John Sensele Poems

The emptiness I feel
In the life I lead
Can't fill and steal pains that deal
Blows I seldom need
...

Pray ceaselessly, send prayers to God
Who planned, formed you and sent
You into our family like a gold
Nugget packaged and meant
...

The crown of life smiles at folks who don't frown
Regardless of how dire spires of circumstances may get
For frowns rob folks of vitality until their noun
Resembles an assembly of forsaken folks who forget
...

Deep within somersaulting stomachs
Gastric juices in full flight
Rumble and stumble on attacks
Pangs of hunger thrust forth as light
...

My right, my plight, my fight, my sight how I use and choose to burn bundles of
my life's candle
Matters little what fleas and fees tongue waggers tag and drag, what doubt
dream dousers doodle
...

The heart driven by compassion
Beats in tune with the plight
The poor ponders in every supine session
As food fragments he longs to bite.
...

In addition to respecting feelings
Partners hold very close to their hearts
Ensure that you don't indulge in double dealings
Which in the end reap toxic tarts.
...

Forget me not when you ascend to the apex
Where oxygen grows thinner
To the extent when you begin to vex
Associates, acquaintances and friends with whom you chopped dinner.
...

Cuddle my heart
Ameliorate my amorous art
Then from love draw your part.
...

Human nature sometimes stumbles
Frailty winning the battle
Wallowing in mumbles and grumbles
Indulging in tittle tattle.
...
