hoarse, the tide of elbows
jabbing me, mocking impassable
where numbers echoed
about a thing ready to speak
searing full color visuals
from it’s depth of screams

but fell, a maneuvered doom
as trance wove, dainty pink slippers
and that correspondence ended
malignant accusations & destruction
tossed into some february wind
where my habitation stood
like a letter with volume, smacking me hard

groundcovers, with shipping addresses
shoved me into boiled down questions
every day, morning and evening
where night became, my sultry hit man
beating down the powerhouses
of my own watered down acumen
after 8 years passed me in complaint
i kept looking up at the terrace
which needed a fresh coat of paint

my brain didn’t know right from left
with a core somewhat autonomous
like a wine bottle opener, powerfully
tasting some divine form of blush

there, days coupled with moments
exploding monsoon rains, ruptured
blush for our wretchedness
for my weakness
in the manner in which we treat
sensor systems, of spreading friendships
alcoves of termination…
where i found some charm in philosophical
indignation, rendering melancholy bitterness

laying down airs
an orbital boom blaster reimbursed
summing up confident, pleased to push a light
determined, i wondered about
some profound system, unconnected
dissecting implausible effect
now, the gentleness of mind
placed spaces between the days
from an island with contrary ways

i watched the disposal of me…thus
inspired with the means to look
obligated singular manners at work
in some perceived merit

who was it writing off spheres?
forming black conspiracies
the plan had been fixated in my own mind?
concurring with execution and surprise
quite easy, the effect of the whole
man’s nature rose above me, grinning
kicking every feasible ray
i opened the door, and then another
like some crazed sentiment
ripping at the heart….
fatal love was joyfully winning…

ripping off a thousand cruel circumstances
from my eyes
with truth and generosity
there, the blackness of mysteries
stood, presenting themselves with garment
warding off the blows
making a clean leap over every obstacle
like an open jumper in a horse show

sometimes ya gotta hit man with a 2 x 4
to get their attention
i saw it approach, this humble merit
defending me and my weakness
manners expecting me along with a
forsaken other, that i seemed to misplace

it was a fine family reunion~

­ummmm, I sense that this reunion was much other than a fine one...

I am in awe at the way you arrange your words, expressive, but not excessive...You make the English language a proud language, with just the right arrangement of it to let me almost figure you completely out and then...

Wham! I am lost in a sentence,or a line, then I backtrack, and find my way again, think I am on the right path...but am not completely sure all the time...

But I always have a interesting journey, this time was no exception..

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
