whispered rumours of the true things


drown in  shallows of ego's hubbub

NOTE
The philosopher Walter Benjamin's comment on Kafka's writin was the inspiration for this

These are the busy
hours of hubbub operation
but they do not interest me

I am interested 
in the after hours quiet

What it is to be a crow's
nest, overlooking a town,
in perfect silence....

I've never understood the hubbub
  from so many members of the club
    of those who can't keep resolutions

  I have always found mine easiest to keep
  buried in a drawer near where I sleep
    ~ talk about 'Simple Solutions'...

Acid Metaphoric was overused
Professor Doctor Hubbub was confused
"It might have been stolen
Or it might have swollen"
With tabby cats Professor Hubbub schmoozed

in the shadow of yesteryear-
                                       distortions paralyse to-day's dream
whispered rumours of true things-
                                       drown in the shallows of egos' hubbub
and hidden,almost invisible-
                                      wait prurience,cloaked in desire...

Today decided to
Play hooky from 
All responsibility
Took a mental health 
Day away from the hubbub
Of the societal rat race
Took time out to set back 
And take a lode off my tired feet
Took a day out of the busy week to 
Take a step aside along the road 
To stop and smell the flowers
That we often take for granted...

Amidst the chitter chatter, 
The cool breeze blows, 
In the hubbub of life,
Poetry freely flows;

Listen to its sweet murmur,
Reaching you through the din,
As the breeze touches you, 
Tingling your skin;

Jot down the soft words,
Slowly as they come,
Smile as it refreshes you,
In this dull humdrum.

Sir –
Late in the noon as usual
Came the vergers with the sharp bells
(Prof, a roused lad saw not the Vicar)
Announcing another blessed excursion;

Of course, Sir –
The endemic hubbub
Reigned in the nest
To be vacated in a hurry;

And the piecing bells
Hinted of the swords in the rafter
Plunged in full poise by pig-watcher
(Prof, a roused lad saw the inscription)
‘Flee, meet the siren at midnight else!’...

Distant city nights,
Those faraway lights,
On the eastern border;
Colored lights quarter.

There should be hubbub,
And people club to club;
Dancing nights of August,
Music mellow and robust!

To that far, dreamy place,
With life's quicker pace,
Excitement is now calling,
And my heart is falling!

Those far neon lights burn,
As some observe and yearn;
Glowing colors of the night,
Under the silvery moonlight....

Start from you bathtub, 
Next, sweet creams to rub
But skin first towel, 
This handling quite well,
On one’s face powder 
For praises louder…

Then, your clothes put on 
Besides your slip-on, 
Fast, good belt fasten 
But you don’t this hasten 
And skip a sewn hold,
As though one is old…

From your used bath tub
To your enthused club 
Some food better grub 
Against a hubbub… 

In a vulgar club 
They do eaters snub....

In the midst of hubbub, at the verge of one hectic June,
I see myriad diamond stars, and ruby sun under the moon,
As viewed from a planet of jade green with sapphire blue,
Covered by pearly clouds, vanishing in moon's silver hue!

But I am only dreaming, for it is the middle of the day,
And from sunshine I have wandered, into night's doorway,
And the golden sun has set behind the scenes in my mind,
Only to reemerge as I wake, leaving night's riches behind!...

From
our pink deck with a Jarra  cocktail table-set
We sit awaiting  sunset with an
 ‘Hawaiian absence’ of seagulls
As dusk comes  with violet echoes
across the spotted water,
from the resturaunts
 comes a wine hubbub - table- laughter

Mountains, marshmallowed
in occasional cloud on this still night- 
constant torchlight on quiet water
un-moving palms, paddle sounds

A swanky stingray drifts past

A shadowed water taxi 
and strangers who wave at us

Frequent surfacing in night club
And the Lion sprouts from a cub
Soon, you cease to be submissive:
Life begins to be permissive.
With others you may shoulders rub
Sometimes, sincere courtesies snub.
A used-to-be-meek aggressive,
At inconstancy progressive....

In night clubs be sure of hubbub,
The filthiest thoughts served perfumed dub
Yet, life here should be extensive;
Clubs heal could The Hypertensive:
Others are asleep you are awake
And, for the fun of it, sometimes rake....

CIRCUS IN TOWN

CIRCUS

The big top towers
stilt walking clown welcomes one...
happiness assured.

 CLOWN

With teardrops falling
children uncomfortable...
head in lion’s mouth.

KNIFE THROWER

The hubbub crowd pause
blade glistens in the spotlight...
anxiousness relieved.

HIGH WIRE

Life’s giddy balance
on the tight rope overhead...
one’s ambitions met.

LION TAMER

The slash of the whip
controls the snarl of the wild...
giant *****cat.
