O, hair of fairest mahogany
indubitable piece de resistance
of her lifelong monogamy
Time slips away like sand
As I try desperately to keep it in my hand
The days go by painfully slow
But months speedily flow
And I try to hold on to the vestiges of youth
But in doing so I deny the truth
So many chapters written on pages
And so many lost lessons from early ages
It seems like the more I blink
The deeper into the sand I sink
Wondering what I might have missed
As each day I feel like I merely persist
The passage of time is cruel
But also an indubitable rule
Youthful exuberance fades as I age
And I feel like a canary in a cage
With clipped wings I may no longer fly
As my beaten down body makes me cry
Grays in my hair, lines on my face
Gripped by despair, I'm out of place
But the days still go by painfully slow
As months greedily flow
The hourglass was once full of sand
But all I want is to flip it over in my hand
He has an appointment,
In the Big Smoke,The Great Wen
and if successful I will of course provide indubitable support, keep in touch, on occasion visit.
He reveals "It's with an artist."
"Wow, anyone I know". "What's the job?"
"Unlikely Dad, but he's massively respected in his field....tattooing. It's not an interview. I'll be back tomorrow after he's finished."
Following realisation all I can muster is "Cool" a poor attempt at acceptance.
We go through the expected. Surety. Who? What? Where?
It was always going to happen.
A music production degree without body art is, I believe an auto fail.
And deep down I wished it was me, confident, carefree, au courant,
Once I possibly was, so I'll tell him it looks sensational, cool.
The brass hands of the clock, turn without
any effort around.
It just gets the job done, yet makes nary a
single sound.
It functions which indubitable grace and
ballet-movement ease.
For you see my friends, the fortunate clock,
does not exist to please!

Life is an origin creation
Death is a final destination.
Someone says, life depends on humans' fate
But for me, life depends on how you to create.
Thinking how to against the destiny
But in the end, you'll need to face the reality.
Says, fate believers have faith like an open shrine
Like life as nice as fine, death as a destined sign.
Fate exists, but it is not indubitable guideline.
Like some spiritually martial I read and saw
Within the operation of the heavenly devine law
Even the best destiny will have always some flaw.
The world is always moving.
The universe repeatedly rotating.
Like strength and weakness are hard to separate
Life and death will eventually meet.
Human is mortal but perpetual
Soul is mystical but eternal.
Both of them are imperishable
As life and death unceasingly cycle.
Tulips and lilies never smelled
so fragrantly inebriating
by the lake of the half-moon,
I sense the ineffable mystery
of an alluring and serene evening;
remote breezes so unforeseen
and unquestionably redolent
slightly touch the motionless surface
of the silvery and bluish lake so comely
and limpid while drowsy oaks and spruces
sway their long and thick branches...
as if silence were an act of reverence!
In the deserted town strangely
someone sits on the bend of the lake
of the half-moon as he stares
at the luminescent Northern Star
striking the strings of his guitar
with his skilled, young fingers...
suddenly everything harmonizes
with his beautifully played melody,
but he's so amazed by the splendor of the lake
of the half-moon that he doesn't hesitate
to join the invisible nightingales to praise
the indubitable presence of the Creator!
An outstanding young man I know
Had job and career in tow
When the lockdowns broke out
First his boss told him his job had to go
Now his job search is painfully slow
The young man's future, an indubitable doubt
It's easy for me to lean back and sayeth
Trust in God, my friend, Keep the Faith
~ His family members weep, cry and pout
In Aussie-land dwell the marsupials
By night they paint the town connubial
They make them a joey
Named Zoey or Chloe
Neighbors jump for joy indubitable
First and foremost on the agenda,
would be to locate an affordable,
casual and favorable eatery
tubby agreeable to our taste
indubitable choice without
(any formal dress code),
nor further haste.
Strait away to the great weigh
(or if vegetarian – whey)
station of delectable food
where the exquisite, expertise, and exotic
high steak king a claim on Michelin Guide,
Gayot Guide/Gault Millau, American
Automobile Association, Forbes
Travel Guide reputation good.
Testimony to legendary praise
explaining why patrons travel
for countless days
transforming him/her
into steady state,
where he/she shuffles along
in a dishabille quotidian famished daze
far and wide culinary craze
out of this world wide web, the wispy Lyft
wafts trace steamy filament up braise
our noses,
whereat heads nod affirmation i.e. ayes.
Even before making a glad entrance
(into Restaurant) complete
a host of fresh, enticing,
and delicious aromas serve as a treat.
Delicate, foreign, hefty indescribable
ole factory stimulants delight
infiltrating thru swinging kitchen doors
holding us smell bound,
though thin filaments invisibly light.
The world in generality
as to the knowledge of known knower
in between reasons, senses and perceptions
is a matter of clarity
on becoming merry
as oppose to being merry
The matter of worldly parameter
is of dictating representation
of liberating indoctrination
in attaining truth
despite the contingent sublimity
and deciphering the apparent symbols of parables
in order
as if by fashion
to arrive to an indubitable state of merriment
A Foreigner in a land of chicanery, can't see the forest nor
destiny aimlessly adrift tween dusky skylines searching
'pon comet-like nights, 'neath the shine of absurdity
mistaking stardust for certainty, there was an inkling
once upon a brief interlude 'tween misconceptions,
when the sun ravished moonbeams and earth split
its gravitational force wrenching an indubitable forfeiture,
examining life from otherwise similar sides of continuum's
unfathomable folds, careening beyond askew gradient elucidations
into abstruse significance 'midst hallelujah inferences weeping,
misleading each sway of deceptive constructs yielding complexities'
mid psychotic beliefs, invariably questioning timeless persuasions
How like a prison is my cubicle;
A prison,a trap, a cell,a place of fear.
For humans,this is truth indubitable;
We need to roam ,to see,to smell,to hear.
Yet in the bureaucrat realm , we must observe,
The rules laid down by generations gone.
And from their ancient code we cannot swerve.
Even if by rules we are undone.
Did Euclid discover how grave was a bath?
Did Moses fear to see the burning bush?
Did Einstein follow someone’s else’s path?
Did Socrates give voice to utter trash?
Imprisoned spirits are to revolution called.
Lest by Ariel they should be mauled.
Breads and tea of molasses
Young is Loitering to and fro in this station of gatherings.
Purchased breads but want tea of cheap molasses.
Limitation of money disbursed already.
Now want to take cheap tea but not so easy.
Do not feel like eating anything.
Just he arrived in station at early in the morning.
Where he is to get sure he does not know.
Likeable person but he has no taste to go.
Thickly populated station of sealdah where he watches people.
In search of money and food is indubitable.

Youth,
Zeus’ thunderbolt of vitality, you are,
The volcanic eruption of vigor,
The very incarnation of liveliness,
Your passion unrivaled
Your spirit indubitable
Your enthusiasm insurmountable
On the horseback of your dreams you
Are galloping
Unafraid
Uncompromising
Unstoppable, to the ends
Of the world,
Overcoming every fear
Demolishing every boundary
Obliterating every division
And
Running always ahead-FREE- with a speed determined by
Your eagerness to
Do all
To see all
To know all
To conquer all
BUT
You are not realizing that you, inadvertently, are
Heading towards what you do not wish for,
Something you so greatly despise,
That your heart abhors and
Your spirit dreads: OLD AGE
However
Do not… despair my young friends
For
The privilege of getting old, is something
NOT bestowed on everyone!

They must have thought that I was brought here to do the numbers....
Ninty-nine's einsteinium square dance razzle dazzle then you shuffle a masque ?
Halloween arrived although ushering in an unknown, mutation towards
These centripetal forces ? Ancient's prophecy to bring into fold of trembling
Foretold standing at their threshold love's thresher; combatant the messenger
If all else shall fail ? Indubitable, unto His heavens as her Angels whom know..
Quietus with hands full of good tidings this heart and a golden marionette ?
Crossing inevitables Mason-Dixon line; cyber space Spirits humanity; poetics Waterloo.
