Electorate witnesses wounded beast...
flailing, lurching, and writhing in throes of agony

courtesy elite militia incapacitates,
(yet doth not kill) mortal enemy.

Tis a...

Or floats one's boat

Never looking back, you know 
He made himself a family...

With looks of celestial damsel
On mission of mystery unravel
A fairy flies from foreign land
Fabulously to discover dreamland
With colourful feathers silky
Plumage so soft as cream milky
With a huge brain and physique
Seemingly bereft of travel unique
Marches with...

[Continued from Part Two]


The elder took no notice of risking life and limb.
Hither, thither ran the children, glancing up at him,

I saw a talk-show interview
of a new author, all the rage,
she had sold two million copies,
her book is everywhere these days.

A brush paints a picture like poetry on a page
Colors; for faded love but bathed in the brightest rays
It paints a picture of two lives, fading in graying years

I have fallen for you
Hear me calling

Every night and day
I try to forget about you
But unknowingly
I day dream
There you are
In front of me 
Confessing your love for me
You call my name
And I remain...

There once lived a worthy, wonky his view, 
Having invented a business model, 
Craftily he called it as Debt Spiral—

Got many a suit by his tailor made, 
All on credit—...

While idling away the precious minutes
tapping into the wide whirled web
a smattering of random words and phrases
(in an attempt to jump/kick start
pinteresting material to sink figurative teeth),
thoughts pinwheeled back decades ago,

when attention attuned to forfeited,...

I’m a glutton for love you know
Yet I’m a sucker for pain
Heart on my sleeve everywhere I go
Not wanting sustenance of refrain
Red on my palms entwined with another
Parading around like a stalking saint
Spreading the word...

Do you know all of these

even maybe five thousand 
tailor made suits?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's rather dark and bleak in here
and I think I've worked out why;

the conversation has run dry.

full of rhymes and rhetoric
But time ticks...
