Lush green verdant hills of peace
beneath lavender skies of
linen and oleander gentle pink
inside my seaside windy garden nook
a gift for Pythia, high priestess of Greece
Flower of Olympian Gods
growing here both wild and free
symbol of hope you were Apollo's choice
as he weaved you in a crown for Daphne
she turned into a laurel tree with roots
Infant stem of glaucous bloom
flower of enlightenment
and hope, come fill my haven with sweet bless
enwrap me with your oleander charms
avail me to your heady toxicant
Oh bud of hallucinate
matter, how fatal you are
evergreen shrub of median highways
stay with me until the mid autumn comes
tough and vigorous as you are dear shoot
you are a potent flower,
deserving respect and truth.

With Your Feelings
Dr Ranjit Dutta
It is the moment
To confront with time,
It is the moment of
A silent prepation
To find me in myself.
The memories are amusing
Let them amuse.
Suffrrings struck my heart
Let it be continued.
The drops of toxicant vermon
Drip down from the Cosmos,
The door is closed
I 'll not open it.
If the intoxication of life
Is suffocated
Why should I become siege in vain?
Let me live far away in solitude
Embracing the warmth of your love.

Deciphered deceptions that the summer brings,
As the cathedrals crumble for the corona Kings…
Units ubiquitous unleashed with sweeping strings,
Infectious isolation internal as the contagious clings…
The wounded wander amongst the Hellion hordes,
Where the good battle evil with spiritual swords…
Incurable innocence isolated within their wards,
Inoculable irritations brought by the overlords…
Pestiferous pestilence penetrates through the veil,
Miasmatic megalomaniacs marauding their fail…
Incoherent illusions of their toxicant slaving scale,
For the mephitic wars will end and Love shall prevail.
...stay safe while spreading prayers, peace & love, not the Virus...

Monomaniacal Mist
I am the finite of the infinite for the shadows bleed my presence
My habitual hunger is imminent and toxicant time is of the essence
Like the serpent swallowing sorrows slithering to sanitize your soul
In view of marauding morrows whispering winds wavering console
As a malodorous mist, I appear a demi-god of recyclable tangled time
A fallen angel fostering fear bringing forth a new pernicious paradigm
I come within denigrative dreams a diabolical debacle demanding end
A Svengali of silent screams an oblivious organism that will transcend
A jaded jackal conjured by the broken hearts withering to their demise
The grotesque genie that departs only to enslave before it’s downsize
I am the confiscating conqueror of night banishing your barren breath
Like a fallacious futile frostbite a feculent frozen fire ... for I am death.

The Life of Death

Love is in this way
It’s pain and pain and pain
Nothing is in blessing in disguise
It's me who have been crucified in your heart
And you my Jesus de Christ come as a second coming
Make my world heaven
Make my repressed feelings alive again
You Galileo prove a bombastic turn again
You Adam let me rob your apple again
You Romeo my beloved one listen to me again
This is your toxicant lips which I kissed for the last time to die for you again
Love begins in this way again.

Once again
“Man”
Fails
A faulty miscarriage of stanzas and exhaled anomalies,
“Man” withers
Unto a Shakespearean passing
“Man” testifies
Verbal precedence above cedar scented opinions
While providing expired empathy to their disfigured reflection
Oh, how their insolent pride glimmers
Similar to Cubic Zirconium weddings
Oh, how their “manhood”
Falsely supplicates
For even “thicker” pride
Another daftly implored lie
“Man” inhales pompous remorse,
Gripping rusted axe on toxicant bosom,
Declaring knighthood upon ignorant crowd
Another verse of celebrated memories,
Sabotaged
Because
“Man”
Remains glued to authoritative eras of yesterday,
With forcefully dimpled “smile”
Unable
To surgically remove equilibrium's paralysis
…
But, humanity shall resurrect
Against demoted seer
To declare that this tide of “man”
Does not
Belong here

So many tears I've shed for you
And yet you never cared
So why?
Why do I still want you?
All you did was treat me like a fad
In your world of lies
So why?
Why do I find myself sitting by the phone?
It seems I'm waiting for you to call
Wanting your toxicant all for me
So why?
Why do I want you to hurt me?
Somehow you're like a drug
I'm so addicted
I can't stop wanting to hear your voice
So why?
Why do I pretend?

dont remember where i started
what i was trying to say to myself
something to learn, that i had learned
so could push on
spiral out
taking the time to look back
on my own tragic kingdom of thoughts
how do i fix this previous metaphor
add to the poem
a theme of advice for myself
a note left behind for me to find to myself
rethink it
rework it
a list of the best advice i would give myself
familiar patterns sewn
the weeds grow so i can see where im stuck
it might take time for perfection
but one by one i should rethink them
think of it once more
and leave the unthunk a place to uncover
rethinking what i was thinking
the emotional support to walk without my crutches
to choke down the irony of life's bittersweet insanity
learn to walk on my own again without liquid courage
or a toxicant making me hallucinate
hindsight 2020 getting the best of me
the hunter a sitting duck

When I were a child,
Opened my eyes first time,
I saw a smiling face,
That was hiding sprinkles.
I felt soft and warm hands,
They cuddled me into the Air,
I were shocked when my vision,
Sparkled through the light,
I saw hide shadows,
They moved,
When two eyes jumped over me.
I enjoyed toxicant smell,
That was travelling through my nerves,
And bounced with my heart beat,
When someone touched my cheeks with cold hands.
My body thrived,
I saw anger in someone’s eyes.
I were frightened,
And screamed,
My piss marked soft white quilt.
