Best Scotching Poems

85TH BIRTHDAY –
Journal IX

Nostalgia figures no
time span
An event of many,
many years seems no
more
      than a few
Looking out on the
world with the same
eyes
Memory is tricked
Ah yes that, but
wishfulness too

Events      colors
take on a magical
gleam
The mind-body
frolics with actions
of...

The pieces of peace were handpicked
Picked in the heart of the night 
Shredded for an aspiration 
To clutch the lone torch contained by the dark
A glimpse for some unusual rank

Then comes the arrival of time  
With the angst that grow by day 
Comes the...

Temple may be far from my place,
Let me bring smile, to someone’s face.

Life began with a sweet charm,
enjoying till extreme, no matter what harm.

Childhood was beautiful as could be,
Without exasperation and necessitate, eternally free.

It was then I took a new dive,
Adorn in a uniform, I...

Live lovely looks
Bright blessings book
Craze consigns crook


Oomph orders ooze
Beer bottle booze
Senile sense snooze


Go gather good
Mix motive mood
Fashion fine food


Leapfrog lame lines
Flavours frame fine
Muse mellows mine


Do design deed
Free fragrant feed
Waste wallows weed


Live lazy light
See sparkling sights
Blooms blossom bright


Rush rescues run
Play prunes pure pun
Sight scotching sun


Seed spacious...

Birdsong serenade
Sun beams streaming;
Abrupt illumination

~~~~~~~~~


Food mall gallery
Tempting flavours;
Sensational buzz

~~~~~~~~~


Busy feet scatter
Muddy puddles;
Rain water gushing

~~~~~~~~~


Humid weather burns
Dehydrated faces;
Scotching heatwave

~~~~~~~~~


Severe flu bout
Head dizzy drowsy;
Coughing frustration

~~~~~~~~~


By this bench
Watch busy people;
Pursuing taut agendas

~~~~~~~~~


City fringe footpath
Workday buzz zigzags;
Toils and pursuits

~~~~~~~~~


Old couple walking
Stop to review signposts;
Figuring the way home

~~~~~~~~~


Old man sits...

‘When only the satellites are spared in the distance
And the mother ship has lost her spin around the axis
When our last personal effects are launched in a capsule, 
And we’re all gone, is there proof that we had a soul?’


My wings span Armageddon’s aftermath 
Feet...

Crossing thresholds of blooms and dewdrops of glorious spring,
Toward autumn proudly walks season-bride with golden ring;
Her costumes, robes of ballet dancers, as per scenes, changes,
Facets of nature alter her charm to cosmic ranges...!

Scotching sun transforms mossy leaves, to golden-churns,
Clement breeze, once exited the stage, into...

DUSK
In the famine ravaged lands
The atmosphere is pregnant with uncertainty
Of what tomorrow brings forth
A herdsman leads his malnourished goats
Into their pens with their fable cries barely
Audible as hunger pangs strike ferociously

Carcasses of starved animals carpet the roadside
As the aura of starvation fills the air 
Leaving...

Must Savour the First Rain

Like love, it comes after a long pining
The smell of the first meeting
Of the falling water and the fine soil
Reminiscent of my first lick of love
Disarming my otherwise guarded heart
Lost defenses to the soothing art
Of the complementarity of the scotching soil
And...

I listened
The sound of the gushing waters on the rocks
Soft sounds soothing to this troubled heart
Soothing and mending
I listened
My soul is yet at peace longing for more
Why is it so demanding so wearing?
Why is it so exhausting? Heavily I breathe seeking to catch a breath
Why...

Scotching heat, burning sand
Curse this never ending land 
Though we walk, we walk in vain
Thirst of life bringing us pain

We search for life's great oasis 
But nothing in sight, no relief found
Just the sight of skeletons that once bore faces
And dreams buried into the sand

Dreams...

Short Snort of Scotch

We will be going on trip week from tomorrow
And a bright idea I recently tried to borrow
Must be careful making sure I don't botch
By forgetting to bring along a bottle of Scotch.

Finally the ship so sleekly away had sailed
Everyone had to pass...

As far as the eyes can stretch
Sand shines and glitters white to torment the eyes
In the ocean of land barren without life
A determined line of black souls 
Forges ahead their efforts
A sole upon sole they entrust their all
In an optimistic advent to redemption

The skies above...
