bitter words fester
through the stench of his glare
and the ugliness of his heart
she maintains her poker face

All the wild critters run a race
But Nelly maintains a calm pace
So calm in her ways
Her actions display
No feathers ever ruffled out of place!...

Humanity rests
                                            upon the foundation of peace

quite coherent and aware
eyes wide open 
so continue to stare
here's where the tempo picks up
and the rhythm maintains 
caught in a daydream 
pause in a refrain...

Mangiferin crammed,
Magnificent fruit king...
Mingled with vitamins,
Minerals and fibers
Makes marvelous milkshakes...
Maintains mental health by
Marring malefic moods......

Indian food has recently caught my fancy
Delicious and it also maintains my chic chassis
May sound like bragging
Do I hear you gagging
Can't stand it myself, my bod's always been baggy...

   Mosquitos beat their wings
     Man beats his chest
   In order to prove
     that he is the best

   Mankind maintains he’s
     the ‘Crown of Creation’
   Though his coronation’s undone
     by malarial invasions

Ancient building, columns define.   Eden’s forever garden hidden.  Indelibly juxtapositioned kaleidoscopic lake maintains numerous orchidaceae.  Porticos’ quaint, reclused, sequestered.  Tetrastylon unseen villa’s with xystus, Yogananda’s Zen....

    Time is reality
    A deck of cards
    with a joker
    Coincidences
    does make a difference

    Draw the ace
    don't be picky
    Steady steps
    mechanically driven
 
    Time, a macabre prank
    sinks deep
    The night train maintains its route...

Anxiety's child
grows deep in me.

The seed of woe
and misery.

Impregnated
by my fears.

Embryo fed
by swallowed tears.

Yet I shall never
give her birth.

For she only
maintains her worth

by blackening
my heart and soul

and rendering 
my life's blood

cold....

Guru chakra maintains vigil
Regulating bliss heat
No sooner we surrender will
God’s touch has heart upbeat 

Soma begins to flow 
Then thus does, our soul grow
Through five sheaths, conduits glow

Buried under troubles, A golden heart lay. 
Deserving but ignored having been given away. 
Continues to support without demands, maintains wellness. 
Not from desire but its role in sustaining life. 
The heart functions as the organ of love, 
Sensitive to pain, inactivity, 
Does all that's necessary, For the sake of one....

The grim timber for destructive constructs
Of war machines, of spears and arrows
In time of terror, its somber moan chills air
And fuels the hottest fires of the forge

Ever unfazed, the Oak maintains
That ghastly ambiance of buried winging
Post and pending conflict 
Its song remains the same.

without might
                                              no one can protect
                                                    honesty

                                                king maintains
                                             citizens bow down
                                                weak beggar...

Bleak sky of blues, stars gave rise to a miracle been made,
Streak of a sprawl unfurls his heavens tethered madness,
Speak not lest he loses his concentration, maintains focus,
Meek town his groundwork, lofty jewel amidst the sadness.

The rise and fall of Empires 
The rhythm of existence
The story of Nations 
The sequence of life 

As a Nation as a man 
The story is same
Only appearance differs
The component is the whole 
The Whole is what makes it up

Rising and falling 
Even in one lifetime 
Life maintains its sequence 
Undulating to test the voyager...

Sewage of a signature smell
coming for the Smoke detector
by the intake of a cooling and heating

how clever, how sick
you will never be
voted the best of operations
to repair maintains

itchy, itchy, smell like rotten hell
but will sum (some)one go to jail...
not in the this pound (town)
not in this life bind (time)
time...

Beware your saviours.
But why bother learning now?
Indulge yourselves some dignity, best give up and lie down.

It's what you wanted.
Don't dare ask why or how.
Built empires off your backs you simply furnished them a crown.

One fix the other.
And all you get is broke.
Short-changing you maintains their float so in their debt you drown....

The darkness shrouds me
It's loving embrace
Holds me in place
Here, I feel free

It comes to surround me
An emotionless state
Here, I create
Balance eternity

Darkness brings liberty
Dries tears from face
A pitstop in the race
Displaces or maintains sanity

Dispose of tragedy
To quickly replace
Clean slate, erased
Darkness sets me free...

Auras of assorted color
Undulating with the breeze
Tolerating the alchemy
Until the seasonal period
Maintains demands for
Naked limbs diverged of their burden.

Splashing downpours
Playfully cascading upon
Lovers enveloped in a sweet
Embrace. A breath of
Novelty in creation
Discovering a balance
Of order in the
Ripening buds for contemplation....
