I awoke from Illness at the age of forty-five, calm and lucid

I awoke from Illness at the age of forty-five, calm and lucid,
In reasonable health, with a weakened liver and a face of borrowed flesh,
The sunrise made its way through the window, settling on my shoulders like a veil,
As if, stepping out of the fog of suffering, I had entered a world forgotten for its beauty.

Flat Forty-Five

[Not strictly limericks as syllable count is out, 
But hey… be a rebel… ignore the rules!]
_______________________________________

I met the young lady from flat forty-five
I told her, “Your beauty makes me feel alive.”
She said, “My name’s Lexi.”

My heart beat as though it was in overdrive

She took no persuading to give me a kiss

Forty Five Pound Mood Changer

He wandered into the kitchen in a grumpy mood, so blue
Which lasted two seconds when he saw the friendly hue
Of twenty-one month old Derrick and grinning doggie too
No one could stay grouchy looking at smiles of these two

Their natural smiles lit up the kitchen in every direction.
Grandpa felt loved, and cherished, they exuded perfection.
He put

It was a whiteout in bitter cold.
             You think you fell, though you don’t really recall.

Petals of Forty-Five

green as foliage’s in the sun;
Beauties are forever.
resplendent as the constellation
of stars,
Sunshine's are gems, rare;
of creatures divinely clayed.

scents of tulips.
the charm, of a river nymph
fleshed-up in the graces of 
heaven - Sublime.

angels are known and felt before
the tick of one second;
You are one,
a flower with the big heart

An Occurrence in New York at 4.45 pm on March 25th, 1911

True faith, liberty, the flag,  our holy soil!
Is it the cause that grants the martyr’s crown?
Should martyrs owe this crown to tyrants or some evil foe?
Are  banality, indifference and callousness less cruel?

Three Forty Five Connection

Three Forty Five Connection


Wednesday afternoon? I don’t remember
Technology---helper drives me crazy
Not a magic mirror you brought me
Yesterday afternoon? I don’t remember 
Seeing each other, both were smiling

“Does he feel what I feel?”
“I guess he feels”
Or he..., “does she feel what I feel?”
“I guess she feels”
He brought funny staffs 
And I brought big smile

Both were disturbed

you got flaws, emotions that go up 
and down like a seesaw and 
promises

Forty-Five Minutes and I'M Way Ahead of You This Time.

Thirty minutes later. Two a.m. and I'm still here, I haven't forgotten......




Thirty minutes, tears are racing, creating clock hands that point to the edge of my chin,
trembling, my bones point only to the end and you, you're more than


thirty minutes late.



Screaming, I'm slashing my heart to bits, forty minutes now you've been screaming.


Forty minutes later,
