A ONE-WAY TICKET

I saw a one way ticket
A trolley full of lauggage
Checking in an apartment, not a hotel
This visitor is here to stay

I saw a sale agreement 
Not a stay receipt
I saw a full smile
Not a half-wit grin

Embraced with both hands
A bed in well made
I see no plan for departure 
This visitor looks quite settled

AI is here

Premium MemberFirst Class Ticket

I hear the train in the distance
I still have some time 
though it is getting shorter
Bought my ticket cost me a lot
The train whistle calls my name
It hasn't arrived when the conductor will 
call all aboard and my ticket will be punched
I paid first class
I need to get some errands done
Good byes forgiveness and tears

Virat Kohli

Virat..never ersatz..fat cat with the bat

Look at record book stats in every format

Kerching bling King of tats

Vicious & pernicious in the ring

Kohli kidology methodology thing


Tit for tat..spit for spat

Bit of chit chat

Never ending..mind bending

No caveat..rat a tat tat

Doff your hat & all that

Could only be Virat


Parting platitude ”walking away with a heart full of gratitude”

Ah — ahh — aaah — aaahh...

Aaah — aaah — ahh — ahhh...

Let the final countdown begin
Proxy war in Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia vs. Iran 
India vs Pakistan
Sunni vs Shia
The 38th divide of Korea 
China taking over the sea

Premium MemberMother’s One-Way Ticket

Our sweet mother went to heaven one Spring day.
Four years ago, the flowers folded their wings.
Hymns, ethereal in the fog; smile at bay.
Left at table, in closet, on shelves - her things.
Most dearly departed, her ticket one-way.
And my father cheers her urn each day.
She’s in our hearts, our thoughts are off and flying.
This family is

ONE WAY TICKET

ONE WAY TICKET

Am I really swimming in grief
And no prospect of any relief
And this situation belies belief
It wasn’t so bad in recent days
But how such shifts can amaze
Tell me if it’s sunlight up there

But then, I always had assumed
Any such attempt was doomed
As buried riches rarely exhumed
Was I just following some craze
With a whole shipwreck

Premium MemberTicket Man is Obsolete

Time to open up your world
let them jump right into the mix 
taste the vast mind pool of your existence
no need for a ticket tearing man
worthy journeys commence for free.

Though impossible-have no prejudice
everyone's invited into your destiny
some will yearn to stay
some will beg to leave
show them nothing 
or show them everything
take some chances to be

       ~

excuses were for gods and gamblers
(lesser giants with fairer feuds)
HE ... was of a wholly-invested mettle and mind
the conscript of a checkered court
dauntless defender of glass and lattice

Have you ever wondered about all the things that require your signature in life
How about a marriage certificate, I now pronounce you man and wife
A steady hand is needed  as you buy your first home
If a writer's cramp occurs with so many places to sign, you are not alone
The car of your dreams you

Your Ticket To An Endless Stream of Consciousness

Are you out of your goddamn mind?
What even is a TOS at this point anyway?
Copper meets gray matter in a stellar show!
Self-inflicted; this is what your ticket paid for!

Here's your endless stream of consciousness
Concisely squished into 2500 characters
What a limitation!
The English-only aspect feels racist.

Summer heat, the concept of the endless
Have you gotten sick of tropes

Connie's The Women Without A Ticket 

I sit at a bar, starring at other couples
I admit I had a few
No, not relationships 
But a few beers to ease the pain
Today's not any different
I keep starring at the couple across the bar
There's chemistry
A subject that's foreign to me
He keeps kissing her neck
And her eyes sparkle wide,

Ticket To Mars

I filled an ashtray with anguish
but your eyes didn't see me
your way of saying I don't care
the hallway to the elevator is infinite
is where I lose you in every step
It's a crushed glass flavored goodbye
and now this is the typical unfriendly street
that doesn't give you back your balance
upstairs, fourteenth floor
maybe she will breathe a sigh
