A Turn Of The Screw
There is no historical evidence
Of Archimedes
Second screw
But it has been suggested
Namely by me
That his second lover
Found Archimedes
To be quite smelly
And that her parting words
Were
You reeka!

My Opinion
Americans are more concerned
about what people think
rather than being concerned
about what Americans do
or don’t do…

The Hunt Calls
The moonlight shimmers across the still lake.
My trigger aches to land a fatal blow.
Minimal, precise movements are needed.
Heeded to follow the unbeaten path.
I must silhouette myself to nature,
navigating with trust in my instinct.
As I journey through this plain for hours.
Quiet and collected, gaining awareness.
The thrill rushes through my spine.
Looking for the moment where my skills shine.
Waiting for daylight to break through the dark.
Watching because you have been marked for death.
Trees gently rustle, breaking the silence. ...
My trigger aches to land a fatal blow.

As I journey through this plain for hours.
Quiet and collected, gaining awareness.
The thrill rushes through my spine.
Looking for the moment where my skills shine.
Waiting for daylight to break through the dark.
Watching because you have been marked for death.
Trees gently rustle, breaking the silence. ...

Sisters
Thru years of laughter, and even tears.
Thru all the pain and happy cheers!!
Thru bullshit fights, and cold cold shoulders.
To arguments cuz you acted older.
Sly remarks, and evil eyes.
Yet choked back sobs from each goodbye.
Slamming doors, breaking glass..
Funny jokes and smoking grass.
Talking shit, fights and screams..
To hanging out and sharing dreams.
Thru childhood trauma, we got got thru somehow ..
We stuck together, at least until now,
It shouldn't matter the mood were in..
Tomorrow will come and we can try...
Thru all the pain and happy cheers!!
Thru bullshit fights, and cold cold shoulders.
To arguments cuz you acted older.
Sly remarks, and evil eyes.
Yet choked back sobs from each goodbye.
Slamming doors, breaking glass..
Funny jokes and smoking grass.
Talking shit, fights and screams..
To hanging out and sharing dreams.
Thru childhood trauma, we got got thru somehow ..
We stuck together, at least until now,
It shouldn't matter the mood were in..
Tomorrow will come and we can try...

GRINCH GOES VIRAL
This year is gonna be different
I ain't gon' let 'em destroy me
and try to ruin Christmas
I gotta hit Mariah Carey or
something she got it popping
And that one song be hitting different
All I want for Christmas is you
Maybe I ask Santa for vocals
Then go door to door
singing Christmas carols
To promote the poem to the Orville locals
Something viral
Something's to distract me from
my life on a downward spiral
Maybe Something Christian friendly
In line with teachings of the
modern day Bible ...

SWING
I had no idea how much you could miss someone. I mean from the morning until the dark. How you lost your happy place in the park someone took your swing and you're middle aged and acting out like you are aged five having a full-blown tantrum. Except a broken heart isn't playing games it feels like it is digging your own grave, but you are theoretically alive. Living on the outside but dying on the inside. It's hard to see the old routines when your heart high jacks your mind. You're a hostage and the taker but you can't find the negotiator.

Void.
I nibbled on ashes
Bite on bone
My teeth rot
mind gone
Love feels heavy
And loneliness
fills me with anger.
I never bothered to dream
In a city that left me to wither,
Never bothered to breath
Where oxygen no longer lingered,
Never bothered to search for peace
in a place meant for chaos.
Now, I sit silently in a corner,
Cry softly into a pillow,
And scream at things that will
Never speak back
Afraid to step outside
For all I’ve hid
Will come spilling out
Now on my...

Roar
Eating ravioli from a family-size tin can. Too much
life and reality in one fuckin' day. Root canal and a
sandwich at Subway. Lack of sleep and debauchery's
cliche, choking on an arsonist-filtered cigarette. My
Parakeet suffering from a compulsive disorder. A
pothole swallowed my SUV. Wondering which can
of Chef Boyardee I will eat tomorrow. Too much
reality in one fuckin' day. Whatever happened
to Captain Kangaroo?

Within Silent Chambers, the Clarion Call
a clarion call from the depths of silence
echoing through soul's chambers
a shout from within, a beckoning voice
it seeks to inspire to guide to rejoice
come! lets dive into waters deep
into the ocean of many mysteries
there are sights waiting to be seen
wondrous secrets to be discovered
within dreams and infinite shades
lay you may, but not reside
venture to the unknown unafraid
forget the clock on your bedside.

Redemption
Your words brawling
behaviour appalling
in quarrel you demean
Attacks are brutal
my resilience crucial
declining to be your victim
Believing your actions
simply minor infractions
knowing not the wounds you leave
…
Upon awakening you regret
hurting those you’re meant to protect
no direct appeal for redemption
Professing your sin
to your God within
assuming you will be saved
My dear, you have been deceived
as only the aggrieved
have the authority to forgive
behaviour appalling
in quarrel you demean
Attacks are brutal
my resilience crucial
declining to be your victim
Believing your actions
simply minor infractions
knowing not the wounds you leave
…
Upon awakening you regret
hurting those you’re meant to protect
no direct appeal for redemption
Professing your sin
to your God within
assuming you will be saved
My dear, you have been deceived
as only the aggrieved
have the authority to forgive

Words whispering

कपती है ये ज़मीन टापो की तान से,,
