leonard daranjo Poems

Like voices drifting in a corridor
Like the sea swishing in ebb tide
Like a diaphanous sun drooling listlessly
In the mid western sky
...

Night languishes
On the crest of dawn
...

…..I …..

Spearing darkness
An eye blinked flash
...

Chiselled in stone;
Pencilled in a diary;
Splashed on a canvas;
Organised in sound;
...

I remember the sea
In the full moon
All foamy and frothy and free
I remember her face
...

Out of the swamp of imagination
Crawl images that lie
Hibernating in subterfuge
Awaiting entrapment
...

Everyday is a new born babe
Holding within its clenched fists
...

The chalice is dry
Not a dropp in it
The oceans are dense with oil
The rivers are filled with chemicals
...

The sea kissed the clouds, and
Like an impressionist’s brush,
Smudged the horizon
...

On hearing of the death of sister’s pet cat
The first thought that came to my mind
Was that a friend like him I never shall find
So loving, so genuine, so kind
...

With the dust of marble
In his bushy beard
An implacable zeal in his heart
The intensity of a magnified sunspot
...

Pencilling its way
Across an indigo sky,
Spider web lacerations,
Paint the earth
...

Appearing prehistoric,
Primordial,
Pterodactylian,
A wild duck
...

The most precious thing to be had on this earth
Is peace of mind and calmness of heart
More precious than anything else
You may ever find
...

Who am I to make you sad
If I cannot make you happy
Who am I to take from you
If I cannot give you in return
...

After a night of incessant rain,
The dawn strolled in,
Splintering the Eastern sky
Into jagged streaks of light
...

These lines make me look at winter morning's differently. You have certainly been moved by winter mornings here in Canada.
