Inspiration and passion
Our gift to cherish

dreary eyed, musky languor- tassels tight
a loose walk paraded by looser convictions
an acquaintance of that sad, lowly height
that alluded odysseys and several hymns

open window, surely dries out the stink
encroached in the room shadows and fleas
the zeitgeist of this area; to even think
flowers and dewdrops burly...

Echoes bouncing off the walls
 Falling on none at all
Whispers that grew screaming loud
 Not heard or understood(ever)
Frustrated and hoarse 
  I left them behind
     Saying
        Nothing

Painting in broadest stokes I knew

When intellect, intelligence, genuis and smart; MEET dumbness, stupidity,ignorance, to start.

Conception takes place,
the pro-creation they make,

something,
someone,
simply plain.


When knowledge, talent, gifted, and skill; MEET unmotivated,devasted,degradated, unwilled.

Belief takes place,
the inception they make,

nothing,
no one,
CAN.
BE.
EVERYTHING.

the golden morning 
in the green shirts the plants laugh
the bland flute seeks hues

I joined the graduation of a stupid situation
where everyone bar one was quite a grinner.
We put on our jester hat to knock one fella’ flat;
which didn’t mean that we turned out a winner.

He was different you see, so was picked on endlessly
to become the butt...

It feels like defeat
Built up, to let down
A dream is complete
But, joy wasn’t found

My senses disperse 
I become colorblind
Not what I rehearsed
Before, in my mind

I pray and conspire
I cling to the hope
I tend to the fire
But only get smoke

The waves are on mute
The salt fails...

i started a joke that i would like for you to finish
maybe then i could see that smile of yours again
it used to always make my problems fade away....even if for a little while
life's merciless stratagem has chewed you up and spit you out
the unorthodox...

Trump boring and bland
even though we did demand
will not take the stand...

A BLAND OLD FLAG

August was the eleventh month of a torrid affair
In September me and the miss were kissing
The end of September was difficult to bare
When suddenly the miss went missing

I believed every promise and every vow
The hope that bespoke of a future grand
But then...

Gorgeous red haired beauty in the colorful peacock dress.
How dare you wear your shiny perky loveliness to my party.
You have trumped all of us.
Our frocks look dowdy and sad now.
We look like yesterday’s tissues.

I feel bland next to your bonfire orange hair.
I feel dowdy and...

invisible bars
around your lacklustre heart
the colour of you

M-ake no bland move, 
Y-ou have to show emotion; 
R-efrain from exhibiting no concern, 
A-ct with exciting motion.

H-ave to evade bland move, 
O-r uninteresting walk; 
L-et not your gesture be boring, 
L-et not clarity leave your talk.
O-n the twenty-first of September, let your performance prove;...

Every eve, you ask me
How was your day?
As if you care, as if you know
As if you have something to say

Every eve, I answer too
It was fine, nothing new
As if I mean it, as if I feel it
As if I really have nothing to do

Every...
