    that unforgettable encounter
     that was never completed....

How may we identify
with egoic views of others,
rooted in dark delusion,
when our soul is free?...

I don't sight and hear you anymore
     you no longer notice or hear me
      Will we create a wall, of Berlin...?...

The lovely poetry soup
A mismatch of all sorts of folk

But still nice
Expressing 
Beautiful struggling endeavours
Good and bad

Bad that’s me...

She's too short and he's too tall
When they kiss, their braces mix
Hard to untangle, twisting
Smiling, they giggle.

he craves to live with passion
she wants to douse his fire
       this won't end well

people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

Life that just looks good on the outside- 
                                        may not be so on the inside.

rising from a trembling heart
sadness wells up in the vacant eyes
and the tone of voice
that never lies.

He couldn't stand her temper tirades
   She ranted and raved about bills left unpaid

A tragic couple they were, a perfect mismatch ~
   Their marriage contract containing no escape hatch...

It's desperate
       compare our love
       as  parallels lines!
       The lines meet only
       in the infinite ...
       Infinity expands
       and increases the mismatch
       the goals, the straights ...!...

love bridges vibrational mismatch
without employing use of force
wielding power ethereal
it’s our sole resource

spiritual heart hums
toroidal force compelling
yet it is a bliss mist so gentle
ascension of our soul foretelling...

Stroke silly pokes
Such heavy yokes


Noise by vain choice
Hurls hurting choice


Meet odd mismatch
In vulgar sketch


In broken fest
Drama works best


Not much to say
Where moments slay

why do we opt to trauma bond
with whims of relatives
when their expectations
are both selfish and irrational 
and inconvenient to comply with

we should not
yet we tend to do
signalling bondage 
to an imaginary script
we really do not need to follow...

ripples in an anticipated sequence
in as a mismatch in time
if causing thoughts to go viral
are quietened betwixt bliss beat’s chime

such facilitations that are granted
require our eye to be single
that turbid winds impact not the flame
in heart of Self where pheromones mingle...

vibrational mismatch
attains escape velocity
burning bridges of love

in the womb of existence
yearnings of love yet await
return of the prodigal son

two ships cross in the ocean
mixed emotions arise
on reality of separation 
and possibility of union
as ordained in timeless time...

With my restless eyes,
with my troubled eyes
I wait for the visit of the magic bird
that won't land on my window..
But with an enchanted mind
I describe this mismatch
in possible poetry...
I live thus in peeking beat
capturing impossible images
with poetic look
that God gave me..."...

No poet
it's so much that
doesn't fit
in the verses
no poem
it's so much to be
single
therefore...
Every poem
it's never plural
even in a thousand
corners.
No poem
it's so complete that
does not show
mismatch...
no poet
is so poor that
does not
remains a little,
a bit of inspiration... !...

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the gas


Shadow play and the pantomime was over...

The force of water
causes you not to stand
the wind takes you off your feet
nothing like you planned

No human can hold it back
the elements of force
we are a helpless bunch
forced to leave it to it's course

This does truly humble us
we are not anything like a match
for power leaves us behind
this is such a mismatch

Dawn again,
novel day of the century...
I await your return
for over a millennium...
I squeeze the longing in my chest,
my intimate decomposes
the soul thinks
my heart drowns me...
food getting cold
your reheated steak...
I call your name,
despair resigned...
You don't come, neither
send message...
My insides turned...
I realize you don't feel desires,
and you're not hungry!...

First, an uneasy silence,
         then a definite maybe;
I hope it's just tipping
         the first domino for me;

perhaps I misunderstand,
         so I won't miscalculate;
she might not give her hand,
         but then it might be too late;

feeling ridiculous and silly,
         I fight off this stupid anxiety,
but I'm a mismatch against
        old-fashioned sentimentality!...

Have you ever met the troll 
That lives beneath your bed?
He really is a silly chap,
His name is Mismatch Jed.

His favorite thing to do at night 
Is steal one of your socks.
Then sneak back to his hidey-hole
And stash it in a box.

So when you just can’t find the match
to the sock you want to wear,
You’ll know that Mismatch Jed’s been by 
…just choose a different pair.
