Escapades
ESCAPADES
inescapable
the
clarity
illustrated
in the
mysterious
erupts
to
illuminate
that
hidden beneath
the enigma
&
perplexing
&
teasing
to transform
the
meticulous
detail
the
challenge
the
unfailingly
humdrum&
monotony
of existence
a
faceless
lifetime of
masquerade
unsettling
decades
of
tedium
episodes
appear
to visualise
then
retreat
before gathering
a raisonné
so enjoyable
akin to a
vivid
&
memorable
sojourn
a
passage
int
eccentricity
with delivery from
the
chaotic
&
deadpan
contemplating
the impossible
reflection
in
a looking glass
of concealed
questions
curious
cryptic&
fragmentary
&
cheerfully
chaotic
on its
own merit
readily
accepting
the challenge
& never
resting
a nuanced
memorial
so
superbly
typical
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Stillness
Stillness
The stillness of the earth, after the rain,
Takes my breath away, once again;
Your memories at rest,
My soul bequeath;
Those forgotten days,
Reminders of the haze;
Scars in the heart,
Barring the art;
The flow of emotions,
Became a halo of notions;
Those heartfelt things,
Were nothing but ruins;
Some escapades,
From my failures;
Beautifully carved,
On the canvas of life;
Presented to you,
My mistake;
Will try not to,
Repent what

Escapades
You being with me,
escapades wild and crazy.
Silliness and laughter
remembered after.
You, so mischievous
fun and frivolous.
Dreamed of deliciousness,
bewitching blissfulness.
You being with me,
escapades wild and crazy.
Sexy and sensual ,
spine-tingling festival.
Your dangerous grin,
angel eyes, devilish within.
Captivating, charming
dashingly disarming.
You being with me,
escapades wild and crazy.
Champagne effervescence
your soul's luminescence.
Like tapestry design
our threads intertwine.
Lively and sublime
you, my once in a lifetime.

Escapades
Blurry e-motion
Waiting on words;
Upheaval swirls
Meal time posture
Food court harvest;
Same old stuff
Chinatown fringe
Walkabout excursion;
Hot humid weather chokes
Word for word jazz
Relevance juxtaposed;
Poignant verse strains
Book store punctuates
Tucked in a corner;
Niched following
Verse genres ply
Moods and variations;
Starling change surprise
Clap books monochrome
Small print runs;
Modest readership circle
Works on offer
Book bargains tease;
Second-hand relevance
Simple repast
Eat when hungry;
Flexible meal duration
Migraine fatigue hits
Siesta to

China Escapades
Charm wears a mood with profound cheer;
Here by the way I sense a touch;
Ink words on wood parchment right here;
Notes just to say I feel so much;
Align my state with heart and soul.
Etch fond feelings now deep within;
Sense that sure gate with impulse whole;
Cheer wears knowing with thoughts unseen;
Appeal to voice that seems to know;
Pluck

Summer Escapades
mud pies and hopscotch
played in the sand
nurturing guidance
from my Daddy's hand
butterflies and flowers
my dolly and toys
I left them behind
to be one of the boys
tattle-tales and trouble-makers
were sent on their way
imagination and laughter
filled most of our day
sibling bonding
performed with a scream
singing and sharing
and home-made ice cream
no crying nor whiners
no time left to pout
fearless from sun
