Though my mother was already two years dead
Dad kept her slippers warming by the gas,
put hot water bottles her side of the bed
and still went to renew her transport pass.

Watch out for power,
for its avalanche can bury you,
snow, snow, snow, smothering your mountain.
...
Can justice be delayed under any circumstances?
Numerous cases can be sighted for instances
Can that not be amounted as justice denied?
Well, conscious should always bite if it is laid
...
Again I am raging,
I am in such a state by your soul that every
bond you bind, I break, by your soul.
...
Speak of Love and hearts afire soft unlayered mysteries
Bewitching captured enraptured, joyous or tortured souls
On the path one takes in every life since guiless Eve
seduced trusting Adam and lost innocence was replaced
...
Looking through a window
where time had stopped
I see my mother calling
...
Melancholy breakfast
blue overhead blue underneath
the silent egg thinks
...
Dear, come,
Come to the poems,
Come and live with poems,
Live, and live in the kingdom of poems,
...
One fine night, in the middle of the day,
two atheists knelt down to pray.
Hymn books opened upside-down,
in Top Hat n Tails, and their dressing gown.
...
Petulant priests, greedy
centurions, and one million
incensed gestures stand
between your love and me.
...
I want to sing a song
Path is difficult and very long
How to praise you in words?
Guide and lead me O, lord
...
Little thought itself disturbs the mind
Thoughts of leaving dear ones or something of that kind
Shakes whole body in disbelief and remain perturbed
What would be the fate? Condition so disturbed
...
Birth is not from sin
Birth is from the best love;
from the faithful love of two biological soul;
From the gushing liquid I'm; as if an aquatic animal
...
I heard some foot steps with knock
it was midnight as sounded the clock
I saw one imaginary fairy in white frock,
I stared at her motionless as hard rock,
...
Where the ends of life meet
A boundary is broken
Overstepped and outreached
When another creed has spoken...
...
A lone cypress
In my grandfather's lawn
Standing tall and erect
Since I could sense life about me
...
Humanity lives by faith against the disbelief of many;
They say all they can and ask for deliverance by prayers;
Will the prayers reach to whom that has been sent ever...?
Like radio transmission, TV telecast prayer reaches to Him!
...
What about tonight I said?
The big box in the window
My mum is short on money again
I feel that it's a sin though
...
Scene, on the Cliffs to the Eastward of the Town of
Brighthelmstone in Sussex. Time, a Morning in November, 1792.
...
Vacantly staring into the night sky
She saw big bellied clouds drifting away
Are they fleeing away from the luminous moon?
Or mercilessly driven out
...
The first time I drank gin
I thought it must be hair tonic.
My brother swiped the bottle
from a guy whose father owned
...
I'm afraid but
I cannot take in
Your landslide defeat
Every second of my life
...
Can you recall where you were, September nine/eleven?
When all hell did break loose; from Kamikaze heaven,
In disbelief, you watched aghast… another plane, another blast.
...
Let me not, ever, to the marriage in Cana
Of Galilee admit the slightest sentiment
Of doubt about the astonishing and sustaining manna
Of chance and choice to throw a shadow's element
...
Dave McGunn was a surfin’ bum, half–crazed by the blazin’ sun.
From Waikiki to the Bering Sea, he rode ’em one by one.
...
Is it worth bringing a child into the world, mother?
Terror has taken over our lives, lamented my daughter…
Her question haunted me, and I pondered a while.
Life is so precious, yet so ephemeral and fragile.
...
Feeble sounds of timeless tunes
Flowing from across the dunes
Heard, unheard….in disbelief
I stood there…felt a strange relief
...
A beautiful ballerina full of grace
Tip toed on stage, in white lace.
Hair pulled back, a small crown in hair,
Oh, she looked so winsome and fair.
...
Touch
His warm, sideways glance
Wrapped me like an angora shawl-
...
After the break up
she breaks down.
The telephone is mute
...
What to remember and what to forget
Only you go near and beget
Eyes slowly raise level and meet
Head simply shakes and crumbles the feet
...
Arms around your waist,
And hairflying in the air,
That first joyride on mobike
On Delhi roads sealed our fate.
...
As history is made in the American elections
The world watches with disbelief and fascination.
Some one asked me, is it good for our nation?
Rejoice, people are overcoming racial discrimination.
...
HOW very hard it is to be
A Christian! Hard for you and me,
—Not the mere task of making real
That duty up to its ideal,
...
I took a snapshot of my little tot
then gently lifted her out of her cot
she was like a feather in my arms,
and oh how I fell for those baby charms.
...
I see her fly up high in the blue skies
From afar I see her stand near by
She is ugly
...
For the longest time
Random absent reason bore
Irrational heinous deeds,
...
Lord, far from Vrindavan, I heard your Divine song
Enchanted and in a trance, I hummed as I walked along.
The air was cool, after the rain and mildly fragrant.
With soft, woody, sweet, delicate and light scent.
...
After the rain is gone, the sunshine hits my eyes
And I can see clearly of what you are
You were lurking in the shadows
And I was blinded by the raindrops
...
Millions watch helplessly towards sky
Humbly ask for what is their fault and why?
Shake head in disbelief and find no other way
Open sky is refuge and earth only place to lay
...
Is it possible that we are so twisted
there is no salvation for any of us,
and that ideas have become wingless
in an age of winged rockets?
...
It is an unholy appetite-
A desire, some say,
Born of Satan himself.
The Roaring Lion,
...
A work of art is not shown here,
yard created by queen of despair.
She rules the insane in great capacity.
Fearful as it were, her tenacity.
...
Theo, never, ever judged Vincent.
Nor did he ask any awkward questions.
He accepted his brother as he was,
Without attempting to change or oppose him.
...
Remember old Ichabod, last name of Crane
The gangly schoolmaster - some thought him insane
He went to a party on All Hallows' Eve
What happened that night is still hard to believe;
...
Face turning pale, her breath failed with a start.
Being half-loved had dissembled her heart.
Quietly subdued, yet inwardly weeping
...
Walking by an old abandoned building
That once housed a penny candy store,
I envisioned all the wide-eyed children
As they gazed at the display of candy galore.
...
MY friend he was; my friend from all the rest;
With childlike faith he oped to me his breast;
No door was locked on altar, grave or grief;
No weakness veiled, concealed no disbelief;

When the sun shines!
...
Before the break of dawn each side prepared battle plans
in a bright bonfires burnt til’ sunrise,
Strategy drawn on sand not on a piece of paper,
indigenous warriors rallied about the Datu,
...
Nothing remains said
when someone is laid to rest
it is the best part of the world
where remains untold memories
...
After ten long years
Johnny returned home
Everything seemed unchanged
The Aged father sat
...
While you're alive it's shameful to worm your way into
the Calendar of Saints.
Disbelief in yourself is more saintly.
It takes real talent not to dread being terrified
...
The bar he went inside was not
A place he often visited;
He welcomed anonymity;
No one to switch inquisitive
...
Between the green bud and the red
Youth sat and sang by Time, and shed
From eyes and tresses flowers and tears,
From heart and spirit hopes and fears,

He stands outside the window.
-Nemesis-
His hunter’s senses
Can detect the two beings inside the room.

Never has a day
been more perfect
for a funeral:
as fresh and clear

I know
I am patient for you,
I am impatient for you,
I am indifferent for you too,

A Word about Vermillion*
The Sioux Falls (SD) Argus Leader
Often presents our fair city
...
That winter's night the sky did glow
A flaming amber 'neath the stars,
As the city blazed the bombs lit up
The old cathedral spire,
...
Matter for
She entered room slowly
With smile but shyly
...
In its dark Inner sanctum,
Of oily stone walls,
The soft radiance of
A small clay lamp humbles
...
Campaigns have begun,
All of a sudden they care a
Great deal about us...
Ha! ha!

Twisted body silhouetted
in a flood of summer light
he seems incongruous down here.

coronavirus
comes for the self-quarantine,
isolated life

‘What a piece of work is a man! '
It rings down through aisles
And comes down through eons
Is there anything created so far
...
In Life's Red Sea with faith I plant my feet,
And wait the sound of that sustaining word
Which long ago the men of Israel heard,

71 Not To Sleep
As I am counting stars for a dreamy sleep
A sudden fragrance strikes me..where from..
...
The whole world is flat
& I am round.
Even women avert their eyes,
& men, embarrassed

Every night spent in tears takes a toll on her,
mixed emotions selfless statements portrayed,
the world had never seen such an empty child,
such an empty doll,

Wednesday,16th July 2019
I give no damn look
...
As I wake up
Early in the morning anew;
Still hoping that the sun
Shall come shining through.
...
Evil, I am calling!
Evil, do you hear?
Evil, I’m imploring!
Please – I beg your ear!
...
When you were small, a helpless kid,
Just imagine what parents did,
From feeding to keeping you clean –
A routine that had always been!
...
There was deep sorrow in his eyes
He looked at me and said
-We tried it all; I speak no lies
The baby was born dead
...
It hit me this morning...
she's really turning 20 today.
How can that be when I still see her
...
Who am I?
Am I just a flesh of despair on a plate of hopefulness?
...
O, my love make me shining star
Though I am not be near but very far
I have to be away with a reason
I shall come to you without any season
...
GOD makes a poet: touches soul and sight,
And lips and heart, and sends him forth to sing;
His fellows hearing, own the true birthright,
And crown him daily with the love they bring
...
OOPS! ! ! As brought to my attention by poet anais vionet,
I, Bri, misnamed this showcase 'October's' when I should
have said November! ! ! Sorry for my mixup/error. I'm OLD.

The Devil visited the Lord and said,
here I’am Lord, I come to visit,
to share a sip of wine, shall we say,
I don’t want to gloat and
...
Real sons of soil
Not that olden days have gone
moral values have gone down
...
O, my love make me shining star
Though I am not near but very far
I have to be away for particular reason
But I shall come to you without any season
...
A room I saw
where the babu of poverty had been a frequent visitor
few walls were stark naked as if they never wore anything
and a few were shedding away the color they were draped in
...
The day John Kennedy was shot,
He bowed his wounded head...
His wife embraced him frantically,
Her lap, a martyr's bed.
...
Why prayers have lead role to play?
No one can offer any explanation and say?
How is that it gives immediate relief to mind?
We find Joy and happiness of special kind
...
That one long dirge-moan sad and deep,
Low, muffled by the solemn stress
Of such emotion as doth steep
The soul in brooding quietness,
...
I wish to God that I had been in a situation that I didn't have to know
anything about her at all. That I had never seen her again after she threw
my hand off her like that. That being why I was a danger to myself or another-
that I touched somebody suggestively when they did not want to be touched.
