"statuesque" poems
. In a costume of conflicting emotion, of crossing diamondic colour, with regal posture in grief, the Harlequin and the King, a display of opposites creating a composite being, that eases her body gently into the waiting water, to float away serene, on her journey to the nether. Midnight blue and emerald green, the regalia of ermine, both ostentatious and humble, robeing the aspects, understated in crowning splendour, the gentleman King bows, and the Harlequin laughs, the bi-polar reaction to the tragedy of misfortune, with a sting in the myth-tale. With the dark hues of mourning, a legend passes on her way, across the streams of time, on a voyage to discover herself, carrying her Harlequin in a purse, holding her King to her breast, owning them both in her heart, the medicine wheel spins, knowing the grapes of wrath yield the wine of spite. The motley speckles of attire, a starry parody of night skies, lighting the decorated funeral barge, gliding along the rivers of space, worn with the mantle of sorrow, and it sails into the sunset, as the Harlequin and King observe, the mandala turns, the bier of the Queen departing, bears their sadness forth. The Harlequin laughs and laughs 'til he cries, his heart grows cold, then withers and dies, whilst the King, statuesque, memoirs his life, lamenting the legend of a Queen, his wife. © Pagan Paul (24/07/18)

Mediaeval Myth Lamenting Legend
As mother nature's Punitive measure Against a society In maintaining The statuesque That doesn't bother, Our rivers Had become subject To a water thirst, To the extent Of projecting Rocky ribs Terrifyingly protruded out For easy count! But now thanks to The all-out, terrace making And reafforestation effort Of each catchment Farmers have made a point And also  to the afforestation Move of the government Rivers aside from quenching Their insatiable thirst Have resumed To brim over With floods Drinking water To their hearts' content. Our forests once stripped of Their wooded cover Have started, fast, to recover From afar they are seen Robed eye-catching green From a fry-pan sky Allowing a shelter Also busy Carbon to sequester. Wild animals That migrated Have preferred Back their way to find. Now farmers don't have Deep to dig To sink a water well Or find a nearby spring. Birds are heard chirruping Be it winter, summer or spring, While Brooks bubbling. Buzzing and hovering From this to that flower Bees are producing Organic honey by the hour. Promising a bumper harvest Farmer's plots have Fortunately continued To resuscitate! Those leaving Their denuded abode behind Away, who preferred To stay 'We will return back home soon! ' Is what They  say. Happily enough Mother nature Affords us a second chance Imbued with Environment stewardship If  we are willing to mend Our wrong 'Feast today famine tomorrow! ' stance. To dispel the spectre Of climate change And systematically face The global challenge True to the adage 'We have either to swim together or sink together!

Most heavenly of places, this world now Of endless beauties, a sight that wows They're statuesque and wax-like, but hey don't fret No wrinkles to combat, nor ripples of fat Gazing into their arresting green eyes That of the rabbit's, resemblance lies Uncanny it is, this puzzling scene Manufactured they are, from the same jellyfish gene And since its time to seek paradise, My wandering hands caress the prize To search for weakness, now I must No amount of fondling, stirs any lust I've come so far, and this is what perfection costs? The smoothest of skin, has left all thumbprints lost

One and all, and all the same
This poem casts a line from insomnia to morning On the wind of a prayer that whatever bites, holds on. See I have counted eleven score and ten, with rainbow like curves of my neck - contemptuous beasts leaping in formation each bleating out a preach of vague platitudes; A narrative for the night sky. My hands clamour at keys for escape until I tumble headfirst into a web so vast it has ensnared the whole world wide - millennials are living in-ter-net over in-the-world; a new ultraviolence against humanity. I beat my words into the screen until it breaks; shattering scarlet emoticons like confetti pouring over language as if it were a compliment. My mind massages shapeless polypous thoughts like tight constricted muscles aching for release. 3am casts these philosophies into horses, whipping them into shape and speed before the eyes of this statuesque ****** This anxious wakefulness begs my manic self to dance; suggestively ********* tickets to ride like cleavage. Sleep is fast becoming a neglected former engagement; as my mind trips over fallen heroes wades through my favourite mistakes in a wonderland unfolding faster than I can fall while the world beyond my window remains dark.

Insomnia
The wick is fading, and I have no matches left In this dark abyss where I sit depressed My valiant heart has become a perch for crows Smile shaped in stone Each embrace stiff and cold from my marbled soul My arms depict a grasping hand Reaching for a world these etched eyes will never know Trapped in the heart of a withered artist His mad dealings mold and make me A victim of his musings Crafted in a candlelit madness Delicate delusions and vague allusions To courage in the many veiled faces of death Carved and set at the base of the steps Statuesque

Statuesque
The world is full of friends yet to meet The world with divine love replete O Ganesh, I am at your feet Your incarnation in the poetry of the beat Statuesque and filled with light As I saw you on my flight A mesmerising and illustrious sight That bids goodbye to hate and spite Irresistible to adore Ganesh, the champion of ancient lore A countervailing force to war Hear him riot, hear him roar

Ode To Ganesh
The slits of glass give way to light, Which cuts through the air and sun leeched curtains. It falls weightless on warming skin, Breathing life into stillness. A gentle caress, a sultry glance; Statuesque, they cast shadows on the wall. Shadows that illuminate and contour, Express and entrance. Longing rapture in eyes, incandescent and iridescent; Loveless yet sensuous silken skin that tells of life well lived. Your broken heart rests on shoulders, colored and vivid; A world is painted in timeless elegance. What horrors has she seen? Said the looker so enthused. What grandness has passed her eye? Says another just as true. Oh the colors so earthen tell of pleasures and sorrows, yet whisper of frailty. They speak in tongues that can never be trusted, only pondered. The intricate oil work from a badger’s fair coat, Show delicate and smooth, All the features of her roistering frame; Passions of the heart now told by passions of the brush. The life is still, but forever infinite.

Musings from an Art Gallery: The Still Life
The gods has blessed me with thee Ajoke,the only daughter of moremi Meet me at twilight, Let the stars gaze at us all night The sweetness of your lips is More intoxicating than an in-tact Palm-wine. The deities has made you mine Your beauty is picturesque My beauteous Ajoke With a mythic foxy appearance Even the birds fall into trance Your beauty is statuesque Your aesthetic qualities is grand Blessed with fancible dimples Your skin is allergic to wrinkles The space in-between my fingers is Where yours fit perfectly Ajoke my faultless muse.

Faultless muse
Walking into the Reception Hall, they stole the show away, A regal pair they were, with a little bit of Butch and Sundance swagger shown. A confident air, not at all underserved. Dressed with just enough elegance. Their posture and hue , sleek and silky golden, like a duet of Cheetahs. Eyes alert and searching for prey. Alert for danger. Like a herd of antelope, all heads turned to look, The men perhaps out of desire, the women staring envy at them, Like the twin bores of a loaded gun. Mother and fetching daughter, From twenty feet, hard to tell which, one was one, or the other. Long blond hair, full and fine, both women tall, statuesque, moving with grace and ease. The mother my old friend, the daughter all grown up now, each having a smile that would light up anyone's darkness of mood. We greeted one another, hugs and hand shakes shared. A little conversation in the crowded room, Many pairs of eyes upon us there. Enchanted is the word that best describes my impression, this duo as intelligent and charming as they were beautiful to see. The mother sedate, classy and yet open and free, no pretense, no games just naturally at ease. As lovely as I remembered her to be. Her offspring, vivacious, spirited and bold, smart as whip, with a tongue that could draw blood if she desired it to. Chatty and funny, sure of herself, in the manner of beautiful people, yet not in a pompous way, merely Confident in self and her place in the world. She possessed all the character traits you would wish your own daughter to have. Her Mother had done well is raising her. Too soon they moved on, meeting and greeting others', out of my hearing and seeing. Some weeks have passed, a month or two and yet their strong impression has lingered, I can't keep them out of my mind. The Mother, my friend most of all.

Good morning rooster How do you do? It’s the crack of dawn You cock-a-doodle-do You sit on your perch pride fully and woo Standing mighty and bold you call your brood for food Sleek and graceful you do the cockerel waltz Strutting vaudeville statuesque Crowing to proclaim your territory You stand protecting your roost ***** and brave Watching for predators coming your way The alpha male Your earlobes and crown are blood red like a bird of paradise Your steel beak as strong as a saw Your feather mane chestnut drapes over your back Your breast fuchsia and emerald quill Your silken tail an extended fan You run free reign on my ranch A thousand chickens roost in my barn You rearrange my garden while pecking for nourishment Eating up all the insects and brown recluses in my yard In dust you and your flock bathe You even watch over the hens eggs Your calls distinct and powerful When you are still and content sweet singing rings You are friendly to humans And can even be domesticated Stay here Roo We will protect you

Cockerel Waltz
is what i wear. it is a loreal campaign offering the art of concealment wrinkles are for unironed clothes and old folk homes all creation and destruction spun from tomb the glow emanating from a woman's womb this spf isn't always available for the wear its not some cap we can slip on our hair or the glasses we use to hide the despair for our pimples have awoken from their nightly slumber allowing the light to illuminate their number best we take it all in the midnight pukes and the morning glow lets carry on with our dancing dynamo all starry eyed and audacious all messy and pugnacious with our lips soaked in red shouting words of poetic gibberish to statuesque lovers who spin in and out of the revolving door as we sing our tune under helmets under bleeding stars and wind up with tattooed legs and arms for there is a radiant rose in your brain permanently blooming against the ticking of time as you stand in alliance with lust and love alike when they conveniently misplaced their pain at the local bookstore i can't imagine they'll go looking for it.

SPF **** you sun
Barefoot and dirt-clod I tip-toe across the yard Avoiding mounds of stickers Sharp rocks and weeds The sky is full Satin filled milk fluff And moonshine Full on me Our tangerine trees Rustle with low lying Bull frogs Rib bit, rib bit A symphony of crickets sings High pitched Beetle mania I hear a distant “moo” from the cows A latent “who” from the owls in the barn The statuesque wind chime Is playing a cacophony of wind song This life here engulfs me in its pure and rare beauty I am one with the country, home again

Moonshine Wind Song
You asked me by chance in a momentary passing if I happened to have a lighter I patted my pockets desperately for the red one that is usually hidden I saw you were already turning to leave and knowing I was losing time I promptly lit myself on fire just to see your statuesque form inhale in front of me a bit longer I watched you walk away into the gray fog I've never seen you since that day But I have ever since found myself burning Literally singed with desire

Missed Connections (Up In Smoke)
Bluebell Lucy danced in fantastic flames, taught by shamanic figures   when the winter nights grew tiresome   and lonely boys ran passionately in village streets She stood on ancient structures and sang her song with uttermost vigor   even after mild paranoia sets in, she stands statuesque   breathing harmonic, listening intently to the cloud's chatter Her cobalt lashes flickered adroitly when she scanned the sky atop her locks   and let the coming rains wash through that azure mane   until the kiss of eternal gratitude arrived from a stray bird On cobble stone paving, her heels were worn and dampened, she nimbly strides   how beautiful it is to see a spirit so free   and the obstinate world yields to her alone Loosely, Lucy with a cerulean aura, gathers the injured and feral in alabaster arms   she is yagé and the world hallucinates because of her   a subtle enlightenment she gives to onlookers and thieves Camu Camu sprouting from the wells she digs with bare hands in midnight moonlight   her compatriots, the beasts of lost tribes, look onwards   and she wails a verse on hemerocallis singular sensation The flower that she is, a wild one that grows sporadically to enhance the beauty of existence   and everybody incomprehensible in thoughts when she speaks   because she is love when love had died so many suns ago

Ayahuasca Edification In The Age of Lovelessness, and She Is Light When I Am In The Dark
Do not utter a syllable For the reaper lurks at the door Dim the lights as our eyes are widened   Sit in a desperate, huddled mass Feel the shivering, helpless creature on the left Hear my traitorous lungs exhaling, surrendering my position My heart pounding, screaming at my body Ordering me to run, to fight, to **** "Do not go gentle into that good night," As Dylan Thomas so elegantly stated Yet it is not a time for romantic visions of heroism Beowulf's idealism will not save us here Sobbing, shivering, ***** stained American Eagle Sweat drenched Under Amour Tees and hoodies Feet ironically quivering in red and orange Nike Shocks A 243 pound lineman blubbering under his breath He wants his mother, his daddy, his pillow, to go home Another boy, Darrel, clenches his fists, readies for attack Cassidy sits silently, emotionless, statuesque, frozen in time And I . . . What do I do? . . . What do I do? Do I flinch like Sir Gawain in the face of death? Or do I . . . . . . What do I do? God, may I never discover the answer to this evil query God help us stop the violence consuming innocent children Render CODE RED obsolete Yet, CODE RED will parish not For society feeds on fictional fame Fifteen minutes that Warhol never could have painted Now it will be duplicated like so many Campbell's Soup cans CODE RED    CODE RED    CODE RED   CODE RED   And . . . What will I do? What will I do?

I am captivated by a thought of old Yeller in the streets of Madagascar. Shot me dead indeed for standing up to digs of my deeds done wrong. But what of his Sister, and did he miss her for fiesta on Friday last~Until a droopy~eyed mistress crooned a cock~a~doodle~doo straight against the face of death. They loved Prima, come subtle still life into the night.  Brought Passion'd brink of tears, thrown forlorn wisping shutter to my skin and I am Thought.. thinking I migh'nt be lost to soon to this moment mi'amour. Charging hunted into the streets, taken by day or by night. Overrated artform of statuesque mystique, compendium of gods have struck me mortal and I am Death...dying unto pleasures infinitum. Quell into question the material mourning, noon and night. Antidote to antithesis is Imagination...imagining everything in nothingness all at once...banging out existence, through the vacuum...all the way to Madagascar. Take my place, take my bullet for me on the other end of old Yeller and I will take your end on the other side... of You ...being Me.

Madagascar
Greens and gold of lattice work cascading down the tree, This epiphyte, so infinitely, delicately free. A lattice work of green finesse, a miniature Cezanne With exquisiteness of spiky bloom embellishing it’s charm. Cascading down the grizzled trunk of gnarled and twisted hand The hosting ancient Kamahi looms loftily, so grand. Looms aloft with leafy bough so softened by the show Of ruffled, pinkish bottle brush amassing high and low. Hordes of buzzing, bumble bees so clumsy in their way, Tumbling from flower to flower collecting nectar’s day. With afternoon the waning sun lies hot on sultry air And little girls in pretty frocks skip by with not a care. Summer grasses long and dry stand statuesque and straight With sweet laburnum’s perfumed heads a nodding by the gate. Young heifers graze in clover in the dell down by the brook And the fantail dances daintily seeking insects in the nook There’s a special, quiet majesty pervading here, so fair With the thistledown afloat, so still with golden motes in air. Fills my soul with gentle feeling and a rolling tear, unplanned, For this blend of quiet ambivalence through my beauteous rural land. Marshalg “Foxglove” Taranaki. NEW ZEALAND. 19 January 2014

This Blend of Quiet Ambivalence
I am too bold the obsession of our seperation A child torn from childhood shattered hourglass In her eyes I see myself swinging from a limb Her words tying the noose and the smiles pull it tight She would have me gasping goodbyes spittle laced Bullet hot fingers tracing the blown out blue veins Dopesick for her cracked lips I would lick them clean of venom But she is too bold for such infatuation She would rather pick the lock The cage in my chest where  it quietly rests One yellow eye open fangs glimmer scarlet hues Her neck hangs back in laughter Nape porcelaind frail statuesque She would snap my fingers Like a branch and I would laugh At pain syringed and sterile Alcohol stained breath I think you've  found the sweet spot Hot barrel to my temple Do me one last favor Release me from this tabernacle

You twist my hands, and my mouth kept still. Again and again. Turning blue and purple, they are dying. And I thought: Is this the way holding hands feel? Suffocating, and miserable, I don't think this is right. We stayed statuesque, out of sight of crazed eyes, and my mouth kept still. Vibrations stuck between the walls of my throat. Under my mind, above my chest. And your hands are still on my hands. And now they're turning into the early night. This is how we die, you say. Even nothing has been forged into my memory. Your hands had killed mine. Over and over, i cling to the possibilities. And you let go when my hands are gray walked back into your skin. You are nothing but a murderer. And this is how I cannot go back to you. You are smart I applaud you. That's the thing anger is an impasse. As you are. And now, i wonder why I didn't think this before You were killing the very thing that i could hold you to keep you mine.

After hours of perfect, statuesque silence I am poked, prodded, abused Why is he always so angry So hateful His fingers claw at me His feet collide into my legs And sometimes, He loses his temper all together And in a furious rage He hurtles me against the wall As if destroying a mere chair Will solve all problems Finally he leaves as second period begins And I am filled with blandness A person trying to blend Never lifting a finger or muttering a word It suffocates me with its nothingness I force myself to get lost in time But it always seems like eternity It's not at all like when she sits in me Sixth hour is always the best She comes in with a soft step Quietly settling herself in She seems solemn most days As if filled with disappointment I wish I could embrace her Let her know she is loved But I can't No chair can It's a shame, Next year, she'll be gone And all be left with pokes, prods, and unhappiness. I am just a chair after all.

The Chair
At it's ecstatic heights,  life is a splendid display of ballet moves. I watch you fly high precariously, stopping a  beat of my enamored heart with  an astounding move speaking beauty and dexterously land statuesque, in a graceful  arabesque stance. Defying gravity with amazing ease you create beauty none ever dreamed, so kaleidoscopic, appreciating it means touching the eternal with one's being in a fleeting moment, get transported. For that, one needs a mind as sharp as razor's edge and constantly pirouetting 360 degrees embracing  you at the speed of light, before you turn to a lightening flash,of different wavelength, all over again and begin the next cycle.

This man I don't know stopped me in a room full of paintings, asked me if I knew that Helonias was having an ****** as she clutched the head of John the Baptist and pierced the tongue that spoke against her- I had always thought the woman was mourning. Her face seemed contorted in statuesque grief, but, no - She was ******* as she mutilated the first cousin of Christ. How, strange, how brutal a thing to know.

She had a tongue that could open a wine bottle. Razor-sharp articulation. A fine art, some might say. Living sentences on a knifes-edge. It started in a unblunted manner, The force hit smacked splintered minds like a hammer. Honed in cuspate motions, Incisively smashing the nail on the head. She wasn’t wrong often. Vivacious wit vivid oscillating witch, some might say. Not I. I followed in the downstream of her resonance. A quivering wreck, soaked from head to toe in her libretto. She marched in stilettos, locomotive tip-toe motion, devotion to the traverse. Deviating as s he ambulated across lurid cobbled paths. How she manages, alas. Evades my comprehension. She had this brunt agitation, as if, she couldn’t hear the words you say to her. Maybe it was her nescient nature. A think naive conversant, If only it was that simple. Those dimples on her cheeks were like craters in the moon. That cheesy laugh fractures. She escaped from Alcatraz, Caught only by the dereliction, of her minds conviction. Infamy lapsed, as she collapsed in a pretzel of marvellous contortion. She radiantly turned to stone, a statuesque stanza. Cloned in allure, that never found answers she was looking for.
