child got to eat? Has every nation got its justice? Every bricklayer, teacher and artist? Whose music plays connivance’s pianist? This history has an all too uncanny twist The sage isContinue reading “This democracy: A poem “
A bright day, a twinkling night: A poem
If brightness kissed my face, the most colourful flowers would laze in my humble soul’s vase I can smell the aroma of the wind as it skirts from the horizon’s wings And the hinges of laughter’s window sing I take the river to the sea If salt were honey to the bee, sadness would beContinue reading “A bright day, a twinkling night: A poem “
The numbers: A poem
The numbers make you as numb as a shewn log GDP and inflation figures are like peat in the bog Does the old man with the walking stick seem to know that the economy is being eaten up by welfare’s core? The recession is also a recession of law and morals Crime is making itContinue reading “The numbers: A poem “
Love to you, dearest Dad: A poem
These golden showers of memories sitting like rainbows among my trees I feel their silk, liquid-solid mercury floating in my cup, their dew is my tea I run those images on my mind’s screen Those were the last days of my teens We can only cherish what has been And relive the solidity of whatContinue reading “Love to you, dearest Dad: A poem “
Why I am not Christian: A poem
Those whispered prayers all through childhood schooled in vocal pulpits between pew wood Yet I have voiced my doubts, but retained my original baptismal Christian name Have I forgone exoneration? Am I sin? Yet, my doubts become the din of conviction Is there a cross when disbelief is faith? Can salvation be a prejudice atContinue reading “Why I am not Christian: A poem “
Black and white: A poem
There is no colour like black and white It is always grey, even on a pitch-dark night They are searching for bosons and quarks And God’s elusive particle, the initial spark Though Darwin has us all under his arm But palpably still, God holds his charm Yet, there’s fury out of belief and not calm Continue reading “Black and white: A poem “
