The oncoming
So also, is the thinking of the enemy.
Millions of people will be killed and nature already
Devasted will collapse too.
It appears to me that the coming tragedy is ordained
That unknown forces will make it this way, it is uncanny
That we blithely walk around with no care in the world
As the Damocles sword has loosened from it ropes, and
Is about to fall.
What is left is scorched earth circling around the sun
The seasons will come and go in in silence and we shall
Not hear the joyous laughter of the young.

The oncoming
The human tragedy is not to learn from the past
The world is in an uproar a nuclear war is coming
The belief is by using a smaller bomb it will not be so bad
So also, is the thinking of the enemy.
Millions of people will be killed and nature already
Devasted will collapse too.
It appears to me that the coming tragedy is ordained
That unknown forces will make it this way, it is uncanny
That we blithely walk around with no care in the world
As the Damocles sword has loosened from it ropes, and
Is about to fall.
What is left is scorched earth circling around the sun
The seasons will come and go in in silence and we shall
Not hear the joyous laughter of the young.

Got abdominal pains, could mean a poop
Take heed or you'll soon be poopin' in your suit
Something to avoid
A gigantic asteroid
Sometimes accompanied by a big log to boot

her heart was galloping like a horse
i could feel without touching
i listened to her chest unaided
she was anxious yet happy
alarmed yet content
i could hear the words
the endearments
unsaid
the mountains were moving
with a sigh of relief
softly
divine music flowed like
a river
stillness of the lake
invigorate
throws me into a sudden
ecstacy
voluptuously
i couldnt hold any longer
i couldnt wait any further
i couldnt resist and yielded
to the temptation
the wood was dense
yet the foot steps paved
by the generations the persistence
of the memory
helped me find the right way
the solace the warmth
i was waiting for
i entered the dark cave
with utmost care and passion
without hurting kindness
guided me in the narrow corridor
then forgetting all softness
i galloped like a stallion in the race
uninhibited like a child
i sailed in the ocean of love
wingless flew in the blue sky
weightless like a sparrow
opening the unknown horizons
splitting the atoms unaware
bashful yet considerate
splashed in the oncoming current
i was lost in the river of love

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
- Dr. Seuss
Beams dim...beams bright
Headlights...too dark headlights!
Tyres screeching...eyes screaming terror’s thread
Sirens wailing a deafening... ‘Life’s under threat!’
A high speed chase onto one way traffic
Bells ringing...the crash paints chaos too graphic
Hurry, hurry...ambulance on the double!
On_off surviving grizzly-like-troubles
Fireman down the sliding pole... fire truck under the table
To the accident scene in the kitchen...survivors to unmangle
“Mommy...mommy have you seen the policeman?!”
“You ought to take better care of your toys young man!”

Good morning my Sweetheart
Although you’ve got nothing to gain
Your love is as pure as the imminent oncoming rain
Wipe sleep from your wakening eyes
And prepare for the oncoming day
With needles and diets and timetables
No respite nor no time to delay
From pains in your tummy
And bloods taken throughout the night
I wonder at all how you manage to love me in spite
Of the pains you go through
You’ve a heart brimming so full of love
No remorse nor self pity
You’re my Princess my Angel my Dove
Though life can be cruel
And at times it can seem so unfair
The tolls that we pay and the burdens oft’ too great to bear
I’d lay down my life
And all that I’ve left that’s worth giving
To grant you a wish and afford you
A life that’s worth living
For my little Princess …

I watched the storm come in.
Grey clouds swirled before me
the wrath of the gods
fell upon the humans.
Grey gave way to black
and lightning lit the darkness.
I watched the tempest
moving in from nowhere
become everywhere.
Rain fell,
light at first
but soon, it poured.
The rage of mother nature
the anger of the gods
all rolled into wispy puffs
of gray black matter.
It overtook us,
overwhelmed us.
No one had kept watch,
no one prepared,
I watched the storm come in.

Few hearts now weep to see you go
O cold harsh naked winter
The last icy tremor of your merciless winds
Fizzling through the choked air
Leaves it's thinning threads in
The oncoming fairyland of Spring.
Winter have you gone, answer me?
A refreshing winter you have been
But how we have longed for your departure
Away away and bury yourself, O harsh east wind
Go now, your season is over
Snatch off your furred coating
And bid welcome -
To a bursting singing Spring.
Welcome, welcome, first lady of creation
Your sweet scented grass sheds tears of dew
Tears of elation, as morning peeps.
As foetal clouds now bathe us
In your new re-birth
Winter threads it's skeleton hand
With it's new love Spring
And with it a new energy is born.
Greenery buds with purity and freshness
The orange canopy floods us with her mirth
While the swelling sun in giant splendour
Can no longer conceal
The first flush of Spring.
The world is awakened by it's mighty arrival
The dance of the daffodils is about to begin.

light in the distance stutters and winks
disappears.
there again. brighter.
closer.
the ground rumbles beneath my feet
vibration in perfect symphony with
the rattling disorder in my head
untethered
brightly colored balloon drifting
willy nilly taken by random winds
free
falling
apart
lovely approaching light, angel bright
blister blight, hug me tight
just right, nighty night
put out the light
sleep tight
beneath the wheels
