Female, I felt! Chirped differently than on other days!
As though crying and screaming in many ways
It might not be owing to the change of weather, I know.
Nor, due to the drizzles, visited its nest like a forgotten foe.
I, with my little ability to climb the trees, took the adventure
As though signing with the tree, a unique indenture
I could not find anything unusual at first glance.
Soon, I fell enraptured by a skeptically unsympathetic trance.
I could find something, like an ipomoea black heart vine, sway
And crawling towards the eggs that, like turquoise stones, lay
While I stood dumbfounded, I could witness the frail bird bounce.
And attack the intruder, and his death sentence pronounce
Silence shrouded my so-far self-complacent wisdom.
I backtracked, pondering over the powers of the bird kingdom.


Secret of My Desire

Quote: "From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent of my Beloved.
How can I help but follow that fragrance?"  By Rumi

She, an inhale of perfume on a summer day vacant as the scent of rain 
when she passes by, every flower mutes and bows to her aerial adventure 
truth be told she is the secret of my desire and she drives me quite insane 
when she dances the world stands still witnessing our private indenture 
she is the compote of my sweet thoughts, the reason I believe in love 

Her aroma a signature of passion, an undescriptive calling  to my senses 
when she sachets my way every star of heaven releases light from up above 
she disarms me with her smile and disarms all my defenses 
a bouquet of wild flowers in the garden of my dreams , a fantasy of love
she is the H in my big heart and the T of my tomorrows 

From deep within my heart I catch the scent of my favorite flower 
she is my best loved poem and sensation, she's my girl power.

Cliffs call me; yonder scenes to see,
Not to leave them dearest plains plea;
Seas see the senile sight and smile,
Heart yearns to fly free for a while…!

Faces of human beings here,
Appear clear as they are just near;
Seagulls seem seagulls; crows seem crows,
Flowers run reality-shows…!

Will the vistas same on high cliffs?
Will I see the sea and sole-skiffs?
Do snakes, instead home-pets, creep there?
Do land-sea touch, there, grip your hair?
=====
===
Cliffs stand silent; I understand -
Our holy brotherhood now banned;
Though being on land is pleasant,
Isn't beauty omnipresent?

And so I gladly adventure,
As though curio indenture;
Marvelous feelings venture give,
I could cherish when in grave live…!

O! I stand there; my world gets changed;
Outlooks get my thoughts re-arranged;
Each thing seems great gem of beauty,
Each realm reveals: God on duty...!

Guess Who?

She is one for the ages,
She graced a many a stage.
She is a Mother, She is a Saint
She is immortal, a miracle without restraint.

She draped herself in six yards of blue & white.
She gave her all, pulled all her might.
She said, these are the people of God,
She led towards upliftment, salvation, with her squad.

She roamed the street no one ventured,
She tamed the demons without any indenture.
She served among the poorest of poor,
She was the rarest of rare.

She knew no boundaries, borders didn’t restrict her,
She preached people before politics, others before self, in her edifier.
She with her diminutive figure, dulcet voice,
She with her passion & will, made the right noise.

She left this World a better place,
She left her indelible mark with grace.
She will be revered on Earth till existence.
She is immortal san question.

The Island

we sailed to the island, the island, the island
and would stay there evermore
with nothing to read but coconuts
and cocoa berries upon the tree
with no barber, Dennis or lawman
things could ghetto might strange
but we handle a leader (let's call him trumper)
trumper stood higher, and gave a screech
about a returnstile trip to sterilization
we stood up and jeered, Hooray, Hooray
but we be stripwrecked, cousin trumper, said we
what chance are we out in the farsighted lotion
where even the seagirls far outnumber us?
never minding that, he said we'll build a blue one
and us set about chirping down trees
at lust, the crate was finnish
two by two, we crumb aboard
and set snail for big indenture
to scoot for homely bound
but the beauty took on water
and we invaded to another shore
fierce sausages lined the bleachers
farmed with spearmints gone galore
we said our players, it looked like pretend
but the sausages made our breakfast friends!
brer trumper aligned a trick or treaty
the crew lived on believing children for eleventy years


Who I Am

When I was a child
 a mere simulation of an adult reconciled,
 in the body of a seven-year-old adventurer -
I'd be a scientist, explorer or a writer succumbed to indenture,
 as the storyteller, poet of what may lay ahead synchronizing,
 visionary hero of the future uncompromising 
out of the histories of some reformulated past stabilizing;
 guided by grandmother's heart and care
 taking in everything with no thought spared,
caught between the dream and its lesson wellspring
 and all the heartaches and happiness it may bring
 living, loving, measuring everything;
and here I am today, aged and grown
 caught by the ebb and tidal edges sown
 of where I was to go within its undertow.
I am the legendary me completed and formed
 in a legacy that is created by life storms
 satisfied and eased and at last at rest
knowing well - who I am today
 can be assured -
 I did my very best.

No Heavenly Delight For This Atheist

Bleak existence portrayed,
nonetheless this (baby 
boomer) hybrid dreamer
oft times evocative 
edenic reveries bekiss
mine psyche with pastoral trappings
evoking utopian bliss

on par with drawing 
winning lottery ticket,
which fantasy I quickly dismiss,
where dolorous voices within me hiss
mocking pipe dream compensating
for unlived life hide miss

whiling away hours
of young adulthood...
this threescore aged man did blithely piss
away enraptured with Swiss
Family Robinson fantasy,
gladly exchanging tsoris

entailing breathtaking adventure
versus sequestered bookishness burr
rowed nose engrossed
with page turner capture
ring imagination of this erstwhile drifter
addressing, fixating, and keeping coiffure

as disheveled appearance, where daily
father and mother showed me the door
particularly on account, cuz for one more
nanosecond, they could not endure
this healthy sole son vaping expenditure
as both parents toiled away,

they tired trying to swallow failure
while primarily main feature
of this poem lackadaisically
exhausted as an Evansburg Park fixture
(calling squirrels on first name basis),
no sooner this bookworm gave vague gesture

after setting foot inside abode - 'pon dusk
asper whereabouts, off
into bedroom I did immure
and disappear into story
maybe one about main
character pledging indenture

role as heavy footsteps shook
324 Level Road domicile infrastructure
awaiting the wrath
of Khan spouting ultimatums
our father/son rapport long did inure
a "NON FAKE" wall not immune

to malicious, noxious, vicious... lecture
to offspring who long outwore his
Harris Tweed Scottish welcome mat,
yet... feared testing nonsecure
mooring which familiarity bred contempt!

Premium Member American Student Debt Crisis in Two Sonnets

In school we're taught that laws will always last 
Students were told to chase a college dream 
Student debtors hoped their loans would clear fast 
Building a world where knowledge remains free 
 
High schools were praised for high admission rates 
When their grads went to famous colleges 
The government gave loans to fill the gates 
Knowing how the price of school increases 
 
Americans filled campuses with hope 
The colleges raised fees and opened doors 
Loans given with ease, but no way to cope 
Put weight on student debtors evermore 
 
This was a way to tie their futures down, 
Shifting rules, breaking promises pronounced. 
 
Women took out loans for grad school with trust, 
Believing promises their debt would fade 
Teachers worked twenty years in class, fair and just 
Yet, watched their balance grow and not be paid 
 
Their rising debt brought panic to their lives 
They sold her homes and cars to meet the strain 
Two decades teaching earned them money's strife 
And left student debtors with modest gain 
 
She felt trapped like an indentured servant 
Whole interest climbed despite her earnest care 
No matter how much she was diligent 
No money, no path to get her kids there 
 
Why must a teacher tell students to climb 
Weak ladders built on debt for endless time?

End of two sonnets, full stop. 
Shining gold afterthought:
Why encourage kids 
To indenture themselves
 For learning that should be free?
