Breach of Confidentiality Induces Asphyxiation Part Uno

Suffocation experienced analogous
to absent echocardiogram
or electroencephalogram blip
(Derek Chauvin - he of
George Floyd infamy) iron maiden grip
linkedin with psyche subjected
to laceration courtesy cruel horse whip
mine inexcusable 
(albeit clueless faux pas)
family members living social in Bend, Oregon
and Oakland, California did yip
private information across cyberspace did zip.

Apology (ex post facto)
extended regarding about
mine guilt ridden conscience
programming mental state
think sufferable infinite
jesting Möbius strip
casting dark shadow of doubt
looping along outer limits
of twilight zone
futilely shucking off
emotional tailspin (kamikaze) fallout
impossible mission
unable to muzzle or thwart lout

who poetically blurts out
simian old routine programmed
erroneously heavily incorrectly
peppers entire Hollerith
or IBM punched cards
yielding botched defenseless redoubt,
when Yankee doodles dandy
teapot short and stout
convection currents trigger
whistle Dixie when liquid piping hot
a microcosm concerning plate tectonics
across webbed wide world
yielding necessary oomph
to migrating trout.

Absent awareness
flourished amidst ignorance
sixty plus shades of gray matter
hotly doth smolder and burn
unbeknownst rancor did furiously churn
when yours truly divulged
he made aborted attempt
to couch his genuine
paternal care and concern
lack of discrimination
and judgment I did not
(honest to dog) recognize nor discern.

Understandable blameworthy
grievance against me,
not granted app parent permission
thus culpability I obediently yield
words that sparked hurt
now utilized to wield
heft to communicate authentic love
(cryptically coded)
and hermetically sealed
hopefully in due time
mine discretion well healed.

Premium Member Lily

She had lived for ninety years. 
Life had been a patchwork of promises; 
some kept, many broken, all remembered. 

Born one cold December morning when 
the world dared to dream again. 
Wicked war won at inexcusable cost; 

thousands lost; gone and never to return. 
A lesson learned?  Not for long it seems. 
They met while still at school. 

Young love. First promise; he said he'd 
make her his wife, spend his life in pursuit 
of her happiness and they glowed with the 

innocent flush of youthful exuberance. 
Then he left her when the call to battle came. 
He died on a beach in 1940 and she became 

a widow before being a bride, and she cried, 
inside and out for the rest of her days. 
A faded photograph on her locker and in 

her memory a youthful kiss, a lifetime missed, 
for her heart died too with the loss of him. 
She never married, carrying her grief to the grave. 

Her sister had a son, a soldier too, and he survived. 
A promise kept, but his son went to Afghanistan, 
and was killed by the Taliban. Thankfully Lily never knew. 

Broken promise at twenty two; he left a sweetheart 
who wears his ring.  They had a home, and hope of 
happiness, all lost in the explosion of destruction. 

Lessons learned?  I don't think so, as soldiers die 
and their women cry. All Lily's life languishing 
in loss, and many more now count the cost. 

And a baby cries; born one cold December morn'. 
He sees his mother cry for she is grieving 
for a father he will never know....... 

and so it goes on, and so and so and so.

Premium Member Evil Personified - 4

There is no Beating in this Hollow, Heinous Heart
Eternal empty eyes emitting, inexcusable iniquities
Jutting juxtaposed jackal jaws, tearing Love apart
Anathematize abandoned, never forgiving Atrocities
This is how I live, how I grow, how I stay in control

Eternal empty eyes  emitting, inexcusable iniquities
Where are you Love?, I Long for YOU, with LOVE so TRUE
I gaze into the Eyes of LOVE; I see the Darkness of Death
Yet my Heart can not Shed a Tear,  For Eons of FOREVER
I Will ALWAYS and FOREVER, LOVE YOU, LENORE

I gaze into the Eyes of LOVE; I see the Darkness of Death
Jutting juxtaposed jackal jaws: Tearing LOVE Apart
Shredding the Heart, ripping away My LOVE : and my Breath
The Tears are running down my cheeks, for Hell’s dark road I depart
My Eyes burn, covered with the Billows of the Smoke from Hell

The Tears are running down my cheeks, for Hell’s dark road I depart
There is no Beating in this Hollow, Heinous Heart
Anathematize abandoned, never forgiving Atrocities
Yet my Heart can not  Shed a Tear, for Eons of FOREVER
Walking, a Dark lonesome hot ember road, through Eons of Infinities 

                                To be Continued
Inspired by TPS’ blog “Integrity“; this is the Liege you do not see
          Dedicated to those who do not believe, like me

Calligraphy

Ignorance comes with a specific gesture of innocence
After lifting a mountain, there is none, with your limitations.
And, I will start here, past the speaker and the audience, conversations...
I was looking at the calligraphy along the wall. Scriptures. Huge and magnificent.
Little did I know about. And, it was a very different kind.Aesthetical views certify.
I wished; I could touch those words! Only to reach the skills of a dedicated craft. 
I was gazing through those words.In my mind,with an inexcusable lack of efforts. Islamophobia, a tantalizing talk nowadays, to tag questions with a context of life. 
Never met the artists, for stories untold, behind the dedication,inspiring, at least.
Lavish, tall structures with those massive chandeliers, competing for divine light.
And, I was nobody but an inner cry. Though nothing is trivial in the eyes of God.
He, who knows, limitations of those working hands, with a toiling, struggling life!

Maurauder

It was inexcusable, so I 
applauded
Marauder of my emotions, 
pacing ... seething
Bored with action,
his disgusting attraction to
scoffing at me
repeatedly

Same old rusty pin
popped my heart balloon until
I lost count
What did he think I would
amount to?

dust

He predicted it
so I fulfilled 
the prophecy perfectly
all
by
my
self

What could have been
a long, lovely bike ride
was rudely interrupted by a 
loss of balance

From my deeply skinned knee
slowly emerged dark red Hues
of Blues
that had resided below the surface
for way too long

Then the numbness set in
only adding to the pain

Finally, resorting to a place of
pitying him
helped more than a million
countless therapy sessions

Past the point of being 
passive. Too weak to be
aggressive,
his big mental muscles
stopped scaring and scarring me
after enough time was lost

I killed him in my dreams and
revived him
in this other reality
What is there to gain
from a man like that


Premium Member After the Hurricane

Deadly hurricane surged and diffused all over
Destroyed all with its diabolical power 
Devastated and submerged the low-lying realms
Demolished all docks, houses, roads and toppled elms
Decimated the life in a large proportion
Dismantled violently the secure position
Disfigured beautiful landscape of rich green lush
Dispelled existing course of action into gush
Danger bells were ignored and there so many wails
Distressing ghastly sights are heart rending tales
Detached life from nature is inexcusable
Destined grief, a wound which is incorrigible

Bad Poem

One day I delivered a poem
one that seemed to be premature
so I swaddled her up
and set her aside
to grow 'til I felt reassured

How she yowled and howled for attention...
how she cried so piteously!
How she coughed and she sneezed
whimpered and wheezed
then threw up all over me!

Still I tenderly tended her bedside
and lovingly nursed her along
determined to sacrifice everything
to raise her up healthy and strong

As she grew and recovered, she wandered
and crawled over everything
and I found I had trouble containing
my rambling, unruly offspring

She became an inexcusable bounder
a wayward and bratty ingrate
who despite all my love and affection
refused to make sense or read straight

She dallied in questionable places
she idled and shiftlessly shirked
lazily lagging, ignoring my nagging
while I selflessly, endlessly worked

Firmly applied discipline to her
and structure, and meter, and rhyme
but she bucked, and rebelled, and bit me
and stayed up beyond her bedtime

We wrestled, and wrangled, and brawled,
bickered in bitter altercation
if I didn't do something quite soon
she would ruin my good reputation

At length, I decided I'd had it
we had reached the end of the road
and although she clung like a wet paper towel-
I flung her and flushed the commode!

You can't run from accountability

We know your game 
And we are not going to become slaves to it
We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web 
Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you
The heavens will rain down on you
There is no escape from eternity

Hear these words said
Let them infest your head
Your silence will betray you 
Days will turn to nights
Insomnia will plague you 
Like darkness it will consume you
The weight of your actions will crush you
The pain you've inflicted on black people
Will come back to haunt you 
Forever waiting in the shadows to spook you 
You will know no peace in life and death
This is a promise
A warning 
And a threat 

What you've done to my people 
Is inexcusable

Premium Member Wedded, 1882, Frederic Leighton

I trace the blushing texture
of smoked allure 
 with aching fingers,
fervent and blue ~
inhaling the intense incense,
       exhaling the iron thorn
of love sabotaged
for I feel your hands ferociously
roaming my flawed frames
eager to taste the fragments
of the sunrise you seek
in hues of hostile gold...
while the tales within 
   your eyes reveal 
   the truth of my tongue 
           twirling and teasing
   colors of confession
and amethyst reveries
stroking the weight of want
in soft butterfly ink blooms
kissing your fears 
          into fluorescence 
bringing your armored spirit
to kneel at the altar of attachment,
glued to the crimson of craving,
as an inamorato trembling ~
struck by the fever of fixation...

there is no escape, O beloved 
            from this inexcusable
   intoxication of passion ablaze... 
longing has no logic to philosophize
     and  you are now sitting
imprisoned as an impassioned
Antony’s portraitist
       upon Cleopatra’s pedestal
   wedded to the edges of infinity ~

a torn canvas is two paintings
oblivious to the galleries of grief
as healing hums through walls
that feel the melodious mists
falling like rain of rippling roses
     pulling and pushing nevermore
but soaked in the dews
of quivering seconds
    tuning time through heartbeats...

we are dreamers of what would be
if the acrylic carves wounds
into an ineffable masterpiece
the dawn never asked for more than
           a constellation 
untouched and unmoved by doubt 
the sun never questioned 
        the sands of sorrow 
so melt these tears 
              into your sweet fire ~ 
   breathe my demons  
               into your warm sky
release all resistance 
you are no longer trapped, but free
in the arms of undeniable moonlight
engrossed in the perfumed spell 
                 of wild heat ~ 
there is no threat in deep devotion;
love blossoms
as a sketched sanctuary
         of softened colors and trust…

Second chapter of piano music

2025.08.04.
On this Monday, I was so please,
To find a piano in a new place.
Its location, opening and closing hours;
The welcome notes stand erected next to it:
"Do you know a tune? Come and play me"
Have successfully lured me,
It was a Brash and Paling black baby grand piano,
So far everything suites me to a tea.

I sat down, cleaned the keys and started playing.
Strangely, I got nervous for no apparent reasons.
I played alright but missed a key every now and then.
I felt embarrassed and started to wonder.
There was no audience in the foyer,
Nor any one I knew of in this building,
So what was all these anxious feelings.

Over a few day, more and more people filmed me,
Especially when I played
"The Moon represents my heart" and "The Love Story".
I was overwhelmed by their sincere appraisals.
I thought hard and then realised,
It was the songs I chose,
The ways I played them with passion,
As remarked by Beethoven 
"To play a wrong note is insignificant 
To play without passion is inexcusable".

This time, I played and took regular breaks.
The tuning was much better than all others.
The sound was loud but subtly,
It still required tuning but not desperately.

Last but not least, the long opening hours,
Enable me to come in the early evening,
And that helped freeing up
My day time to do other things.

At the end of the first evening,
Some one asked if I would be back next week,
So he could hear more of my musics,
Well, it was nice to have a date with a music's purpose.
In another day, some one offered to help me
Gaining access to the piano on Sunday.

I was quite overwhelm by the whole situations.
This new experience suited me in every sense.

From memory, it was one year ago,
I warned BB about the Lunar month of the ghost,
I planned not to see him just for that month.
But he made a decision, terminated our friendship,
Without saying goodbye, nor giving any explanation.
Well, life moves on and definitely I have moved on.
However, if it was not for BB, I would not have played piano.
Ironically, he would never heard me playing.
