John Sensele Poems

Mellow mood from my home
I bow down at your feet to tweet
I admire you, mellow mood, move away from Rome
Cos I long to meet you, to savour your sweet.
...

The heart broken into for the umpteenth time
Pulled itself together
Withdrew into its cocoon where a sublime
Thought told the heart to give up romance altogether.
...

Back to the sender any maleficent matter
Concocted in concealed corner conferences
Where conspirators collected clutter
To increase chances of deleterious differences on either faces of fences.
...

My head, surf with care the maze
Where the labyrinth loses her contour
To ensnare the gullible into a daze
From which once entrapped there's no detour.
...

Treat your partner right
Despite years of familiarity
Unless you desire increase in your plight
Which comes fast on wings of celerity and wands of severity.
...

My life is a roller coaster
I ride for maximum adrenalin
As I traverse a trampoline toaster
To accelerate my dose of dopamine.
...

Mom, thank you for enabling my birth
Despite dangers of gestation
Despite risks and roadblocks to your good health
Above all, I'm beholden to you for your mountain of devotion and attention.
...

The scorn men pour on women singes
Bonds that bind grooms to the brides
They claim to love when love limps on its hinges
As brides tire of tenuous tirades and risible rides.
...

Express gratitude if magnets get to your planet
To light up your days
As you escape the drudgery dragnet
Whether he sways, stays or strays.
...

Hope always hovering in heads
That sometimes blink, clink, sink and wink into despair
Once people thump fists and jump from beds
Where they claim life's leisure and pleasure aren't fair.
...
