John Sensele Poems

Love leaves its mark in hearts it strikes
The glow of love mellows minds it psyches
Hearts can't persist in resisting love for long
When Cupid's arrows come on too strong
...

Robust health is mostly appreciated
By folks who glanced death in the eye
When their health depreciated
Until God proclaimed they wouldn't die
...

‘Tis within my powers
To contain rage
That deflowers
My home page
...

A rush of mad blood to your head
Means you blow away a chance to wed
Or if you wed you wallow in a lonely bed
Where you sow sadness and reap dread.
...

Poems span a myriad forms
Which defy facile formulations and notions.
Each poem by nature informs
The reader about categories, repetitions
...

Mathematics through fingers penetrates the brain
Where it plants success seeds
Which jump off Mathematics train
When harried by memorization feeds.
...

Bloodshot eyes
Dying liver
Overcast skies
A dive into a river
...

When a frail finger froths at the mouth others to accuse
Four fingers boldly from me blessings, graces, favours refuse
No matter how crafty my ruse
From tricks and traps let my soul recuse.
