“Let down the bars, O Death!
The tired flocks come in
Whose bleating ceases to repeat,
Whose wandering is done.
Thine is the stillest night,
Thine the securest fold;”
“Too near thou art for seeking thee,
Too tender to be told.”

THIN AND THINE
Rama is thin
But in "Ramayan" of
Hindu is not so fat
just like thin.
Wood polish thinner
is not thin.
It is made to
fill up the soft and
tiny holes.
he size of holes
really very thin.
Earth is very thin
but the universe is not
so thin.
The cycle is thine.
The mind is thine.
The mind's running
cycle is thine.
The TV is tine.
The wife is thine.

never could this baby boomer papa –

housed within this scribe
required reassignment of tasks
until salient event forced him to vet
any less important issues
to an unspecified future
date and/or time, which role
i.e. forsook luxury sans,
affordable focus on me,
and immediately didst force crash course
to keep figurative whet
stone sharp every waking
and sleeping moment of me life, yet....
though a crash course imposed role
viz immediate adjustment of mister mom
(which obviously necessitated significant sacrifice
upon the head of this major Tom)
never before until that juncture
such selfless experience ever met,
but in retrospect salutary outcome
found thoughts linkedin whereby
time never divided, partitioned,
or sectored off to another livingsocial being
I never took care of an infant,

where stork sent

To turn fifty shades of pink and red was too mainstream, so the skies turned blue with a single glance from you. Breathing a heavy sigh, she prayed for it all to be thine.

In the midst of my wakening,
what is this quintessence of ash
that haunts my soul?
What is sanity,
which quivers not need before your eyes,
whether you do not exist in reality,
only fiction in my assonance.
What wonder is the reasoning of man,
how simple in splendour. The clarity
of wakefulness which I perceive to be
sanity is only the same clarity with
which I dream or breathe, only the same
clarity which madmen believe to be reality.
If deception and error are my clarity
then nothing is my reality, for all lie
to protect themselves from the nightmare of old,
His power not enough to protect your mind
from the evil inside of your bones, the fire inside
of your soul. Which likens to the hellfire I find
in the dampening nights of relentless cries;
the corruption of your mind is clarity - a
clarity in your twisted reality.

The MOON is distant from the sea,
On this midnight dreary,
Where we are thine and thee -
Until we are weary.
He never misses my eye,
When we meet our hands -
Crystalline as the sky,
Along appointed Sands.
Oh, Love, thine hand;
Is mine own distant sea -
Under the Moon's land,
Thine and thee.

You just have to realize
He said to me
People have there ups
their downs, their in-betweens
their plays, their acts
their big dramatic scenes
They play their own parts
Then they are on their way
Sometimes they come back
Sometimes they stay away
Finally to play their part to someone else
In another place on another day
So give your lines
Say them well
And if the world likes them not
Let it go it go to hell!

Oh my god is she beautiful
As serene and true as death
A wonder in the eyes of many
Wishing to be fresh as her breath
I want to walk with her,
Hold her hands entangled with mine
And whisper silently in her ear
"I love you, I am thine"
Could you ever believe that,
It would come this?
A beautiful soul,
Would give you eternal bliss;
I am buried in her eyes.
Enchanted in her charm.
Bewitched by that smile,
That strikes my heart and causes such harm,
That the most wholesome flowers could not heal.
A slit that would give me pain so sweet,
That even my senses could no believe,
And take me on a ride and sweep me of my feet.
She turns towards me and smiles,
Ever more tattling, ever more playing with her hair,
That rest above a face so sweet,
Like a grapevine of golden mare.
And in my mind does one thing exist,
To hold her and make her mine.
Such elixir of mirth and jolly,
Mixed with such beauty divine.
