Odyssey of Oddities

Loving life hid beneath rim of cool ceramic bowl
Tree frog claimed proud place, toilet's homely hole
Enamoured by his simple palace making stance
I bend to peer at his green grip toe stick, entranced

My ordinary admonished by gaze from onxyx eyes
Quick reflex and instinct, skills by which Frog relies
Shine of black marble smartness lures me nearer
Knowing even with my bulk, I'm somehow inferior 

Rubber eyelid winks, peels open again enlarged
Eye wrinkles droop to hammock, I'm encouraged
To nestle within  humid folds, shrunk human glued 
Oscillated in his lid lures languishing duly procured

Spun suddenly, rubbery cocoon cosy lurches erratic
Some worry occurs I'll drown outside skin hammock 
Prior to paranoia taking over, thrown from dizzying ride
Launched into stark big bowl with steep slippery sides

Swim in cistern spew strangely renders me cleansed 
Lap in lurid blue sends me to inevitably to S bends
Whooshed and flushed with refreshed perspective
Dark harassed by diffused hues tug seductive 

Dolphin derived, my smooth unphased by spiralling
Saturated zones, ease honed, enamour never tiring
Snorkel hole snorts water, puffs readily on its purification 
Imbibing combines giddy with clarity, senses' temptation 

My forehead flicked flirtatiously by wide flamingo flippers 
Splayed feathers fan surface, showcase dance floor shimmer
Cabaret her costume, shakes crystal bead rainbow release
Ravishing precise pirouettes prim pink princess completes

Her curved beak caresses my porthole brain, rubs insistantly 
Into warm walnut shell weapon I'm swallowed quite quickly 
I spy through pomegranate seed eye, mirror lake unswayed
Stilled kindly by wind's nonexistance, decision to travel made

Climbed to bird's tiny tiara topped crest, covered in feathers
Graceful lace tu- tu floats my aquatic future endeavour
Bouyed weightless and grateful, flip draws no resistance 
Swim in S bend treasure, trip of sight resumed brilliance 



*** Spring has sprung!! 
      - in Australia 
      My branch beyond
      The tired pond
      of Earth, awakes
       Imminent Heaven 
      (perhaps) 
*** A collapse of facts
      Flight of  flamingo regalia
      Revel in place of waste
       -  Mystery flush takes
      on its S bend

     Then we were running in teens :
     I was his Valentina, he was my Valentino
      I had firm faith , that he was mine.
      Smoothly our romance to grow.

      Days were passing, no confusion .
      Budding youth in ardent amour
      Drinking desires ! Vibrant passion .
      Two young hearts on graceful glamour.

     Me open-minded, innocent
     and influenced by your smartness.
     No question for a moment !
      Just callous, lacking alertness.

      One day you left casually,
      just telling to meet by tomorrow.
      Days, months, years passed actually -
      Till waiting, to greet with ‘Hello !’

       You sent me to Fool’s Paradise !
       I trusted you  as my lover.
       But a betrayer came in guise
        to hit with black Excalibur .

        Journey of life through thorny bush,
        chased out any expectancy.
        Always melancholy to push,
         Sinking in despondency.

Transfer of Power

I dream a world of contrasts and evolution
Bold smartness and resolution
In so much as:
Flat things are flat for all people,
and shades of gray are not adulterated by photoshopping.
Facts and opinions regain their identities.
Deception is an accident not a strategy.
Trust is earned.
Empathy is respected as a strength.
Impulsiveness once again is the domain of toddlers,
not an asset of adults.
The racial spectrum achieves a balance and cohesiveness 
unachievable by Versace or DaVinci or Trump.
Our differences are assets we share.
Ideas are guided by compassion and wisdom,
and triumph when they find their words.

I dream a world of contrasts and evolution
Bold smartness and resolution

The Beaten Path

Frostily, your teeth clench when you say
Do not let yourself be so bush league:
Turn around, chin up and walk that way!
So, despite my self-doubt and fatigue
And, trusting you, I will go astray.

Having spent my life trying to prove 
Myself something more than a loser
Once again, I find it hard to move
Without advice from my abuser...
But I know you would disapprove.

I possess neither smartness nor luck,
Pre-determined by genetic code
Toward a fate resembling havoc,
When I faced a fork along the road
Your voice smacked me along for luck.

Though my strong preference would have been
To chose the path of least resistance
Mediocrity would be a sin
Since you trained me for persistence...
Yet, still, this road of  humiliation.

Showboating a dreamboat

In your life, goodness has its best role,
You made being great looks really very cool,
Your success is cherished even by all fools,
Your kindness is used as an effective tool.
.
You are more pleasant than being a dreamboat,
Your smartness is even deeper than a sugarcoat,
Your goodness flows easily from coast to coast,
In the ocean of wisdom, your intelligence floats.

Your affectionate smile, is soothing to many hearts,
Your compassion is beyond the fill of carts,
Your comeliness is yet to have any copycat,
Your goodness comes at the drop of hats.

May God's blessings always be in your life,
May your life be full of exciting laughs,
May your haters' efforts do a swan dive,
May you life be full of melodious jives.

TODAY IS YOURS

If there is a need to know what goodness really means,
Then that's when the purity of your heart needs to be seen,
And the reason why greatness has clung unto you since your teens,
So, anyone not giving you credence for your brilliance is committing nothing but a grave sin,

The vivacity in your smiles is enough panacea to wake up dead emotions,
The sparkles of your handsomeness cause affectionate commotions,
You exhibit intelligence as if smartness is on your exclusive promotion,
You effortlessly dish out wisdom as an off the cuff donation.

Success daily flows into your home like an endless river,
The reason why your level of greatness still has no rival,
'Cos your longstanding achievements are what others are just celebrating as their new arrivals,
That's the extent to which your accomplishments are making others to quiver.

May each day of your life be filled with overpowering happiness,
May you be blessed with good health in awesome plentifulness,
May God's abundant blessings surround your home in astounding exclusiveness,
May you live long in spectacular richness.

The Missus is angry, Rufous told his wife.
Are you sure? She sounds like that a lot.
Her husband just flew off with the babysitter.
That young thing! What? His wife was outraged.

I think so.
The wife grabbed the binoculars.
That’s not the babysitter; that’s his son!
His son looks like a girl, Rufous said.

I have told you this time and time again.
Male peacocks are the pretty ones.
The plain ugly brown ones are their wives.
Rufous did not want to acknowledge his wife’s smartness.

So he kept looking, hoping something would happen to validate 
At least a tiny bit of the story he fabricated about the neighbors.
His wife smirked, knowing exactly what her husband was doing.

Television's Funster's 
Two of my favorites 
The Addams Family and the Munster's 

The Honeymooner's- with Ralph and Ed 
Their still on late at night 
Fun to watch- 'fore we go to bed 

The Odd Couple- a comedy treat 
It is certainly odd 
Oscar so messy, Felix so neat 

Fred, Barney and Dino the dinosaur 
Got to love the Flintstone's 
I must have watched them a thousand times...or more 

The Little Rascals- all of the gang 
Spanky, Buckwheat, Darla... 
Oh, and how Alfalfa Sang  

When it comes to smartness- Abbott was the worst 
Costello was the genius... 
He wrote- "Who's on first"  

The smartest man to play his part 
Obviously, it has to be Don Adams 
He was "Maxwell Smart"  

The funniest lady of them all 
The one that I love 
I Love Lucy's- Lucille Ball

Of What Is Love's Stake


Love walks away...
Day-in day-out on what heart wants,
Leading astray...
What heart needs, hurting what lust flaunts

Against heart's will;
Tomorrow shall find out the best,
Lust don't run still
To sustain beast; a trying test

That locks up joy,
Of unrest gauge- swinging heart's eyes
Like a playboy,
Whose smartness can't hang up late sighs

Wandering near love,
Enough to beat tricks; lust employs.
Quest seems a dove-
Taking love down on track, hade poise!

What is love's stake,
If life ends all dreamy heart, wished?
Lust brings such ache...
Upon all love builds long vanished!

Yet hope stands firm,
To conscious choice of what love hate.
Running off term;
All day long till nonsense negate

Lustful hope's time,
Reaching for timing, love would stop
Heart rating crime
Love negate towards been the top.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO DOES WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Luke 1:37 Praise be to God for with Him, 
nothing shall be impossible by His:
Sovereignty’s supremacy in our salvation-security
Supply’s sustenance for our satisfaction-sufficiency
Suffering’s seal along our sanctification-settlement
Strength’s support upon our service-steadfastness
Scriptures’ standard along our sacrifice-sincerity
Stature’s significance for our submission-serenity
Smartness’ superiority over our supplication-shelter
Stability’s sturdiness while in our success-shining
Servanthood’s specialization with our surrender-sobriety
Stewardship’s statutes against our stubbornness-silence

Luke 1:46-47 Praise be to the Lord for letting us 
magnify Him as we rejoice in Him Who is: 
Blessing always our souls with His best
Building up our strength against boastfulness 
Bending our self-righteousness to bow to His bracing 
Beautifying our spirits midst bliss against bitterness-blows
Bringing our supplication along our beseeching toward bountifulness

Luke 1:68 Praise be to the Saviour for blessing us 
with His favour which is a: 
Great possibility by His grace along our faith
Good pleasantness by His gift amidst our fruitfulness
Granted performance by His governance along our followership
Glad promise by His generosity against our futility and faithlessness 
Goal-goaded propelling by His gearing guidance away from our fatalism. Amen!
