Dark Leaf

Once foretelling portents swam within the
Apogee bath.
Torn wounds in flesh, 
unequip the afflicted. Lack.
Unilaterality Undesirables systematically 
inspect an overture unto the future.
Incisions.
Indecision.
Discussions.
Decision.
Resolution Found between 
Thigh
and
Breast Fat.
We spoke on the old West.

Distain allowed to follow 
in 
shadows' shoes.
Walk- 
from the gravestone tomb,
Talk-
from the cemetery plot.
prefer amnesia, anesthesia, or euthanasia, 
the lot.

Apposed to this undying pain, 
grief, 
return of
disbelief.
A contrite 
Sorry resentment 
Sodden in maple 
Solidity.
Solidarity pushed well past 
comprise while 
the unconvinced so
remained that, 
a sacerdotal yet 
antidotal dissenter.

Go on.
Permission to let Pessimism steep in dark tea leaves.
Reverse dove beneath the San Fernando crust.


Dimensions

In diversities do we find varieties 
Proving the infinity of The Creator.
For us these are but differences 
To raise the sword to kill and claim.
Unwise not to know truth of our lives
Every crooked line is straight in parts.

As clock marks every tick in time
Every atom has moved as per a law
But our minds ignorant to fathom 
But adamant on our derived faith. 

We live in utter bias and are blind.
while we have the winter wind
summer is forgotten in the mind
and again when the summer comes
we say the worst summer in years
and yet again those winter days
summer is forgotten by the mass.
We live on by this pattern that suits 
Deducing wishes from our dreams 
But wishes do fail at times and fall
By our own unconvinced will to gain.

In this lone journey of imperfection-
towards the perfection we dream
we have the Nirvana of Buddha
we placed the creation in Brahma
we found  the oneness in Allah
The fulfillment of love in Jesus.
one truth in so many ways to suit
yet we kill to hoist our own flags
Ignorant their colour is the same
The colour of the life giving blood
The colour of  love, uniting us all.

Premium Member A Studied Result

Could be you got            
So much attention          
Cause you proved           
Someone wrong  
           
Walk me through           
Your studied result,         
It's big picture,              
It's randomized study.
  
It has suckered us              
Into this hour's                 
Outrage-o-meter      
With no positive in sight.
                          
Only a dark night             
Never ending                 
Grabbing at ammunition             
For death ahead.
           
The trial unfolding
Before you.
                        
Could be I got  
Too much attention 
And you figured 
Me out.
  
Take back your inquiry         
Add to it hindsight           
Rewind on a meridian        
Apply your mind to it.
             
Embrace the equation            
The excellent math                      
Not the easy meth                  
We're too good for this.
      
I'm unconvinced.                    
No more reviews             
Or bad grammar,             
Past tense positives.

Could be we both
Got it wrong
.
At no time sincere.        
Sun has risen                 
Reason into it
Where you're headed.

Spot storms
In the late
Summer of our lives
Plan a vacation.

A visit to Ancientness
Sunshine to rain
Dark guidance
From a mondegreen.

The suited result calculated
Understood, copied and posted.

Premium Member Ode to Autumn


swaying gently, with the wind, her mournful dance
leaves unconvinced of autumn’s breathless fingers
ruffled as shy feathers who tremble by chance
risking impulse who silence says still lingers
autumn tells news of crackling paths so perfect
paved with golds, oranges and reds to collect

puzzling dreams pile up in the spirit who sees
songs of grace, fall’s aching praise on dew drenched lawns
melodies rich with hope, betrothed to the trees
who wander across peaks, peace on quiet dawns
jolt of what it means to believe in autumn
calm painting silence like a foggy bottom

wars were fought, once upon a time, on her soil
she breathed in the aching sent of bloody souls
while the sunlight caught hearts with glittery foil
autumn whispered her right that always consoles
far and wide, I see the splendor of her voice
even though I love her, I haven’t any choice

she has gone to such trouble to seek me out
leaving my heart immersed in her misty quest
I’ll always love this season, without a doubt
she is the one who assures me I am blessed 
without her quiet ways, her chorus of praise
I wouldn’t know the beauty that can still amaze

A Celebration of Memories

Your memories, a perpetual stream of visitors. 
Memories bursting with daring adventures.
Conquering the Kilimanjaro with an intimate artistic alliance.
Madness in the sky, a utter nutty experience of you flying a plane over the shore of Indian ocean, 
extreme manoeuvres, you called it 'Top Gun Style'
with that, I said “shoot me down, I'm already dead”.
Traversing across a deserted island, detached from the world. 

Stranded in the vast plains of Serengeti with a broken car and the unseen wild animals.
A taste of mystical wilderness of Africa, an insight to fragile life in a dangerous zone. 
You drinking my share of Masai's ritual cattle  blood drink,
vegetarianism was my lame excuse,
but you remained unconvinced
Exploring a volcanic mountain, never again toxic fumes fill my lungs.

Creation of life through our spiritual consortium,
where two lives emerged from me, carrying parts of you.

Climbing mountains with our offsprings with all the craziness of crying and yelling.
These eternal moments, I re-live on a quotidian in the sweet realm of my memories.

My soul honours our timeless connection, yet a temporary union of our presence.

Today in my heart, I carry your bestowed legacy of thrill seeking, adventurous, exciting, epic 'live in the moment.

Premium Member Bells Bells Bells

day snuck up
before I could shut
the big light down
and in this  land 
where church bells 
crack cold mornings 
I am caught
on a day in a place
I am not prepared to face
oh well
this place
won't miss this face
if it rolls over
until the bars open
the night can bathe me
in sweet silky dreams
tuck me in its warm soft love
and cover me with stars
when its turn comes
I'll be easy 
but this day 
another cafe
coffee and cake
a walk along the Rhine 
church bells 
morning, noon and night
why
they don't toll the hour
clock tower's easy to read
they just remind me 
of what I am unconvinced 
wonder what the bishop
living with them hears
you are stuck in a routine 
from which you'll never be free 
for which, he (not she) probably
is thankful 
day will never sneak up
on him (not her)
and those bells...
you know

Premium Member World’s Happiest Detective

A game of hide and seek breaks out
In the living room I duck behind the couch 
Like a ninja on vacation

My dog trots by
Sniffing
Chuffing 
Absolutely unconvinced
Until I pop out with a peekaboo

She jumps
Like she just met a ghost wearing my face

She sprints around the house
In victory laps of pure joy
Tail wagging so hard
It could power a small village

I pretend I meant to hide better 
But she’s already celebrating her win
Like she solved the world’s greatest mystery

Round two begins 
I “stealthily” slide behind a door
My dog staring straight at me
Because I’m terrible at this

Yet she still plays along
Bless her goofy heart

When I leap out again
She wiggles with delight
As if hide and seek was the greatest game on earth

Hap Hazards

I've never been good with things.
Electric toothbrushes need a lot of thought,
Some honey jars 
need more passion to open then I have.
Putting things together
is not my thing.
I break easy when mending.

I shine at midnight.
My hands 
become as flexible as sea anemones.
Words look from my eyes,
or else I tend to fall in love,
with dead dogs, or roadkill.

By morning I am asleep
in my body again.
Skills scream and flee,
as I stumble towards 
their small heartbreaking hopefulness.

I am good at twisting things together.
like knotty ropes and thin threads,
people come to me
(mostly the young and naïve),
Arrive riding skateboards through hilly clouds.
They come to admire, my left-handed life,
soon they turn away,
unconvinced
by my slack grasp upon reality,
with the way I insist that their petty wrongs,
are right ways to go.

I try to lead by example - by failing.
Friends let me off easy,
They quietly
cleanup all the odd bits and pieces
that I could not hammer together.

That list keeps getting longer.

THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY

THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY

There’s the prosecution with firm resolve
With a jutting chin, in that righteous pose
Poking accusations, seeking the conviction
And trying to expose all attempted fiction
But with that one last chance at the close
The facts, around which it should revolve

The defence, allowed just a little latitude
Offers reasons why police were mistaken
Upon such factors the case is dependent
And seeking sympathy for the defendant
Claiming that due diligence was forsaken
Open hands, an almost pleading attitude

Then the jury, some keen but others not
Expenses paid yet not covering lost wages
The judge is expecting our decision today
But we’re all still unconvinced, either way
And this trial has been going on for ages
Let us just say guilty with what we’ve got

Premium Member Rum N Raisin 10 - Three Months of Crazy

Raisin just stared at the chaos ahead
A kitten, confused as she sat there in dread
The world has gone mad, all the people have flipped
She glared at a window where blood and gore dripped

Folk wearing specs that have eyeballs on springs
Rubber bats hanging on elastic strings
Teeth that are pointed that vampires call fangs
A sycamore tree where a skeleton hangs

Raisin leapt back as a gremlin passed by
His mother ignoring the stake in her eye
Even our kitten was quite unconvinced
When someone approached with a brain that was minced

Green painted people with bolts through their necks
“Give us a treat or you’ll suffer a hex.”
Bedsheets with lights in and black holes for eyes
Sound effects belting out groans, sighs and cries

Raisin considered how humans survived
When all of this subterfuge is so contrived
Only a dog who might fall for it all
Might sit there and wait for his master to call

Pumpkins on doorsteps with faces carved in
A Skeleton’s arm hanging out of a bin
One man is walking though he should be dead
Because of the arrow stuck right through his head

Raisin rushed in through the cat flap and panted
“The humans have all gone bananas,” she ranted.
“The dominant species on Earth - it is said
Is out there pretending that they are all dead.”

Rum said, “Don’t panic, there’s nothing to fear,
Today is precisely two months till new year.
If Ronald Rat hadn’t said what that might mean
I wouldn’t have known that tonight’s Halloween.”

Raisin eyed Rum with suspicion and said,
“This three months of craziness fills me with dread,
For any time now, once again they will try
To send cardboard rockets up into the sky.

They’ll get tiny bombs and they’ll set them alight
And watch them explode in the chill of the night
It all says to me that they’re all round-the-bend.”
Then Rum said, “That’s not where the ‘crazy’ will end,

“For soon they’ll be wearing white beards and red suits
And walking on rooftops in black welly boots
But they won’t use ladders as you might suppose
But chimneys and reindeer and one big red nose.”

The door opened wide and their human stood there
Holding a fake severed head by its hair
And Rum rolled his eyes as he said with a laugh,
“Which is why dogs have owners, but we cats have staff.”
