John Sensele Poems

A chance to glance at and to renew friendship
Isn't a chance to advance excuses and to sweep
Away a repast of the past under a carpet of kinship.
...

A wave of appreciation that simulates an incentive
Nurtures companions whose opinions travel
In our lives where each wave stimulates a love missive.
...

By far, showers of shame bar, mar and scar mellifluous minds
That sweep under a carpet wrongs
To paint pain on reams of domestic platforms of several kinds.
...

Men must stand the heat on love land and in an open oven
When tongue waggers deal carbon cards and tilt till
Ensconced in poison pressure to lampoon luscious love in vain.
...

Months spent ruminating in solitude to ponder
The extent of the humiliation the lass inflicted
On Jack when she sailed away and failed to go yonder
The courtship ship stung to the quick the love that once existed.
...

Bitten by a love bug, a teenager opens her arms wide
To welcome advances coming from a suitor
Purporting to sweep into an amorous ride
When ectasy titillates and tingles her romance meter.
...

Concealed behind the asthma and miasma of kleptomania
Hackers swimming and dealing in seas of moronism
Collapse on the seat of their pants while praying for pantomania
To rescue souls that singe as in their pates screams Satanism.
...

Stuck on an island after a shipwreck
Brought about by a calamity catalysed
By a dare devil spirit of adventure for the sake
Of proving a point that common sense labelled 'unsanitised'.
...

When tides rise and fall and tears roll
Because the apple of the eye fled
Leaving a forlorn heart screaming in a shopping mall
It's time to put dejection sentiments to bed.
...

Dressed up as inverted love, banes of pretence
Leave in their wake more pain and heartache
Than a shark teeth's bite that tears flesh and hence
Kills its prey in a sea of sorrow beyond a lake.
...
