John Sensele Poems

Unlearn hideous habits
Alongside their boisterous bits
If your path should forge ahead
When spans of your wings spread
...

Holes in my impecunious pocket
Leak the countable cash
I rescued from the ribald rocket
Where dear dreams I stash
...

Blown my blues away
Sent them packing on a hill
As I strive to find my way
To proceed to bliss which strives hard to hold sway
...

Don't go breaking your lover's heart
Swimming in illusions of greatness
Such grooves and moves don't make you smart
When in the long run company you part
...

Delight in flights of the right
To play with rays of hope, the right to pray
For opportunities to conquer our pandemic plight
All the while peeling off fears and tears of the night
...

The aperture of the discomfiture literature
In the cyst of the midst of a defeat fleet
To which you appended your sick signature
Growing a malfeasance into into a rapture
...

Swinging in a harassment hoop
Left and right in a hurry
My brain conjuring a scoop
As the recent past I bury
...

You do not dare to shed a tear
Any more, white chalk
Expended on the chalkboard to wear
Thin as detractors in whispering tones talk
...

The passage into the massage of rest
Sanitises the fibres of my mind
Sun up awakening spares my soul being stressed
...

Exorcise the demon
Connubial conspirators caress and buttress
As their salvo sneaks into a lemon
Their trifles weave to stress
...
