John Sensele Poems

Don't belittle the face mask to endanger your beloved
When the mask you wear on your chin feels enslaved
As advertising your face seems wise
Beloved lives you cut down to size
...

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I die
Sometimes I try, sometimes I sigh
Wondering why immense possibilities faded away
When wisdom dictated you and I give way
...

Fill for me a bowl of welcome
When you and I together come
To the place where our hearts meet
To love, to have each other and to fit
...

Give me compassion and passion
Give me a heart in love fashion
Where on creatures big and small I pour love
Whether love flows from my my heart or from above
...

Don't enter the fray if you ain't ready
To give me your best shot
When evidence portrayed you as pooped out already
...

I pity the ignorance
I puke in the trance
Advertised in the trash I publish
When each day with flourish
...

Prisoner to the vitriol from my fangs
I blame society for the tacky tongues
I embrace
My foibles I fail to efface
...

Prisoner to the vitriol from my fangs
I blame society for the tacky tongues
I embrace
My foibles I fail to efface
...

On your doorstep dangle lemons
Which your mind metamorphoses into sermons
Converting moods into lemonades
Your alter ego converts into grenades
...

Democracy dies
When a cocktail of openness and tolerance cries
In the vice of myopia
Rusting in throes of death in Utopia
...
