The Idea of You

how should i define?
define the idea of you
my nerves are pranking me
to believe,
"it will be same as someone before you"
for once
i want to dream, i want to believe,
"your love will be grand as seas"
i leave this letter on your door
with a painting of you from my mind
you will never absquatulate me
your beaming smile will forever hide my crimes
the crime I define as-"loving a liar"
that unforgivable sin will bury in the past 
and my idea of you will forever last

The waves and her

The waves&her

Along the waves she ambles 
Prevailing the ocean elysian 
The longing feel of a hiraeth 
Sensual, her cheeks aflush; An inamorata. 
She gently rubs her eyes and sees- 
the bewitching phosphenes: 
Ludic, And apricate.
Among the waves she stood, in-stillness. 
The aurora reflecting on her eyes. 
In werifesterias, she questions and halts, 
The alexithymia she relishes
Then she ruminates with a glee. 
The ocean flows mellifluous- 
Dulcet. So orphic.

Away from the waves she walks, 
Ephemeral, on the way to her metanoia 
Absquatulate.

Fantastic Words

A closer look at a fantastic word
And no, I’m not talking in bafflegab
To not repeat this speak is just absurd

To absquatulate like a fracas herd
Throw a foofaraw over a little jab
A closer look at a fantastic word

A uni-brow is a glabella furred
And whirligigs hung too slapdash to grab
To not repeat this speak is just absurd

Scuttlebutt schlepped to sassafras by bird
Skedaddle from a skirmish of stone crab
A closer look at a fantastic word

A quibble over razzmatazz occurred
Doohickey from a lummox, easy nab
To not repeat this speak is just absurd

So scrumdiddlyumptious I may have slurred
Like tintinnabulation, it’s not drab
A closer look at a fantastic word
To not repeat this speak is just absurd
