MY SONNETS
SHAME ON THE STARS I once beheld the sky one starry night And saw the stars continuous as the sky, For most, or all of them did came to sight And so adorned with lights the space up high
In spite of this the earth was clad in gloom, Likle as the inside of a coastal cave Then curious thoughts arose in me like plume. And made me from myself the reason crave.
I then discerned the moon did not emerge But couldn't the stars coalesce and light the earth Despite that they abound in space at large? So useless they're we ne'er perceive their dearth!
The moon alone on what's a starless night, Shames a zillion stars on a moonless night.
CONSCIENCE My fleeing self, conscience apprehended And then gripped my mind like as a sword's hilt With pictures I'm shown, I'm being reminded By him of all I'd done of acts of guilt.
I escaped the men of truncheons and guns And shamed the probing tentacles of law. But this unseen cop caught me on the run And melancholy, I'm being fed with, raw.
His captive I'll remain till my last day For none but death could help rid him of me. E'en though Heaven had forgiven me, nay! This cop won't leave, but wait, my end to see.
A cop more effective there had ne'er been Than this one, wielding no weapon, unseen.
TO MY LOVE Oh! How shall I describe our first meeting? It was like that between death and a soul. Then came thy love to my heart (then waiting) Naturally as leaves to a tree's bole.
My heart and thine are now but Siamese twins And our love keeps waxing like the new moon. Stuck to thee my mind hath always been since I ne'er thought love could come my way so soon.
Please let us water our love, oh my love For it is still but a tender seedling, Which if nurtured becomes that none can move But if not, dies of lack after wilting.
May this wax stronger till our hairs go grey And so last as long as our lives, I pray.
STIFF-NECKED FOOLS Many could enter man's oral or'fice: From birds and beasts, his source of milk and meat, To verdant plants, his fruits and herbs sources. But some chose none save clouds of smoke to eat.
They'd turned their lungs to bio-chimney pots And stick to th' act like paper does to glue. And when urged to stop blackening their own guts, They stiffen their necks in pride like turkeys do.
Know them not that they, by their own hands are Gradually multiplying the number Of holes punched in that standing barrier Shielding them from death, (who's ever in hunger)?
Reflect now and love thy life more dearly For thou art digging thy grave so early.
