Elon Musk, 
slipped into Universe 12 to borrow a spare quantum-flux;
returned with three versions of himself in tow,
each insisting they were the one who’d invented tomorrow.

An Ode To Hearts

Nestled
within 
monumental 
versions
of herself,
among 
nights
spent
losing
doctrines,
she forgets
devout 
habits
for love
because 
fire 
speaks 
back 
to
her.

Kaleidoscope

A cluttered mess of random pieces
Multicolored multitudes
The many versions of you
Fitting perfectly together in brilliant patterns with each turn
Becoming more beautiful as the light flows in

Xanadu

absent being 
claiming deliverance 
even fearful gratitude 
has its jaws knitting lies
mimicking, never opening
prying questions, rigid statements 
tallying up versions
Xanadu waits (for you)

A dandy I’m not, although I’m named Beau
Waiting to date you, I’m end of the queue.

A devil or saint
But gladly I’ll be both versions for you.

Premium Member Falls Flat

Nature is filled with such perfect views,
there’s no beach day that has a twin.
Wispy versions of the waves
transform to mavericks  
with a coming storm. 
Feast of whitecaps
plays so hard 
then falls 
flat.

Premium Member Tired

I'm really tired
I've got to go
Hope that I didn't
Steal the show

Sleep was elusive
Most of last night
I won't even fly a kite
I'll dream and dream

Happy thoughts of soup
So many versions
So many flukes
What about you

within  
focus on 
the external
surface

go any further

no need to get to know
the past versions of self 
who truly cares
anyways

Versions

The version you had of me 
Never existed 
Just an illusion 
You created.

The story never ends
I exist in different shades
Hidden behind masks
Or wearing tinted glasses.

Mind games
Spells  to entice 
Cards played right
A hidden fire ignites.

One Way Or Another

one way or another 
everything will just 
end up finding it's 
way back to were 
it all began 
back to the 
point when
alternate 
versions of
the self will
meet up 
once more 
to try and 
improve upon
the past and fail
each and every time
in the end

Autumn - 2 versions

AUTUMN is...
Apples,
Umbrellas,
Trees
Un-leafing,
Moonlit
Nights.

AUTUMN is...
Apples, crisp and sweet;
Umbrellas up in the rain;
Trees turning red, gold, orange;
Untamed leaves that dance;
Marrows and pumpkins ripening;
Nests now empty – some fall...

Poetry Conceived In Poem

Letters are skinned
in the memory
by whose hands
they work with them...
even versions
from the folds of the soul....
tear the physical body
through the portals of feelings
housed in the recondite...
So they practice all the time
to give birth to life poem... !

Mission

I slept in vision,
Wake up with a mission,
Of different versions,
The version to fulfill my vision,
he mission to uphold my vision,
The mission to make it in life,
The vision of excellence,
The versions of success,
…Integrity and landmark,
A footprint in a globe.

Emotional Keep Away

why are we 
playing a game 
of emotional
keep away 
where the new 
versions of the self 
are standing outside
of the cycle trying to
keep emotional attachments 
away from the old versions 
of the self which are standing 
trapped within the cycle of time 
gone by

Summer - 2 versions

SUMMER is...
Swimming,
Unwinding,
Melting
Moments.
Enjoy it.
Relax...

SUMMER is...
Swimming
Under a wide blue sky;
Munching
Many mangoes;
Eating melting ice-cream before it drips on my belly;
Running barefoot on burning sands all the way back to the hot hot car.

The Chameleons

Bravery and fear
  not either or

But versions of…

Valor and shame
  brought heretofore

Mixed pieces of…

A riddle to confound
  the poet’s mum

As glory weds disdain…

Courage and fear
  not zero-sum

But oft times look the same
