John Sensele Poems

Blues bubble, happiness humbles
Though I sometimes wonder
Why life stumbles
In the absence of turbulence thunder.
...

Overcome by grief, we withdraw into a cocoon
Where we blame others for our loss
Resembling people less than a raccoon
Who gathers no moss.
...

Soccer stimulates senses
Slays tedium
Prolongs sobriety stances
Prevents hordes of odium.
...

Marriage, here we pledge endurance
To overcome your fire
Here we pledge patience and tolerance
Despite your higher ire.
...

Unyoke me, I'm not your slave
Let me explore new avenues
Realize I'm forever brave
Whether or not you like my news.
...

Character lies beneath your skin
Pretence shines on your surface
Character never is a mannequin
Success and progress bless your face.
...

Heart, why do you bother to love so soon?
Makes no sense in essence to convince them all's well
When your insane brain sustains pain from the goon
Although in the long run it's hard to tell for him you fell.
...

Hope hovers on my horizon
To lift my spirits
To delight my zeal zone
And to tame trivial tweets, to welcome wits.
...

I live my life the way I deem it fit
To meet feet and fathoms I set
Regardless of whether you quit
Freak out, flap, flop, flip or fret.
...

Don't play me for a fool
Just because I love you
Or I'll take you back to love school
For your heart and brain to learn love anew.
...
