Last freedom day

"Even if it was the farewell, on the last day, everyone was busy giving poses and clicking photos."

Who knows when we will meet again?
Or will never meet in this life again!
If we met, then time would have changed,
Blood same, but person will be changed.

Better to remain far from everyone,
But close enough to archives everyone.
To be remembered we had a great time,
Strange to friends at memorial time.

Now I wake up the same time as for school,
But now I am not a student more of school.
Meeting new fresh ones is the rule of days,
But I am stuck in back old school days.

No one would have remembered!
When was the last P.T. period!
Might be more likely to be remembered,
When was the physics period.

Freedom was all we were asking for,
Realised for whom we were asking for!
If it was meant to be over in a day,
Then why we remember moments in a day.

A day of reunion is not enough as twelve years,
But if we met will discuss the same years.
At the end will pose seeing the camera,
And the photo will forever remain in camera.

Premium Member Adieu Peat Briquette - Ephemera

Eco fuels at home are warmly cherished,
obligation calls and duly heeded,
in the past a smokeless coal,
allied to peat briquette the norm,
a less than ideal medley I’d agree,
I have this last briquette in camera folder,
on the day it was eventually disposed of,
an ahh moment if there ever was one,
Yet I cling to reminiscence round a warm hearth,
with my sister Jay’s wondrous glowing orb,
how she giggled so infectiously at will,
as intense vivid red flames leaped,
deep down inside we knew this couldn’t last,
a rubicon of sorts  had now been crossed,
one final soiled clump of history,
that would resonate deep into late life mists,
our family clustered gaping in amazement,
at momentary flight of era toss on film,
an eternally preserved instant fetish,
some poignant flashback a capsule

Obscura

through the lens darkly piercing the vail starkly 
past the thin veneer of the world into the next, past 

the bones of this incarnation and gravitations greed
through the lens of the past, reflexing into the future 

of a world never known or understood, a thin film on paper 
the chemistry of magic steals the essence of life

the taker of souls, the reaper of the unknown
that dwells in this little black box 

divided nine by nine inches in wind-carved stone, nails did shone
all distilled to a flat land of infinite horizons in black and white 

a realm reflected of our own, a dimension of light and no sound 
forever frozen in the images of an imagination transfixed by the wrath 

of shadow and the burning divinity of light in camera obscura 
the details of god and creation, n legions of neither realms 

forever emblazoned upon is an object of de art 
packed away in this little black box

Sadly, Shutter Speed

When I was new in photography,
I was hoping an adventure;
But by the end of the day
Just a lecture.

Then they picked up camera,
Aimed at a deer.
It captured even food stuck in its teeth.
They smiled and said,
“What slowed down the dear,
Is shutter speed.”

At home, In front of TV,
I was just lying.
It cried, “Tonight,
Meteors will be falling.”

At night, It struck,
I picked camera
And then woke up.

Waited whole night
And got a line,
Captured in camera.
Next day, at nine,
I presented picture.
They looked with no heed,
They smiled and said,
“All black, sadly, Shutter speed.”

The Public Privy

My phone a private gadget
Sweetheart-
My dress a private garment
Sweetheart-
My weave a private attire
Sweetheart-
My Sop a private program

My roam private trekking
Dear-
My wallet a poach in heart
Lover-
My calls meetings in camera
Baby-
My texts unpublished docs

My utmost toast -
All of this belongs to you
Except what I've said not
This wrist dear you for
This private your public lot
Sweetheart-
I love you  a lot


A Day In Denali

The phone app said "unhealthy"
To describe Denali's air.
The sky was gray and smoky
All the hours we were there.

So we were disappointed;
Thought the day would be a bust
'Til somebody hollered "Moose!"
Our brakes kicked up a heap of dust.

A mother moose and baby
Ambled by in camera range.
Then an antlered caribou strolled close - 
Our luck began to change.

More caribou were spotted
In the distance, in a herd,
Then a sharp-eyed passenger yelled out
That much-awaited word:

"Bear!" We all looked over
And a grizzly came in view.
He lumbered in the bushes 
Seeking berries where they grew.

Our fortune held - the driver spied
A most impressive lynx,
Who crossed the road both back and forth.
(Just showing off, methinks.)

A final sighting- quite a brood
Of willow ptarmigan
(They're the state bird of Alaska)
Got the cameras out again.

We saw no sheep or eagles
And the sky was far from blue.
What a treat, though, watching wildlife!
(And they never even knew...)

Let's , Climb

Let’s climb the mountain top,
count stars with the passing night,
chat until our throat hurts,
laying down all fear,
with naked soul.
Gaze into my eyes
show me your thoughts.
Take me to sunrise
and  l'll brew coffee,
capture our togetherness in camera to visit time after time
Make art from mere words.
Lets share our passions to burn together.

Beauty In a Box

beauty in a box
look at her blush
we dream little foolish dreams of her
she just smiles and asks for coins
her hair dyed blue and silver
her eyes dyed green

her pouting lips curl
at the trash mouth who talks in such little letters
you rebound with compliments and roses
little gestures she gets all the day long
little men in camera frame
dark ones and bright eyed sultry ones
tumble out onto her soft bed
like clowns falling from their miniature car
see them laugh see them cry
all little men come calling roses in hand

beauty in a box
watch her rattle round
comes close to the camera
kisses blown soft velvet and neat
her laugh tenderly in my ear
i linger in her eyes and see sunlight there

Misdemeanor

A war was on,
(psychological)
to transgress the unwritten line.
Me, stranded on the 
sands of time. 

Day after day 
shaven heads in protest 
erupt in fury.
Firebrands join like 
ducks to water.

In camera, you 
open the folds of mystery. 
As we start reading script, 
the wounds were mine, 
and you were the sounds.

On the table, I put my 
eyes, ears and my 
father’s shoes. I come 
out in open, to take 
a shower of abuses.

Catch As Catch Can

Fat balls
white stitches curve a fast sun
      SLAM      arcs to anxious
brown leather skins.

                         Batter up!
     
Sheepskin rolls
come to age in camera points
      POP      flashes to jubilant
boyish grins.    Next up!

Fat rolls
duffles pitch in pointed darkness
      BANG       target anxious
leather skins.

                       Soldier up!

Cameras

Single eyed the cameras,
Talk on click,
Smile on flash,
Save in memory like people,
Speak the truth,
Trusted witnesses,
In camera like their names!

I Live For Her

Cinnamon and apple fill the air 

Scent of Gram's famous pie

Warm fire roaring in the hall

Music turned up for all to hear

"Vivo per lei da quando sai
 La prima volta l’ho incontrata,
 Non mi ricordo come ma
 Mi è entrata dentro e c’è restata.
 Vivo per lei perché mi fa
 Vibrare forte l’anima,
 Vivo per lei e non è un peso.

Vivo per lei anch’io lo sai
 E tu non esserne geloso,
 Lei è di tutti quelli che
 Hanno un bisogno sempre acceso,
 Come uno stereo in camera,
 Di chi è da solo e adesso sa,
 Che è unico per lui, per questo
 Io vivo per lei....."

Thoughts of you ring in my mind

Playing the music in my soul

A burning desire

Making my heart beat strong


Vivo per lei

I live for her


My warmth, my breath, my soul

Taking my lonely

Making it whole

My heartbeat, my strength, my home

From the depths of my heart

to your soul

My vision, my meaning, my know


Even though far, we really are near

Oceans apart but I feel your touch

Sweet music is all that I hear

Whispering I love you so much




*** "Vivo per lei" by Andrea Bocelli ***
