John Sensele Poems

Address in your life turpitudes that plague
Progress in the process of indulging in a record
In your kitchen, your bedroom, your study
Filled with backward oriented actions that end
...

Singe the bridge that leads to the watering hole
Stuck to a pedestrian past, a regression rung
On a ladder of paucity, an inglorious life station whose whole
Purpose glues your future to a gangrene bung.
...

In your life, embrace a philosophy of perspicacity
Steeped in clarity of thought and effective action due
To execution depth pursued with caution and sagacity
Intended to bring to fruition any assignment new.
...

By dint of determination, sprint
Towards the prize you deserve to serve
With distinction folks and blokes who hint
At self reliance with nerves of steel and verve.
...

Validate friendships, consolidate plans
Backed up by deep thoughts taught
To several cohorts of students from clans
That aspire to higher heights with no hint a whisky tot.
...

Dream love, dream hope, dream progress
Driven throughout by diligence
Embraced to the hilt to stress lasting success
In every single instance of providence.
...

Unless I see sense, I'd reap double
Blues and queues of zeroes
Stashed to rouse rows of rabble
That let down two trusted heroes.
...

If only I could love her again
I'd give her the very best
My heart could give her in the rain
To cuddle her tight chest.
...

When a vest of hide and seek knocks at a door
Teeming with secrets and lies piled up
Yards high, feet wide and miles long on a floor
Gone mad, it's time for lad to discard a poisoned cup
...

Certificate deal, certificate steel melts faster
Under scrutiny at an examination council
Where eagles' eyes flush out a cluster
Of fake certificates tendered in a dunce roll.
...
