noisome nuisances
sojourners on times road
life’s speed bumps

In all my nuisances 
I could feel
The caress of your fingers
Indemnity is such old fashioned love…

So much so
Any such feisty night adventure
Carries the signature
No biting, but sublime copulation…...

Pop out one stands more than another
mini planet on center-tree
rapped bark out
and splayed with knotty nuisances
falling arms raising drops of 
golden brown if lucky
green if true
and if I, alive in breathing
share this experience may....

Quite uneasy feel I
to break,this shell
mesmerizing it is!
The laughter, the
innocence, Oh!
I the child, my world
the nuisances, the
joys,the fancies
makes me, reluctant
to leave it!
My days end with
"I am I grown up?"
My heart leaps
up for it again!...

Voracious beasts I freely call them,
Indigenous or rather covenant leaders,
Observing our steps just to stab us behind,
Leaving us to suffer in peace,
Envying the poor man's meal,
Nuisances we turn before their eyes,
Certainly we made ourselves such
Educated fools!...

Candles Caper

A burning candle delivers euphoric feelings.
Giving harmonious influences jovially.
Kindling loves, merry nuisances, opulently.
Plays, quietly romancing songs transcendently. 
Capturing lovers in her flickering flame.

The nights I sleep are the nights I stopped 
dreaming, so I stayed up and watched him.
His lips fluttering to get rid of nuisances 
from his lungs. I prayed for him and prayed
he'll appreciate me telling him to rinse mouth 
after Crab Fest. He stirred, reached for me,
he cracked a nut, went back to sleep,
and I remember saying, "God help our son."...

Death was dreaded. 
Rehearsed. 
Experienced. 
Dreaded more. 

Being told, 
Silence. 
Empty. 
Frozen. 

Death. 
The day arrived. 
Surreal. 
Nothing. 

The bond was broken, 
The memories ended, 
There was grey nothing. 
Silence. 

Silence. 

For me: 
Shock, 
Nuisances, 
Sadness. 

For her: 
Beauty, 
Peace, 
Rest. 

Two sides of death.

They look down from their penthouse and turn up their nose.

They see us all as a murder of crows. Bunch of pests and foul nuisances trying to eat of their crops.

Not sons and daughters and mommas and pops.

They don't want to hear of our lower class rambling.

Why shan't we continue our financial gambling?

Their scarecrow is the media which deems us all decadent.

We shall not yield the cornfield, For we are the 99 percent!...

Age
A message
Comes to us-
As we receive  
We must read it
Properly and progressively

Let us be heedful 
To its nuances
Let us get rid 
Of expected nuisances 

As days pass on
We grow on
As we get old
Many will unfold

We must find 
The thing to be found

As we dwell
We must get well

Our present 
Must be met 
Our past 
Should not be 
Our future

Age 
A message
It should convert
Into a literature...

Mama Mable made music mellow with mood
But baby boy Bradley bellowed and booed
So sensitively she started singing sweetly
Yet the youngster yowled yearningly

Poor perplexed papa peered and pleaded
“No nocturnal nuisances are needed,”
He hurried through the house, his hefty frame hobbled
Baby boy Bradley basked blissfully with his bedtime bottle

The world revolves around me.
They listen when I'm silent
and they're quiet when I shout.
From a seed to a sprout.

I hate the crowd, the noises.
A bunch of thick-headed nuisances.
I'm better, but they don't believe.
The sprout forms the leaves.

I love to please the people.
Their praises feed my ego
but I don't sleep well at night.
A flower blooms bright.

The world and I co-exist,
we'll fight then make it up.
Mindfulness is an attribute.
The flower bears fruit....
