Cant Blame Me When Its You

For everyone that has been cheated on
For everyone that has been lied to
For everyone that has been hurt due to a dumb significant other
No need to see the doctor for being a victim of the relationship flu
I got the cure and this poem is dedicated to all of you

I was so good I was the best I can be
No that wasn’t good enough for you had to break my heart like u snapped a branch 
off a tree
Its not that I was blind its just I wanted you to change to someone deep inside you 
I see
Trying to be the helpful kind one in the end you were the one who decided to play 
me
Deep down farther than the sea I loved you with all my heart and that’s a 
guarantee but now its time for me to strike back and set you free

You can’t get mad at me trying to flip a table cemented to the ground 
Acting as if I was the dog portraying me as "the rest" when you are the one that 
needs to be sent to the pound
Your the one digging holes and burying bones in the dirt
Don’t stop now continue to flirt because hoes gone by hoes and by them I can’t be 
hurt

I’m glad u practiced your game on me
You a liar yet you hate them
You a cheater yet you despise them
You say you not like the rest but your quest was in your bed with another guest 
Don’t bother getting up and getting dressed let them lay there on your chest
I’ll be the mature one walk away with no contest 
I must have been possessed to be with you but hey moral of the story *clap* 
*clap* I’m impressed

It’s okay if you want to be a certified player I can sign off on your degree
You only needed one witness to prove all you can be
You are your own boss now and under you is an upcoming trainee
I’m sure they will pass with flying colors if their life you referee 
Before you go you have something of mine in your pocket I dig for my key
This no longer belongs to you it has a return to sender and the address is assigned 
to me

You a hoe, you a whore, you a ****, and yes guys can be them too
Yea you too cocky for your own good thinking of yourself as a tattoo
Naw baby your not you like an error on Microsoft word I just pressed undo
You were cute, you were nice, you were funny but now when I look at you it’s a 
dirty view
You can beg, you can plead asking for me back you can even kiss my shoe 
Just remember when my answer is no you can’t blame me when it was all you

Champions Within Glass Backed Walls

Within the glass backed walls of the  squash courts, ....

Eager junior players are busy getting into their strides..
In small groups of 4 to 6, they are seeking to earn their stripes..
Religiously undergoing punishing  regimes while in training...
Perfecting skills and flair to better perform beyond all these training... 

Within the glass backed walls of the squash courts.. 

Players are wielding each a racket as an integral part of their hands..
Moving fluidly into anticipated spaces with well measured paces..
Unhurriedly and ever so confidently they execute hitting maneuvers...
One can't help but recall the phrase poetry in motion in their actions...

Within these glass backed walls of the squash courts..

Perspiration drenched players are seriously undergoing racket drills...
Moving swiftly and surely through well drilled routines without frills....
Whacking hard and fast  the moving blur of a rubberised squash ball...
Confidently and effortlessly retrieving impossible shots off the wall...

Within the glass backed walls of these squash courts...

The dedicated coach is closely assisting and monitoring his players..
Eagled eyed and confident, he's getting the best out of the players..
Pushing and cajoling, occasional groans and cries of frustration and of laughter...
Help relieve the monotony in this serious business of training players to be better...

Within these glass backed walls of the squash courts..

Young players are diligently sweating blood and tears to excel further....
Endlessly going through technical drills so that their skills be better..
These endless cycles of training and stroke making drills are necessary....
For these young players are chasing living dreams of squash fame and glory...

Within the glass backed walls of the squash courts...

Kiddie dreams of glory and fame are planted in fresh young minds in earnest...
Sporting dreams are cultivated and gradually nutured into driving ambitions...
A number of such dreamers will falter never to taste the ultimate highs of glory...
But one in a while, a shining diamond of a player steps into court, to start a new story..


Within the the glass backed walls of the squash court....

A generation of champions are being groomed to hold court...
Outside the world awaits patiently, who's the next champion to step forth?

1980's

Back in my day shell suits were the latest fashion 
And I made sure I wore my diamond socks with a passion 
The only sky I knew was the one up above my head 
No dvd player, just a betamax had to do instead 
The only laptop I knew was the tray my dinner was served in 
No sat nat to direct us, just maps and a lot of guessing 
My social network involved playing outdoors with my friends 
If I had an important message there was no text for me to send 
Instead I would simply go and knock on the door 
And enjoy a good game of hopscotch, drawn neatly on the floor 
If I wanted to listen to music I held my boom box to my ear 
And I felt like a millionaire in my latest pair of L.A Gear 
No ipod to shuffle or touch just my sony walkman 
No google to look for answers, just the library to depend on 
No Ipad, no playbook, just a good old storybook 
It may even be in hardback if I had any luck 
No freeview, no Virgin, I was lucky to even have colour tv 
And a rubiks cube would suffice, never mind an XBOX 360 
It was all about hammer time and wearing those pants 
And the theme tune to Fraggle Rock I would happily chant 
No cyber bullying, only cyber I knew was the tamagocchi pet 
No loading plates into the dishwasher as it hadn't been invented yet 
No cd player,  my cassettes were the in thing 
And to have a sovereign ring on every finger meant you had some bling 
The A Team,  crossroads, tiswas and happy days was the programmes I watched 
No series links or reminders to watch programmes like Lost 
No rewinding the tv or pausing whilst I nip to the loo 
Instead I had to ask someone and hope that they have a clue 
No Adidas for me, just my trusted bum bag 
My girls world doll and scrunche's were things I just had to have 
In my day the only kid I wanted was a cabbage patch kid 
Not a real one so that in a hostel I can live 
No PS3, no Wii, no Vita or Nintendo DS 3d 
Just my good old NES on my four channel tv 
Care bears, the moomins, playschool and dangermouse 
No crimewatch to make me afraid to be in my house 
In my days if I was rude I would get a good smack 
And I couldn't dare say the clothes you just bought me were whack 
No microwave dinners, No chinese takeaway for me 
Saturday soup was the best, one big bowl balancing on your knee 
The 80's and the 90's I enjoyed it while it did last 
But every now and again I take a glimpse of the past

What Happened To 'For Better For Worse'

What happened to 'for better for
worse',
What happened to 'You I will
cherish till death do us part',
What happened to 'You have my
all, body soul and heart'.

I remember how you used to wait
for me,
Daily...
Right under that light post,
Everyday at 4o'clock,
Because that was when my
classes ended,
And you would insist on walking
me home,
Even if I wouldn't say a single
word all the way long.

I still remember how you would
sneak into our homestead,
In the middle of the night,
And come to the window of my
room,
And you wouldnt want much,
Just to see me,
Hold my hand,
And say you loved me,
Make your vows under the
glistening stars,
And mighty moon,
And then go waiting to see me
the following day after school.

I still remember that day you
found me at the river,
And you held me by the waist,
I still feel electricity flow all
through me,
Every time you touch me,
Just like it did that day,
Down by the river side.
I still remember how i turned
around and for the 1st time,
Looked straight into your eyes,
I remember how I let go of my
pot...
And followed you into the
forbidden forest.
I didnt know where we were
going,
But knowing I was with you my
heart was at rest.

I still remember laying there on
that patch of grass,
Your breath on my neck,
As you slowly untied the knot my
mother did on my leso every
morning,
And slowly I gave in,
You had said you loved me,
I loved you even more,
And because that is all that
mattered,
I surrendered to you.

I remember how you looked at
me two
months after,
When I told you that soon we
would have an extra player in the
team,
I remember the sharp pain that
hit my gut,
Split my heart,
When you uttered the words,'How
sure am I that its mine.'
I remember how you looked at
me with so much spite,
When both parents,
Yours and mine,
Said that all that could be done,
Was you to marry me,
And take responsibility.

Ten years now and you haven't
called him your son,
Not even once,
And am left to wonder what
wrong I did,
Because it takes two to do the
deed,
And the consequence of our
action is our son Dean.

If you loved me for real,
Then why would you turn cold as
steel.
What happened to the promises
under the moon,
The vows in the letters you wrote
daily after school,
The tender love I could see,
Each time you looked at me.
What happened to 'for better for
worse',
What happened to till death, do us
part.'

Charles Bukowski Road Not Chosen

Charles Bukowski Road Not Chosen
 
While reading Charles Bukowski poetry
On the metro ride home
Listening to Buddha bar music
On my oh too hip IPod
 
I begin to see myself as I was
Over 30 years ago when I was merely a bit player
A minor character in a Charles Bukowski poem
 
A wild young underemployed intellectual
Hanging out in dismal bars and dives all over Asia and California
Hanging with disreputable women and drunks and drinkers
And characters out of his kinds of haunts
 
A mad poet bard of the underground
A drunken poet in a drunken bum show
That nightly played in his head
 
Then one day I met the women of my dreams
And went down a different path
A long slow path to respectability
 
And now 30 years later
I am no longer a wild man
I am still a poet at heart
But I am now also a bureaucrat
In a button down suite
 
Doing the people's business
Working for the Government
I've become the Man
 
Sometimes I wonder
Would I have been better off
Going down that another path

Would I have ended up
Somewhere else
Doing something else
 
Would I have been as happy
Would I have been as successful?
 
There is no answer that satisfies
The longing in my heart
For that wild thing
That still lurks beneath
It's civilized cover
 
And I know that I am still
A mad poet at heart
Railing against the injustice of the world
 
As I work day by day in the belly of the great beast of State
I recall the ancient Chinese saying,
"Confucian during the day while Taoist rebel at night"
Playing out in my head and nightly dreams
In the true American Upper class patrician tradition
 
I close the book and look out the window
Get off the train, and walk slowly home
 
And realize I had no choice
But to take the path that I’ve trodden on
 
And so I put aside my misgivings
And say goodbye to my "Bukowskian"desires
For another night of domestic contentment
 
Was it worth it all to take the conventional path
And not take the bohemian road to hell and back
 
I look at my wife and realize
I had no choice, had no choice
But to follow her to the ends of the earth
 
And beyond by her side as we walked our path
Of shared destiny
 
Goodbye Charles Bukowski wherever you are
May I meet you in a bar in the next life
And figure out where we should have gone
 
Until then the drinks are on me.

Food For Thought...

Many a people will try to bring you down, turn your smile into a frown, try to ruin 
your day, by the words they say.

Many a people will try to hurt you, by what they do, try to discourage you, from your 
dream come true.

Many a people will try to defame your name, bring you to shame, trample over 
your hard works, to boost their ego of some sort.

Many a people will try to make you feel like you have no worth, as if you should 
never have walked this earth.

Many a people will try to slander your character, doing and saying whatever, 
convincing others to share their thoughts, trying to misuse and abuse what you 
are all about.

Many a people will try to break you, shake you, make you fall and stumble, all the 
while laughing in your face and being fake with a hand out to always take, take, 
take.

Many a people will stand right in your face and tell a bold face lie, making you feel 
sorry for them when they begin to cry, all the while they are up to no good and on 
a mission to try to block you from making a major decision.

Many a people will try to accuse you of things you never did, point the finger to 
ease their guilt, try to make you believe that what you've seen and heard is 
nothing more than a myth.

Many a people will try to do many things to make you feel less than a human 
being.

Don't allow others to be "many a people", You have a voice ~ Use It Wisely and 
Timely.

Never become anyone's puppet on a string ~ You are stronger and wiser than 
you seem.

Don't fall for any trick in the book, don't become someone's bate they dangle on 
the hook.

Never settle for less than you are worth, you are a priceless living being and have 
been since your birth.

Life is about choices, therefore choose wisely your words, actions, re-actions 
and behavior.

Remember ...

"Life is Like a Deck of Cards -You don’t deal with the hand that you were dealt, it's 
all in how you Play with the hand you were dealt. Optimal words “Deal” 
and “Play.” If you deal with it, you may never win, never overcome, never achieve 
higher levels. But if you play, you will lose some, you will win some, therefore you 
become a Player of life and not live a life whereby you are Played" - Written By, 
Yours Truly :-)

3rd Day of Lockdown

By hook and crook 
I passed two days of lockdown. 
On 3rd day i made up my mind 
Not to take task at home in hand. 
I left kitchen and home on her behalf. 
But 12 hours of day 
I couldn't spend without work. 
So i decided to play an adventure game 
My soulmate was competent in the game.

First of all i made a cloth ball with my hands 
We shall try to catch it on both end.
She and i entered into the hall 
To play game with hands made ball.
The rules of game were decided first 
Hold catch 2 points and dropped catch 3 points
We started it only for fun 
But regret, we forgot it very soon. 

I threw the ball 
She caught and scored two points .
She tried to dodge me
But i caught and started with same points. 
The game was going on
Throw and catch 
Catch and throw the  ball. 
Clapped at every point 
We were the players 
We were the spectators 
Enjoying game at both ends.

But my fate never liked my happiness 
I was just behind her on points table 
It my turn to throw the ball 
I held it as rugby player hold ball. 
Threw it hard towards her
Unfortunately she missed the ball
It made her face an extra ball.
The game was finished without declaration 
No one defeated, no one was win.

One side the flooded Ganges 
Other hand the hungry lioness 
Childhood song i understood this day.
Hurt lady at home  
Corona warrior was on road 
To catch culprit of lockdown 
Difficult to select 
Either stayed in or out in lockdown. 

I stood unmoved till conscious back
Hurriedly i took towel to use as mask
Opened the doors and ran out.
'Stay in', ordered a cop to me
But who had time to listen it.
A ball from my doors targeted me
But this time luck saved me.
Married man knew married  man very well
So he helped me to save from hell.

He said me politely,
'stand under margosa tree in isolation '
I followed his instructions with deep breath 
But it was damn evening 
When honest man asked me, 
'Choose home or quarantine of 14 days'
There was no option 
So defeated soldier turned back to home.

She was sitting in sofa as queen 
Watched as tigress looked lamb in grass green. 
She turned on the TV at high volume 
Highlights of WWE was going on tv screen 
Punches after punches listened neighbours 
With wrecked smile on lips
 They asked me next day 
' who won the match yesterday?

Triumph

Triumph
                             Frank Halliwell
In silence, in the velvet night,
lit by pinpoints of vivid light,
I wander blindly to the south,
immersed in frigid seas.
My age is lost in time's shadows,
..in aeons of primeval snows,
Borne from the Greenland glacier fields,
far from the warm land breeze.

My drift; by currents is maintained;
my course; by fate is preordained,
Before midnight I drift inside..
the busy shipping tracks.
A lookout spots me in the dark,
a radio transmits the spark.
I am reported to the world
and cautious souls react.

But from the east this winter night,
a black colossus steams in sight,
Racing to the west despite
the danger waiting there!
Her goal is shipping dominance,
her high speed fueled by arrogance,
Before the night is over,
the result will be despair.

I wait, and I feel no remorse,
in spite of the collision course,
For I am just a passive player
in this deadly play.
They've seen me now, but much too late,
and there is no escaping fate,
A glancing blow is struck and leaves
her plates in disarray!

My mass absorbs the mighty shock;
my body solid as bedrock.
I shatter not, nor tremble
as the ship glances away.
The icy water rushes in,
filling compartments to the brim.
Fifteen hundred doomed to die
seek refuge in dismay!

But there is none; nowhere to go,
the frigid water is the foe!
The ship is listing badly now;
the end is near at hand!
Lifeboats are lowered with all speed,
but are too few to fill the need.
'Nearer my God to Thee' is heard,
played by the doomed ship's band..

The stern rises above the waves,
then plunges to her watery grave,
A plume of air and flotsam mark
the place of her long dive.
Water too cold to sustain life,
kills them as surely as a knife,
And in a mere ten minutes
none of them are left alive!

The cries and shouts and prayers have ceased,
the sea returns to lonely peace.
The engineering triumph rests
among the crabs and snails.
The news is spread around the world
and flags at half-mast are unfurled,
Fifteen hundred families
are left to weep and wail.

In silence, in the velvet night,
lit by pinpoints of vivid light
I wander blindly to the south
immersed in frigid seas.
My age is lost in time's shadows,
..in aeons of primeval snows,
Borne from the Greenland glacier fields,
far from the warm land breeze.

>>> Titanic is gone.

Oodles of Google Doodles

Oodles Of Google Doodles...

visually delicious as  germane strudels
the following cooked years ago
courtesy me noggin awash with noodles.

Yours truly crafted remaining poem
around 27th July 2018
idea arose within me cerebral dome.

...As poetic theme came to mind
     in a Serge without a waiver
thus, I took a virtual Page
     from Google LLC to slaver
with little effort
     in an acceptable
     rhyming rant and raver
about said American

     multinational technology company
     that rode dot com bubble,
     where other startups did quaver
specializing in Internet-
     related services and products

     rolled out amidst
     much fanfare palaver
though odd, how such an obvious
     idea hit me like figurative brick
over thine noggin

     upon instantaneously espying
     Lyudmila Vladimirovna Rudenko
     Soviet chess player, and second
     women's world chess champion,
     from 1950 until 1953
     when bitta bing bitta
     chitty chitty bang bang
     that eureka momenta did click

mental wheels and cogs
     as if...an oil derrick
hit a mother lode, thence subsequently
     inducing automatic flick
     as latest feted persona grata
     gets done up in bold face and/or Italic,
nonetheless a commendable
     spontaneous fantastic burst

     of inspirational magic
commensurate with mine
     modest prolific quixotic
of course, I WON'T applaud
     idea de jure as terrific
and puzzle over, how such "a ha"
brilliant idea did not occur to this -

     Ok la home ma sooner
     ushering world wide
    webbed trumped "FAKE"brouhaha
sooner to the mind
     of this humble caca
Louie, who admittedly
     feels tidy bowl flush with
     goo goo Lady gaga

(tony the TIGER FEELING great,
     a mild euphoria if gifted
     as lottery winner)
over the top smugness -
     unaware of jeering ha ha ha
within dark internet arena,
     where the much maligned,
     loathed, and feared Jaw

bar wall key (jabberwocky)
     dwells ready to pounce
     outsize egos hated
     like an incorrigible outlaw
hmm...perhaps cognizant

     ex post facto, I set
     a deadly faux paw
forever remembered as
     ornery oaf forced to eat raw
bits (hexadecimal at that!)
sucked in via last turkey in straw
     that broke the camel's back.
