Shell-Shock

A new dawn,
Unveiled hopes and surreal ecstatic.
The smiles on their faces,
Heralded news, 
The folks were delighted.

It was worth every ounce of struggle.
Though, a dilemma.
Afraid of separation.
Yet, desperate to experience the journey.

The ambience compelled me.
I was finally seen off,
I was on a voyage to satisfy nature's balance.
Now I learned the way of flying.
They had fed me once, now the tables had turned.

The man I was had been called a coward.
They celebrated my bravery now.
Decorated badges shone and made them proud.
I lost one and two things to earn it.
Was it really worth it?

The grasp of my anxiety grew.
On a bright sunny day,
I was summoned by a great war.
The fallen heroes' cries haunted me,
They never let me close my eyes.
Though I dodged death,
My mates did not.

When consciousness returned.
A stream of blood filled my sight.
Decapitated bodies, blasted arms,
Eyes bulging out of their sockets,
The fallen were the luckiest.
One who lived was burning in hell.

Men begged me to put an end to their agony.
Our eyes shed blood,
Tears dried out.
I wished to shoot my brains out too.
The nefarious haunted site was too much to bear.
"I couldn't" I cried ....

A bullet shell dropped beside me.
I had killed my own man, or had I helped him?
His heart wide opened, and my shank.
My shin mangled, my eardrums burst.
"Medic! Medic! Medic!"
A few men rushed and took me away.

I only saw them talking but heard no word.
Certainly they would cut it.
The pain fainted me right away.
A chunk of metal cost me a leg.

What would a hurt man do?
Run away to his folks.
So did I.
The smile on their faces now faded.
They hardly talked about their dream again.
Blames encompassed a loop.
Still celebrated as a hero.

The shell-shock and vivid imagery of the war,
Ran through my mind every now and then.
I never slept again.
Trapped inside a war I had never waged.
It had now changed my periphery of life.
I despised it.
The fallen were the luckiest.
I couldn't even stand on my own.
I barely opened my mouth, only to be fed.

There it hangs, my greatest achievement,
So the folks claimed.
Why did I live in guilt then?
Was it to hide my sins,
Or to make me feel proud?
The barrage of questions and bullets,
Never left my conscience.
I may have quit the war,
It still ran inside my head.

Sleigh Dream

Bundled in a horse-drawn sleigh  
warm and snug on Thanksgiving Day
the children restless, we went on our way
as the shedding forest began to sway
and the gusts of wind set astray
the vestiges of autumn's display
that unveiled the cabins along the bay
 
Past weathered barns fraught with snow
and over covered bridges would we go
through the misty river's chill
turning toward the cider mill
its churning paddles frozen still
past the farmsteads and withered fields
the ghosts of bounty that harvest yields  
caught in a breeze of burning leaves
and all the reveries the season weaves

We arrived on main street after sundown
gliding through the charming town
toward the chiming white church steeple
past the storefronts curbed with people  
in the wake of the gingerbread float
at the stern of the Pilgrim's boat
behind fairy tales and candy lands
as the revelers sang with clapping hands
to the music of the marching bands

From the celebration would we emerge
from the flowery, spangled surge
to behold a wondrous sight 
as geese took flight into the night
over the sea where moonlight sought
to quell the hues that twilight wrought 

Frosted lamp posts lit our course 
and into a trot sprang our horse
his hooves and harness jingling bells
as if to the tunes of sweet noels
while from the shops whose cozy glow
projected windows on the snow
there flashed the goods someone will leave
under a tree late Christmas Eve
the toys and clothes wrapped in bows 
and all the gifts that a stocking stows

Now past chimney smoke and picket fences
nostalgic aspects that stir the senses
where old Victorian silhouettes are found
and gestures of goodwill abound
toward the sound of waves we wound
as our lanterns flickered on the ground 
the atmosphere around us festive
while within full and restive
or nestled by the fireplace
or with their heads bowed in grace
folks enjoyed a simple pace
while outside others strolled about
amid the maize and wreaths throughout 
absorbed in a twinkling universe       
of colors snow-clad and diverse

To our delight there soon arose
a savory ambience for the nose
adrift from tables set with care
with a redolence that met the air
as we hailed the last of passersby
and climbed the road into a sky
whose stars adorned the snowy limbs
to a house on the coast, flowing with hymns

Doyin

I
Yours is a mystery no mortal man can comprehend,
and your name which I mistook for my sister's, is a riddle
that would remain unsolved…
I have searched and searched within the recesses of my heart
since we parted at the crossroads
to know why my heart suddenly fell
like a fly into the spider's web, like a creditor's call
on a debtor's door,
like rain on a sunny day for you (a stranger)
on our first coincidental meeting,
and why it never stopped falling…

II
Weird as it seems,
the resonance of your soft contralto voice
lingers in my head
as if it were moments ago, and I feel
the reverberations against the daunting din
of the crowd that encompassed us…
The image of your slim black body stands in my mind's eyes
like slender palm on a bar beach, 
and the perfect projections on your comely face
reminds me of my mother in her prime
when maidens prided in the sanctity 
of their innocence
and thinking of you lulls me to sleep, to daydream 
youthful dreams of her
in whose shadows I weaned…
Doyin! Lightfooted archer* on the wings of fate-
the suppleness of your black skin and your matchless manners
are true reflections of your untainted roots,
and the playfulness in your cultured tongue exalts you
amongst the silken daughters of Eve
(and are mere reminiscences of our first meeting)
How can I define your superlative beauty in verse?

III
Doyin, you are not one of my sisters,  you are not my mother's daughter
yet, since we parted at the crossroads,
I have been in despair longing for the overwhelming ambience 
of your sisterly warmth,
to hear the sound of your tender voice resonate
in my head down to my heart,
to feel the enlivening breath of your inner bowels,
to rest beneath  the sheltering canopy of your hair, and 
be enlightened by the magic splendour 
of your bespectacled eyes…
Doyin, I long to bridge this river between us
to reach the enchanting realm of your refreshing countenance 
and dwell therein within
the friendly fountains of your heart.
But since we parted at the crossroads,
and you went your way while I stood watching,
the image of your fetching figure 
lodges in the chambers of my heart like a golden fleece

IV
And why my heart suddenly fell for you
I cannot tell…

Was it for your fetching figure or matchless manners?

I still cannot tell

I leave it to fate…

Promise of My Feelings

So many promises I have for you
Enormous things I want to do

For me, you are always the best
I will choose you and leave out the rest
I wish success in this eternal life test

I wish to construct for you a grand paradise
You are a dear angel, I present you this heavenly prize
Inclusive of marvelous holy ambience and divine fragrance of peace
This abode of holy settlement will be a mighty eternal bliss

Your life I shall celebrate like a precious princess
I would make you understand how much I can impress

If you have pain, my life is in vain
Your pain trigger my tears to drain
If I see you troubled
My troubles in life are doubled

When you have sorrow, I can sense it from a distance
From over the seas and across the mountains

I experience the strength of this eternal relationship
As I dive into a nostalgic world of emotions so deep

When you need rest, make use of my soul
With your divine presence, please make my life whole

Just like an electric bulb clings to its holder
Till the time it is fuse

Request you to use me as your sacred place holder
Please don’t refuse

Just like a bulb lights the room
Eradicates evil darkness and gloom

In a similar way, you make me shine
With your graceful love so divine
You make me bloom
And enable my life groom

Please place me inside your heart
I possess a pure heart free of dirt
I am neither a fake nor any flirt

Your image occupies every frame of my mind
This beautiful mind inspires me to shine
Such a unique feeling I can never define 

I will learn your language to ease your constraint
Now please interact with me evading every restraint

I accept all your essential terms and condition
In the holy institute of your life I just seek admission

I borrow your tears and make them mine
Please accomplish my life with your love divine

Your dreams are mine, I aspire to fulfill them
I curse your sorrows and put them to shame

I will escort you wherever you wish to go
To the high hills and to the low

When you feel tired, I will give you rest
I assure you to be better than the best

I conquer your tears and convert them into smile
I will make your life beautiful and worthwhile

All promises for your life I wish to fulfill
I am eager to accomplish this holy mission by God's will
I feel curious to witness this everlasting zeal….

Thank You

Mini Drama: Sturmabteilung 2

Nearly ten o'clock, Capitol Hill, inside the SCIF (specially designed for classified purpose): House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff was hosting an esoteric hearing featuring a deposition with Defense Department official Laura Cooper as part of Impeachment Inquiry into Dotard Trumpery. Suddenly a fit of ruckus flared up from the outside, increasingly nearer and clearer, then followed a string of desultory sounds of pounding upstairs. What's up? What happened outside? Over the puzzlement of those present, Schiff roughly learned about this supervention from a subordinate's brief report. He signed nothing perturbable and said: "It's the Gofers of Payolas that are crapping and monkeying around there. But do not panick! 'cause they're exactly aiming at the witness and me. Of course, the witness shall be put under rigorous protection, yet the rest may just stay here and sit tight." Then he turned face to Cooper: "Ms cooper, let me call over several robust escorts to ensure your personal safety." Cooper, remaining unruffled all the time, delivered to Schiff not just an assuaging declination but her deontic assertiveness: "Never overestimate those cowards. For most of them, the best way to varnish their guilty conscience is to howl loud, the best way to compensate their courage privation is to bluff big. What brings me here are the respect of law and truth, the loyalty to oath and duty, the faith in nonpartisan justice. But what brings them here? The blind deference to bosses, the obsessive wariness of watchdogs, or the browbeating practice against opponents? Just go your usual way, and go free of their distraction." "Oh, great! your frankness and bravery!" Exclaimed Schiff, getting up to seek to contact Dem House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Right on cue, a few barged in, clamoring that the hearing lacks transparency and picking out electronic devices for its livestream with later nearly a dozen more joining them straggly. Although the hearing had to come to a halt due to the gofers' brazen violation of security rules, the present ambience scarcely turned tense, just plunged into weird vibes of twisting steadfast normalcy toward a kind of peculiar hocus-pocus that had continually sprung up from a handful of hopped-up harlequins who were hell-bent on hamming it up.

The Fire Inside Me

As I look out at the streets,
I feel the chains around doesn’t set me free
I don’t realize what is it burning inside,
But that’s something like a fire inside me.

I feel my adrenaline pumping, emotions pouring in
Can’t resist the suffocation around, want to flee;
Somewhere far away where I have fresh air to breathe,
Is this all because I have a fire inside me.

I decide to take some steps in the street,
Checking my skills to sceranate the perjurer, the deceive;
But then I realize, I’m lost in the crowd of chrematist,
And this sudden irritation fuels the fire inside me.

The end of the street brings me to a mall, I enter;
I feel the change of ambience is what I need,
But the sight of mates and spouses pricks me,
I cognize what I can’t share, the loneliness I live in;
Half of me is burning because of the fire inside me.

Slowly the tears of pain accumulate in the throat, 
Which fails the pain of starvation to resurface,
Still I want to concentrate on my meal with certain,
But the dried up soul in me is like a furnace,
That has no control over the fire inside me.

I realize that I’m standing in the middle of nowhere,
Just wanna a take a path out of this misery;
I struggle, I suffer, I grave things on paper
Yet I find no peace, no salvation that can
Or has the power to extinguish the fire inside me.

After burning the lamp oil for the whole night,
My eyes open up to see the room filled with sunlight,
I can’t agnize when my suffering took the shape of consopition,
But in all an all I find a feeling of satisfaction has taken over me,
As if something has managed to control the fire inside me.

Now things where becoming clear for me,
As if someone has put me on a path to lead,
I gathered my dear ones and planned an outing in brief,
And left the rest on the situation to seed,
So finally I learnt the art of directing the fire inside me.

On a happy note when things were going on,
I felt the importance to appreciate the rage,
The anger, the suffocation, the demands,
Plus all the things breathing in me, 
Which were nourished by patience and tolerance
Had finally taught me the lesson to control the fire inside me...
The fire inside me......... The fire inside me.........

The Bandits Rendezvous
By Franklin Price
9/1/2019

Once upon, a Far East time, in nineteen sixty eight
The GEEIA squad made history on a non-remembered date
The plan had come together to build a club house new
When it was completed, was named, “The Bandits Rendezvous”

All the parts, to build it, were scrounged from miles around
Taxpayers did not pay a dime to raise it from the ground
The name not given lightly when it opened on that day
At the south end of the squadron a base called Cam Ranh Bay

Our scrounger, whom I will not name, got a jeep, for quarts of rum
From a needy alcoholic, there were a few where we were from
Had it flown down to us, in a Hercules with space
Then drove it down to Phan Rang where another trade took place

The jeep was traded, for a truck,with wood to build the core
Some was traded to the Navy, who poured the concrete floor
Soon the walls were standing and the roof was on the top
But the inside of it barren, and,. for sure, we could not stop

The middle was an open bay. The ends were spacious rooms
We made them into places that were far from storage toombs
The south room had a large teak bar, flown from the Phillipines
The north a full blown kitchen, a place to cook our steak and beans.

Parachutes adorned the middle bay, to provide some ambience
When we had our first unveiling, brass was invited to the dance.
General McConnel came, he was the Air Force, Chief of Staff
Along came other Generals, not the lowly riff and raff.

Don't remember any congressmen, no congress ladies at the time
The drinks were flowing copiously for opening this crime
The General gave a rally speech that made us all so proud
It was in the early evening, we were a drunken, rowdy crowd

When the night was over, and I staggered to my rack
I marveled at the place we'd built, from our scrounger's useful nack
He was right there with us, was a pirate, having fun
In the club house, “Bandits Rendezvous”, when all was built and done.

That's my story, I have told it. That was fifty years ago
The statute of limitations, has run out, for all I know
It was all for entertainment, yes, was all this glitz and glam
It helped to be creative in that place called Viet Nam

I expect nothing more emphatic

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.”       Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi  

I am a garden of Monet
thriving amidst
watercolor wilderness,
mourning the death of greens.
In pursuit of peace, where lilies
are tangled in tranquility, 
I let my eyes slumber,  
allowing my thoughts to wander  
through an iridescent landscape  
of unnamed orchards,  
outlined with moon diamonds~
flickering luminous beams
upon my melancholic mind,  
that remains a nomadic sojourner,  
traveling through shifting time,
like kaleidoscopic roses,  
splattered across the milky-way.

Happiness is more than  
just an illusory noun  
engraved from electric pens,  
by passionate poets in quest of  
a chivalrous expression,  
intoxicated by ethereal imagism,  
woven when life unfolds  
a mundane cycle  
flowing with razor-sharp regrets,  
where we drown, paralyzed and lost  
within somber phrases of serenity.

Yet, I refuse to pirouette like  
a lamented leaf fleeting  
above flowerless fields.  
I am an amateur artist,  painting 
my sadness in captivating genres,  
my brush is like an 
odyssey of rainbow petals,
steered by a sleepless muse,  
selflessly guiding my blushing heart  
to sculpt sorrow with periwinkle dreams.
There I find blissfulness within  
the butterfly breeze 
of sakura sunsets,  
falling upon my breathless ink,  
longing to be traced  
in musical tenderness,  
illuminating this spiritual connection,
set aflame by embers  
of fervent devotion,  
dancing across the smooth sky of  
sanguine seas,  
where tides of infatuation  
rinse away ripples of remorse.  
For in this world of woes  
I found a lyrical line  
and turned it into an  
illustration of sensuous sonnets,  
emanating love and light  
when metaphors have no meaning.

O sage silence,  
in your unsung melodies,I found  
a haven blooming with honeysuckles.
The sun and moon synchronized  
into an amorous ambience.  
Now I rest my angst 
on pillows of endearment,  
embroidered with sweet solace.
You will be the last summer  
seeping along cinnamon 
strings of my silhouette;
the aurora warmth to 
my frosted dusk, forevermore.

The Jumpsuit

See them walking around the city in unbridled fashion that makes them feel jittery, soft and loose in their custom-made jumpsuit; they went shopping in high heels shoes wearing perfume that you could smell from a distance. 

The threads are woven evenly and the seams at the front are explicit, it makes them feel like saucy peppers spread on top of a sedated platter at the Ritz. Lips painted in bright red colors and body soaked in lavender balm and the aroma oil extracted directly from the maple root saturate their bodies in time for the truth. 

The ambience of room with the filtering smell of spring ushered in from the tropical island engulfs the room and increases their appetite.

In seconds their bodies caught fire and saturate their innate desire, it swept quickly through the room leaving a stained passion on the bed, shouting in joy and laughter from the top of their head. They wrapped their bodies in pleasure leaving a diamond bracelet dangling at their feet and smiles that you could not compete. 

 The tall skinny one's parades down the street in their roll Royce limonene, fricasseeing on the back seat and disrupting the driver's heart beat, while courage stood up on the stand seeking ways to devour the guilty man. 

 The Jumpsuit has taken over the town and pleasures are floating around, the tightness has disappeared and the distress is laid bare, the people’s mind has loosened and everyone is drinking from the same cup.  

I pinch myself to see if I was alive for these images keeps flickering on the screen and it feels like a midnight dream; the fire is real the people are there and the bartender is  running up and down the floor and there is a long line standing at the door; everyone was wearing a jumpsuit.  

The paradise of hope lies on the brim and the wisdom of man is carried away in his sin and his naked appetite dangle in front of his pride and his lover stood briskly by his side.  

The jumpsuit is coming back on stream and everyone is writing for the big screen. You have got to have courage to fulfill your dreams, if you don’t have a jumpsuit go and get one now, the cold is setting in and your fingers will be numb.
