Premium Member Snake Charmers

When the snake charmers walk along the lanes,
The excited kids follow them in chains.
Holding their snakes in round baskets and pots,
The charmers search for the suitable spots.

Wear specific attire for they have flair, 
Grow handlebar moustache, long curly hair; 
Keep hoop earrings, zari turbans on heads; 
Put blobs on foreheads; hung bead chains with threads.

Sitting cross-legged in front of those pots,
Grabbing our attention, untie the knots. 
Carry their flutes made of dried bottle gourds,
Play their music notes, expecting rewards.

The serpent rises from with its hood up; 
They move knees to the snake; a right set up.
It sways hood and makes hissing as if charmed,
Charmers too believe the same and affirmed.   .   

How do the charmers run the show freely?
Are they not afraid of them really?
The backdrop secret is ignored and skipped
The poor serpent’s fangs are almost ripped.

Premium Member abusers and trolls smile too

Some of the most charming people in the world
are trolls with mean dispositions they hide for months at a time
They like to date lively, joyful, women
These charmers are lovely; saying the right things
Tricking these women into falling in love with them
After they capture these women, they attempt to isolate them
Doing their best to keep them from their families and loved ones
Stating their friends are not “good enough” for them
Making fun of their woman if she wants to see her “mommy” or “sisters”
Beware of anyone who wants to isolate you.
They might smile, and you might have seen charm from them
But beware. Abusers and trolls smile too.

Pouch Poetry 1-4

hereunder is served some poetry pouches full of love, 
dear reader, stir them as you like, 
if you wish you may crack them to pour into mouth, 
you may smear them on your body 
or you may sprinkle them on the ground 
and then chant the name of god 
with love and enjoyment

1.
the simplicity that rolls down 
from the body of the sweet-meat 
made by my mother 

let it bring light 
to our radish-red love-story 

to hear or to notice 
love 
does not need 
putting an ear on the wall 
of the wall-street journal 

the bottle could be filled 
from the voice 

when you go to fill the bottle 
you would see that everywhere 
the arrangement of picnic is ready 

when i want to take part in that feast 
my neighbours would drive me towards 
the home  

although i’ve spent all my life 
running behind the love 

2.
who’s won the muddy-battle
was yesterday’s politics

my addiction is actually to cater 
the pouch of love
to develop all vitamins
and all bathrooms

people say you don’t love
the claps of the rats

yet i’ll come down 
from the branch of a guava-tree 
as a wave-of-shopping-mall
to the lake of your love 

now i’ll jump out 
from this computer screen 
to register a kiss 
on your lips

don't miss to applaud 
by clapping the hands


3.
the heart is half-sunk
in the window 

to some extent 
in the lipstick too 

on the dinner-plate 
there is the feelings of the lord 

that means 
i’ve to be burnt more 
i do agree 

i would become 
the sculpture of khajuraho 

this happenings may have been 
the right search for love 

on either-side of which  
a green is being worked out 
by the nostalgic-cycle 

whose colour-texture is very much harappa 
which has too many geometric-memories 

4. 
an undertone is speaking 
from within the solitude

now i’m in very much 
distress

or i’m in love 

i don’t know my love is what-for
may be that’s an arrangement only 

so easily are those interactions 
stitched with words 

strenuous or effortless 
in flight 
initiated 
with seclusion 

but when in the sinking of the playfulness 
i  write the games of the street-charmers 
 

the birds again and again 
pierce the archery 

thus becoming ashes 
through travelling 

in time-gaps still 
the audacity to compose poems 
on you

Premium Member Padded Wall Earth

Build a padded wall around the entire earth.
We've become one giant insane asylum. 
For which there's no cure.

While you're at it.
Hang a neon vacant eyes sign.
For everything has turned the deepest shade of blind.
Right has turned into wrong/wrong spliced into right.
We've become the galactic idiot-a universal blight.  

That's what happens when you replace growth. 
With a quick-fix prick, Charmers and anorexic influencers.
When mountains of youth are glazed with victimhood.
Unearned accolades -no accountability balm.

There's no longer social sedimentation. 
Between the saint and psychopath.
God is flipping us the dirty bird.
While searching for his misplaced wrath.

EMILY DICKINSON: INNOCENT GENIUS: PART 2

mailed copious letters to friends 
acquaintances, a couple to publisher 
to elicit opinion which poet 
perfection used to examine  
acute    as hesitation extracted 
Darkness games  ——   Emily’s
intuitive aim put Robin Hood to
shame      exacting was her Veracity 
brook too clear to cross calmly near
So —  this divinely embodied  
Spirited Crystal lowered her sweetie 
eats to children below her window 
not resisting her feats      Giggling 

Family and contextual wealth a 
gift from Lord Above    though parental
closeness not too well fulfilled —-
adoring Austen and Vinnie jelled did 
she      Su as sister-in-law she could 
not but completely open her door to this 
endearing Core so smart     with Presence 
tangoing  too impressive —— that rumours 
abounded intimacy illegitimate 
           …
Flowers as neutral nifty charmers
Untainted with emotion her favourite 
Devotion —- in perennial garden 
Emily laboured with them advising 
floundering pistils        In own 
orchards, fresh fields and woods 
she knew them all as Inspiration
on willing call        Spring or Fall

Emily —- an ember clear without masks 
ambitions, mirages    illustrious Lily light 
from yonder
authentic her magnetic innocence sought 
no validation     Circled by Knowingness 
within Singularity 

sovereign her poems into Infinity 
is sown ——-   for near on two 
centuries we now Crack her
Marbles which into booklets poetess 
stitched
  —- those on ink and under iridescent 
skull nourishing West Cemetery 
in Amherst      dispersed

Emily’s  ‘I felt a Funeral in my Brain’
STILL making Headlines 
dying for Beauty surrendering 
to Truth      Penetrating pure her vibrations 
across grey matter
                  She watches me

Premium Member Man's Bestest Friend

Golden Retrievers are the bestest friends
They'll love you no matter what
Even if you've just had the worst day ever
These charmers your heart will touch

Their wagging tails are a good indication
You're their favourite supplier of love
They're also aware you're a supplier of food
There's no higher friendship above

They're the bestest friend a man can have
They trust you to the nth degree
Treat them kindly, they're almost like people
Except when they need to pee

Then they cross their eyes and cross their legs
And dance back and forth, to and fro
But they never complain, just motor along
Unless of course you react to slow

Golden Retrievers are the bestest friends
They'll love you no matter what
They'll love you even if the sky's falling down
The bestest damn friend you've got

Premium Member Garden of Beauty

Bell-shaped English Bluebells
Violet face of lilac landscape

Charming tints of scarlet
Exuberance of Maple Red

Red, white, upright Tulips
Preening of vibrant spring

Whistling breath of wind
Kisses swaying Daffodils

Laden droplets refracting
Gleam of rose-petal gems

Bluebird’s pine-needle nest
Home of blueish green eggs

Crocus purple flowers
Amethyst glory of jewels

Scented Lilly of the Valley
Blooming white charmers

Rainbow colors of Hyacinth
Jewels glinting window sills

Spicy fragrant Dianthus
Apex of prized decorum

Premium Member Love Poem Goes South

I wished to find the words for you - so beautiful and dear,
The pretty ones that you would be so happy just to hear - 
And when I found the very bestest, selected just for you, 
I’d put them into a poem’s lines, so they would ring so true. 

It took time to find these charmers that like to hide from me. 
“Queue up in a line”, I said, “so my beloved can see!” 
But these dumb clods never do what I command them to. 
This is the silly way they lined up to prepare for you to view:
“Soft like silk, a lullaby, a rainbow, an azure sky, 
Verdant woodlands, a butterfly, snowy peaks, apple pie.” 

“You must tell her what she means to you and what is in your heart. 
I’m afraid this is not good enough, it’s only just a start.” 
“We’re walking out”, said these dopes, “of your love poem, I’m afraid.
What you are asking of us stiffs is over our pay grade.” 

It was then I thought, with these mad guys, I should make amends.
If I cannot command them, then perhaps we could be friends. 
And so, my dear, it’s time I fear, to pause and to regroup. 
Because these words have turned on me and turned this poem to poop.

When you hear a voice in the wilderness
That's tempting you in hours of loneliness 
Remember the strength that was shown by Christ
In the desert those forty days and nights.

Demons are alert when you're at your worst
They'll come along when you hunger or thirst 
When you feel that life is losing sparkle
They quickly jump in, dodgers are artful.

Rogues are charmers who appear day or night
And we are tempted when a demon strikes
We're only human and induce mistakes
Throughout life's journey goodness is at stake.

Coming along with evil will at heart
Their aim is for fine folk to fall apart
Devils in disguise is what demons are
Feeding off the meek alone when it’s dark.

We’re all aware who the evil beast is
So why do some find it hard to resist
Refuse and stay strong, be thou not a fool
For fools rush in and forget all God's rules.

When you hear a voice and there’s no one near
Pray to God and He’ll allay all your fear.

Radio Killed the Vaudeville Stars


You had to be there. Literally, there.
Just hearing it removes the third dimension.
Necessity's the mother of invention?
Idea-whose-time-has-come must be the père.
But how can you replace the footlights' glare,
the acrobats' contrived, but visceral, tension?
You can't. So much is lost in a mere mention,
that wings its way to us through colourless air.

They once were princes. Now reduced to strugglers.
What use is wireless to ventriloquists?
Where did their future go? There are no answers.
The dole can never compensate the jugglers,
or anyone whose acumen consists
in sleight of hand - snake charmers or tap dancers.
