"Papyrus, Lapis Lazuli and the Valley of the Kings - Part 2"

Rush...
the sound of the wind 
licks her ears, bites her neck, stings her lips
the deep heat caresses her hips 
brandishes, burns into her skin
travels around her without and within
Materialising into radiant light
where whites are...

The student sits in third row last chair
His foolish words of attention are blurted everywhere
He understands not the value of listening
For he seeks laughs and howls for the teacher’s off>< pissing
Until finally the day of teacher student conflict
The teacher enquires of the student’s gimmicks 
Young...

The day I woke up
I will never forget
Confusion
An enormous pang of guilt hits me in the solar plexus
I curl up into the foetal position
As I remember

The guilt
How can I face it?
Them
Explanations will be expected
I will say it was accidental?
I didn't mean it
But I did 
And...

Say your prayers and sit up straight,
Get into that confessional box to wipe clean your slate.
Make sure you get all those wicked sins off your chest,
The lord will only welcome those who are wholesome and blessed.

In pitch black silence you sit, your final thoughts to...

Parents killed brutally 
Matter trivial
Upper caste involved
Compensation announced
Forty lakhs 
Reason
Placating minorities
Two sons
Then minors
Now turn 18
Eligible for compensation
Sumit younger
Enquires for money
“Some more paperwork,”
Suneet clarifies
Less than a year
Separating the two
“Why 40?”
Sumit further asks
“Twenty each-
Mom and Dad,”
Suneet explains
Two shots fired
Suneet gets killed
“Why settle for 20
Why not 60?”
Sumit coldly...

Fight or flight?
My body enquires
No, I laugh
I've just woken up

Do you need me now?
My body presses 
No, I explain
I’m just off to work

I'm sure you need me
My body insists 
No, I assure
I'm just with a friend 

You must need a hand 
My body decides
No! I...

Dante the depths thou searchest deep

Amidst  the pergatory sleep

Neither living yet not dead

Torn between the sheets of red

Enter and ye lose all hope

Spirit world spirit folk

Inside the dark and black despair

Not leaving till he finds her there

Fraid of nothing his soul may take

Enquires of...

GRANNY'S LOVE:

On every matter, she keeps me counseled,
So that any wrong plans would be cancelled. 
When I'm down, she gets me revived,
And by her love, I strongly get survived.
Nurtured me from childhood as a great granny;
Empowering me from a boy to a good daddy,
Inculcating into...

the fire encircled me
n i was melting
away into a vanishing mass
burnt into ashes, then
wake up like like a phoenix later
i knew i slept like a baby
her persistent warmth,the
enthusiasm of the youth the
loving enquires n the innocent
bashfulness awoke me
up from the deep slumber
the sun has come...

Upon the porch overlooks the stellar way, 
Nothing but darkness, on the great stellar way
Over the dead sky, pendent hang cold bright Moon
To warn whoever to walk and lay down soon

A lone stranger comes to us, when gloomy day
Then stops by the old porch, in...

Steeple lit by lightning loud
Moon that's full peeks round a cloud
Trudging through the churchyard mud
Unwise shortcut: THUD, THUD, THUD!

The sound is muted ’neath my feet
No one there I wish to meet
Sodden hair and soaked to skin
Contemplate my every sin

Thunder, lightning, crackling air
Time to hightail out...

Mary had received a letter.
She read it aloud to her friend Netta.
It was to invite her to go with Ben,
As done last year to the town fair again.

Netta said “aren’t you going with Joe?”
Mary replied ”He did ask me to go.
Why don’t the four of...

Meant enquires consequent 
On ken Sampson The Eloquent
Wishing now to himself acquaint 
With the conflicts that were frequent, 
Where his people are domiciled, 
Currently to odds reconciled, 
So that he might about them speak 
And The Still-Kept Hidden leak…

In the darkest drain slain body,
Not long...

Just a voice on the phone
And a breezy hello.
And a name to be etched on my mind
This call been connected direct to my heart
And how can I help, she enquires.
Returning my heart would be a good start.
She’s the girl on the phone 
With that breezy...

The cancer in my head

Patently obviously 

Is ever so slowly

Taking over

Me

Day bye day

So here's to you

Al Parkinson

My imaginary childhood friend

Who as a single child

I could truly count on

And kept me company

Way back then

For kindly taking the time to revisit

Me once again

As you are the only...
