I, Mongoose Poems

Freely given at the price of chance
Scattered atoms die to dance
Rhythms of muted fate
Gathered before oblivion's gate.
...

I try to keep abreast of the world's happenings and ways
To know what my nation's energy is about these days.
So I pay attention to what tv news says.
But there are so many spewing
...

Confused ambulations arise to mind
Fed by an unknown sustenance.
Dread and anguish together dined
Over a feast of bitter reluctance.
...

Every time I come to this place
It is the same with the changing.
Shadows and glare reflect form,
As night-clouds a lightning storm.
...

Churning up the muddy waters of love,
I a belching frog, thou a cooing dove.
Taken by what I feel and lost to all I see
Heartlong jumping just to fall to thee.
...

Apart from the buzzing of fellow men
I sit alone in self-exile's den;
With none to speak and none to hear
Secrets whispered in solitude's ear.
...

Space between here and drunkenness
A desert wasteland of crisp lucidity.

Wand'ring through hot sun, burning sands
...

Her beauty is the sun,
Light and warmth of my world.
Her hair is the autumn wind;
Her eyes a cloudless night.
...

We are dying of thirst
At a well in the desert,
With a torn rope
And shattered pale.
...
