Prototypes

I did not plan to be a single cell amoeba
or this me, a conglomerate jigsaw of a being
a million times removed from primordial goo.
I was peacefully inanimate at times
endowed only with a little foggy awareness and contentment.

At one time I was George Washington’s commode,
Shortly before that, King Georges Whoopi cushion,
yet there was never any great blueprint 
for my random appearances on this fat round globe.
No design, only once in a while,
an accidental hominine arrival 
panting from a million journeys, a similitude 
of what a human could be - given very much more time.

Reincarnation is a flawed theoretical conundrum.
No one ever claims to have been something made
by a bored passing tinkerer, yet creation is creation
after all.

Hundreds of times has Cleopatra 
been lived-in like an old recliner in a nursing home,
is it any wonder that her image now
sags like a broken concertina?

I once (maybe several times) was a dog,
once a dogs dinner dish.
animation is often overrated; being stoically stiff
has its own rewards.
Dogs on the other hand,
are pretty good prototypes of a model human being.
Many ladies have been inhabited
by my wolfish lechery,
alas only I do not recall those pleasantries.

It’s not easy being a multicellular organism
I long for simpler times,
however I can do this, I may even devise a plan
to jump a generation or two of aspiring exemplars,

but I must wait for my brain to stop swelling
then shrinking like a bullfrogs throat
which recalls to mind a time 
spent wallowing in Mississippi mud -
passionate nights I remember all too well.


No Way To Return No Ways

No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No simile will be an apt story there
How the sky splashed the color within
Yet, his eyes and the depth of the blue, unfolding for a  numerous times
In my wandering thoughts as the twilight is fading through the covetous time
And the days are a passing sory, long gone is she
And there, darkness settles in , slowly, 
again and again
And the night blossoms in mayflower
As the stars fade away.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
Only, the other day, his love
Yard had a walkway, where she touched the grass
Hiding the handheld lamp
Along this way, she walked, and she had her lantern, too.
In darkness with the stories behind
Her face had a glow, in similitude
As an island in isolation, in an oceanic pulchritude
And here I am, now, facing the seashore
Waves and waves , they sound in uproar
And touch the land, only to return in shear grace of mother nature
And the seashore remain their broken dreams, a foamy dense moment, they clutter 
As they know me now, in goodness,  and they wished for  me to be better
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.

Premium Member Listen Closely, My Son

So much to solicit, but with substance excluded,
she mimics intimacy, but leaves one secluded.
Flatteries slip off her tongue like honey's sultry sweetness.
"Come to this incensed bed for pleasure's soft caress."
Like a crafty serpent's spiel, her lips slither stellar speech.
Secure your spirit, flesh, and soul; she'll sample some of each.
With silken negligees, she'll sustain a slave's stronghold,
stealing one's strength like the lust for shiny gold.
One's best possession is sequestered, that of self, a sword within,
squandered to a showy stranger, a satanic mannequin.
Leaving spouse and offspring grieving, an egregious price to pay,
some have spurned their own cisterns to search for soggy clay.
Listen closely, my son, with stern discretion be wise.
For she will lead you in similitude as Eden's sad demise.

The Two Unlike-Pole Analogy

THE TWO UNLIKE-POLE ANALOGY 

Analogically, this simplicity of poles might communicates 
extensive comparison of things life usually complicate. 
Just as the tale of "magno magnets", 
Like-poles repulsively repels even off a border 
and unlike-poles abnormally attract one another. 
The north pole of two magnets are set asunder;
Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other, 
but the like-poles are overly at loggerheads,
Similitude to electric charges which postulate same rules:
Like-charges repel, and unlike-charges attract.
This theory sums up the summary of a proven fact. 
The irony of life is, two different souls are match-made, 
We're bedazzled with such common rarity that doesn't fade.
It's sporadic to have two people with same traits
or cosmic (birthday) twins becoming soul mates. 
By taking a leaf out of the analogy of unlike-poles, 
attraction is established and so is unlike souls.

Similitude

They were in her mind,
She pencilled them in her heart,
They came forth from her,
Asimov’s children, 
She bore them,
One after other came forth,
Generation after generation,
They were transformed,
There was a transition,
 Artificial intelligence hit the
 the crescendo of the technology world,
It has held bound in the corners of the world,
It infiltrated the realms of space,
Agile robots and androids
 interface with humans,
Humans are overly
 dependent on them,
The laws of robotics 
have their shortcomings,
So also robots are flawed beings.
They are no match for humans,
Despite their pitfalls and stumblings.

Scars

SCARS

Show me one who does not evolve
And I'll show you the grave.
A chemical reaction that comes and goes is love,
so is heartbreaks which turns your fire off;
Causing life scars and memoirs,
inducing painful ecstasy and tremors.
Are scars ugly and imperfect?
Mine's not; they never go away like life's precept
but keep waging like the windstorm.
To mortality, imperfection is a norm,
Today's bruises similitude to tomorrow are mere token.
Scars are not reminders of what's been broken
but rather, of what's been regenerated:
The EVOLUTION of being is created.

Love is a similitude diva of a butterfly soar

Love is a similitude diva of a butterfly soaring- A Song of Nazrul Islam Babu (Niaz Mohammad Chowdhury)

Love is a similitude diva of a butterfly soaring higher on a flight of blindfolded pastime
A restful walk through the memory lane, a glimpse into the mirror of a tranquil mind, to be rueful, once again
Some of all these are longing, some are doodling to yearn
The churn of the longing to meet the asymptotic is no more to be nominative, still undone.
Yet again, love thrive to reborn, to beseech lover's reach, nonetheless
Some ponder love a heart song, a ripple on a pristine mirror
Once broken, the stain is irreversible to realm into oblivion
Eternally bonded, to reign through the saga of longing again.

Premium Member Lets Tends To Our Friend Caren

LET’S TENDS TO OUR FRIEND CAREN 

Caterpillar in chrysalis,
mummified pain,
sleep it off.

Doze o beautiful butterfly,
wings clipped
but for a raging season.

Fair garden waits,
as your friends
tend to pests,

at your behest,
and string pretty things
that will win your smile.

Fly, with your similitude of pattern,
delighting in your fairy garden.

The twinkle of green and periwinkle
dusty stars, grins of slight mischief
in their wiles,

while you sleep, heaven’s child,
while you dream in winsome hues.

Recollect your joy,
touch the milky white moon,
sleep, sleep,
rest your toil,

leave it all behind.
Weary eyes turn to opalescent skies.

Arise, dear friend, arise
anew.

Beginnings wait for you…

The gang you tend, tender hearted for you,
waits for the embrace of replies,
ever faithful Caren.

Premium Member ''seed of Love''

I sail unaware 
into
 
the ocean currents 
of her life:

and 
smitten, I 
desire to ride 

them with her.

Somewhere 
along
 
the ocean 
ways, a 

seed of love 

plants itself in 
the soil 

of my heart 

and takes root 
and grows—

only to perish 
like 

an embryo of  
hope 

that's aborting itself:

though I love 
her still, 

she cuts
and lacerates my heart 

like a careless 
knife. 

In spite of 
this cruelty and myself, 

I look

for encouragement
in her stare. 

And 

at the outlines 
of her 

magnificent 
form 

I marvel: 

she is 
indeed 

a Helen of Troy, 
a Venus— 
on 

whose 
loveliness I 

so richly gorge! 

But never was 
a lonelier
man 

more wretched 
than I 

am, 

as she cannot
return 

my
affections  

with equal measure 
of feeling

or passion.  

I would be gladder 
had she been unwedded 

to another,

and could more 
easily be 

within my desirous 
and jealous 

orbit! 

In time, I 
never 

see her 
again;

and love, 
or the similitude 
of It—

like 
some aborted 

fetus—

flushes down the  
toilet 

and dies

with her parting 
as well...
