Deserving of his honorific title Datuk bestowed on men of honour...

Given his loud and strident calls for those holding the reins of power....
To better buck up in all matters of governance,  to honour pledges while...

Tiranga (Tricolour)

First unfurled, was the Indian tricolor; 
on Everest, the world's highest peak.
All the three colours are deliberated 
to give some message and speak.

Dark saffron, white and Indian green,
the three colours of Indian national flag;
all in horizontal rectangular bars,
top to bottom, respectively placed.

Green band at...

My friends Rosie, Hammond and me
Had insomnia and were in the kitchen one Sunday
Discussing The Nuclear Waste Medicine Convention
We wined and dined and had a good old time,

Trifolium pollinated courtesy bombus

Before landscapers mow swaths
across undulating waves of clover

usually cut grass every Tuesday)
bumblebees alight from one to another flower.

Meanwhile, I lie splayed
mid morning June 28th, 2022

quietly basking espying Robins
oblivious to presence of yours truly
pleasantly distracted unable to...

In a small stretch of tempo, I forgot about the inauspicious and piteous moths that were attracted to your irresistible flame.
In a small stretch of tempo, I...

Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive: Timelessness

Analogous to mobius strip -
     measured passage of existence
     only took precedence
     with *****sapiens ascendent
busting forth upon
     the figurative pedestal
