John Sensele Poems

My right, my plight, my fight, my sight how I use and choose to burn bundles of my life's candle
Matters little what fleas and fees tongue waggers tag and drag, what doubt dream dousers doodle.

My right, my tight, my blight, my bite, my kite to optimize my rise
...

Grope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy.
...

The blast of a cast aghast with fuss on a blunderbuss
Flew and grew a crew who rued chances and stances to discuss
Differences in conciliation conferences that coerced cooperation
Amplified by the serenity and dignity delegates drew from desperation.
...

Crossroads prod roads thatand upload quads of queries
Lumped and dumped on our battered bodies by blister berries
Spiced with slices of suppression and subjugation
That in the end neither mend nor amend our conjugation.
...

Fields, shields and yields of love heal
Upheavals hearts harassed and heckled in circumstances
Maintained, retained and sustained on a hill
Disown and drown doubts in cocoons that ingratiate impertinence instances.
...

Beats, fleets and streets of wits won't quit over indiscreet tweets
Posted and pasted in error as you withdrew your succulent sweets
To banish and punish my wish to fish from another dish
I chose and you froze to pause the rose that arose from my roving radish.
...

Race to place hopes beyond braces, faces and traces of confidence
Buoyed, deployed, enjoyed beyond the purview of human interaction
Experienced, sensed and commenced on the throe of rows of prudence
Embraced, stressed and buttressed in the wake of actual affection.
...

Break not my heart, don't wreck my part
To entertain, maintain or retain your fancy
Pour empathy and sympathy into me to heal your heart
In the end, mend both your life and your love for Nancy.
...

Aubrey, I bless the day faces and aces of our life courses crossed
To cement the mettle and fettle grown to own relationships with colleagues
As each day, each way, each stay a laughter, a meal, a deal, a joke you tossed
Until mercy memories on the campus, on a bus, on a field lived on like flavoured figs.
...

Matters little when life like a lifeless leaf in the wind trembles
Surging forth, seeking serenity, summoning common sense
In quarters cut off from conversation and creative communication mumbles
As couples lost in the mendacity miasma boast and coast in notoriety nonsense.
...
