Birds be flown.
Winter abandons
And takes no prisoners....

When noise abandons sound
Buried inside wordlessness
With nothing more to speak
Hush that pulls you under...

Returning
to a sleep
reality abandons

You become
what you dream
—so forever sleep well

LUCIFER abandons his throne pell-mell
As he got bored being the Lord of Hell,
Decided he got to quit,
Enough of this fiery pit,
And moves to earth to enjoy sins as well!...

My disability might impede me, physically, 
but my mind runs rampant, 
even if my spine abandons me sometimes, 
my spirit always flames bright.

There is a hidden driver
she sits at the wheels silently
and drives the vehicle calmly
even to no-go destinations
you reach unaware sleepy
but she abandons you there
satisfied or full of imaginations
Eros!...

One of life's challenges
is to find your own speed

Where travel is constant,
 destination in sight

Too fast,
 and yesterday abandons your future

Too slow,
 and memory stretches beyond your grasp

Self interest abandons us all
Politicians on the make
shades of muddied truth
flicker like worm casts 
Information over lorded,
lingering secret conversations
in dusty corridors
The consequences need no mentioning
The reasons I can no longer comprehend...

Limerick : So this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain – 7

On Jan. 16 : declares lost her paper(s)
On Jan. 17 : Consulate declares her spinster
Next day abandons son
Sets up shop : Free Maison*
Named worthy Napoleons’ Sexual Advisor !

•	Maison : French for house or even firm.

unwanted, he covertly creeps into my thoughts
lest, to his disdain, unwitting smiles might escape
hope’s thief demands his own satisfaction
abandons me to wither in vain love’s desert
mock him I do when rising spirit permits happiness
control’s power victoriously beats within

Let's celebrate each day
         that mishap abandons us...
         Let's live willingly,
         let's vibrate with the demonstrations
         of joy, and we fight
         against everyday
         adversity with stoicism,
         Only then can we
         reap the sweet memories
         when everything over...!...

A pithy moon
climbs
on a skull
to unmask the alien,
blacker than coal.

A pregnancy reduction
was needed
to prune out
the motor plan of the moving
target, who had-

a neural circuitry
for obstructing
the light. Can you
transcend a prude who will not
accept a celibate ?

Not so sad, a beautiful face
abandons the darkness.

~~~
Tumbling and rushing
Grumbling and gushing
Through reeds and over great rocks
Swelling and swaying
Dancing and playing 
Mid nettles thistles and docks

But down the low glen
Where moor turns to fen
The river slows her fast pace
And there in the mire
She loses her fire
Yields and abandons the race

WOMB -
Dark and deep inside.
Suffocated and unconscious.
Soul inherits the body.
A new child is born.


In between -
Joys and griefs.
Part and parcel of life.


TOMB -
Life breathes its last.
Soul abandons the body.
Back to the eternity.
Back to dark and deep inside.


From womb to tomb
The soul-cycle continues
From tomb to womb....

Confetti dreams floating away
An innocence again is crushed
Under the weight of the fall 
Countdowns to unconsciousness
Filled in flutes of sorrow
As the masses mimic cheer

Confessions secretly stored
Under wraps of indesgression
Carried out the door
Self inflicted suffrage
Abandons another war

Anxious the path's unearthed 
Repentant intemperance subverts...

If a genius chooses not to embrace his gift,
will he live to endure deeper pain

If an artist doesn’t strive to create and unfold,
will she die in a chasm of chains

If a Prophet loses faith and abandons his path,
will he wander a desert unknown

If all lovers grow distant, away from the heart,
will the world lose its hope
—so alone

I spot you writhing 
in your shell
undersized however 
you possess an ocean
tally and release a tide
bestow your 
tenderness to distinctive

forsake, further 
vacuous chest
until slender bird
abandons nidus
his feathers come to 
craft a verse of reliance

what a precious devotion
It's a ballad that... 
I always create for you.

Rags and cloth alike
Cover thy skin
Bare skin, bare emotions
Essence of strength
Thick and thin circumstances
Never inquires, Never contemplates; 
Society abandons, morals unjust.
Abundance of courage, of faith
Seething through pores, writhing through veins
Heart like gold, his aurora shines
Colors of livelihood filter, intertwine
Light shimmers in
Dark layers out
The horizon is beautiful....

It is now.
The call of unknown.
A doting mother-
writes a child.

I am, collecting-
the words. To speak for the
death, which was hestitant
to come,
against the will of grass.

The grassroots diplomacy,
catches the wind.
Abandons the footpath,
goes to the marbled floor.

What do I do-
at dusk ? Become wordless
like a deep sea-
waiting for the moon
to bring the tides ?

equidistant concentric circles of light
dancing to rhythm of soundless thunder
heighten throbs of magnetic bliss delight
as essence of presence looks on in wonder

grid lines vertical sprout branches horizontal 
taking the pilgrim to experience not in scriptures 
vaporised consciousness to divine surprise amiable
abandons dependence upon self proclaimed teachers

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS COME OUT TO PLAY
NONE In DISARRAY
WHEN FAMILY ABANDONS YOU
AFTER SOME TIME, IT BECOMES REAL, TRUE
SO MUCH PAIN BECAUSE BLOOD SHOULD BE THICKER THAN WATER
OH HOW I THANK GOD FOR MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER
SO MUCH JEALOUSY FOR SACRIFICES I MADE
WHILE THEY ARE STUCK IN MUD AND WADE
I FINALLY LEARNT THE BIGGEST LESSON OF THEM ALL
IF THEY WANT, THEY CAN CALL
I'm NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THEM ANY MORE
WHAT THE HELL FOR?...
