No one sees beyond the illusion....

Hands tied by own deeds
an ultimatum is issued
with choices squeezed and limited
...

I rather be empty than free. 
This is desperation.
pure
insanity
I feel cold winds against my face.
Finally....

I hate ultimatums and I needed to share that with you
because if you ever give me an ultimatum, We're Finished, We're Through!...

She loved milk straight from the cows teat
It gave her boyfriend Juan a shudder
The ultimatum he voiced was clear
It has to be Juan or the udder!...

Ubiquitous sugars

Ultimately affects

Underlying gene cells

Unevolved mutations 

Urgent in researching 

Ultimatum provokes

Universal acclaim

If you leave I’ll kill myself, his needy girlfriend said.
So he did not go, because he did not want to find her dead.
Run for your life! His great grand-grand-mama’s mama would have said.
He ended up marrying this woman, and had a horrible life instead....

Oh, what a tangled web!
A man finds himself 
caught in a love triangle.

Poor fella
I wouldn't wanna be him!

The two women with whom 
he's madly in love
are giving him
an ultimatum migraine

Which one to choose?
What's his heart to do?
Decisions, decisions...

Run,run and run,
Life is a long run:
Neither you and nor me
Can win it and be free.
Except the ultimatum,
That’s Death!-----which is sure to come.
No winner and no runnersup,
Neither silver nor golden cup.
Newly would it begin,
With the end of falsity----
And this is what I call….
“Life in reality!!”...

Chase me
chase me to the end of the cliff
force me to jump
or fall back into your arms
give me an ultimatum
force me to make a choice
don't let me give up
don't let me give you up
fight for me


months later
you fight for me
you chase me to the edge
and confused, and hurt
I jump...
away from your welcoming arms...

Ultimatum

Unwise or cool chances we take
Life is choices that we make 
Time gets hard and time gets cold 
Innocence is never old 
Maybe it's just hard to see
After all it's you it's me
Teaching how to pick and choose
Influence for those filling shoes
Ultimatum makes you think
Makes you want to float or sink

They have this ultimatum.

I listen, and the their words are buzzing.

Drifting and muttering.

Then jolting, that is like a pinch or slap.

Then I start grinding my teeth again and blinking hard.

With this sudden shift, I will never be weak again!

I made them walk away! 

I made them walk away…

Their ultimatum?

Is not my problem....

Beloved One, I believe you know who you are
I know you ignore me, and I really don't blame you.
But I'm thinking of leaving this site
This time forever

Please understand this is not intended as an ultimatum
I have no quarrel with you, but
If you want me to stay,
Speak up now please, that I should hear it from you.
If you wish me gone you may speak that way too...

My romance with efflorescences in an arboretum,
Is the most picturesque moment in ultimatum.
I can decorate your garden in style,
Provided, you keep the flora in pride.
Elated to dabble with a child,
As long as, both of us get stirred.
I can pose in variety of striking colours,
Competing positively with seasonal flavours.
I am the world's most aesthetic insect,
With my graphics globally perfect....

I am slimy scum
I'm a rotten bum
I rule America
Sucking on my thumb.

I am rather dumb
I make people numb
I'll turn America
Into endless slum. 

If I'm feeling glum
Unhappy I become
I praise the Ku Klux Klan
Then I get giddy some.

Beat my kettledrum
Rat-a-tat-tum-tum
Shriek racist epithets
Ad-infitum.

My ultimatum
Needs uranium
Blowing up the world and grin
Ain't it worrisome. I win!...

U nreasonable demand...." Poetry soup or me!"

L ove is not controlling, that I can guarantee

T roubling is your unpredictable demeanor

I llogical thinking, needed was an intervenor 

M anipulation one of your most deplorable traits

A busive verbally, you barricaded all debates

T houghtless trying to quell my poetry passion

U ncomprehending, you are without compassion

M istreated no more, I finally stood up for me!...

At the wind's behest
 At the sun's command 
 Swarming worms infest 
 Legs and arms and hands

 Flesh from bone undressed 
 Withers in the sand
 Denser forms divest 
 Of filaments and strands

 As rigid limbs relax 
 Bound by sky and land 
 Mouth and throat contract 
 Chest and brain expand 

 Set free by their collapse 
 Fulfilled by new demands 
 Enshrined as they're enclasped 
 By rasping sea and sand

He was the employee
She was the boss

He worked for her
Than it came to a halt

He’d call in sick
And started missing days

He’d come to work late
And his excuses weren’t straight

The boss called him into her office
And gave him an ultimatum

He said he found another job
And what he said was datum

She walked him to the door
And bid him farewell

She told him his final check
Would be sent by mail

This is a relationship
That failed...

Lost and inappropriate,
my lips spoke trivialities,
my hapless heart was inarticulate.
Fearfully I fumbled through 
my hazy days, spoiling opportunities, 
urgently hoping they wouldn't pick me.
A wraith within a wraith, I flittered by 
commitment like a man without a plan; 
I only knew the pleasures of denial, 
'til I was pushed into the present by
a crushing ultimatum, compelling me 
to find my way alone, now I greet 
each morning with a smile!...

Slick with wax
My life is lit by jarred candle.
Cannot see ahead of me
Just looking towards it-
Struggling.
Struggling towards it-
Ready to fall.
It seems inevitable that I may sink
Into an ultimatum brought to me
I may give in.
I wish not to-
But it only seems as though soon it will occur.
A feared future staring me in the eyes-
Grimacing
As if to intimidate me
I whisper helplessly.
But I cannot hold on by myself any longer-
I need back up....

Ultimatum
Was to fire me 
Drastic was the effect
Till then I was not of all the mess
Still needed a blow 
So that I fall out of it
Gathered all the fear 
Thrown them with tear
Waiting for every second of my life 
To be totally fine 
I get, but somewhere I am lost 
In his thoughts of being mine
I never spoke but all words are true
Which stick in my mind holding you
I be here to fix me 
Rather than to risk you
...

Love can be all consuming,
Filling life with joy,
Love is a wonderful thing,
Butterflies in your tummy,
Cant eat cant sleep,
Snuggling in bed ..... then children come along,
Jealousy can then rear its ugly head,
Babies, children need a lot of care,
Some dont see that and want that care,
Some are not old enough in years,
Some are not old enough in their head,
Problems then begin,
Grow up or leave that's the ultimatum,
Are they old enough to decide?...

DESIDERATUM
 
           Egoistic person just to obsess
            only to aim win as ultimatum.
           Neither needs love nor happiness,
           but Victory is desideratum.
 
          Perfect persona shows righteousness.
          Not irrational in delirium.
          Strong and determined with graciousness.
          Ruthless truth is the desideratum.

Drifting, misappropriated,
my lips spoke trivialities,
my hapless heart was inarticulate.

Fearfully I fumbled through 
each day, frittering opportunities, 
fervently hoping they wouldn't pick me.

A wraith within a wraith, I flittered by 
commitment like a man without a plan; 
I only knew the pleasures of avoidance, 

'til I was pushed into the present by
a crushing ultimatum, compelling me 
to find my way alone, now I greet 
each morning with a smile....
