Man – he stood alone and stooped Assistance offered by another man’s cane Pedestrian pavement spoke to the street As clever as clever as loud as vain Eyes they darted here and there Left – right – up – down Unfamiliar a look on ageing face – Wan smile replaced with ample frown Can I […]
Author: sensualism
I spend my valuable hours with family and friends, enjoying the simple pleasures of what life has to offer. Otherwise, I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem.
I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
I happened on a stranger
I happened on a stranger With a smile that said friend And struck up a conversation Mixed with laughter and no end Her face was warm and glowing Like the sun on sparkling sea No sense of grief or sorrow Only merriment and glee I had nothing to give her But simple innocence aglow As […]
I walked the road of timeliness
I walked the road of timeliness With patience in my pocket On a rock I lit a cigarette And caught my breath upon it I looked from hillside to the sea Old windows streamed around me Strangers one and all observed A righteous life had found me I stubbed the butt into the earth With […]

Whilst standing on the promenade a pod of toothed whales is seen on the beach – elsewhere a dam is giving birth to a foal The mortal mind within man shouts aloud from the pier preying to Him for an eternal soul The croc feeds on cattle the hippo capsizes a boat – there’s surprise […]
My eyes
Should one worry in this world of true belief Or shed the tears of simpletons – foretold The essence of true feelings – taken – sold To fickle sorts discerning hollow eyes Choices field the art of understanding Tolerance the art of love held dear Pray – be pleased we fall for goodness Ne’er for […]
Haiku poetry XXV
the frog left anger for tranquility the pond turned the corner gently a precursor to the time of autumn leaves
Nascent
How could it be that talent lost to us in moments of such thoughtlessness beseeched How could it be that we, as humankind naysayers all – yet all of nascent kind Turn one’s head until the dark cloud passes in brightest sky alone is when we shine Forget one’s stance against ignominy and bile and […]
it had been a cold and lonely winter
It had been a cold and lonely winter yet the sunlight followed her like a spotlight – and her face spread joy like an infant child Racing between thoughts of yesteryear and the here and now – she pondered over the love she knew (once – and long ago) And the happiness that traced her […]
