Let the last stanza fill in the blanks

 Blank Pages

 

Page after page, bare blank deposit’s nothing.

People devoid in devoiced thought processes.

Knots To BE tied silent, crushed barren juggernauts.

Nuts never screwed onto any threaded purpose.

Page after page - after page, fortissimo facsimile.

Lackluster expression devoid depth inter-prehension.

 

Ink stained invisible, bears yesterday, as today erased.

Moral of the mural’s blankety blank, white barren white.

Black bare - writes night; while white bears - bleach daylight.

Nothing heard, never seen, felt in sense tense dumbness.

Words numb, retract amongst subservient mindless censor ship,

Plying waterlogged pores, to flush faded, watercolors away.

 

In in the eye, it looks inward blind, amid surreal surrounding.

To exist shackled, tongue tied, bowing out and downcast.

Weight of gravity, amidst quicksand chokeholds, muffle outcast.

For in, ever more, lays even more, never more, furthermore.

Eye am, what was naught, being twisted tight, lynching lifeless.

Hear thy dire desperation scream. shrill alone in death volleys.

 

Seer thy paired eyes, onto looking glass, shard blink pieces.

Thee art a divine creation that must blossom forth - worth.

God, did not create eunuchs, incapable of word production.

Au Contraire, we are blessed with organs of reproduction.

Wherein words, we elongate monumental sentence climaxes.

Where feminine bare birthrights, due process bears existence.

 

Whom am I, in eyes worthless, amid written null and voids?

Must one be terminated of a Right to bare witness – words?

For within words, poet souls plows furrow wise, rich lines.

Hear yea the naysayer attitude, who shout be silent moron.

Society, must be, closed minded, amid shackled mind-frames.

See nothing, do anything or even hear things, be dead ends.

 

Paged Leave Poet Tree, how it streams, floral fluid passageways.

Breezing songbird sounds, awake paging wind current voyages.

Dew fill in blank pages, furrowing poetry plow adrift word journeys.

Life lives within us, to reconnoiter unique fork poetic pure pathways.

Express the quintessential composite that We are divine blessed.

Not in Blank Pages, but Pages filled with - enlightened Literary Poetry.

Greetings to Poet David Lester Young.

Courage, Wisdom and Peace.

This is exquisitely great!

"Blank Pages" flows to show how the Quill of Master Poet flies.

I have enjoyed the reading of an edifying witty wise wordplay.

Viva the Poet!

In reverent appreciation,
Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU
