"advisor" poems
I can't promise you That dark clouds Will never hover Over our lives Or that the future Will bring us many rainbows . I can't promise you that Tomorrow will be perfect Or that our lives will be easy. I can promise you my everlasting Devotion, my loyalty, my respect, And my unconditional love for a lifetime . I can promise you that I'll always be here for you, To listen and to hold your hand, And I'll do my best to make you happy, And make you feel loved. I can promise you that I can see you through a crisis And pray with you,   Dream with you,    Build with you, And always cheer you on And encourage you. I can promise you that I'll willingly be your protector, Your advisor, your counselor, Your friend, your family, Your everything. I promise you

Jealousy An awful advisor That leaves you by yourself Heartbroken and grieving For what was not For what was lost For what it really was…

Jealousy
From being our guide as A father, To being our support as A brother. From being our best advisor as A friend, To being our strength as A partner. Men play an important role, In every women's life. We are incomplete without them, They give us strength in every phase of life. You guys makes us complete, Your existence is a blessing to us. Having a men in life who stands by your side, Is just a precious gift to every women. I don't agree with the saying that "All Men's are same". Because I believe. "All men's are different in their own way". Happy International Men's Day ©Sanjana Tripathi @wordz_dreamer

Happy International Men's Day
In childhood, your father’s name is DAD Now grown, maybe with children of your own But his name is still DAD DAD, the teacher, the consoler, the advisor Admonishes: “Drive safe” and “Save your Money” Today he’s the bard “This is like prison,” DAD laments while rolling his eyes Tubes like thin plastic chains tether his deflated body to blinking panels; paintings (factory printed ones) pretend the hospital room is more than just a sterile space Today, DAD’s eyes cast a faraway gaze, projecting And I see the characters in his story I see the 10 year old boy he describes, who snuck to stash a set Of English Composition Texts in the boy’s bathroom To escape Mrs. McElroy’s Fourth Grade course in Morose Poetry I see the thin, sandy blond, 6 foot 2 high school rabblerouser Who broke into the Vice Principal’s old Fiat And buried Stilton cheese in the dashboard All done on a sweltering May school day The anecdote is punctuated with a smirk and a: “Who would do a thing like that?” Stories of when he spotted a shy brunette at the dance and knew Knew he was to marry her; Stories of when his own DAD grasped his infant grandson’s dimpled hand Before giving in to complications of a heart attack The bard stops and exhales a sigh He cringes in his crinkled skin Sunken eyes squeeze close “I’m sorry” the nausea interrupts his tale “These drugs are…” “It’s okay. Take your time” I console, trying to comfort the pain in the room Now I’m the consoler, taking on the job to ameliorate Now this man, vulnerable in his suffering, is no longer DAD Now mortal, a child, a brother, a lover, a patient A man chained by the body’s sickness He is distilled by chemo reduced to a soul, who, through affliction, Forgets As his children remember He is as helpless in this life as we are.

Edna's alter ego ORLOK advises you not to trifle with him in his 8th poem Who would dare to mock the great Count Orlok, Mighty vampire bat and ace sodomiser? No one at all, I tell you, my old **** - Against that I'd be a strong advisor. But if anyone e'er dared to steal my poems I'd surely rip their ******* throat apart; They'd be opening a veritable can of worms - And who cares if it were a guy or a **** So beware of stealing aught from this wicket bat Who flutters above your house by night; I'll surely find out just where you're at And then may Satan pity you in your plight. Anyone who steals my poems is condemned to Hell And their death pains will be truly grotty; Since, in spite of the really awful smell, I'll stuff eight inches up their dying botty.

Who would Dare Plagiarise the Mighty ORLOK?
She's a beautiful being much like a flower, from which I could learn, examining for hours. I admire her smell and how she speaks of me, the knowledge she carries makes one feel less lonely. From her crown to her toes she is lovely and free, a companion that was placed here for irrational me. She speaks like the wind knowing I am delicate, drops petal-like compliments that I consider reverant. She seems like a sea in which I could drown, a pure contribution on this heavenless mound. I know her as I know myself; or any book from any shelf. Open it up and read just a sliver, ask your questions- she'll surely deliver. She knows when to play and when to relax, she understands my being- reads through the cracks. She understands the importance of an honest, open heart. She shares my love of music and creates striking art. At times she makes me feel as though I am the advisor, but I have read a few pages from her and feel wiser. I've never quite finished any book that I've read, so I'll put the books down and read into her instead. ~kd

The Persian Chessboard
The Great Debate started, Parliament was the open forest, electors were divided into two groups— Sir Fox's, and The Lion's, The first group wanted to overthrow the Lion from the sovereign head of the forest, It was a tough job to confront Lion directly, So, Sir Fox, appointed a Monkey as the Chief campaigner, and that monkey appointed other monkeys in the business, Scaring them with a story of vanishing trees, and living on the land increases the mortality rate if Lion Party continues. Monkey, the chief campaigner exclaimed, “We are not living in the rule of law but in the rule of Lion, All are equal, but the continuous target of a particular community, Like a beautiful deer, by another community in majority should be banned, Deers bring historic and aesthetic significance to the forest And need to be treated as the same,” Deers bellowed gleefully hearing this. Cows felt hurt, their exclusion from Monkey’s speech proved to be a setback to the Fox’s Party, Cows were the most targeted community by the Carnivores, everyone in the forest knew, Potential voters were lost to Lion’s Party. Polarising speeches of Chief continued, It brought Rhinoceros to its side, Seeing rhino in political rallies, Hippopotamus chipped in, To counter the increasing weight Political advisor of Lion, i.e, Tiger, persuaded Elephant to become an official member of their party. Hate speeches increased in numbers Giraffe, the bearer and upholder of law, Overlooked everything, the long neck looked tilted towards an ideology. Rumours became truth, truth became rumour Monkey was good in it, And an army of monkeys were excellent. Parrots, Pigeons, Peacock, **** Cuckoo, Cat, Loved the importance they got, Disseminated the Fox loving songs. The listeners felt threatened, They had an enemy living between them and they were considering them friends, They thanked the Parrot, Pigeon, Peacock for pointing them out. Now, biped hated quadruped, Quadruped hated reptiles, Reptiles did the same to amphibians, And in this way the whole animal kingdom danced in chaos, The fiery speeches of Sir Fox helped in creating illusion, The slogan of the Man as a common enemy was changed to, Feline as a common enemy, Felines joined Sir Fox’s Party, And Canines ran to Lion’s Party, Obvious was difficult to observe Obscure was easy to see. to be continued

i once heard a story about a man who healed people for a living. he'd make them laugh & mend their hollow, broken souls. he'd assist them with their problems until they started to feel whole. but in his mending of other people, he'd break inside every day, as he used the substance his soul was comprised of to glue the broken souls together. until one day, he had none. he had become so broken & empty that he felt he couldn't go on. he went to a spiritual advisor & told him about his depression. the spiritual advisor said, "there is a man named The Healer down the road that can make you laugh & heal your soul so that you may feel whole. go to him." the man started crying & said, "but... i am The Healer." he spent his whole life healing. ... but who heals the healer? who nurses the nurse? who listens to the one who's always listening? we that take care of others must face a horrible reality — that no one can take care of us.

... but who heals the healer?
Mouse’s are a famous breed, From lines of kings they come. They have a mousey song, and a mousey creed; They love mousey cheese, and mousey *** Mouse’s love spirits, wine, beer, and ale; They love to chew on cheesy things. And when they’re drunk, they will regale, Spouting stories of mousy kings. In mousey castle, in mousey town, Lived a mighty mousey king. And his mousy eyes, looked up and down, On every big, and little thing. But his mighty mousy features, Were struck by mousy mope. For all his fellow creatures, Were bereft of *** and hope. “No *** No rum!” They cried, To the king as he passed by. They wept, and sobbed, and sighed; “Oh my, oh my, oh my”. In the kingdom of the mouse, There can be no greater woe, Than to find no *** in house; It lays the mouse’s low. “No *** can be got”! Stated the advisor to the king. “We’ve all got up, and drunk the lot; 'Tis a sad and sorry thing”. All the mousy heads, Hung low in grim defeat. They played with mousy threads, With mousy hands, and mousy feet. But the king of mouse’s rose Standing tall upon his mitts. Wriggled in his mousy hose, And strained his mousy wits. “Who can build new *** Asked the mighty mousey king. But all the mouse’s were dumb, On this mighty mousey thing. Then from out the bleachers; Stumbled little Georgey mouse. A smirk bestruck his features, He was happy; he was ****** With mousy hands he gript A bottle tall and fine And from its neck he sipped; A liquor; so divine. “I shound it through zzat wall”, Announced little Georgey mouse “Theresh enough for one and all; Enough to build a housh”. He sipped the liquor fair, And shouted, “What a corker”! He flashed the bottle in the air; Black label Johnny Walker. And all the mousey squeaks, Wrung cheer from misery. And the cheers went on for weeks; “Whiskey! Whiskey! Whiskey!

Fame and fortune Wall Street in wealthy being the name Mansions, clothes and vacation hot spots Living large and remaining at the top Life was sweet and filled with promise Stocks were up 100 percent Financial Advisors keep careful analysis in where investments go The accountants keep track of the business transactions flow It’s where all investments went But continuing living the life seemingly like Heaven sent But something went terribly wrong The Rich man’s health made a negative turn The investments were seeing anymore earn The Financial advisor began to steal This thieve was for real Suddenly stocks stumbled on down From riches to rags heading for devastation bound The Rich man was shocked and couldn’t make a sound All he could was cry He no longer wanted to continue to try Efforts no longer existed The Rich man was down to being a poor man Trapped in an uncertain caravan A Rich man being in a poor man’s sleuth But what was the former Rich man supposed to do? Keep living but having a purpose and a vision to pursue.

A RICH MAN’S CRY
Our house is full of ships. A painting on each wall. Some schooners, racing single sails, 18th century warships, some American, some French, most British and captained by Nelson. There are fishing boats, less although, they're lining the staircase leading down towards the basement. The bathrooms house small single frames, big enough to fit in your palm. Maybe 25 portraits or so. All of them going fast, the water rushing beneath the bow, cutting through black-blue waters. These were painted, hand-drawn and hung by my father. Now a financial advisor. And cold. But underneath, I know, still loving. I haven't seen his brushes, his paints. But he drew these boats years ago. And I can't stop thinking, every-time I **** wash hands or **** about the artist he was and why paint these ships.

Ok, there’s no jailbreak. Make room for my innocent alter ego, because there’s nothing to rebel against. There are zero classes in my nascent, year-long, Harvard master’s degree. They call it ‘self directed study’ and like rockets have stages, I’ll have ‘self paced modules.’ Am I suddenly at Oxford University? They’re quite famous for that (no formal classes). Or am I suddenly grown up and trusted? I obviously don’t have it all figured out yet, so I’ll just trust the process. When I started that other school (that shall not be named), my advisor handed me a computer printout - a list with something like 40 courses on it. I thought, “Oh, my God,” but one by one, year over year, I checked-off those courses and voila! They handed me a diploma. It was a process. I understand, if you’re disappointed about the jailbreak, but there’ll be coffee breaks, lunch breaks, study breaks, bathroom breaks and more than a few self-directed dance breaks. So stick around. “You know,” my therapist said, so very seriously, a few years ago, “you keep laughing.” . .

“Mrs. Tubb, prepare my raincoat,” he said, “I’m going under the carpet.” His ears were steaming. “I’ll be waiting by the hanged stag,” he said. “If it gets to six and I'm still not home, put tobacco in the telephone.” Down there, at the foot of the stairs, Mrs Tubb’s tears fell to the flattened backwards. In the middle of the night, whilst she was sleeping, And without her permission, He had changed her name to Margot St. Vincent. “Take off that murderer’s moustache and stretch out on the infamous Chelsea Blackmail Floor. Ask the biggest bugs to dance, You may never get another chance.” The quietly handsome and magnificent Millicent Milligan was feeling rather ill again. She had been dreaming of the brittle marigolds of Saint Petersburg. She had been dreaming of pine cones and boiling marmalade. Her home had fallen into a hole. It was on the evening news, But by the following morning they had lost interest, A mountain had struck a commercial airliner and so no one was much impressed by her Home in Hole Hell. 355 were dead, And possibly a well known racehorse, And a corpse in transit who, of course, was already dead, but still, it was vexing for the family. They found a priest in a poplar tree, And the head of a hand model at the back of a cave. (The hands were still intact and were couriered to their agent in a special flask). Half in, half out of her delicious stockings Wendice Titian cuts out scissor clippings of her Sinister yellow sister. Overnight the years twist. Edgar Snooker has heard he is to play Hitler's dog on the silver screen. Edgar Snooker is not a dog. And the screen was never silver. And besides, it is not true. Someone is out to destabilise him. As posh, brainwashed sausages consult The Punchline Advisor of Dunkirk, As the Lord is seen on all fours on His moon Causing daily electrical police misfortune, As the masses embark on the clamorous, scattered and impossible journey to disappointed purity, As her money is without temperament, As the self-conscious guilt daughter unbuttons her plush helmet, So the richly magnetised stars are winding down. As candles whisper in the middle of the road, As Margot St. Vincent revolves the nickel tap Of the gas powered knitting plate, So Father Flynn is inconsolable. He found a photograph of ****** Bob on top of his wife’s hat. She denied everything, Including that she was there at all. Father Flynn fell for it. That's faith for you.

If there's one thing I regret in this life It's that I wasted my finely honed gift of telepathy On Internet dice games Free apps, obviously designed To stave off pure boredom And **** precious time Free games, without even a small pay-off Free games, worth every penny Free games, not so much the skill of telepathy Dice games, the luck of the roll Dice games, immune to strategy of any kind Dice games, not so much the skill of telepathy It's times like these I rue the day I came to the realization The wells of telepathy had run dry The deep ocean of telepathy sopped up With the proud assurance that I knew exactly When my opponent would roll or bank I could have been a diplomat, read some leaders' minds Or a well respected advisor, or even a CIA spy I could have made a killing, a fortune teller's wage A gift that kept on giving because people want to know From where they once were coming and where they soon will go Or something half as simple as a failsafe "yes" or "no" I could have done a lot of things But only one thing that I would Kick some *** playing Farkle And yea though I feel some regret And yea though this decision seems drastic Come, all ye faithful, watch me kick your ***** at Farkle

a wasted gift
I've spent what feels like a lifetime trying to ease my way into an English world. The world of Chaucer and Eliot and vocabulary only Merriam-Webster knew. I declared a major. I don’t know if it really matters anymore, because when it’s dark and the campus is empty all I can feel are the forgotten words floating overhead like stars, whispering for me to go home, rectify the official white papers. Become something else; become anything but this. Become who? Someone who can’t feel anything but the weight of the leaves as they crunch under the lilt of their laugh? Or the one who cries outside their advisor’s office, because they read something so beautiful yet still so small, an unshared treasure? Why write? Why speak? I don’t know the answers to either. Because when you are writing, you are speaking, and one is almost as good as the other. But when the words get caught in the back of your throat and your feet are blocks of concrete, unable to move or think or feel — Is writing any better? Will writing save the invisible, or the insignificant or the unheard? The ones who disappear? I've spent what feels like a lifetime, trying to force my face into the light and take a major that isn’t really mine, dashing off poorly executed poems and flash fiction, grasping for something that might work. But in the end it’s nothing and I am still just as lost.

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. You, lazy little 'twerdnerd. Easy. Live. Take my truth, let this mind be in you, it does the hard part for you. Ai ai ai this guy, I tol' you, extol the road, ride on, cowboy. Let go. Re laxation, enemystic, plop. Plot to end with a thousand swings gnosis-not-burger 'n' fries swung wide and low. Sweet cherry '63. Once belonged to the gayest geometry teacher ever, eh, in Kingman, Arizona. Mr. Zubek, annual faculty advisor to Optimist Club, Annual (also)Highschool Boys Speech Contest, bi- annually, he traded in his Chevrolet. -- voice of experience, That triggered this then, not now I saw a ****** lowrider, brand new, showroom floor, yep, a certain mind set, kept with odd links, missed opportunities to go the other way, kicks the BTDT system of old ahas, and ahs, as once imagined… not possible, pre dementia. Wait for it, should you live so long, it all runs together beautifully, to match the beauty of the messenger's feet, in your cultural awareness of total unknowing- to eternity, and beyond. The Bill and Ted Trilogy, vs Left Behind. So, crates of lemons have no thorns. See, Lemon trees have big ol' thorns, but lemon wreaths, all on a bough snipped, thorns and all, to show those who never picked a lemon, and won life's sweetest point. Such wreaths are December treasures, if you know where they grow 'em. You can sell them, or give them away, the beauty in the whole fruiting sprig goes along.

Friends, you may recall the famous song by ‘Bonny M’ during late1970s, about the infamous RASPUTIN, advisor of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas-II, and lover of the Russian Queen, who was assassinated on 30th December, 1916: ‘’Ra, Ra Rasputin/Lover of the Russian Queen… Russia’s greatest love machine/ It was a shame how he carried on!..’’ Now once again he is reborn as VLADIMIR PUTIN, driving the World to the brink of a Third World War, and is likely to meet a similar fate, unless his cancer overtakes! This is a parody of that lyric I recently composed. – Raj Nandy, 07 May, 2022, New Delhi. +RUSSIAN RASPUTIN REBORN AS VLADIMIR PUTIN+ Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin, with all his land-grabbing war machines, With ravenous hunger to swallow neighboring Countries, It is really shameful how he carries on! Oblivious to human suffering and pain, He has brought the World on the brink of another World War once again! Putin became the Russian President since 2012 as we get to see, Became a virtual dictator of his country! Divorced in Two Thousand and Fourteen, Lives as a frustrated bachelor in Russia ever since. People look at him with terror and dismay as he is full of aggression and fire! But to his henchmen and young Russian maids he is such a lovely dear! Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin with his nuclear bombs and war machines, It is utterly shameful how he carries on! He changed his personal guards many a time afraid of assassination! Sacrificed his senior generals and countless soldiers in his ceaseless war of aggression, To glorify his personal ambition! Now to save Ukraine and the World, May the Devil soon come to claim its very own. {See photo) Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin, with his many war machines, It is utterly shameful how he carries on! Oh! Those Ruthless Russians! …………………………………………………………………………..
