' The Jungle Untamed calls me to exhibit its wonder and splendor to
mesmerise.'
-Poet
Jungle untamed accommodates flora -fauna
at random on broad spectrum, whimsically.
Feral fruits, flowers and wild grasses
grow free frolic, rustic yet fantastic
in jungle on rainy or sunny environ,
flourishing versatility of Nature.
Creepers and climbers tangled stout stems and boughs
coiling tight, being part of the tall trees.
Marvellous presentation of thorny bushes,
cluster of shrubs and soft thick tapestry of moss.
Ferocious animals with furious face fight
with one another as normal part of life.
Weak herbivores live at mercy of carnivores.
Survival of fittest is basic Nature’s Law.
In jungle untamed , primates started to build
dwelling places as caves, log house, trying
renovating to huts with continued effort
using brain power and tenacity.
Jungle untamed is the prime birth place of
normal progress for human civilisation.
Love's radiant beauty shines so bright,
Accepting and receiving, day and night,
It accommodates and upgrades our soul,
Bringing peace and joy that makes us whole.
With kindness, compassion, forgiveness and
patience too,
We embody love's art in all we do.
Love transforms lives, bridges gaps, and unites,
Connecting hearts with gentle, loving might.
We're crafted with love's gentle grace,
Reflecting its beauty in every place
Love's power flows like a river wide,
Nourishing our spirits, side by side.

The vastness of space is a fascinating enigma;
It mesmerizes everyone who falls into it.
If you fall once, then you will begin to sink.
Nature has fabricated the universe into a paradise,
Even if it accommodates hazards, it reveals the magic.
Similarly, a plant requires a flower for beauty,
Space requires astronauts to view its charms.
Like a beautiful newborn baby every day,
Beautiful newborn celestials every time.
At night, the brightening surface of the moon
Shows how much love spreads when we try to grasp it!
The relationship between astronaut and space flows,
An undefined phenomenon aligning them.
Seeing every star twinkling,
An astronaut's heart twinkles frequently.
As Russia launched Sputnik to explore wonders in space,
The curiosity of the USA led to the launch of Colombia
To view the amazement of space.
As the lion is the king of the jungle,
Similarly, the great space center NASA is the one
That possesses a peak position in eternity!
A sacred secretion wells up in the deepest of depths.
Hearts melt at the mere pronunciation of the word love.
Circumscribing human strengths and weaknesses at all lengths
Love permeates the earth and the highest heavens above.
Sympathy, empathy, companionship, consummation
Eros, Philia, Storage, and Agape... all encompass
The core of love—that's the true universe of compassion
Within which the rhythms of the sun, moon, and stars come to pass
It's not my will, but the will of the other dominates.
In love, ego is erased, like a dewdrop by the sun.
The weakest of weakness, love within it accommodates
Neither one is great nor one is smaller than anyone.
Each little petal peeled from acts of love is marvellous.
Lawless can be love's laws, yet they are never barbarous.
"Nobody favors a share ...
for sins I bear,
no one cares.
Now that the appointed hour pines faintly,
I stand in lights grace, a shadow no more,
barring lives in my wake and none before.
My cup did run over, right into me,
and spilt nothing,
and as I saw the empty cup,
I prayed.
Do tell, 'What does absence appear to be?'
Shunned by God as a void cataloged life.
Does it take some sordid form?
If so, be it horridly misshapen,
and be there a face that pulls night's veil,
luring darkness to hide its shame,
thus causing sleepless nights forevermore.
A son and brother were I and then a husband,
later, a father ... a family's man, thought I?
Benevolence accommodates me naught,
for charity had tipped over its cup.
Hopes I join with lives once shared,
those times when I was happy."
From in our homes, we view the world
Through windows which reveal
The goings-on around us, which
Affects the way we feel.
The wealthy, in their mansions,
May see mountains or the sea,
Which so many of us think is where
We’d also like to be.
While lots of folk may gaze outside
At scenes of homes and trees,
The sight of which brings comfort,
Worthy of their landscape fees.
The urban dwellers’ windows,
Sometimes from a dazzling height,
Show the bustle of the city,
Which may offer much delight.
For the poorer ones among us,
If they have a view at all,
It may reinforce their sadness,
Staring at a shaft or wall.
Still, by gazing out the windows
That our home accommodates,
We can dream about what’s out there
And what future life awaits.
He knows these roads,
has no need to find one way or another.
He drives without thought
hands and eyes free
there will be no unexpected turns.
This is a world without
traffic or people to move it along.
The grazing cows and horses
may be at the far end of their fields
or by the road fence,
the mind accommodates
for these moving chess pieces.
Is Ohio real after all
or did his mind name a mythical place
once seen in a storybook?
In any event,
he has a home and a name here,
it is almost a life.
Aves above, meadow below, secret catacomb
Scattered labyrinth accommodates as garland
Armour of thorns reborn as cordial yellow crown
Mother comfort apricot offers pleasures wafted
Mauve curled demure uncovered, velvet vortex
Birthday cake cream mingles fruit tingle hues
Morning crisp evaporation uplifts exulting heads
Flushed faces exhale, held in grateful hands
Nostalgia sends invite to nuptial rain haven
Doily draped tea table sips rosehip heavenly

I am an angry man
I considered butchering my mother
So that the government could offer me
Other accommodations away from her
Just because she asked me to clean
A pot in her house
She is so gracious
My mom
She accommodates me
But I blew up shaking with rage
Eyes bulging teeth bearing
Voice raised saying all kinds of nonsense
Earlier in the day I was angry again
At my girlfriend for nothing
I said some hurtful things
I must be a horrible human being
Thankfully she chose to never talk to me
But my mother my dear mother
What choice has she got from me
I even got angry at my dog
When she was trying to sit close to me
I yelled at her even though
She truly leans on me
Maybe I am all the evil yet to be
What happens when anger burns
All the love left for me in this world
What will I do with the memories
And the Ashes of what I had
The love I could not understand
What happens to me when I die
Alone starved and alone in the dark
Will there be anyone to place a rose
Or sing a dirge on my final verse
I need to stop being angry
Or I will not be there
To kiss my mother goodbye
Because of all the shame
I carry inside me
Ode To Refrigerator
My regards to Refrigerator !
Cool temperature
Calm by its nature.
Superb in Tecno sector.
Most helpful actually.
No need to cook regularly.
Preserving
Deserving
Cold character .
Accommodates every food item as I saw !
Cooked or raw :
Not to mention,
but no discrimination
and puts equal attention :
Unbiased factor.

Mediocrity, Excellence two shores
Waves of Efforts connecting shores
Surf on tide, swim against flow of ocean
Be ashore leveraging art of propulsion
Mediocrity, a reality, almost repulsive
Excellence, a rarity, almost elusive
Race of Excellence, making man a rat
Each gnawing at other to breast the tape
Peaks exist because of bottom layers
Underneath layers vital for peak to be there
Peak below feet, mark of Excellence pursuit
Feet dragging at layers, a mediocre feat
Peak and layer, complementary pair
Live with conviction, dash of dare
Peak accommodates just few
If at layer, gear up, stir up, be amongst few

A fictional facility created in mother’s memory
by Amadeus Arkham in an island off Gotham city coast,
Arkham Hospital is a unique asylum
for the criminally insane supervillains.
The asylum has a long and vicious history,
a part of which is dominated by Batman,
the comic book superhero at the top of physical ability,
having an agile expertise in various forms of martial arts.
He faces several mentally sick desperado inmates,
like enraged Bane and serial killer Victor, and finds
way out of hallucinating nightmares created by Scarecrow,
counteracts the nefarious designs of the formidable foes.
A fictitious leading institution for psychiatric research,
the asylum has special cells like the extreme isolation,
that accommodates a wide variety of insane evil patients,
whose wicked plots are dexterously wrecked by Batman.
