Chaos In the Whitehouse Jab One

Congressman and senators forewent 
all manner of civility, fidelity and integrity wii
hull ding broadswords, derringers 
and exhibiting the right to bare firearms 
as all hell broke loose as testimony
to the dire prognostication foretold 

more than saber rattling and Gatling guns que
kind from lambastes, fisticuffs 
and brickbats ratcheted up as agents provocateurs nee
said obedience to semper fidelis credo, coda and cock knee
stance when dire straits called for restraint 

against excess versus raising cane old hickory
i.e. Andrew Jackson latched onto when opposing with energy
plus verve espoused by fellow delegates, 
and his hologram ghost bloody

from battle scars outside and/or inside 
the halls of government where blows bashed
dovetailed elected legislators to officiate 
as angry birds viz brouhaha clashed
Federalist against their nemesis 

of the twenty first century 
during the term of Donald Trump 
who throve on the cutthroat frenzied 
internecine lawlessness dashed
to and fro, hither and yon 

any hopelessness for civilians to escape bloodshed 
spilled from without vaunted halls of justice, 
the approach of doomsday 
writ large as anarchy and mayhem flashed 
with uproarious coup d’etat,


Premium Member Halfway To Somewhere Else

[this was written to celebrate July 2nd, the halfway point of the year]


I've been called...
half pint
half wit
half awake
...and half a dozen other half-baked 
semi-insults that I have
half a mind 
to half-heartedly
ignore

I'm somewhere in the middle now...
mid-career
middle class
middle of the road
excess baggage in my midsection
dodging a mid-life crisis
I woke up in the middle
of a good dream

Told my friends I ran a half marathon
"so, you couldn't finish a whole one?" they joke
as I half smile
for some reason I half expected to be
half the distance to the goal by now
though the roadmap keeps changing
I'm happy to be
halfway to somewhere else

Premium Member My Alter Ego

I've had an 'out of body experience'
So you can't blame me for what I did
My alter ego perpetrated the crime
To do such a thing I'm too timid

I'm totally innocent of this heinous act
I'd have had to be devoid of all morals
Listen I still do have a few of them left
With that you surely can't quarrel

This heinous act of stealing a kiss
Had crossed my mind a few times
But being such a timid soul that I am
Never thought of crossing the line

So I plead 'not guilty' of any wrong doing
It was Oscar my mischievous friend
Tends to run amok every once in a while
This dude I'm always having to defend

But I give him props he's about to confess
To absolve me of any naughtiness
The only one thing I could be guilty of
Is fantasizing to the point of excess

The Chennai Floods - First Part

THE CHENNAI FLOODS - FIRST PART

Firstly the rains came calling cool
It instantly brought hope and happiness
For people relished the Celsius dip down
And hoped for reservoirs to fill to lips

But pretty soon the horrific floods followed
As it rained cats and dogs, days on end 
As monsoon turned to a tormentor possessed
And led many to many a sleepless night

The inevitable pain came calling chill and fast 
As roads and streets were ravaged entirely
And excess water submerged ponds and land
As waterways and drains could pass no more

The serious threat meandered in with a roar
With intense rains adding to the fury and more
Amidst storm, lightning, thunder on crescendo 
Emanating from deep depressions in the Bay

Then fear and scare all showed up all night
As water inundated fields and farms alike
And entered into houses and dwelling units
Causing widespread loss to assets and life  

The floods slithered in surely winding its way
Uprooting trees and destructing everywhere 
Cattle, dogs and pets perished soon, unsung
With hapless people of all ages, in a gloom

The engulfing darkness brought chaos, for
Gloomy conditions only worsened soon
With nothing in sight; except rising waters
Seething snakes and reptiles added blues

Trauma and melancholy, magnified manifold 
As waters chill, ran amuck human household
Swirling in; bringing great despair, in Cities too
Nightmare everywhere; yet nowhere to go;

The disaster itself was a Broadway show
As city and residences became a water-show
And in no time all hell had broken loose; 
Making waterways of rail and road ways too

The big losses came quick and fast 
As households washed off in a gaffe
And apartments and cars submerged
With basements becoming watery graves

Overnight and instantly everything was lost
Furniture, valuables, utensils and garments, 
Refrigerators, kitchenware, other gadgets too
Gold, silver, cash and documents; phones too

And then it was the death that reared its head,
As people drowned and went missing cold
Pitch darkness engulfing the misery in whole
People breathed their last; their grief untold

Oh my ing god

Its a Lava thick buisness that takes the bold print
Without a hint and leaves em clueless
Its cause the ruthless colluded and the thoughtful transmuted
Without a blind the Kind was instituted
Instutionalized with 20 crazy wifi passwords
I think they got in backwards
I think its like they were never gone
I think DEB called Debra and Debra called don
I think you underestimate my overestimation of our relationship
And how I explain in all the exact ways 
How I explain all the crazy .

Im sure by now you just wanna shoot me with that

So hold up, if im on one girl
You know its your ing fault for putting me through that
Its your express girl, its my excess girl
And we smile cause they act so perplexed girl
And they ask whats next.
And we say HETSEX

Oh my ing god

Premium Member Songs of Suppression

Celebratory stories of devotion to depression
are told not only in absence of light,
hiding,
but also in excess of dark,
fearing.

And yet we share an even less spoken silence
blanching out
in too many minor key inferior choices,
quieter voiceless chaos.

Songs of suppression
and repression
sing not only in not enough major bionic scales
but also in too many minor key interior choices.

Cosmic darkness issues,
and tragic minor critical voices
hold, and occasionally tell,
an already worn-through tale
of woes
longing to belong
together.

Depression
as also suppression
about feeling repression 
of healthier atmosphere,
gasping for stale dry air
too still and stagnant
for relationship to even apply,
much less Golden Rules and Ratios

Hopelessly going nowhere
unless perhaps more paranoid
about losing now
and even more sacred Great Loss
later

Repression seen 
and felt
through time's abysmal shortness,
stifling failure of love.

So,
our antitheses are sublimation
and healthy compassion
felt like warm harmonic breezes

Nature
inviting us to eat
and drink
and breathe
of Earth's quieter beauties
of JustRight,
Enough,
SacredlySufficient
for Now
and Here.

Blowing
flowing graces
become sea and seasoning winds
of ocean 
spring across Ego's smiling face
awesome Spring's light
swirling rains

Promising richer
and deeper 
Autumn breezing
spiraling
harvests.

DePressed Ego to RePressed Eco,
leaves toward compost.

Premium Member Lovers Drink

Tempting balm tonics reposed fantasist,
Panacea liquifies mirage views,
Crafts allusive lofts energies persist,
Twain heart's favor lips a desire to schmooze.

Elixir defines the gist of lovers,
Exposes the length of listed measures,
Hearts and souls, supernatural pleasures,
Cascade gifted juice as meant lips puckers.

Charts a course of innumerable sips,
Bottled refinery impatient lips,
Passion extremes supple to its excess,
Forward sweethearts immortal kiss access.

Tinctured herbs ripen souls remarkably,
Drink-filled lovers strengthen eternally.

Premium Member Gentle Whispers

Upon a downy pillow top 
I slowly close my weary eyes. 
A lovely aura enters in 
and whispers gentle lullabies. 

Inspired romance invading sleep; 
my spirit leaves it’s dream behind 
and journeys through emotion's realm; 
a lovers' pact to be defined. 

Enclosed inside seduction's room, 
exquisite candles light the night. 
A golden bed awaits our heat; 
entrancing music leads our flight. 

Her velvet kisses spark a fire, 
augmented far beyond restraint. 
Our hands caress, a touch that's missed; 
it sates our thirst like fine champagne. 

Desires are painted, thrills are etched; 
exposure rules this teasing game. 
As streams of pleasure warmly flow, 
we're lost in rapture's bluest flame. 

Composure flees as lust explodes 
and ecstasy's attainment is planned. 
We've set our minds to break the mold; 
dramatic thrusts have sole command. 

Propelling deeper midst the dark, 
constrictions grip with longing force, 
releasing waters from the dam, 
completing satisfaction's course. 

With admiration in excess, 
this partnership becomes benign 
and adoration takes the stage, 
our knitted essence deemed divine.

NATURE
        
       Nature flourishing versatile venerable careless 
           on eclectic evolution.
      It tries to cling or to mold or to digress
           on consideration.
     An unplanned yet precise, but blind process 
           on pretty perfection
     Flora and Fauna are nurtured less or excess
          or on extinction.
     Nature stops, moves, runs in specific style
         on own discretion.               
   
      Radical rational reasonable reality
           on high admiration. 
       Twined turbulence and tranquility
          on tough toleration.
     Simultaneous beast and beauty 
                on ***** formation.
       Amazing artistic adaptive ability
              on craving creation.
