twoo twoo twoo

O the cheerful melody

bad news on t.v.
floods are carried away
Dear children swept like dust

twoo twoo twoo
   twee twee twee
O the cheerful melody

that once filled the camp
there was dancing and crafts
and a chain of hands

twoo twoo twoo
   twee twee twee
O the cheerful melody

of the waters, beautifully sunned
then in one catastrophic strophe
a beast arises, releases frenzy

twoo twoo twoo
   twee twee twee
O the cheerful melody

of campers, one minute
sleeping, tethered to their beds
then out of their heads with fear

twoo twoo twoo
   twee twee twee
O the cheerful melody

of birds in the calm of afternoon
a cup of overflowing caffeine
pleasantry and dreams

   dreadful nightmares
hold our loved ones close
we must. we live. we cry.

Life Passing Me By POTD

From obscurity come the strangers
Fading away, like old dangers.
Walking the street of flowers
more people pass every hour
A few are pleasantry exchangers.

Near my porch, robin sings
Beautiful music for summer swing!
Red berries in a bowl
Kelly green butterfles, on patrol
Noontime's for swaying and musing.

Passersby, smiles of the moment
Starry eyes, upon distance fervent!
Jasmine fragrance in the air
Pink hummingbird is stopping there
Yellow balloon wafts by, silent.

My Sweet September

Oh, my sweet September, I have loved you all my days.
Please allow me to count just a few of the ways.

Each time you arrive at the Crack of Autumn, 
I am arrested and feel like I belong. And the
sound of your three syllable name echoes
like a romantic  song.

I come alive to the pleasantry of your presence.
And your 30 day abode initiates the season
With your captivating and divine  fragrance.

Witness To Nirvana

Written: September 09, 2023
_____________________________________________________________

In the sphere of exuberance and delight.
Places where relationships provide insight. 
There's a sweetness in the mellowness.
Emotion embellished without devilishness 

Intoxication of perpetual bliss,
Unceasing happiness, a blessed kiss 
Of goodness and joyfulness combined,
In connubial union, two souls entwined.

A love unending, forever blessed,
In the sacred vows, they have professed.
In this realm of unending delight,
Rapture and felicity bear flight.

Everlastingly, it shall be,
A nirvana of love for all to foresee.
Ageless and eternal, their love shall be,
A pleasantry of ecstasy and glee.

In the realm of geniality and cheer,
Their compatibility shines clear.
Exuberance and joy cram the air,
As their love blossoms beyond compare.

With evermore beatitude they reside,
In married bliss, they cannot hide.
Congeniality and blissfulness abound,
As they create their own paradise found.

In the realm of amenity and peace,
Their love shall never cease.
Eternal and heavenly, their bond will be,
Committed bliss for eternity.

Sprinkling Love

Have a day that's full of cheer
I'm sending love to show I care
Pass it on to someone else
Dont keep it all to yourself
Spread some happiness around
Through the lands and through the towns
Don't be stingy let's others see
By using some pleasantry
You can show how to release
Lots of kindness care and peace
I challenge you to take this dare
Sprinkling joyness everywhere

Awake

Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

Psalm 57:8 NIV 

How marvelous to arise from the bedsheets
to sing, O my soul…to awaken the psaltery.

To awake the strings, those melodic strums
of pleasantry, O my heart…to lighten the dusk.

Wake up, O Dawn, I see you in your glory dress.
Sweet sunlight wipes the stars from your eyes.

Awake! Awake…my glee, I’m a child of the King.
Do not the robins, bluejays, and doves sing for me?

Awake, O my soul! Awake! I hit my beat
as my feet dance in the bedroom street.

Desire and Aversion

Like diverse partners in a romantic tango
Ebbing and flowing through intricate steps,
Daily we wrestle with desire and aversion
Working in tandem contradictory concepts.
Wanting that which often repels our senses
Hedonistic pleasures do assault our mind,
Making us lust for things that are forbidden
Ethical compromises are so difficult to find.
The dancers separate and come together
In a delicate pattern that pleases the eye,
Achieving the pleasantry highly esteemed
A balance of life’s tenors we instinctively try.

Road Trip

Miles racing underneath lively conversation
Whistling road noises and occasional bumps,
Time passing slowly to our expected destination
As concrete expansion joints create thumps.

Whistling road noises and occasional bumps
Punctuating rhythmic sounds from the stereo,
As concrete expansion joints create thumps
Sense of contentment and pleasantry is apropos.

Punctuating rhythmic sounds from the stereo,
Cool breezes flow from open dashboard vents
Sense of contentment and pleasantry is apropos,
We are enjoying filtered outdoor autumn scents.

Cool breezes flow from open dashboard vents
Moderating the humidity of September heat
We are enjoying filtered outdoor autumn scents
A highly-anticipated road trip is totally upbeat.

Moderating the humidity of September heat
Time passing slowly to our expected destination
A highly-anticipated road trip is totally upbeat
Miles racing underneath lively conversation.

A Memory To Cherish

Troubled by the colleagues’ dirty tricks,
Exhausted by the day’s hard labour,
Bored by the routine domestic work,
Once I wanted to visit an old friend of mine.
Seeing me at his threshold,
He welcomed me with a ‘Duchenne smile’.
As if he found a treasure in me,
Gave me a ‘bear hug’,
With a feeling not to lose me. 
Many a pleasantry was exchanged.
His condition was the same as mine.
We both got strength and solace, 
In each other’s company. 
Oh! What a memory to cherish!!

Journey

Journey, viewing life scenery
Mind-body doomed to die
Mark each moment with pleasantry
As love does for bliss vie

Although desires yet hound
Love suffused, feet on ground
We then are never bound

Look-see
Journey

Nature Versus Mankind

Metropolitan city, a fast-paced city   
            Tantalizing desires, dazzling fame stealthily bound to disintegrate 
Swelling population, clustered houses, disparity among people, gazing with pity 
High ambition, stiff competition, insensitive attitude sneakily tend to deflate  

                        Flashback memories come to foresight together  
Once, dense woods stand tall, creatures under one roof altogether  
A mark of solidarity and in cohesion, help each other

      Drooping trees bemoan, ‘How callous mankind axe us for pleasure’
            ‘How anyone tear us apart, lament in displeasure 
                        Selfish and greedy, in equal measure. 

Confronting setbacks, man with nature hasten to discuss nitty- gritty 
            Realized, hankering after mundane objects, inner self tend to degenerate 
      Thereafter, exchange pleasantry with one-another
                        Harmony and unity exist, a priceless, glorious treasure.

Growing Up

It would be a pleasantry if I stayed a child since-
Growing up is something beautiful however.
Goodbye to the youngster within
I look forward to accommodate him now that he’s older.

Shades of Stillness

How still is our stillness amidst wave forms,
memory triggering faint imagery
brewing consciousness limiting thought storms,
interfering with joyous pleasantry,
blocking divine bestowed serenity?
Dynamic stillness, nestled in silence,
present in love energised ambience,
simply is, as it is, with bliss replete,
flowing in the current, with nonchalance,
throbbing with ecstasy, feeling complete.

Ice

People are duck-walking,
The ice has stuck,
only the sky just above my top lip
is melting.

I move forward 
by counting the parked cars 
on this side of the morning.
A bundled-up woman I knew
from last winter stares at me,
she is way across the street,
sheets of black ice divide is.

Hands wave inside suede mittens
makes me think of cold kittens
like the one I did not save
one winter, abandoned, it looked past me
into its own abandonment.
today it’s me out here in the dead-eyed light.

The woman across the sheet ice
is a figure under a skating sky.
I imagine that she only believes 
in a warmer memory of me,
figments are fragments 
on this cracking ice.

She was in service in Vietnam
she nursed,
this part of her I remember,
but the weathered face
underneath her mouth-covering scarf
does not smile at me.
She is done with healing.

I understand,
why should we even try a pleasantry
abandoned as we are
on this street
that keeps sliding forward
forgetting for us
our last but one footsteps.
