I'Ve Forgotten How To Love

(Now) I've forgotten how to love


Can you help me?
I've lost my feelings,
since you left...
Won't you please...return them!

You are the only, love I've known,
And now, you've left me here alone....

baby

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel...
the only thing ...I feel is numb...

I still want you...


I've gone blind now...

Now, I just stumble in the dark,
feeding the pigeons in the park,

You were the reason I could see,
You were the reason I believed,

baby

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel....
the only thing... I feel is numb...

I still need you...



I've gone deaf now...

there are no words, that I can hear,
you were the one, that said them...

You were the reason for my life...
because of you I have survived...

until now...

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel....
the only thing I feel is numb...

I still love you...

baby,

repeat chorus and fade to zero

Premium Member A Beautiful Day In Spring

Out of the dark, a lambent, lovely day has dawned
In silvery brilliance the early morning is drowned
In the sapphire sky, the sun has appeared on his diurnal shift 
Over the firmament the vagrant clouds aimlessly drift
	
Pigeons nestle with their fledglings in the eaves 
Bright sunshine seeps down through the leaves
Flocks of birds take on wings for their morning flight
Like diminutive dots they eventually disappear out of sight

All around is seen spring’s mesmerizing presence
The dormant bulbs have sprung back with a vengeance
They bear blossoms of pink, purple, yellow and white
Flashing before every watchful eye a spectacular sight

Like a bride, the Earth is clad in her silky emerald dress 
Around honey laden florets, the bees restlessly buzz
Every heart overflows in cheer with no tension’s trace
On every face, smile shuttles from lips to eyes

In the wind I hear the lilts of a forgotten melody
From a woodland nearby, a lone bird sounds its parody
It seems Heaven has flung all its treasures down
And the Earth appears regally decked in floral crown

Within me, all of a sudden, I sense a divine elation
Erasing from my sullen soul, all traces of vexation
Through every fiber of my being, the waves of joy rise
And my spirit leaps out in ecstasy to the skies!

Premium Member Observing Life's Little Moments

Sitting here at the town square
watching people going around here
a girl feeding pigeons with bread
how these birds love eating so very dear

Another old lady drinking coffee
on a seat nearby in the sun
at the centre of the square steps
the water sprinkler sprays just for fun

Flashing lights flash on the main street
there nearby there's the police and ambulance
racing by going to some emergency
thankfully we have them even a glance

Lovely trees surround the square
so colourful as the sun shines through
even the breeze waves its effect
now the sun's warmer on our face so true

This is spring anticipating summer
bring it on whatever its number!

(Just some thoughts sitting at the town square in Southport, England a few weeks ago while enjoying a short break there.)

Premium Member The Jungle Jamboree

When panthers prowl and lions stalk,
the lone wolves howl and parrots talk.
The bee hives hum and wild boars snort;
the grouses drum; the deer cavort.
And as geese cackle, small hares peek.
They see a jackal, squeal and squeak!

Near streams are snipes where hoot owls hoot.
A nightingale pipes sound of flute.
Frogs croak and play as pigeons moan,
and rhinos bray through beetles’ drone.
Snakes hiss, and apes start gibbering;
no beast escapes this daily fling!

In this clatter, swallows twitter,
magpies chatter; every critter
can join in. Hyenas laugh
while in the din, each tall giraffe
begin to bleat. What reverie
of primal beat - this jamboree!

Snippet

11/21/16

Just a snippet
Made out in the land of crickets

You either did or didn't
Put forth the effort, time and commitment
Above and below the ridges
Hits and misses
Pushing it to the limits
Got to take care of business
From the start past the finish
Again and again with a quickness
And swiftness
Focused on nearby surroundings and in the distance

People looking at you funny if you are or aren't religious
The same could be said for being superstitious

Gas, solids and liquids
The terrain and weather calm,scorching or frigid
Mild to extreme conditions

Learn from your mistakes and understand the difference
While still in existence

Benefits in using eucalyptus
And many things that are citrus

She liked the smell of hibiscus
And having koi fishes

Some only talk pigeons 
And chicken

Grand openings started with the cutting of a ribbon


Golf courses with divots

Sentimental and valuable dishes
Historical bridges
 
Kid friendly music or explicit

Messages encrypted
Future events predicted

Shallow to deep ditches

We know there has been cannibalism
Before and after many schisms

Have other life forms ever paid us a visit?

No proof of the truth, therefore does it make it fiction?

Respect the environment and ecosystem

To you and your kindred
Best of wishes

Fonty The Vegan Vulture


Fonty was a vegan Vulture. 

Other Vultures tried to offer their advice 

Told him they were created as carnivores and eating 
meat 

Is an essential part of their diet.

He stayed true to his commitment to be a vegan

Ate fruit and berries but they never satisfied his appetite 

He resulted to stealing stale bread from pigeons 

Crows kept him away from the cornfields

He was too weak to put up a fight

The Vulture Committee knew he wouldn't last much longer

Sure enough he died from starvation 

The Volt joined together as a Wake and all said a prayer 

Then they quickly ate him.

Paper Buckles 1-3

1.
any colour may be applied to the 
night-dress 

this city actually has no cart 
driven by horses 

before a pretty long time the shepherds 
had also told adieu 

by secret signalling the red-hat addiction 
called the pigeons  sitting on the broken sticks 
of the antenna to come nearer

on those dead-news the travel-story 
keeps awake by whole night 
 
and pours down on eye-lids 
clouds 
wrapped with cellophane
 
one day that wave sent 
rolling-down-on-the-back hair
to the yellow balcony

those are all ancient drama 

in the glow of the back-light you can see 
civic humps have grown up on the back 
of the birds every day and night

yet 
under the dead-stop ceiling fan the dance 
of the virgin reel wet with sweat does not fall short 

the paper-buckles with the flowers painted on it
gets more and more tight on the air of the throat 

velpuris of the evening 
offer full enjoyment 

2.
the night that comes all walking on the sands of the desert 
how much concern does she has about the navigability of the river 

when the husk of the water-chestnut is got open 
flowing down the waves bursting into a blaze 

to that flow is open the motor-car
the wan procession 
and all the fishes that want to go upward the wave 

so many varieties of floating 

if the matter of clouds be let off 
the multi-coloured fingers 
also have so many infotainments   

if the question of  moveable property is  raised 
it is only a suicide-note from my father 

and a knot 
in the robe of the blue trouser 

3.
the trees and creepers of the night 
and the plants and herbs of the day 
do all of them have the same blood-group 

there is much flora 
inside the jail-custody also 
and in this ruins of the old palace
 
how much is it justified 
to express eagerness about the geography 
of one’s character 

specially of the trees 
of the fishes 
or of the humans 

it is said 
all rivers 
flowing through the bodies of the great men 
are totally virgin 

there is also the blank desert 
on the silent snow-valley 
in the corner of your 
lips

Premium Member Invocation

Beliefs, rituals myths... are like organs of religions,
To god and goddesses, in respect, we fear like pigeons; 
Apollo, Artemis, Athena, and Ares... of Greece,
Presided over by Zeus and Hera, did fear increase...!

Sumeria, Columbia, India, and Egypt,
Though varied, like treasures, had their age-old religious script;
Philosophers or poets or saints or serenely sages,
Invoked gods and goddesses before beginning their pages...!

John Milton called on the Spirit; darkness to illumine,
Lift his soul from mundane; always to dwell, in the divine;
Denise Levertov had his reason to make his house yarn,
Like a bear; and the snow blocking all the entrances, darken...!

Christians begin thoughts, words, and deeds with the Lord's great Prayer,
Muslims submit supplications - Dua - with great love and care;
Hindus chant Mantras, holding sacred power and virtue,
Sikh Akaal Moorat, Ajooni, Saibhang... have great value...!

The Eternal God living in me, I invoke, in awe, 
Alla or Guru or Mohammad, or Christ of love-law;
Illuminate my lone paths in ways I do not know how,
To them, in love, sincere worship... ever I humbly bow...!

May my life, like mirrors, reflect your love, to each and all!
May yearnings of mine, like streams, in you ever rise and fall!
May no harm to any beings, in my heart spring at all!
May my soul, like a waiter, stand ready to heed your call...!

Trading Places

The cool morning
was delightful and
quite dreamy;
tacked against
a-freshly-painted
bench of gray,
I was enjoying
a deliciuos breakfast:
bacon with eggs
and steaming,
hot coffee...

The unhesitant,
slender pigeons
came quickly around,
cooing with relief,
with an icredible joy
in their weary sound,
to feed on the breadcrumbs 
by the birch tree;
I wanted to show them
a bit of my generosity,
giving them most of my toast,
which never goes to waste...

And as they slowly
sorrounded me
with genuine amicability,
their sunken,sad
and pitiful eyes sparkled
with thankfulness;
some staggered,
like toddlers,
on their feeble feet
as hunger and age
were a display
of an undeniable misery...

I did not see
any trotting babes
following them closely;
they surely waited
in their cosy,
comouflage nest:
unseen by predators
and hunters alike...

One courageous 
and dashing pigeon
fled to my left
with an hysterical craft,
slightly sweeping 
the dandelions
covered with dew
and yellow pollen;
asked for more food
with a convincing coo...

And though my breakfast
was truly humble,
enough to make
them desperately fumble:
my only reward was
to see them eat,
willing to feed
them on those
Sutarday's mornings
and make them my lttle companions;
but to feel their hunger and need,
I have to trade placed indeed...

How She Challenged Her Fate

She was only sixteen
A lithe bamboo in the river shore
In the family of five
Destined to be a whore

It was easy to want her
Taps on her doors were frequent
She managed to avoid them
Her reluctance was eloquent

Fell in love with the village magician
Wove a net of intense attachment
Looking at the purple and blue bruises
She loved blooming the roses in the basement

She managed to learn from him
A few tricks and would perform
At the market and  the roadside
Gradually filling her black vacuum

Would walk along the thin rope
Hanging from the poles fifteen feet apart
The people would clap along
The pigeons grew wings in the heart

She would always do it in his presence
Except that day with her father  on the hospital bed 
She needed about a hundred dollars
As his life hung by a thread

In the middle of the rope her feet tripped
She vaulted in the air before the wondering eyes
While falling she shouted my amiiii...go 
Like the lightening he came down from the skies

He stretched out his arms like a cradle
Took her into his racing heart
The fate looked absolutely baffled
How stylish was her way to outsmart
