Recurrent Sneezing Fit

An infinitesimal slight speck tickled 
nostril follicle – activated via an itty 
bitty, nitty gritty dirt band noah bigger 
than a mole luck yule set in motion a 
chain reaction, whence mine sensitive 
proboscis honker (wheeze - hilly little 
bridged fine tuned pug nose aroma 
sensor), got unexpectedly in gauged 
(in holy matt trim mo’ knee) to achew, 
and eschew pledging troth (in favor of 
hanky-panky) found this chap feeling 
phlegmatic because an endless string 
of faux allergic emanations, which 
upon subsiding left me throat rather 
raspy and voice some octaves deeper 
akin to a coterie of celebrated jumping 
frogs from Calaveras County, California 
took residence and refused leaving 
stranglehold upon math rote upon 
awakening from a hard day’s journey 
into night across the outer limits 
of thine twilight zone resurrected 
during slumber, yet upon awakening 
felt much refreshed and hungry enough 
to eat a horse – nee – make that forced 
whore – gulped down within a hoof 
n hour and now recount how back in 

the day when zooming thru the Lilies 
of the Valley (whooshing mass elf tubby 
an aeroplane) frequent bouts with uber 
twittering snapchatting sinus attacks 
besieged crinkled, doppelganger expeller 
for germs hunting with his clean X 
instantaneously for nasal passages 
to enter surreptitiously the fecund 
effluvia dripping, oozing, and  seeping 
clear liquid as wintry cold air looses 
droplets from out a near frozen nose, 
which bloke knows not why frigid blast 
stimulates gallimaufry of sniffling 
to spurt into a volume of one after 
another gesundheit donning, snorting 
trumpeting unwittingly confusing 
Canadian geese, who misconstrue 
the honking from midway centered 
facial organ, which angry birds
in tandem with flock of Seagulls 
quite perturbed to espy one curmudgeon 
chap clapping hands over (what feels 
like Smashing Pumpkins on face) 
in an effort to stifle subsequent gummy 
emissions, which residue expectorated 
with heave hoe shove 
schnoz el tov blowing into snot-rag.


When You Know You Will Die Alone

When you know you will die alone

The dust will be your last standing friends,

Your ashes will be the memories which you kept so safely

And time will be your priest, 

Not standing by your side and giving a heartfelt speech

But digging your grave, shoving your corpse and walk past by

Because of the sheer loneliness of it.



When you know you will die alone,

The sky will be blue, 

Still.

You will remember the walls that nourished your soul

Christy Brown's left foot,

James' imagination where you could find your dreams 

An odd Sarah strewn here and there

And of course, Ripley who could always love a cat forever. 



When will you know you will die alone?

When?  'I will not answer' said the Universe. 

This is something which I know, 

This is something we all know,

And the plants, the grass, the worn out table lamp,

Even the white paper staring at me,

Sang in a wisely, agreeable chorus.



With every word oozing out from a heart beat,

I am carving my tombstone,

With every thought exhaled with smoke,

I am ornamenting my casket,

With every fake smile,

I am inviting people to my funeral,

But...



I know I will die alone,

I will depart quietly from the stories,

Like an unsung hero,

Or a delusional villain,

Laughing the last laugh,

Later joining the priest for a funeral dinner.

Premium Member Past Nightfall

On Halloween, I heard of a guesthouse
advertising stays in a haunted house.
Spend one night, get a year's lodgings for free,
I was sure it was mere hyperbole.

Its decrepit looks failed to frighten me,
so I decided to ask for a key.
And upon opening a daunting door,
my footstep drew squeaks from a creaking floor.

There was no hydro, only an oil lamp,
and the furniture felt filthy and damp.
But I proceeded to explore the halls,
checking out smells seeping out of the walls.

I heard garbled whispers and muffled screams;
the kind of things one hears in nightmare dreams.
A stench was oozing from cracks in the floor,
as I searched the attic spattered with gore.

My heart jumped; when shadows started to shift,
causing reality to bend and drift.
And as fear fuels the panic, I feel,
I'm more and more convinced ghosts are real.

I soon concluded that this wasn't funny;
my life is worth much more than free money.
So I quickly hightailed it out of there;
if that makes me a coward, I don't care.

You can call me nuts, but that house has spooks,
those who've fled there, aren't just a bunch of kooks.
And you'd be a fool to stay past nightfall;
for I've seen things that would make your skin crawl.

Premium Member Wardrobe Color Scheme

Blest with garments of varied hues and shades’ assortment
I practice an organized monthly color-scheme adornment…

January is greeted with vibrant green’s life-oozing zest
along moss, emerald and mint scarfs’ accenting best.

With blue motif of azure or cerulean in February
cyan-printed dresses match aquamarine-look accessory.

Pink for March as well as old rose and fuchsia of no doubt
makes watermelon lace with pomelo ribbon stand out.

April shimmers in yellow, gold and sunshine glow
showing skirts of mustard, canary with lemon flow.

May has cream and beige for modest apparel bliss
as blouses are pleased with flax and vanilla emphasis.

June delights in violet midst lavender and lilac beauty
allowing use of purple and magenta bags, surely pretty.

Cheering July onlookers are different black-speckled masks
parading shoes, leather or so-called ebony in mobile tasks.

This August* presents belts of bronze, cinnamon and brown
while wearing coffee or chocolate shawl without frown.

Orange awaits September with tangerine or amber trends
preparing handkerchiefs of carrot, squash and yam blends.

For October that highlights charcoal, ash, and gray
ready to be added is silver to my faith-anchored fashion-array.

November features raiment** that’s white or off-white
together with pearl, ivory and cotton polka dots  on sight.

In December is red, alongside scarlet or maroon’s joyousness 
with crimson and ruby attire, thanking God for His bountifulness.
 
*Next year will be another color-schedule.

**Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

RAIN SOAKED HEART

               We wished to seize that wonderful rainy day
                 smiling and standing face to face.
               Our book of love wrote the preface
                 Our steps imprinted on wet muddy clay.
                              
                That wonderful rainy day we wished to seize 
                spending rorty moments under showers
                amidst redolence of rain- soaked flowers.  
                   Muse flaunting in intermittent breeze.
          
                 We wished to seize that wonderful rainy day
                 Raindrops on us slowly slipping dripping
                We wandered wishfully on zigzag stepping
                or stood close to each other nothing to say.
                
                 That rainy day we wobbled to hover.
                  Mesmerized odor of pretty petrichor
                 flashed a familiar comedic folklore.
                 telling thrilling story of cheerful lovers.
     
              That rainy day we welcomed love to start.
               Bond of sweet love tied two young souls.
               Promise of joint journey aimed same goal.
                Pearly passion oozing from core of heart.

While Shuttered Up Inside

While Shuttered Up Inside... ©ozy
Snug Air Conditioned Demesne...

Analogous to my boyhood
     cosseted and bereft, I assay
to poetically elucidate how majority
     of mine years found me
     deft keeping danger at bay
only thru the pour substitute
     of my imagination
     remaining safe within the causeway

of a quasi Norman Rockwell picturesque
     unblemished near utopian day,
where trumped up "FAKE" danger
     stoked courtesy of
     anticipatory anxiety didst essay
when pinhead size
     pores faux stressed
     every epidermal square inch

     populating skin oozing perspiration
     along I-59 pro Roman
     lix spittle sweaty freeway
precipitated, via illusory mailer daemons
     unavoidably pitching me
     into an inescapable fray
unlike late twenty somethings
     (Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan,

     whose cruel fate
     at the hands of Isis militants
     published online by Irish Times),
evinced carpe diem
     existential Great Gatsby
live life to the fullest
     created an extraordinary journey
     (now forever immortalized as

     daring adventurist trekkers)
     with ample horseplay
deliberately, egregiously, fanatically
and wantonly killed, 
     when purely exalting in zest
promulgated by indomitable spirit
     found me choked up,
     a baby boomer i.e. west

tern civilized married bloke,
     who opted to die vest
away from blatant uncertainty
     never daring to experience unrest
outside a severely circumscribed perimeter,
     exempt from a life
     and death litmus test,
where very little harm extant,

     when taking repast or rest
only ushering, venturing,
     and taking, sans
     quotidian cerebral quest
ensconced within four walls
     without nary a pest
except...pet peeves of mine
     within psyche built a nest,

nonetheless hounded by many a vicious beast
whose predatory cannibalistic feast
comprises thine psychological state greased
with until mortality expires,
     asper being temporarily lend leased.

Half Butt

We stagger on the slopes heading home
We had been bar friends and home could be anywhere in between
As long as little comfort settled in, home we were
This time, in the crack of dawn,
Rudely woken up by the chirping of the birds over our heads
The cold stone which we laid on started moving
Slapping my able friend for moving the stone deliberately
A sure fight amongst cronies of high and low moons stretched our muscles, flinty hits
Before we realized it, the attack from the hippo is never an amusing matter
Unfriendly noise that came from the animal and smite on my bosom friend's butts
Spear oozing blood, agony and torment followed in his stony face and voice with a straight baffling stare in my eyes
His voice combined with mine at the top, the animal running back to its peaceful resident
Onlookers, mostly fisher folks from their night duty and the women racing for grocery goods only lamenting at the missed opportunity for the free wild meat
Our wail only earned us a grain of stare as I hurried my mate to the nearest facility 
After that day, I met not only a nightclub friend but a partner
As I ring this partner of mine, 
I stand in peace to piece the pieces that knit our life's lessons golden and deep.

Converse...

Conversations confusing
Google bots are oozing as I type
Quiet yet quite the riot
Gents lament a Goddess rant
Counting Coronets that can’t…
Hailing comments that She shan’t
Whale her song from a ship of Pink.
While her telly was quite the philly
Her belly was shaking with quiet silly
A butter in the fly has stumbled…
Tumbling his tongue on a British bum.
She laughed as she came undone and
He remembers now, the dame’s name.
Especially, the special invented his game.
Peace and pieces were all to blame, so
Sasanova lost her shame… and went froth.
Up the Gemini and into the Earth… 
Tales from the doggie, so Sirius at first
Said ales of Corona created Mirth.

Martha, is such a ham when she works!
Sang a song about six biggie wics
Five for games and one for sticks…
Dear John, Flame of my heart, 
Your elip Tickles O’l Neptune’s part!
Dear Ed, did you hear of the start!
Two men in wigs… made a Casaba tart!

Logs only have rhythm… when they’re lagers…
Honey, pass my reed please… near the sandals.dear ;)~

Stale Bread

He starts with the natural order of things,
thinks
wash bedsheets,

been pushing chores aside -
that's just natural.

Done with saccharine,
from now on
teaspoonful of honey
at least until
the year-old jar
stops oozing.

Corn flakes gone stale,
the days fall out of sleep
way sooner than they should,
and that's hard to do - naturally.

Order comes and goes.

Mold grows blue bread
nothing last as long as fungus.

It's the predicable
that catches him unawares.

Nature chugs along,
small birds stop singing by noon,

maybe he forgot to hear them,
natural orders arrange
his face
for all the foreseeable day

then bored with its cosmic game -
leaves him alone.

Premium Member Heart's Inspiration

My heart's inspiration is mother dear...
Her nurturing love heals hurts of bruise pest
with grace-fragrance of radiant hope's best
that sweetly pervades in my veins with cheer. 

Dad’s convincing truth abides in my heart
Reinforcing Mom’s dos and don’ts essence
Echoing parents’ marvelous presence
Securing me in God-propped home’s rampart*.

Throbbing in my heart is siblings’ blest care
Treasure so expensive I value well
Midst bliss exuding serenity smell
Oozing with love marked by kind give-and-share.

*Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
