A Bridge Too Far

Here lie a dentist and his wife.
Long in the tooth they left this life.
Young Smith inherits in the will
Two gold crowns and a dental drill!

It's a Play Dough

Time warped, perception bleak. Clay bodies falling apart.

The shift of stance in reality motions the notion, that inherits a vast chasm of possible retribution.

Cracked mood shifts met with insomniacs last choice, lies wake with the dread of falling asleep.

Kaya

The body mind and soul in divine material consciousness,  
Unleashes false ego annihilating awareness;

But nature inherits all the ingredients of true dharma,
While "I" individuals contemplate they perpetrate karma;  

 Between dharma and karma it is the knowledgeable Saya,
That remains unattached to the ever evasive Maya.

From Womb To Tomb

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.

Premium Member Waxing Nostalgic

     A middling pudding on the table
        flies hover in the livery stable 

    Mud-covered boots ascend to garrets 
        frowzy days London inherits     

    Dickensian scenes to rive your heart
        by urchins, street vendors torn apart  

    Yankees delight in their ‘good old days’
       Englishmen sniff the rot of decay

Burnt Out Words

Tryst with nano was like burning in hell.
Headless body of truth,
turning into invisible particles
flaunts an absent God.

The mist envelops a rag picker –
sleeping on the payment.
Hunger fresh grown will be served,
when sun rises.

Indelible ink an yellow pages
bearing the burden of unborn grief
inherits this globe, the ashes
of burnt out words.

                                            will rightfully
                                    inherits heaven's blessing
                                           True perfection
                                         - jewels are trifles

Premium Member Night Inherits What Day Cannot Keep

Night inherits day's endless chitchat,
shares it with the starlit canopy
holding imagination thereat. 

She is on the wrong side of normal,
as if she's a mental amputee 
or lives on a lonely sea’s atoll.

She fancies she is a butterfly
or a flower-chasing bumblebee,
but I reckon she's a damselfly.

Let her frolic in her fantasy,
ever in that starlit apogee~
forever night's lovely adoptee!

Space

Space, immobile as the wind that never stirs
unless some pivotal calm inherits, serves,
I love you there, the being not unnerve!

Where silence walked beside, between embalm
of yesterday, our joy, our moment's psalm,
I love thee there, not in conventions alms.

I love thee, giving praise
when all else harms,
a necessary space, the self's alarm!

I love thee though alone
God's promised balm!

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE UNDERSTANDING MY IMPORTANCE

Today I’m grateful for understanding my importance in the continuum of life…
my place in the spectrum of happiness and peace…
and knowing no matter how old I grow
my importance will never diminish or cease.

Because every generation inherits a world it did not create…
and to that world must add more love, acceptance and laugher
as that generation become the guardians…the trustees
of the generation…coming after.

Alien On Earth

Look at the brilliance this fascinating planet inherits,
It is intriguing, 
unlike my very own,
the sphere of life at its finest,
waters deep blue, and sky just alike.
air so crisp, mist blowing onto my soft skin,
It feels like I am alien to this world,
but truth be told,
I am human,
that has been in my world
so long that I have forgotten the one,
in which I truly live
I am a human,
yet still,
an alien on Earth

Eternal Wait

Fear of becoming sane
inherits the hate of earth.
I wake up in the rains of time.

Fire of soul
extracts the thought shapes
like stark naked truth
in the desert of pain –

unbirthing the child of wisdom.
I hardly think, in my failures.
The house will go up in blaze
by the earthen lamp of fading glory.

There was no light, a quick death
of lips and speech. The human touch-
prints had avenged for words.
Inspiration will wait.

Premium Member Vagueness inherits the Pond

Everyone has a favorite pond.
Where they come to place garnish upon...
Some bring koi and water lilies.
Singing stones- the scent of mint.
Wading birds dressed in paradise.
Cattails waltzing with the wind.

Envy arrives at your pond.
With treble hooks and buckshot eyes.
Turning tranquility into graves.
Plastic bags dancing in the shade.
Serenity forever pocked, a fifth of envy clanging off the rocks.
As a vague gray scans the quiet-quiet frons.

Collateral

When the curtain falls, the puzzled instinct 
inherits the confusion of clouds. The beleaguered 

moon goes into a rage. Hungry vultures start
a wait for the fall of a titan, stimulating the sun

to exhibit the trove of the golden rings. Go
blackberries, with bloody roses into the dawn.

Whole night our bones had gone crazy. Flickering
like stars on the lake of speechless body.

All his life he was searching for the windows
to let in the fire for burning up the boots.

Leah Sharibu the Unsung Heroine

Intrepid damsel,
a heroine unsung.
A willing martyr
with courage
unrivalled.
Unransomed captive
with a ransom
infinite.
She gladly faces
death with eternity
in view.
Like her lover before her,
she chooses to be
a sacrificial lamb
to the slaughter.
Leah Sharibu,
the heroine unsung.
She that chooses to mortify
her passions
for timeless paradise.
Hardly daunted by
Kalashnikovs and
thunderous explosives,
she inherits a world
deemed abstract by
unfaithful adherents.
