Clever in my literacy 
Impaired in my itinerary 
Noted for variety 
Daunting in my propriety 
A jaunting of notoriety 
For wanting serenity 
exempted from purity
Quaint in obscurity...

There goes my fighter poem
carrying words on the back...
Seeking , opening paths
for those who don't have them...
My poor crooked verses
intend to be route
for those who don't have  itinerary......

How vast is the distance -
So I thought - between cradle
And what was the final ascent
To a plateau good and whole.

What fine opportunities
My wrinkles record as loss -
Hmm ... if only said itinerary
Were sooner traversed....

Day Begin
Wake up early like birds
Pray, exercise, think, less worry.

Day end
Close encounter with traffic
Patience, fix composure, relax, silence.

Bed time
Dine, talk with your family
Play chess, kiss goodnight, pray, sleep well.

Weekend 
Spend more time with family
Talk more, smile more, love more....

A quiet, tranquil space
Isolated from the human race
Shuttered from life's obsessive chase
Disappearing without a trace
No itinerary; no suitcase
Fleeting time to erase
Solitude, serenity to encase
A staggered, slow pace
Only my thoughts to embrace
All expectations, challenges efface
Billowy dreams my saving grace...

I''m doing the speed limit.
Pass me if you dare,
It's on purpose that I'm within it,
my itinerant confrere.
Reconsider your position.
Please stay off my back side,
I'm in the labor force too,
Let's be safe ; enjoy the ride.
The harvest is abundant 
the laborers are mighty few,
Stick around,
The Lord may still need you....

God waited for me, literary
Everything was always ahead of me, itinerary
I was always full of me, stationery
If work could change me, bribery
Then God summoned me, Calvary
And, God waited for me literary

My itinerary
Quite literary
Got me stationery
That Calvary 
Was the only bribery
And, God still literary
Waited,
For me....

A yacht named Archimedes passed
Behind the local ferry,
Both likely headed to complete
Today’s itinerary.

I know just where the ferry goes
And what it’s like to ride it.
As for the yacht, I’d love to see
Exactly what’s inside it.

My chance of doing that is nil,
But not so with the ferry. 
How different would those two rides be?
You know the answer - very!...

As I turn the pages forward
I am taken on a journey-
A non-spatial continuum-
Time; a willing time-traveler
Where no luggage is required;
No passengers to contend with;
No special itinerary.
Just a conceding eagerness
To be taken along, alone.
The destination known to one-
Invisible but trustworthy;
The varied characters are him;
Put another way-imagined.
Where I’m taken is foreordained....

Beyond the world lies a journey,
a horizon that acquaints a magical destiny,
a solitude with soulful eternity,
a milieu abiding betrothal vicinity,
where deity is within the eyes
and the  faith adobe vivid smile.
 
Beyond the human lies a viability,
a nascence that exhale a verse amorously,
a spirit with blissful sovereignty,
an admirer beaconing Elysian itinerary,
where deity is seen solely,
to a hermit heart wallowing ethereally....

The moon has its own itinerary
Going about its business
As if I don’t exist
Within this world of exhaustive
Pieces of a whole
Just like the moon harvests
Only full but once a month
Eating away at itself
It moves along with grace
Unbeknown to the reality
That the sun
Only has so much to give
And will on day expire
Leaving the moonlight to die
Within its own desires
To be on its own devices

All day it rained. 
There was no destination. 
The futurist will incite 
the blue light in the itinerary.

You can convert the eye 
into moon. The sky follows 
the assassin under- 
the cover.

O Brother, I wanted to 
scream. Lines were not clear 
but the blood was same, 
in syntax and on knife.

The potential, the genius, 
the capital. They were clubbed 
to win the game. The earth 
will go searching the fakir.

In the deepest hole;
My hand raises the soul;
In the darkest night;
My torch bears the light.

In the midst of despair;
My kindness upholds the fair;
In the cruelest sorrow;
My salvation is a better tomorrow.

My name, your refuge;
My love, flowing deluge;
My home, your sanctuary;
My river, single estuary.

I am the way;
The itinerary of everyday;
I am the life;
The passion ending strife;
I am the truth;
The wisdom set forth....

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....

A system that pushes,
The boundary of memory,
Left me feeling useless,
With a future of drudgery,

Started off confused,
Not knowing a direct path,
Defeated and abused,
Sorted in the rough,

Initiative gathered as junctures passed,
Self-education, knowledge compounds,
Passion factored, failures do not last,
Reaching aspiration, a purpose profound,

Life follows no curriculum nor itinerary,
Perseverance and patience are life's best referee....

As The Crow Flies

Staring past the curtain,
At the vigilant crow upon the mast,
The creature unaware of a presence,
In a moment forever lost.

Unflappable in its endeavour,
A breather from its hunt,
A distorted view of the world,
Its cackle alerting its murder..... of its next tenacious stunt!

Unperturbed by darkness,
Its itinerary meticulous, movement, stealth like,
As day gives way to darkness,
A sky drifting magenta decline

Was it my fault
you lost your diamond earrings?
You said so.

A dozen hotel mornings,
packing again,
trying to meet itinerary deadlines
tightly coiled, breathless
hungover.

I might have scooped them
into a hotel room trash bin
in Rome, Geneva, Paris, or London;
you drop them anywhere,
or you may have left them
in one of a dozen vacated bathrooms.

Not that I am accusing you.
Try to relax, we are fully insured
for unforeseen eventualities
including divorce....

So this southern bigot wants to be President?
From which hell hole was this guy sent?
He believes he can pull the nomination off, it seems.
Well, I will put an end to all his dreams.
I am following this dude all over the country,
despite his large campaigning itinerary.
When he comes close to shaking hands with the crowd,
I will empty my pistol, and the shots will ring loud.
Here is my chance to be a part of history.
For this noble deed, the public will thank me.
