Embarkation Upon Meditation

Embarkation upon meditation...

Believe me you upon manifestation
regarding Das godaddy bing linkedin
with avast cosmic consciousness
self induced light hypnotic trance
I become enthralled

unless wife disrupts intent concentration
calling out "Matt...Matt...Matt"
bajillion times Googleplex
(slight hyperbole for literary effect),
subsequently courtesy

disembodied voices
deliver poetic inspiration
without forcefully summoned,
rather gently coax (zeal lust lee)
amidst Smokey and Bandits spiritus mundi

plethora of discordant
indistinct jabbering murmurs
requiring exacting golong strategy
kickstarting coalescence regarding
faintest hint analogously harboring

shipping news a boat
reeling in catch of the day
thus, fingers snakishly
slither skitter, sidle
at greased lightning pace

across Macbook Pro laptop keyboard
feverishly unleashing
unexpected brainstorming tsunami
recalling steely apothegm
strike while the iron iz hot,

thus such epiphany occurred
moments ago - in case
ye heard "Eureka" shouted
loud, free and clear
without moment to lose

yours truly brooked
stream of consciousness
ignoring flash flood warnings
slapped down one after another
figurative pontoon bridge

all the while skirting
eddies, whirlpools, fierce whitecaps
fortunately hauling unexpected
magnificent linkedin kindled
sense and sensibility

yours truly rendered speechless
(most time non verbal when writing),
additionally hodgepodge mashup
offers no rhyme nor reason,
yet burst of pooled

imponderable gushing silent spring
(courtesy ghost of Rachel Carson)
currently did flickr
demanding immediate typing
though poetic license expired

please don't tell commission,
nor chief word den
these unpredictable eruptions
(most likely indistinguishable
turkey in the straw gobbledygook

to the untrained eye),
rather good n plenti
camouflaged indecipherable creativity
(nope, not even practiced experts
keen on esoteric etymological arts)

stymied to understand)
mine swiftly styled harry tailored
gibberish oh baying avant
(to assign long sentence  
upon Matthew Scott),

which "FAKE" premature ejaculation
incorporating poppycock mishmash
screened for your viewing discomfort
unbelievably came to this homeless tramp,
while he plodded across no man's land
with hud door hubble mojo risin.


Premium Member Reminiscences of Being Together

Snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling,  
                           Air misty, heavy ~ wind calm, serene, 
          Sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window glasses, 
                       Rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ 
                               A picturesque winter wonderland, 

                           Treetops embellished with silver ornaments, 
                             grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,  
                                          My heart is with you, 
                    Craving for the profound tenderness of your company ~
                                              If only you knew. 

                         At the first demure light of dawn, open my eyes, 
                                           It's only you I think of. 
                             In between numerous mundane chores, 
                            Multitude of unavoidable responsibilities, 
                             Hours of running meaningless errands, 

                                             I ponder about you. 
                       At the end of an arduous day, before retiring to bed, 
                              who fills my heart with magical dreams?
                                 You ~ and the twinkle of your eyes ~
                                              If only you knew! 

                    So far away, exuberantly exploring unfamiliar countries, 
                    You are immersed, building a meaningfully bright future, 
                               Surrounded by charming delightful folks, 
                Sometimes a mysterious dream may wake you up at midnight, 
                                                 You wonder why! 

                             I write and write, pour my deepest thoughts, 
                         My innermost hopes and desires, pains and agony, 
                   Spend sleepless nights until my eyelids droop in slumber ~
                                                   If only you knew!

Snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling, romantic...

                                             The Inner Voice

                                      If amidst a clamorous din
                                      We wrap a veil of quietude
                                    And softly listen from within
                                   In the depth of true solitude,

                                     If in the midst of multitude
                                  We seek a quiet discrete place 
                                    And wear on a calm attitude
                                 We may hear a low voice apace.

                                 Such a low inner voice, in sooth
                               Emerges quite deep from the soul
                                   And is the voice of real truth
                                  That is present in one and all.

                                For some the voice is indistinct
                                  Like that of a dull dreary fly,
                                  For others it is quite distinct
                                And comes from within as a tie.

                                   If in our own voyage of life
                                We are rowing a flagging boat
                             And with mindful zeal we do strive 
                                Amidst storms to keep it afloat,

                                    If we are in a fix, our ship
                                 To direct to the rightful shore
                          We may seek clues from those equipped
                           Or from those who we may most adore.

                                  Yet as the voyage is our own
                            We need to own the course of choice
                                 And surely we cannot disown
                              The just plea of our inner voice;

                             Indeed, the inner voice guides us
                             To the right goal we need to trust
                                  In the voyage of our own life,
                                  In the rumbles of daily strife.

Grandma Part 1

The morning dawned grey and cold
Shock and fear had taken hold
Blinded and struck by disbelief
We rushed, jolted beyond belief
 
I still remember how Mother screamed
As she ran up the stairs
To confront that of which I had never dreamed
A life without YOU
 
With trembling steps, I reached the door
Only to see you lying peacefully on the floor
Still, silent, small and beautiful, like a crushed rose
I saw her bleed tears of agony, as I maintained my rigid pose
 
Quivering within myself, I approached you
A purer countenance I've never seen
Even in Death, you were as true as you'd ever been
The whispers abounded, indistinct and immaterial
They had come to pay their respects
A few out of love, a few due to regret
 
They spoke of your virtues, about your contribution
As if they were items that needed distribution
You moved from reality, into a frame
Your essence lost, we were never the same
 
I wonder why you've gone, leaving me here
When I've lost that which I hold most dear
Your smile, your presence, your embrace
Things which surpass all praise
 
I remember when I'd ring the bell
You'd throw open the door, with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen
Now, when I come here, I wonder where I've been
For you, sickness and mood held no regard
For me, love was all you ever had
I'll never forget the meals, that you cooked so lovingly for me
Regardless of the heat of the stove, or the condition you were in
 
You always believed in me, more than I did myself
You backed me, when so many others had left
You taught me right from wrong
O Grandma! You were always so strong
Even when your hearing deserted you
You always gave your best
Without bothering about rest
You worked tirelessly, the way you'd done all along
70 or 17 made no difference, only YOU did
 
The house was your world
Asthma and old age had done their trick
For you, every pebble had become a brick
You lived a soundless life
Yet you were the Ideal wife
You were the spark in his life
You gave Grandpa a lifetime of support
50 years,  every step of the way
Until Death came to play Spoilsport
 
I remember the day, when I was but a child
How you soothed my tears, and held me close to your heart
I was secure, and nothing could keep us apart

Premium Member Songs Paused in the Tree

Since the elderly king greatly loved music, his court esteemed it, too;
As sun and moon smile on myriad colors, during the butterfly revue.

The king was well loved and jolly, with the queen, always by his side.
He ruled with caring. Like rainbow hued peaks, where indifference died.

His glorious reign had been lengthy, and the vast kingdom prospered;
Like the kingdom of regal, red lilies, blooming regularly as clockwork.

Fabled, flighty, fall days brought friends, on the spur of rare moment,
Often from faraway kingdoms, like night, after colorful postponement.

Fragrant night fell so familiarly, in the ashen shadows of flaming day;
As family arrived feelingly from France, like the heartfelt communique.

The king lived in the house of harmony, like ruby stars dancing in sync;
And green birds sang in its courtyard, under pink, lace clouds, indistinct.

Reliable raspberry sun rose rapturously, along King's Road of old roses;
Replete with robust raven cawing, like when confiding cricket discloses.

The king's musicians gave daily recitals, like the nectarine sun, shining.
Noble courtiers attended every noon, by windows of minty ivy, twining.

The 'orchid valentine beauty' fell in love, in frilly, red petals, cashmere;
As 'crown of thorns peppermint candy,' bloomed throughout green years.

'Miss Jekyll' blooms, sought places to Hyde, since all were colored blue;
While red 'spider lily blooms' spun silk, to be adorned in something new.

One day Old King Cole called for his pipe and bowl, and his fiddlers, too;
And they played as they never had before, like pink finch's sunrise debut!

All windows were open, green leaves quivering. Songs paused in the tree.
'Twas if nature were in hushed rapture, in bygone days, far from the city!

'Old King Cole was a merry old soul.
And a merry old soul was he,
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he,
Oh there's none so rare, as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.'

Premium Member On a Child Died

My dearest little Beautiful Butterfly!
It’s not so long,
Since the hasty hands of Time, 
Snatched you away from us, 
Abruptly, unpredictably... 
Time snatches away, 
Living as well as non-living beings;
He gives his alleged reason for his action. 
In your case too -
He gave his reason. 
His reason was very simple and sweet. 
He said he wanted you to undertake a pilgrimage. 
Toward- 
Discovering newer galaxies; 
Exploring higher horizons; 
Finding fresher pastures; 
Hovering over prettier flowers; 
Befriending beautiful butterflies...
This, obviously, The Time did,
In his most cunning manner: Death. 
I vaguely remember your beautiful, 
Tender, lovely frame lying wasted...
I could perceive, even though, 
As indistinct as a dream, 
Your late loving mother, 
‘An Eternal Butterfly’ who's no more, 
Hovering over you; 
Receiving you benignly;  
Holding you in tight embrace; 
Grasping you compassionately; 
Fondling you full of nostalgic yearning 
And longing and craving of, 
As though, endless ages and eras…
You were seen no more thenceforth.
I had been trying to console myself saying, 
You would be back soon. 
Why cry? Why weep? Why to wail? 
Yet - 
Willingly or unwillingly, 
Rationally or irrationally, 
Knowingly or unknowingly - 
Why this heaviness in me? 
Why this pain? 
Why this endless ache? 
Are these feelings and anxieties caused,
Owing to your momentary absence?
Are these caused,
Because of my inner feeling of fear, 
That I would be silent and mute, 
When I meet you again? 
Are these caused, because,
I have some debts to repay you? 
Whatsoever might be the reason, 
In my speechless unconsciousness, 
My mute, stiff tongue,
Mumbles a little prayer for you:
Grant Her Eternal Rest, 
O Lord!
May Perpetual Light, 
Shine Upon Her!
Yet- 
My inner mind whispered to me 
That you would come back,
As you are a butterfly,
Keep flying and fluttering around…
Hence- 
Before you were out of my sight- 
I just bid you a heartfelt farewell:
Bye, Bye, Butterfly!

Groundhog Day 2022 Or Forty Two Days Since 2021 Winter Solstice Part One

Already noticeably marked
increase in daylight
yours truly courtesy affected
qua heliotropic phenomenon
finds me noggin gently being tugged
upward and westward ho toward sun
after dark mine talking head 
rests downward and eastward.

Soon very indistinct
environmental intimations 
regarding onomatopoeic
ubiquitous murmurings,
whereby old man winter
ever so faintly
relinquishes, loosens, forsakes...
Judas Priest iron maiden grip
upon emergent biosphere
suddenly awakened when
Mother Earth generates

invisible signals transmitted
across world wide web
analogous to conductor
standing on podium
with baton in her/his hand
orchestra playing on cue
perhaps choice selection
Rite of Spring
work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky
or Flight of the Bumblebee
written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Soon dormant species will exhibit rebirth
out their linkedin hibernation
flora and fauna tentatively
begin to issue forth out their slumbers
shoots poke thru across terra firma
insync with twittering tweeting creatures
hint viz verdant and/or fecund potential
ready to burst forth and proliferate
instinctively trumpeting joie de vivre.

Sensational show stopping, eye catching
breathtaking... parade of sights and sounds
await buzzfeeding eyes and ears
about six weeks hence,
within mine home box office
here at Highland Manor apartments
quite affordable rent
allows, enables and provides
radiant quiescence, preponderant observance,
nonresistant magnificence, jubilant innocence,
exuberant deliverance,
concurrent buoyant abundance.

Accordingly and allegedly other than
meteorologists plenti schooled
ascertaining onset of temperate air
more particularly otter den non humans
unassumingly (ferreted out), who bear
the tidings, when that season

of rebirth dawns with crystal clear
blue skies, and terrain where deer
and antelope eagerly play without despair
purportedly realized, reassured, recounted...drear

Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day

Like Daisies On Stalks

Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated

intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum
amidst unrehearsed extemporaneous

orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs
nature all aflutter actively socially vociferating
profuse living color rainbow pastiche

teeming soundgarden smorgasbord
cornucopia ignites mordent Utopian aural swath
visual vistas stilling spellbinding
spilling riotous carpeted web

uniting doubting Thomas's existentialism
despite unanswered queries
asper diverse modalities each specie evolved
to survive despite countervailing destructive forces

generating plethora pandemonium ironically
promulgating harmonic exemplary convergence
Highland Manor concourse aflame with new life
parented by instinctive imprimatur anonymous patents

now genetic mapping usurped with untold outcome
analysis bred crispr discovery Earthlings fiddling
glorifies honied indemnity Judeo-Christian kudos
leaves of grass kudzo resistance mutation immunizes

biosphere once prolific differentiation shrinks
becoming monocultural setting virtual stage
catastrophe plus food shortage would become
global debacle predicated, sans virulent

viral and/or bacterial strain renting asunder
tripwire unspooling delicate webbed whirl
already widely compromised more so
since Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring


*****sapiens population explosion
pits profligate predilections planet Earth in extremis
dire crisis cavalierly dismissed humans
in hot pursuit racking up superfluous wealth

dirty deeds done dirt cheap - tricking
mother nature, who will unwittingly
spring scrumptious feeding off scrimmage
forcing capitulation or total extinction

meanwhile fostering long tall floral inflorescence
a composite having sessile flowers
apiary abuzz, cuz queen bee
can no longer wax bereft of royal jelly.

Stage Fright

Silence...


...Just wait...


Wait a couple seconds...no, really.

Just WAIT...


In the distance, 
a tremble of the air itself.
A subtle quiver of it's molecular structure.
A charge, causing your hair to come alive.

*CRACK* A singularity so vivid, so dazzling,
it blinds you,
forming indistinct bubbles in your vision.

Then another, farther away, not as luminous.
Another, and another. Dozens of fractures in the sky,
shining with voltages so high, so powerful;
temperatures blistering hot,
Searing and broiling anything they touch. 
Fiercier than the sun's corona.
Vapourisation. 

Retorts of thunderous applause,
following seconds behind, build up.
Unsure at first, escalating. Deafening.
Frightening all into submission.
Applause for such grandeur. 

Overlooking the dark and forested valley,
we observe nature's perfect opera.
Above us, 
angry violet mamma roil,
bubbling over the base of the storm.
Faded flashes,
illuminating the clouds, 
casting mauve highlights and indigo shadows.
Far off applause, 
the audience of another, higher up show.

The tempest isn't quite done yet,
the show must go on. 
Not 10 metres behind us, 
a tree explodes, its trunk boiled and charred.
Simultaneously, a roaring, reverberating crackle-snap ignites the air, 
blasting our eardrums past their record limits.
A roasting heat wave blows over our heads, 
shoving us forward, searing the tips of our hair.

Screaming and shouting, we stumble away, 
no longer amazed at this horrifying opera.
Tripping down the slope,
we roll into the thick forest below us,
colliding with trees and shrubbery.

More flashes, tailed by the sky guffawing at us,
as we've become the joke of the show.
Horror surfacing on our faces, 
we blunder towards the jeep.

Only thing is...
all that's left of the jeep is a smoldering carcass...

Real fear sets in, 
as we discover ourselves 
Trapped.
Isolated.
Entirely alone.
And up on the stage of nature's prime opera.

And we're the laughing stock.
The dispensibles.

No way out.
