"bestirring" poems
Forsaken: crestfallen, and he's been
Vacant, but bestirring himself now to
Once more go out on a limb to seek,
If haply he could a new find pronto,
A girl who'd like a medicine his heart
Mend and fill, with her rib, the space
In his side with her perfectly cast love,
Fitting unto him for the rest of his days.

It is a euphoric moment and to her surprise her mind goes blank,
The images in her mind and the floating words the fountain of her imagination greedily drank.
The poetic profusion bubbling within her was satiated as she grasped her pen,
The treasure trove concealed in her heart was at the threshold to appeal to the men..
Taking one step further from the actual and nearer to the imaginative feature,
Her intellectual forge bestirring her to seek the invigorating charm of Nature.
She can capture the glimpses of the past and ponder over the predictions of the future,
Philosophies of life or a utopian world she can easily nurture..
Such is the power of her wistful words,
Which can openly challenge the sheathed swords.
She can sway the world with her imaginative story,
And register her name in the pages of wondrous glory!!

hard facade
soft edges
blurred depressions
precipitous slopes
fragile points of origin
no shape
a heavy space
dappling of light
eyes a fusion into the mind
a focus approaches
my forehead meets my finger tips
thumbs caress my ears
nose peeks out for air
tension builds across my neck
the day is bestirring
a haunting commences
the stirring street clamours
my feet embrace the floor
the bathroom draws me near
the bus door shushes close
my hand finds a bar to hold
an unanswered welcoming smile in the crowd
the window fog of mortal breath
ting, my inescapable stop
my watch prompts me to toil
the briefcase opens amongst discarded papers
lunch makes it to the drawer
password…. needs changing
emails overflow the inbox
an empty outbox
unpaid demands
crossed out scribbles
a match of a pencil
smell of an unlaundered shirt
the clamour of the phone
a deadline agreed
the digital clock hoots in red at my predicament
the editor hot, the ink is cold
lame excuses unworthy of air
time to recant
elbows take my weight as I bow
pray-full fingers encamp on my face
eyelids close
here a place for shapes of my imagination
