Custodian of Apostrophe's Apostle

Who done it, steed?
Who said what's read
between the lines marked
with ad hoc diacritic dashes?...

A custodian of life…
 guardian of the coming dawn

Survivor of the truth untold,
—protector of what’s yet to be

The moors seduced
The Sahara Desert Mountains
Mastered the Mediterranean Sea
Keepers of the flame
Custodian of Egyptian knowledge
Their horses made of moonlight
The world shall never be the same...

We are a generation aborted after birth
though the elders tells us that
we are the custodian of a brighter tomorrow,
that is false, the truth is,
we met our future in the hands of politians.
Money
is more valuable than
life
never will we believe that
we are a generation aborted after birth!

My office is a meat locker.
We could hang a hog in here for a week.
It would not become rancid or even warm.

My office is a meat locker.
I am dressed in long underwear
And four sweaters in eighty-eight-degree weather

My office is a meat locker.
The custodian is my best friend now.
She comes in here to cool off....

The technological era we live in

As

The "Blasphemous One" will be recorded in the annals

Of human history

Because Man,

Instead of acting as the custodian of life on earth that

God intended him to be,

Unwisely, 

Was transformed into life's merciless annihilator!

THE CUSTODIAN

The husband never forgave me
I'd given him a slim five hundred
He cashed his ticket in on a stormy day
I could not enjoy the song and dance  of rain
No nostalgia!
I swayed like branches blown by wind
But not once did I fall
I could have had a ball with sudden wealth
I said, 'Your half would be yours
Mine goes hither and yon.

My son Jacob, he follows traditions
  Religious, he has certain ambitions

    He prays to God three times a day
    I think he even knows what to say

  Straight as an arrow, and square as a box
  Jacob took a liking to bagels and lox

    Sister snitched: Jacob prays right before he eats
     ~ that I don't slip a slice of pork in his daily treat...

Everybody owns an office,
Though not already swiveling its chair;
Everybody, custodian of some promise,
To think differently, simply unfair.

The yet-to -be jangling -the keys to -it
Isn't to be dismissed as unfit
Between Mr. Dalton and Lady Eunice,
All repositories of some gift
Before their last breaths have it surface
If not stupendously, more than a bit....

This glowing nightscraper ‘s iridescence
Brings older fishermen persevering
Through misted oceanfront’s  territory
With  lighthouse  exploring disturbances.

Tall tower---devoted  custodian,
Beams protect travelers’ fascination
While glitter envelops humankind
In faithful , reverent  dedication.

Who told you that in the village 
It is all through garbage 
And one can’t life manage?

And who said that every village 
Swarms with Evil and The Savage:
The Devil or his Mirror Image?

What we do to the village 
Is its picture damage:
Nature’s custodian deserving our homage; 
In it few cars and hardly Road Carnage!
Where had sprung many a helpful adage!

And we forget from cities grows no cabbage....

Your lips were me.
I wanted a kiss
which never came.

Insertion of a word, was committed
my wings took a flight
for anonymity.

To keep suffering alive
truth was accepting the hurts.
I was not speaking for myself.

Who was me to want a praise
for the custodian of morality?
Something for my name?

I must salute the fallen fingers,
who did not write death –
for my hugging blankness.

To confront his terror 
he changed the game 
plan for a mystery dive.

The custodian of a flame 
will show serendipity. 
Sun was enveloped in a dark matter.

The Teflon  has disappeared.
You will remember the things-
you did not understand.

Someone nips at your heels.
You run faster. The evil 
was flying home.

The house was in disarray.
Give me a comb to keep 
the dark figures out.

Come. Invent.
Do you believe in all these
fairy-tales about love?
Or are you a hardcore skeptic,
who abhors romance?
Come. Invent the ghost of love
perched on your porch like a
silk Persian rug. 
Love's a new mansion full of
possibilities, a heart's shrine,
be a faithful custodian.
Come. Invent. 
Let's face it. You need a whole new
wardrobe for your emotions. 
Stop procrastinating. Come.
Invent, a new destiny, a new
travel itinerary....

There are strange secrets
That the hearts have kept
—Mine, a custodian of many;
Yet the strangest of all still unkept,
And what that is, I know not.

There are quite queer sights
That the eyes have seen
—Mine, a beholder of few;
Yet the queerest of all still unseen,
And what that is, I know not.

There are weird feelings
That mortals have felt
—Mine, a witness of some;
Yet the weirdest of all still unfelt,
And what that is, I know not....
