Sitting pretty on the window sill
Perfect and pleasing to the eye
Facing the rising sun
On a clear blue cloudless sky

Do you dream of open spaces?
Of stretching your arms free
Spreading like the mighty oak -
Or the lofty banyan tree?

Would you your leaves be swept by winds
Your breath carried by rain
Growing in the wilderness
With flowers wild, untamed?

And if I hold you close to me ...
Would I hear your soul cry?
Sitting pretty on a window sill
The perfect potted bonsai
Repost
~~~<¤>~~~

through
lichen clouds
and lace of leaves
moonlight wanders
wends and weaves

a cowl'd orb
a saintly pearl
a poem rewritten
by the world

a swooning dove
a gentle face
in loving here
there's no disgrace

brings She out
her mystery still
floating effortless
at will

how oft does She
rehearse the game
in many phases
do the same

in Her embrace
sweet dreams are free
unbound by

moonlight mystery

an artist moon
Herby topsy-turvy
rolls down
the grassy knoll

Bowled over
One hundred
4-leaf clover’s

Smack dab
Inertia grabs
With a push
Forward whoosh
knocking
to the
ground

Little Wendy
Wiggly giggly
enamored with her
spiral jiggly Piggly tails

Both children
Feet in the air
Without a want
or a care

Laughter
Fills
The
Air

Gazing into the
Cerulean blue sky

Then they
Studied
each other’s eyes,
neither one cry
Nor asked why
They knew

This is how
they first met

A lifetime of Love
Blessings from
God above

Their tome remained
Traditionally
At home
As they roam

It became their journal
Life’s journey
Obituary
Finally
Their epitaph


No Regret
Mutual Respect
77 years
Well Spent

BLT Webster’s Word of the day challenge
1-5-25 cerulean
describes the blue color resembling the blue of a clear sky
1-6-25 tome
A formal word for a book and especially a very large thick often scholarly book
The view from
between your legs,
with my glistening
face in the soft
lamplight is
more than
sublime.

The trust
is thick,
and
sweet.

Your happy
moans are like a
symphony from
Mozart as I wait
for the
grand finish.
dun dun dun dun dun dun dun
dun dun dun dun dun
Dun Dun

DUN

You pull me inward,
and I smell
Paradise.
Sticky faced
ambrosia.

does a lonely childhood **** a person?
maybe
if not, the way everyone else smells it on you does
there is something wrong with you
you are not whole
“where is your other half”
everyone asks you
and you just keep saying “i dunno, i dunno”
and they tell you to be grateful
because you never were hated as a kid
and maybe you weren’t but you are hated now for it
you do not know how to be a person because of it
and you can never say we were children together
because you were not children with anyone except for yourself
and you will bury your childhood alone
and you will bury your parents alone
and they keep telling you to be so so grateful that you never had to share anything
but this loneliness has you by the throat and
you would rather have someone who hated you than nobody at all
and you can never say we were children together / because you were not children with anyone except for yourself / but this loneliness has you by the throat / and you would rather have someone who hated you than nobody at all
What a wonderful sister, you are
For you, a lot do I care
Not all the time, may we talk
However, when it gets really dark
You are the light I badly need
Your words of advice, are always to be heeded
And interacting with you is so much fun
That it makes me forget all my pain!

What a wonderful sister, you are
With you around, is there nothing to fear
Indeed, do you have a very calming presence
And gifted are you, with oodles of common sense
No wonder, are you such a fine lawyer
A lot of trouble, do you often have to bear
However, every test do you end up clearing with flying colours
For you, are no circumstances too adverse!!

What a wonderful sister, you are
Grinning was I, from ear to ear
When you arrived a few weeks back
Brought me some respite from work
So thoughtful, was your gift
Truly, do you possess a golden heart!!

What a wonderful sister, you are
And will be, now and forever
Keep smiling and take care
And may you be blessed with a glorious future!!
Poem dedicated to my dear sister Shreeja, who works in London and visited us at the beginning of this month.
What would I give,
Just to keep you close,
I hope I stay close,
To your inner world.

Will you remember?
Remember tonight,
Remember yesterday,
Do you recall with fondness?

Do I overestimate your conscious?
Does the voice appreciate,
Tell you to take a moment,
Take snapshots of the split seconds.

Will you remember?
Remember tonight,
Remember yesterday,
Do you recall with fondness?

It's not that deep,
Let's just be kings,
Lose a couple games,
What's the latest in your world?
I love being an older brother.

        May Our Children Live Long Enough to Invade Greenland


Man arrested entering the Capitol with a machete and three knives

                                          -U. K. Daily Mail


No weapons in the Capitol; it’s a rule
The adults who work there must be safely bubbled
But when some pimply oaf brings a gun to school
No one in D.C. seems especially troubled
I don’t know what I should do.
I can’t manage to get beneath
All the layers of artifice
To finally find the genuine me.

Who is this wounded entity
Wearing the face of an actress
Stumbling across a dim-lit stage
Living her life for an audience.

Where can I go to find the answers
To all the questions that nag me
And why are there no real denouements
To all all the theatrical plots I live.

What soap can take off all the makeup
Applied so thickly with loving care;
And when it’s finally washed away
What kind of person will be standing there.
