Premium Member My Name Is Scheherazade

I do not want to die
Like each virgin you bed
When you have ravished her
It's off with pretty head

I do not want to die
But…Oh to be with you!
The supreme ruler, KING
So handsome, yet so cruel

You wanted your revenge
On woman who betrayed
The one who broke YOUR heart
So you must have them slayed

But what am I to do
When brought before the throne?
When you have had your fill
You’ll bow to oath you’ve sworn

And here I am tonight
The Vizier's flesh and blood
My beauty may not save
So knowledge I impart

A story sweet I weave
As in peace you recline
On cushions of damask
In scented room divine

You’re lost in what I say
Your interest...at its height
And there I stop the tale
To be spared on this night

You ask to lie with me
Demurely, I refuse
I promise you delights
When I'm no longer Muse

And so you let me leave
The richness of your bed 
Wanting to know the end
My tale plays in your head

Each night I leave undone
The story on my lips
And wantonly you beg
While grasping shapely hips

One thousand nights have passed
I stand before you now
With no tale left to give
Will love suffice somehow?

You come and touch my cheek
I look up in your eyes
"I've come to love you now
You are my love, my prize."

And so my life is spared
You whisper, "Sweetest Dove!"
My stories all forgot
You've fallen for my love

You tell me through the night
Your own love story fine
And now I let you taste
My flowing luscious wine

No virgin girl…now Queen
My love has set you free
And now Arabian nights
Are filled with ecstasy!

is war natural

Are wars as natural as forest fires?

The world is a restless war between India
and Pakistan's armies are ready and eager to fight
as usual, the people are ill-informed 
Israel has a problem; people are in an uproar 
the way the sitting regime mishandle 
the constant warfare, there might be a civil war
the USA, that believes in an uni-polar world  but
see they are no longer the world's ruler
Europe wants more war in Ukraine 
Alexandre Dugan believes in a multi-polar world
he is correct; the age for supremacism is over  
Or is it as many people think that war is like the plague 
a natural phenomena buried in our mind
from time to time, to destroy and mass murder 
will occur, will not stop until the old order is destroyed
then peace can come, and the world is set free

Jasprit Boom Boom Hurrah

Camera zoom...Boom - Boom shakes the room


All eyes on the prize

Rise & lies of franchise

Moolah the crueler ruler

Sparking doom and gloom

Marking Test cricket’s demise


If there is a golden ticket 

Doing his bit to save it

King of swing..ping and kerching


Another out of orbit gambit

Harder to decipher than sanskrit

Sure fire hit…well it has to be Jasprit


Vortex vex…whippier…that flex…nippier 

That stammer…batter’s cortex hex

Voodoo..hoodoo..hullabaloo juju

No real defects..trippier zippier 

Sledge hammer..T Rex


Bumrah unravels…travels in a perverse 

Parallel universe..almost tectonic

Every component…supersonic 

Reverse exponent..demonic


Bucolic rollick & frolic

Bionic hypertonic

In cricket's lexicon

The bowling Don

Definition of iconic


Out of the box…runs amok..

Forever will outfox…bubonic

Deadly as smallpox

Cricket’s salvation & emancipation… tik tok sensation

No mystery how he’s making history


His gall…feats with the ball

Puts the most bums on seats

Gets them in a spin…hear 

The din….gleaming…beaming grin


Watch him spar…gory glory

Top fella & stellar superstar

The death kneller...genie in the jar

Fortune & story teller…nobody on a par


Best seller…so fans near and far

Come on let’s give a massive hurrah 

To the one and only…Jasprit Bumrah!

Premium Member Who Am I

Collaboration with Marcello Eans

I wonder from above, “Was I ever one of them?”
It’s easy to feel small in a universe so vast.
What kind of lives have I lived and where have I been?
Why can’t I remember anything from my past?

I’d like to think that I was a ruler of many,
Leading my people in the best way I knew how.
I think to myself, “How wonderful it must be,
To live a normal life on Earth in the here and now.”

Was I ever in the Oval Office, World Trade Center,
Guest at The Last Supper, Nobel Peace Prize winner?
Saint or sinner, male or female gender?
Worked hard for the money, or illegal for legal tender?

Parent to one or several, sibling to some,
Yearn to experience emotion, but my feelings are numb.
Bone chilling to some, my desire to be part of this EARTH,
Surrounded by family & friends celebrating the day of my birth.

I do remember one thing from a former life of mine.
It was a little over two thousand years ago.
I was friends with a man who changed water into wine.
He saved my life and told me I’d never be alone.

There was something about him that made me feel safe inside.
So, I followed him on his journey until his very last day.
He once said he had special plans for me after I died.
I was given wings and I chose to help others find their way.

Lonely Seed

The seed is set a quarter of a ruler
Its life on earth will be hardy and fuller
After water, rays and time, it will be a great ********
Into a beautiful; uncommon sort of attraction
 
Humans come and want to pick her pedals
This tiny little seed has grown into a medal
Decisions to protect this growing flower;
Thorns are grown in order to keep her power
 
They come to gawk and see her golden wonder
Her life is empty, though they feed her hunger
She needs a seed to grow right by her side
To germenate and feed her heart and mind
 
The heat is now beginning to take its toll
Maybe next year her seed will be set within a bowl
This way her roots will not be running free
Her knowledge of love will be limited and steady

Premium Member The Wonder of Wonders

The world is filled with wondrous sights
majestic falls, Aurora’s lights.
Some wondrous structures men have made
have passed the test and made the grade.

The natural world with wonders filled
in every age has men’s hearts thrilled.
From the skillful design of the eye
to the beauty of a clear night sky.

In every cranny of God’s earth
surprise awaits and wonders flirt.
Which of these wonders of the eyes
will win the grandest of the prize?

Wonder of wonders ponder with me,
God garbed in flesh how can it be?
Eternal God confined to time,
Ruler of heaven, trapped in earth’s clime.

Infinite power in a helpless babe,
born of a virgin, a daughter of Abe.
Wonder of wonders ponder with me
God in flesh dying, on Calvary’s tree.

The Magic Pan Flute

Vesta saw Eros on the shore and was aroused.
She cursed the uoin or Eros and his wife
Psyche and said she should
eat with the wofs from which she had
came. She said her husband Titan should sudues her to make her
pregant and then inpregant her
that he then would view her as equal to Psyche. Eros laughed at her
and told her that Jupiter her brother had been wise
and had kissed him before he had married her
to ensure that neither would meet and be lovers.
When Eros frowned, Vesta fell knealing before him
she begged him to take her home. There she would beg Jupiter to forgive her for thethoughts of beinbg unfaithful. Jupiter hearing the story told Eros to leave his Provdence and become the problem of Zeus.
(Juoiter was the God of Rome and Zues the God of Greece)
Eros then biult a house on the border of bothe Rome and Greece
and dared either God to dethrone him.
He planted fig trees and and raised swine. 
he carved heart shapes in the trees
and made The Nectar of the Gods
and serenaded and feed many people.
When both Zeus and Jupiter heard of this
they consorted to To dethrone Eros
of the place he saw himself as ruler.
On Feburay 14 in the of Unkwown.
Eros's pan Flute floated from the table and began to play
evry apple and fig fell from every tree
and the swine all ran into the sea neverto be seen again.
Psyche held him inher arms
Eros felt the defeat of two Gods
and was humbled.

The Power of Love

Romeo and Juliet
Their love prompted their society to fret
And led to their suicidal death
In one of the greatest love stories yet

Lancelot and Guinevere
They had an adulterous love affair
Which demonstrated very clear
Her unfaithfulness to her husband dear

Paris of Troy and Helen
In his love for her he was so smitten
This led to his country's ruin
And also cost the lives of many men

Anthony and Cleopatra
He followed in the footsteps of Caesar
Who was also her son's father
And he made this foreign queen his lover

Samson and Delilah
He was well known as a strong warrior
Until she became his barber
After which he lost his strength and power

David and Bathsheba
Through loving her, he became a sinner
And turned into a murderer
Despite his image as a great ruler

Shah Jahal and Mumtaz Mahal
Among his wives he loved her best of all
Their love he made monumental
And embodied it in the Taj Mahal

I Am Common To All

I am  the air so nothing will be my boundaries and
nothing will control me to write
I am the water nothing will polute me  and
nothing will restrain me to flow
I am the fire nothing will near me to exploit  and 
nothing will misuse me, mis handle me
I am common to all and 
none can claim my thoughts and my poems 
My heart will shed tears on all disasters
wherever it may happen ,I t will shed tears
My mind will run behind all Sufferers and
my hands will be ready to heal their pains
No boundaries to me and to my humanity
May be I am an Indian 
I will be the first man to go to rescue in their problems
My religion is human  my language is Love and
my country and ruler is Peace  
Yes my country and ruler is Peace
The entire globe is my home  and
all the lives are my blood relations
Welcome to my heart it is so huge to
keep all of you in it with love and Peace

Royal Reasoning

a narrative with alliteration

Royal radio reviews the Rainbow Raffle Rally planned to raise rubles 
for the rugged racetrack recently recommended ‘round  Rybinsk Reservoir.

One rich ruler, who runs the Ragweed Railway resists with red-ribbon resolve. 
His rogue reaction to a ring of rubber stamp rednecks
left realistic Regnum reporters in a rush to rock their readers
regarding the rift between the Ragweed Roadblock and the Rainbow Raffle. 

Rather like a rabbit racing a rhino, such rivalry is not reasonable.  
Rally is off the radar - racetrack has been royally rejected!
