The corpse of this world has been easy to find
it has followed my footstep,
and yet,
beauty is here to astound
its glory confounds.
A bell in a towering light
knell's as it weds death to life -
the hideous to the beautiful.
The loathsome spins its exquisite webs,
The world nurtures both nectar and venom,
perceptions sleight of hand
mocks and bedazzles. One beholding eye
always opening, one always closing,
while my beggar's bowl is emptied
and washed
again, and again.

Meet me when
Sky paints pink
On mauve eve
Embossing love
With blue sapphires
Lured by kiss of
Romantic night
And twilight amber
In themes enamored
Bedazzles your dream
As horizon gleams
Lapis lazuli

The Language of Blue
Sinking into the lyrical language of blue
Prime layers of still solitude speak
With muted voices
In sapphire soprano rhapsodies,
Lines of bass blushes, electric flecks of neon fire.
Hear in dusky blue’s modal shafts of light,
The peaceful plaintive sotto voce
Set an indigo scene
In delft lingua for a pas de duex
With trebling hues lapis and arbot.
Blue chants a lexis, a cerulean chroma glow
Sung in tender tenor tones patois
To translate soft sky blue aqua idioms,
As minor phrases meditate on azure,
In prose text that wafts in periwinkle blooms.
Unhurried blue on blue in plain-chant paeans,
Whispers and bedazzles teal twilight librettos
Of cradle songs in soft celeste waves
Of cobalt midnight in the consoling,
And the mystic, language of blue.

Grey is this day of lull when gloom prevails
The suspended still amid the precipitous air
Above a nimbi gathering conceals the sun
Its saturated frothy mass obscures the earth
From which faint droplets inject the grey
Thus fall in swirling eddies upon the ground
Compounding force that paints a glistening sheen
And from above a flash bedazzles
Streaking across the seething clouds
Like a predator mapping a dangerous path
To alight on some unsuspecting prey
And in the faraway a grumbling responds

Autumn arrives, its breath a cool breeze.
Birds forming echelons travel the sky.
Sunlight bedazzles the bright leaves of trees.
Poets like me may be prone to sigh,
wistfully bidding the summer goodbye.

Floating above our fantastic blue marble
an ebony sky speckled with stars
bedazzles the eyes at night.
But when Sol rises
the sky bleeds
blue,
offset by
alabaster clouds,
misty puffs, fluffy and bright
absorbing rays of brilliant sunlight;
floating above our fantastic blue marble.

As the morning slowly awakens I see how those beautiful eyes
Of yours warmly shine bright and share thy palpable feelings of
Enchanted moments of true love and unbridled fiery emotions.
Making love to me in the depths of your sweet dreams proves to be
Quite interesting as angels fly by and giggle softly at this prospect.
Yet, as we touch, caress, and kiss deeply—your dreams are now reality.
A lively passion burns inside such loving beauty as all pain fades away,
And I know you are that special one I have longed for my entire life.
The pulchritude of your radiant presence and spirit bedazzles me now.
As we adorn one treasured pearl filling our hearts with its deep pleasure,
Our minds now connect as one, visualizing eternal dances of true love
That echo on in caves beneath our psyche sounding our mutual passion.
Sailing away under a silver moon forever is where we need to be as two
Sultry lovers and like-spirits who have eaten that sweet forbidden fruit,
And to know we shall both scale infinite heights one day into eternity.

FIFA Puska's Award Winner Is Faiz Who
G morning......
A wonder goal that defies physics and bedazzles the football world....
And send into obscurity all other wondrous goals from all over the world...
Step aside, Cristiano Renaldo and Lionel Messi...
The spotlight now is solely on an obscure Malaysian, Faiz Subri...
Faiz who, you may want to ask, and to scratch hard that head of yours...
Somebody please, please post here that video clip of Faiz's wonder kick...
That has propelled this Bolehland country and her Premier League...
Into world soccer limelight with 2.6m viewers and counting, my friends....
This easily eclipses the 1m plus viewers each of the next two candidates in line...
And the award comes with a hefty amount of US100k as the coveted prize....
But I might have been mistaken about that figure, pardon me...
Please correct me if I am wrong there, but it is a gospel truth to be...
Now that the balloting is over, all hail Faiz Subri, 2017 FIFA Puska's Football Award winner of the year...
It is a worldwide recognition of the most spectacular wonder kick for the year...
Let the truth prevail, Malaysia Boleh!

Rules are to be broken
Laws disobeyed
Total freedom
Rejection of all but the self
On a high pedestal
Anarchy supplanted by dictatorial
Magical oratory bedazzles
Drowned out by horrific percussion
All so futile.
Deadly, bloody
Each has followers
Spurn the rational
The compromise, the balance
Stirred by body chemicals
Like rubber bands
Stretch from one extreme to another
Unseen turmoil
Deadly storm on the horizon
Nature omnipotent
Kneel, bow down, and prostrate yourself
We are but grains of sand
Washed, tossed, sunburned
All so transitory
Some live more than once
Our shadow blinks and disappears
Into ashes from the mold of birth
Ever yearning

The silent stillness waits
At my heart's anxious gate
The play of dark and light
Bedazzles drowsy sight
The journey fork road path
Makes choice puzzling enough
The uncertain feeling
Shades doubts unravelling
The last light now falling
Marks poor deciphering
Yet I know this full well
My angel helps me dwell
Yes I can find my way
Through anxious earthly days
I sense a calmness here
Feel faith and love now steer
An inner calm abides
To light, to rouse, to guide.
A gentle touch saves me
Anchor in stormy seas
No matter where I walk
My angel aids my talk
Day by day I journey
Into life's mystery

A picture in words for my dear sweet Cathie
The lady who has captured my soul
Searched a whole lifetime for this dream of mine
Now our love story can finally be told
I've known sweet Cathie almost forever
But events control the path that we travel
Till the time was right, our love lay in waiting
This affair that sizzles and bedazzles
When I look in her eyes, I see shooting stars
An awesome display of sheer wonder
The love that shines through is beyond all words
It's the reason for this spell that I'm under
Words don't come easy to describe her beauty
I stumble and search for the phrase
That describes this enchantress, this vision before me
In the glow of the moon's purple haze
A picture in words for my dearest sweet Cathie
This sweetie has made my life whole
True love comes along only once in a lifetime
Cathie's stolen my heart and my soul

The miracle of love is like a rose bloom in spring
That sees the day, bedazzles, stings then decays
The miracle of love is like a rose bloom in spring
The flame that is born never to fade away
The miracle of love is like a rose bloom in spring
The miracle of the renewal of the break 'f day
The miracle of love is like a rose bloom in spring
The swing of the heart between the day past and ‘
The sought-for one the future will ahead lay
The miracle of love is like a rose bloom in spring
The passage 'f a shooting-star:
The magic instant one ne'er truly takes the time
To enjoy as it flies away ere the scent 'f its spark
Twirls one’s senses away

Drive me crazy do your thing
Tear my heart out and eat it
No let’s start again
Drive me crazy do your thing
Sink your teeth into peaches
No still not right
Drive me crazy do your thing
Pout your lips and look at me
Getting there
Lust is primal in the eye
Bedazzles a head like
An electric shock
Flesh it speaks
Mind it’s locked
Rapacious!
Drive me crazy for a while.
