deplorable dismal diseased diabolical demon
extracts evil endeavors to execute and exclaim
farfetched fertile fantasies fetching fervent followers
glaring gleaming gobs of glistening ghoulish gems
harmful harrowing harbinger of harmful high-jinks
initiating imaginative incentives into inconquerable incantations
Mr Wems Temmy!
Riding on a bicycle...
Will you want to carry me?
Mr Wems Temmy!
Jump on!
Miss Blessing,
Jump on!
Mr Wems Temmy!
Every stroke
On the pedals
Is against my will
To move on...
As the echoes
All in my head
Keep radiating
Her voice like voices
Of unrest frogs at night
Her words poke
My legs backpedals
Motionlessly still
Conscience swan
Heartbeats skip airflows
Mouth's words unsaid
Opened up initiating
My mind's closet choices
Into an awesome delight
Lonely, I share the mystery
Dancing to the echoed tune
Up with its low tone going high
Nouns into verbs imperatively
Makes me mastered them all
Yet absent is the face that speaks
Isn't this mind adultery?
Thinking of sandy wind's dune
Near the lake of my heart's sigh
Romancing her far mind imaginatively
Of how possible weather naturally fall
Cum constant changes techniques
Upon this weary thought
My mind embraces the puzzle
Of every tight filled storm fought
Watered mind's sighs thoughts guzzle
And again, I heard...
Mr Wems Temmy!
Riding on a bicycle...
Will you want to carry me?
Mr Wems Temmy!
Jump on!
Miss Blessing,
Jump on!
Mr Wems Temmy!
Know the stakes before the Show.
Risk all; let it go!
Courageously make that climb
Bring your spark in time
Life is much more than a walk,
A picnic or a jog in the park.
There's a Duty-Call from Above
With Truth, Life and to trust.
It's The Essence; the core to the crust
"But I don't understand!" you say,
"What would be the cost to pay?"
Authenticity: be faithful and true
With just the glimpse of happiness in you
Like fireworks bursting in air
Reveals The Essence: that we care!
Life and changes are hard
But fight regrets and fear retard
Be on an expert and responsible team
Persevering, sharing God's dream
Like a child inquisitive,
Learning, initiating and sensitive.
The Essence is also like a mother
Jumping up to help another,
Being sweet, kind and genuinely you,
Making others better too,
Bringing out the Best, no doubt,
With no time to "Chicken-Out!"
So live in the Essence
By your heart, in every sense,
Sophisticated, elaborate and extravagant!
Covering over us God's Love is bent.
You will see a new and better plan
If only to be still and listen you can!?
Song of life starts from the very childhood
initiating symphony with prelude.
supposed to be sung in parental care.
Mostly nice, yet tune may be sad , though rare.
Interlude is the sweetest part of song
to be enjoyed in youth, though not too long.
Busy, active, vibrant and dynamic
Ups and Downs , staying enthusiastic.
Old age is last portion sung on postlude.
Tone in low, slow, morose mood to conclude.
Know the stakes before the show.
Risk all; let it go!
Courageously make that climb
Bring your Spark in time.

Imaginative idealists, Inez, Ian and Inkwell Ida
Illustrious industrious iguanas from Fiji Fida
Invited intelligent Ivan to invest in indigo ink in coveted China
Industries in Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Idaho
Indicated to Inez, Ian and Ida this was the way to go
Informing ideal initial investors from Froffits
To imagine their insane ideas initiating profits
The success of a family
Is not based on talent
But by virtue and passion
Love is the nucleus that mend
All the relationship that binds
Every member to keep in touch
And contribute the welfare of everyone
Commitment is the first advantage
To make the ties strong
Loyalty is the energy that goes
Everyone's affection keep burning
Cooperation is the connector
That makes every member jive unity
In making things end meet
The success and failure of the family
Depend upon the leader that is working
Planning, initiating, and executing fairness
Intelligent, divisive and good governance
In making life, business and relationship
Alive, attainable, sustainable, dependable
Harmonious, relatable and fruitful life.
Big Bang exploded in void Cosmos.
Instant happenstance of Start
of Space -Matter- Time
from compressed Energy
initiating Cycle of Existence.
Life somehow sprouted from non living sources
resulting versatilities in Nature.
Soul staying in slumber state
was ignited in the cycle of existence.
Dormant consciousness hidden in soul
starts in womb through birth
termed as ‘Life’.
‘Life’ continues to run till ‘Death’
transcending to ‘After -Life’ phase
and streaming in cycle of existence
obeying conservation of energy.
Each soul is framed to
fit somewhere in cycle of existence
within closed contour
of Pre - Present - After Life :
Subject to Evolution,
Energy -Space - Matter - Time
Life - Consciousness- Soul :
Each rolling rippling
in the Cycle of Existence.
Waves
Signposts of division
Obviousness..
Thoughts arising of
Waves not separate..
Larger ocean constructs
Resonating stories
Initiating spiritual paths
Meditations
Sequences for arrival..
Or..this tsunami
No separation..full stop
And the magical paths
Thoughts and
Waves...
Kamala Harris is America’s choice
Able to give Americans a voice
Moving us in a positive direction
Announcing Donald’s deep infection
Learned her position from the best
Anxious to put policies to the test
Harris will make America number one
As she brings back the shining sun
Recovering what was taken away
Reminding everyone how to play
Initiating a woman’s right to choose
Silencing those that brought us blues

SADNESS
Sadness is as a burden of a whole City
And worry, a skillful hunter of the mind's happiness,
With nothing to enlighten, but tiny ignorant voices,
initiating desolation in my lost but reviving mind
And stirring a battle in my soul's calm.
But still, I see a glimpse of light, a ray of comfort, for if so, i shall embrace.
Hence, how will I unladen or quench of myself the roars that seek to rid me of my attentiveness, for if with my worries and doubts what shall be of me but pains?
So i reach out to the hands of nature's calm and earth’s comfort
For I shall plead to myself to find my own peace amid these fears.
