John Sensele Poems

Emblems of problems inflame discomfort, assail and fail
To bail out nails and mails of any life form
As long as life crawls and rolls towards a snail
Sent from above to kiss a dour dove and roam
...

Waste not your time in haste, taste not any worry
Tackle factors under your control buckle but leave
Imponderables for God to dispose of alongside any dowry
That is due. Cultivate and elevate cultures that sieve
...

Whichever way the undefeated turns, her image appears
Haunts and taunts his imagination grown fertile
Ever since he set eyes on the gazelle that sears
His tender heart to smithereens. It's not so much guile
...

Little structures and infrastructure sprout on a chest
Pelvis metamorphoses into a rose to ready a woman
To bear babies. Excuses and ruse to suffer the worst?
Not at all. Sights of female structures to a main man
...

Death sneaks into lives and robs parents
And fathers of beloved offspring.
Sons and daughters death fragments
In Winter, Summer, Autumn and Spring.
...

Never again would I feel sorry
To tell my story, to spell my worry
Heightened, brightened up by glamour
Felt deep within the heel of my clamour.
...

March against the rule of guns
March in favour of human life in tonnes
Inscribed in the Book of Life
Although lobbyists promote societal strife.
...

Like millstones round her nimble neck
Secrets from monstrous mistakes
Cast silly stones any way she turns
To remind her there aren't any crunchy cakes
...

It's only one nil
Chanted the Crested Crane;
Let Copper Bullets
Land their charted plane
...

In Mysophilia, sanctions visit anyone
Who rejects indoctrination creed
And keeps an independent thought
That plants dissension seed
...
