Premium Member The Relief of Death

Death glares at me from its mighty tower
As I knelt in front of it
In utmost submission!

Life is harsh, whispered I to it,
Life is tricky,
Life is a trap
Being encaged in a human body
Feels like being drowned at sea,
While, having at one's ankle,
Millions of weights attached!

Death glares at me
Its breath foul
Its eyes fuming, 
The expression on its face shining with disgust,
While its lips remained sewed in resigned silence!

Life is harsh,
Yet compelled I am to live it,
As my soul has dues which are to be paid to the Gods!
Amidst all the hurly burly of Life,
Though,
You remain my savior
You shall free me,
And of your freedom,
I thirst, like the unaware seeking a cure
To their blindness when they realize not
That, in this world,
Nothing shall save them!

Death, you, though, remain my savior
I renounce of Life as I renounce of the Eternity
Of faith,
I renounce of the Heavens and I also renounce
Of the mysticism which filled up my glass bubble
As I walked on an Earth which was adamant in 
Proving to me at how false it was!

Death, I await your strike in my life
With an urge as desirous as a woman in love,
Naked, sprawled on cold sand, in the darkest hour
Of the night,
Burning and pining for your comfort!

I know that after your touch,
Nothing shall remain of me
Not even remnants of my soul
But then, this nothingness is exactly
The relief that I seek!


My Precious Blue

When surrounded by gray fences
In moments of stark empty hours
Amidst anginal clouds of thought
Compulsion to crawl into cave
I suffocate and grope for you
My lovely blue...

When in the midst of brawl and shriek
I am robbed of my water and sky
Am lost in the hurly burly of my mind
The boat almost sinks in rough sea
I pray for a peace as quiet as you
My tranquil blue......

When I am in lonely soul
The birds are in quest of feathers
The skeleton stares me in the face
The light confined to its darkness shroud
I am in deep need to pursue
Your friendly hue, my warm blue....

BATman and Robin


Awe & shock bowlers in the dock our warlock & glock “the judge”

Rapscallion and stallion wrangling with dangling golden medallion 

Facing the pacing battalion on our latest sinking Caribbean galleon

Our burly oracle with each follicle so curly a rock that won't budge


In that 90’s dungeon Robin our classy curmudgeon brassy bludgeon 

Truncheon fine dining on a hurly burly Courtenay & Curtly luncheon

Calms alarms and qualms delivers us from harm with stoic heroic psalms

Call to arms more like baobabs than palms those offside charms “the Judge”


Speedsters scary & lairy others wary prime time for our hairy chest fairy

Robin our pace Pontiff willow ace not a whiff or a riff or sniff of what if

Believers in his jobbing levers will go biff in any tiff that's the pith of Smith


Not just a county squire but quite possibly the ultimate Hampshire Sire

Calling card hit it so hard earned the fable label of both BATman & Robin

Hall of fame name can’t smudge hats doff to a complete one off “the Judge”

A Dance of No Tune

Twisting up my body emboldened
Hyping my spirit to Planet 9
Thrusting gently my soul to an off beat
Jerking up my feet in no fete
Throwing hands in the air

Moving my carcass to an unheard hurly-burly
Heaping up dance on my hips
Humming to a tune of no name
Shaking ones head like an Agama.

Until my Fibula was aching
I became hyper-active
For what, I queried myself?
For a dance of no tune
Indeed a Fandango only of the Spaniard. 




This time in Samonda, Ibadan.
In my quest to situate the 46 years
Independence Anniversary of Nigeria.
We are dancing to no tune in particular.

Through Their Eyes

Pressed firmly a shoulder against brick wall
Arms that are folded and feeling quite tall
A hurly burly of a lazy man
Only works if he has to or can

Frustrated waiting for the big check
Drank the last one quickly red neck
They only come once upon time
Delusional angry and outside so I'm

In and out my mind does wonder
Try to control the other guy under
No money for meds and mad hatter is he
Unpredictable this matter will be

Hoisting two sacks the postman will meet
But which one of us uncertain the greet
Passing me by with no check in hand
Off the stoop on postman he land

Franticly struggling to loosen the strap
Harder and tighter the handle did rap
Doesn't take long the postman is limp
It's back to me the original wimp

I don't understand the reason for action
This guy was good during every transaction
You'll never know by meeting us guys
But we'll see you through these killer eyes

Mischievous Ashes Quips from previous trips

Blowers basked in causing quite an iffy stir with his devious quip & slur on a previous Ashes trip…mischievous when tasked Customs asked do you have a criminal record, Sir ? 

Delicious not really malicious..the Aussies beaten by the squiffy mellow spiffy commentary don from Eton.. as he did bellow in a jiffy "why my dear old fellow..do I need one?"

The blizzards of OZ.. team and crowd are bullishly proud about how it’s not allowed for them to be kowtowed..having the fizz to do the biz in any tizz..so crass..brash and loud.. Vultures

Which is why I still enjoy how that blonde boy.. sometime fool or tool & England envoy Lord Fauntleroy (yep Gower) did annoy .. as public school cruel did rule..

Dave did wave from his Ivory Tower...mean as Jardine made them glower when asked what he thought about the cricketing war between two powers & Cultures..

Like a lush lefty skied cover drive…the plush curly exponent hard as he tried couldn't hide enjoying the moment & ride...

As a proponent of some early hurly burly.. made them smart..denied being snide but slyly wryly and dryly replied without hesitation

The baronial blondie or country squire fondly did chide and deride with his aside..

Did confide the question implied but lied that there was actually factually a plied allied Culture..

Or indeed an applied appreciation of art in this dire Colonial upstart nation & his opponents entire side..

Premium Member Daydream

Meandering memories 
move through my mind 
like a river flowing   
to the salty sea. 

Limbs stretch lazily 
reaching skywards 
like the gangling 
branches of an ancient tree. 

Standing still in 
the solitude of 
suspended time; 
lazily picking flowers,

the hours melt away 
as I daydream in 
the field of fantasy. 
Flicking fancy fecklessly. 

The rasping of the siren 
in the run of the mill 
over the hill startles me 
and I am roughly returned 

to normality, garishly. 
The harsh light of day 
refracts its neon rays; 
stinging rays destroying 

delicious serenity. 
Daydream done I am returned 
to Hurly Burly Street, 
and the hurrying feet 

running the relentless human race. 
Individuality lost 
without a trace in the 
salty sea of faces; 

fixed expressions as they 
cling on to the roof strap 
in the hurtling underground 
mundane.  Multitasking. 

Lost in the murky flow 
of commuter traffic 
which has become their life. 
Set me free again to daydream. 

Release from the race of rats 
we unintentionally run. 
I find some fun discarded 
in an overflowing bin 

and sneak it into my pocket. 
Around my neck a locket 
containing happiness 
and daydreams .....

Bazbally


Bazbally…inspired and fired by venerable Peter who does attack the arty farty and gives flak to the illuminati Papal cabal party and also banal Baz for well just being cack & tarty..(he christened it "Bazbally")


Latest pundits gambits

Now spits from pulpits


At first plenty of plaudits

A mystery tapestry knits


Well we were the pits

Early hurly burly flits

Hasty but tasty titbits

On a whim best Test bits 

Bazbally’s greatest hits


Magic to tragic habits

Us prissy about its zits

Fame & then hissy fits

Grim became dimwits


All the same tatts on ti*s

Can't tame the squits

Blame big name gits

Insane vain inane remits

Twa*s annoying as nits


In a latrine our game sits

Willy nilly silly billy skits

Alpha male tale derails splits

Ben zen again got the sh**s


Nation shrinks in Baz’s mitts

Identikit kinks but no edits

Cheeky winks at us Brits

With flash brash affidavits

Stinks thinks we’re all twits


Series sinks through the slits

Fans issue cease & desist writs

All along Key & ECB also culprits


They gave out Bazbally permits

Should vanish banished hermits

Then the wrong Kiwi quits!

Now It Begins

Mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing,
  apple , pumpkin pie, the parade winds puffing
and Santa Claus will soon come,
  a day of football, relaxing for some
others hurry baking and pressure cooking
  while children stealing treats when no one is looking
and lovers are canoodling as coffee is brewing
  with a prayer, a toast, a glass of wine
what a wonderful time.

Here it comes, be careful now
  resist the temptation to hurry out
do a little gift prep early
 of treasured sales in the hurly-burly
wait, before the season starts popping
 and stores galore are open early for shopping;
take this time to embrace the gathering
 of time and experiences shared in jabbering.

Thanksgiving for family and friends
  get-togethers, laughter and memories on end
take a picture, two or three
  of recall for the family tree
of good times, tears 
  and wonder at the quickness of passing years
hold it close, hold it tight
  before these precious dreams take flight.

The Judge Rest in Power


Awe & shock bowlers in the dock our warlock & glock “the Judge”

Rapscallion & stallion with a gold medallion on a sinking galleon

Our burly oracle with each follicle so curly a rock wouldn’t budge


In the 90’s dungeon our classy curmudgeon brassy bludgeon 

Can’t begrudge won’t nudge or fudge never a drudge trudge

Truncheon dining on hurly burly Courtenay & Curtly luncheon

Call to arms more like baobabs than palms it is “the Judge”


Robin big breast disarms with charms Test bowlers flogging 

Logging in to his noggin not one for jogging just silky slogging 

Speedsters scary & lairy others wary time for our hairy chest fairy

Strike hogging quest while the others just dobbins doing bobbins 

Pacemen lobbing but no fobbing iron will still run robbing Robin


Smith no hobnobbing or gobbing but not a whiff of a riff of what if

Believers in his jobbing levers will go biff in any tiff the pith of Smith


Made from sterner stuff but always a learner on a bunsen burner

Did bewitch but off the pitch a hitch.. life after cricket not as rich

Strife was rife and as things got rough couldn’t scratch that itch


Baobabbed wizard mocked Windies blizzard grabbed it by the gizzard 

Calling card hit the ball so hard seems that BATman was really Robin 

Not just some county squire but maybe the ultimate Hampshire Sire

Hall of fame name can’t smudge hats doff to a one off “the Judge”
