"dinned" poems
It keeps eternal whisperings around
Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell
Gluts twice ten thousand caverns, till the spell
Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound.
Often 'tis in such gentle temper found,
That scarcely will the very smallest shell
Be moved for days from whence it sometime fell,
When last the winds of heaven were unbound.
Oh ye! who have your eye-balls vexed and tired,
Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;
Oh ye! whose ears are dinned with uproar rude,
Or fed too much with cloying melody,—
Sit ye near some old cavern's mouth, and brood
Until ye start, as if the sea-nymphs choired!
4.7k
I've both toasted and buttered
having been served equally well
with marmite and marmalade.
I've dinned in Brugge and Halifax
trod the true path of kings
in places of requisite legend
still flavour claret
in truer climes
and tried to sting like a bee
composite and true living
slight of hand yet self assured

To polling stations
Going out in droves,
With their unanimous voice,
Electors made clear their choice-
“A breath of fresh air
Would be fair! ”
But as a democracy patrons
Also democracy vendors,
You thought-
“Better an old Satan
Than an angel new born,
The heart of a new angel,
We may not crack open!”
As peace brokers,
To dissuade voters
You dinned into their ears,
“Democracy is a process!
Thus it entails
The gradual unfolding of rights!
Specially in developing nations,
It is tardy in striking roots!”
You also went to say
“The ill-favoured government ,
Though by ballot card made out of play
And adamant to let power away,
A midwife to self-determination
Had paved the way
For the fairness you enjoy today.
Imagine the price it had to pay!”
Tirelessly you pleaded voters
To see reasons
And give the government
A time-out and stalemate,
Also to let it take part
In a joint government!
The hardest way
What people learnt today
Is democracy is indeed a process
That could suffer setbacks,
Or experience a lapse
And down clutters
A tyranny abyss!
Double dealers
Now as a democracy undertaker
You venture to offer
A hearse,
What a farce!
As history
Recorded it in its annals
Go ahead fish in troubled water,
By your very nature
You are capable
To do nothing better!

It is almost
Valentine day
I look up at the sky
And wish you where still here
With me it year is hard on me
Valentine day
Valentine day
You are in heaven and you are
Still here in spirit but I just wish
I can see you and I wish God gives us
More time together because we have
Not dated for long we only have dated
For 1 year and not long enough together
But enough to make awesome memories
Together I will treasure the memories we
Share they will be in my heart I am blessed
To had been your girlfriend you where the
Best boyfriend Nick I am blessed to had
Know you and I remember the day when
I saw you in college I was in the dorm lobby
I say hi my name is Amanda and you say
Hi my name is Nick I say nice to meet you
And you say you too I just wish I was not
Afraid of asking you if you like me back in
College because if I was not afraid of asking if
You like me and found out you like me the
Same way we will had been dating back in
College but I was scar and did not ask you
If you like me but I remember the day you
Ask me out over facetime on April 23, 2015
You say " so we have a lot in common do
You want to be my girlfriend" and I say
Yes I will love to be you girlfriend it all
Started with a picture I post on Facebook
You comment on the picture saying 1. I will
date you 2. You are beautiful 3. You are sweet
I was like I have to comment you back and tell
You I feel the same way and we started Facebook
Messenger after I post the picture on Facebook for
5 weeks then we text each other about 8 weeks then
We facetime each other for 6 weeks then April 23,
2015 we started dating and I remember our first
date we went to see Finding Dory and our 2 date
We saw Secret Life Of Pets then we got dinner I also
Remember you cooked me dinned when I was at you
Dad house and before I leave to go back home you give
Me a big hug and I kiss you on top of your head and tell
You I love you so very much on August 19, 2016 and we
Also have our first kiss and last kiss before I went on my
Cruise September 8, 2016 I come back September 17, 2016
And find out that you passed away from a heart attack on
September 14, 2016 at 2:00am when I went to funeral I just
Wish you sit up and come back to life I just can not believe
You are in heaven I miss you so very much I think about you
Everyday and I know I will see you again someday so I hope
You have a wonderful valentine day up in heaven
So happy valentine day in heaven my love

365 days it's been
Since I first saw you
at that record store around the corner
Oh how I can never
seem to forget that cute little grin
we had conversations
about music and favorite ice cream
I swear you almost
dinned Lou Reed into my head
didn't take long for me
to have to find my patience
But I didn't mind
because you looked at
me like no other boy would
we went on dates to
Ben & Jerry's and
afterwards we went along
and met your mates.
You took me to all
your thinking spots where
we shared all our
deep secrets
every dripple, every drop
We spent some nights
hiding in the sheets
gazing into
each others eyes
as you kissed me 'till
the morning sky
You told me you
loved me so
and never met someone with
the purest heart
I never had a clue..
Awoke one beautiful
morning to awful
news
you picked up the phone
they told you I was dying
you held me and started crying
I told you
"bad things happen to good people"
your words went into
circles as you told me
"I'm here and I'm never letting go"
that's when I knew
I loved you so.
365 days it's been
since I first saw you
at the record store around
the corner
Never have I
stopped loving
you
not once,
not
ever.

I've seen the sun shine in the mountains
Felt the warmth of the ocean breeze
Dinned on the finest philly cheese
I've felt the sadness of a man on his knees
Broken beaten left behind
Opened sweetened lost my mind
The flower bloomed in the dead of night
Pedals blackened from the lack of light
A ray of sun shined on the stem
The flower grew into the wind
Bent and broken now it lays
The brief moment of hope
Left to decay.

a horse
has pone
in luxury
but his
banana drove
caviar in
a steeplechase
if sketchiness
was juvenile
that dinned
there in
gallantry with
my reconnaissance
left indelible
awhile in
retro and
hip hop

a tale of sandy wind crafted waves
aimlessly walking, is what one craves
the soul sought by the meager mind stretched
into it tireless tipped thoughts is etched
beckoned is the turbulent tumbles of wind
blasting away backward,bankrupt ideas pinned
possibilities of new ideas to be dinned
acute heat of the abandoned arid environment
releases the raw rational recognition of refinement
radiance restoring the road to true alignment
cruising through colorful crystalline channels of creation
characterizes the acquired acumen of appreciation
removing the fastened fabric of frustration
drifting through splendid swishing of sand distribution
there enshrined lies the sincere solution
cementing solace in ones absolution
