Anthony Joseph Erangey Poems

Spasms of majesty, erect and dysfunctional.
Boldly cowering in the chaise lounge.
There's a name for that somewhere, I whisper.
Lost in the halls of adolescence, unhindered.
...

I'm hoping that this will see the light.
Clear and simple, untextured. Unrefined.
Memory has been elusive of late.
Along with discipline, it will have to wait.
...

Who decided the qualifications, that would be the ones?
Let's offer a few thoughts on process.
Let's say ' We are the Human race' we are as one.
Suddenly, there is a plan from above.
...

The thunder roars, its clarions din,
Temptation’s door, harbinger of sin,
Lightning flashes, severing the sky,
Hellish clashes, deep within my mind.
...

Before me, I can see you eternal,
Cloistered, in these hills of sand.
Ceaselessly, diurnal and nocturnal,
Parched, crystal grains, flung and fanned.
...

Oh how I've bent and twisted my frame in two.
For just a heartbeat to worship you.
The beat turned to hours, days too,
then in a blink, my entire youth.
...

Wheel me closer Sylvia, that my fading eyes
May once again, behold our palace of love.
I forgot how beautiful and green, this land was.
...

I bade farewell to eccentricity,
For long had I been in its zealous grasp.
It charged though me, with electricity
Slithering my brain, dark Saharan Asp.
...

Should I add a bag, strung with name tag, boil water hot,
for the waiting mug?
Vanished days of ease, Ceylon black leaves, and brim full pots,
Saucers bone, tea cups.
...

Conical canopy, charcoaled day
Rotund kettle, on tubular legs
Polka dot ashes, spiral, cambered flames.
Square stamped, clearly darkened fillet.
...
