John Sensele Poems

Don't despise the beauty lying beneath my mask
The mask doesn't belittle the treasure I carry
When balls and calls of duty drive commitment to the task
...

Bleach leeches of the switch of the doubt
Your mind nurtures without reason
When in horror I gaze at your lips pout
...

We entwine in a season of hope
Cavorting in the bliss we harvest
When with beats of our hearts we grope
...

Take a look at histrionics of the souse
Whose groggy knees pirouette and spin
Groping in a sloshed manner for the gate to the house
...

Sir, I haven't over-dramatized my beauty
Every hour or so a selfie on Facebook I post
A compulsive obsession that grew into my duty
Selfies with passages of time tasted like tutti-frutti
...

In towers of songs, I sing
Sad songs, happy songs
That in your heart move everything
...

Bliss blesses you and me, I believe
Warming up feelings overflowing in our hearts
Which at the ready extend glee for love to receive
...

Judas jives in your friend
Betrayal from fickle friends follows a trend
That pops up when you go away to pray
Such friendship traitors lead astray.
...

Serenades of caskets my world shakes
Sights of morgues I can't thread
In loving eyes a heart breaks
...

The half full glass of democrats stresses rats
The half full glass of republicans blesses brats
Puzzling voters in Uncle Sam saunter on political plans
Who undecided scratch beats and their pleats of their clans
...
