Lee Mendy Imuede Poems
- 1. Life’s Stage
In life’s great stage we step, and play our part,
With utmost care and ardent dedication.
Intricacies of drama we impart,
Each word and gesture deemed a revelation.
... - 2. Man’s Measure
In man’s fractured odyssey through life’s plane,
What marks the zenith of his mortal gain?
Is it boundless wealth, a deified shrine,
Or the fleeting awe of a fickle design?
... - 3. Saving Grace
Grace, oh grace, a mystery unknown.
Its power and might, like seeds unsown,
Where love beyond imagining,
Becomes our everlasting spring.
... - 4. Disobedience
An iambic octameter poem of alternate end-rhymes
In ancient days, when Eden bloomed,
And life was cleanly pure and fair,
... - 5. Raped
She's been raped again,
Incestuously by her own,
In the raw; without disguise,
By those into whose hands
... - 6. The Loved: A Poem Of Utter Appreciation
I am dead
And when, by some Muse, awakened
I die again killed and decayed
My death is the lauded lingerie
... - 7. Love's Vagaries: (a Sonnet And Dirge)
Love is to every life the uncanniest response,
For by it are the indulgence of life woven.
Love is the lulling hat that curbs the bonce,
For to it, indeed, is the thinking head cloven.
... - 8. On Such Day
On such day of sundry memories
When the sky's in all its colours best
And the moon, its yellow glow gees
With yearning earth; its fervour fest
... - 9. Our Place
Our place is a malady.
With actors and potentates in its midlands
Out of whose mouths go guileful pledges.
So it is when they seek a seat.
