I longed to go to sleep.

But, when I got off stage,
a friend opened her Altoids tin,
offering me some smarties candy.

As I picked one up,
she smiled and said:
"no, no; take two."

"What is it?" I asked
as I chewed the two up.
She winked and ate the last three.

Now I'm grateful I can't sleep even though I really should.
I suppose, though, the real test will be tomorrow.
Funny how that works.

Brave Sigh
        ----the story of Life


******* sighs gush from pure body
Sans heart…
sans colour

seldom  eyes only  do matter
But,
life teaches  the story of tears
down the lane….
they are there!

Pathos texturize life’s stories
Life is smoldered often
But, its my turn for empathy
When life is no less than a war

World is still topsy-turvy in its
Attempts to divulge truth

Loch Ness Monster is no longer scary
Nor does Bermuda
Dark triangles are more operative
Dark tales overpower sensibilities

Life  moves on, as usually as the Sun
Encountering evils
worse than cancer or corruption

God changed his identity long ago
Waiting for someone to condemn Him

Sweet is bitter for quite sometime
Sugar- free quotes overpowered
still
Life moves on
Life without meaning…moves on!!

It’s a brave sigh at the end of the DAY!

Thy bosom

The holder of thine heart which lacks within my breast
resides beating, beating, beating
in your *****.
To love, to, love again,
is there in sighs and heaving,
to no others breath I will listen,
nearing religion, in devoting my soul
to those bounteous fruits of you fully grown
womanhood calling to me.
Thee, that shines upon my eyes, my deafness now hears,
resumes a life of woe un-abating,
now ticks again.
Now upon thy *****, my head rests hearing, reasons
for being again.

Look for my electronic soul
In all the places where you found my electronic heart
By the ethereal light of the interwebs,
Through an electronic connection
Dancing to electric heartbeats
Pulled to your electric guitar
Singing words that color me lovely

Love Jonz

When the heart is in full swoon
Time is a blur and reality is just that moment
That very moment when eyes overflow with a happy heart
When the very scent of each other is a drug
And addiction runs both ways
Swept up in this timeless euphoria
Careless words fall off the tongue
"I love you", is the new high

Abandon all hope
Abandon ship
Even though our stack is full
The winds are fast
And the waters are still

This course is going nowhere
But to pain
Straight into ruin

So we stop chasing the elusive moon
And dedicate to drown ourselves
In the frosty waters
Of her negative.
Slowly coming back
From my sweet slumber
Hurt, more than ever
But gradually
Feeling better
