As mother nature's Punitive measure Against a society In maintaining The statuesque That doesn't bother, Our rivers Had become subject To a water thirst, To the extent Of projecting Rocky ribs Terrifyingly protruded out For easy count!

Our forests once stripped of Their wooded cover Have started, fast, to recover From afar they are seen Robed eye-catching green From a fry-pan sky Allowing a shelter Also busy Carbon to sequester. Wild animals That migrated Have preferred Back their way to find. Now farmers don't have Deep to dig To sink a water well Or find a nearby spring. Birds are heard chirruping Be it winter, summer or spring, While Brooks bubbling. Buzzing and hovering From this to that flower Bees are producing Organic honey by the hour.

One sleepless night I heard the lark Chir-chirruping inside my heart; Got up to find her in the dark To capture her and set apart Her stringless resonating harp On which she played a note so sharp; My very soul said: "Hark, oh, hark! What is this iridescent spark That set my every thought aflame? For in its sound I heard my name! That made my ear and eye so changed That all the world illuminates? It will not let me sleep again Until my every breath is spent!" I looked and looked and looked in vain But carried with me the refrain So every time I turned around The sound was coming from without; At lenght I closed my tired lids And heard the lark sing from within; And this is how I figured out: I'm not the kindling. I'm the spark!

One sleepless night I heard the lark...
I heard my mother's song, Sounds of breakfast,the kitchen radio, Smell of bacon on the rattling stove, Heard the slapping wood and wire screen door. Window open to the sounds of birds: Liquid flute-songs of meadowlarks, Chirruping robins on the lawn, Raucous coughing calls of crows, The rooster bragging out his strutting call. Breezes lifted the wet scent of sod, The ever present smells of earth fresh tilled, And musty odors of last year's hay. Life on the farm moving twilight to day... Everything conspiring to call me to play.

One morning I was eight
In the faint light Of a burning candle She sat cross-legged On her bed Holding her head In her hands … Her face was as pale As her nightgown, Her eyes as red As the flame She was staring at … Her face was expressionless Lost in deep thought It made her look As if she wasn’t really alive … Then she smiled A worrisome smile The impassive look Still obvious in her gaze … She laughed And she laughed Bloodcurdling as it sounded The laughter echoed In the closed room … The dead look left her Replaced by an malevolent facade “The agony,” she said with malice “Will end tonight.” She grabbed the chandelier And her eyes opened wide Then she moved to the window Subconsciously And set the tip of the curtain ablaze ... The room roared with the noise of fire And the echo of her laughter So devious and clear … Shadows danced around the walls Crazy shadows of black and grey And the ceiling was stained with char … The laughter soon faded into a cough As the smoke filled her lungs She fell to her knees With a grin of victory on her face. When the morning came, Flowers were abloom Birds took their place, chirruping, On a charred window railing. And sunshine slipped inside the room Onto a dead burnt skeleton Lying in the cinders...

Flaming Victory
A thousand years back in time, It was greener than ever. A legion of evergreen trees and outgrown ting bushes. A family of chirruping birds to violent hungry beasts. All in serenity as in home. It was never uncanny But it is now. At present it is only a land in dreams. No less than hell it is A place devoid of peace with dead trees in piece. A land of ever lost hope as all animal lost their home. In future darker it would be and who did this - We!

FOREST - THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
* In the early morning sunlight, Pearly crystals of heptagonal raindrops On ***** green grass Disperse sunlight Giving it a colourful background. Cool breeze, Birds’ chirruping, Leaves' rustling Fresh earthy aroma, Make you forget The other day’s scorching sun and listless wind. *

Early Morning Rain
Today when wandering at around daybreak I was Wondering Those little birds So little Spheral glistening eyes Majestic feather patterns Chirruping, twittering,fluttering Dots the vast nothing of sky Flocking in sync Pulls of a fleeting but perfect Performance And push off From somewhere to somewhere I hope they know where they are going What are they doing I hope they know That it's gonna rain That what would be tasty and what's gonna pain I hope they can tell From a toxic and a good fern That morning sun soothe and Noon one gonna burn What is love, life, sorrow Can they tell today from tomorrow Bliss, health, Joy and to be watchful of an arrow; And which is autumnal air And then, that  it's gonna snow I just hope for em all Do they know? Of course, they know!! Right? I wish I could fly, Or at least just sit by Sometimes and could tell em That we all down here Are cool And hope you fly for joy not of fear For it lifts our soul in whole Of your sight mere; And yeah come over anytime we'll share a bite And tales Of our low slung world And of your endless realms. Is there a way to thank them Or any gesture of reassurance Any signal I can wave to them That they can understand Is there any? I know That there's no. To let them know Those little ones Up there.

Those little ones up there
Chirruping birds lay in wait; as we passed, the flowers flushed, Frivolously through the woods we ran- heads occasionally kissed by the dew, In my petite hand, a rose red of hue, the fountains of love loudly gushed. As Spring cast her spell, nothing would change, I knew. The cruel scorching sun, the scathing hot winds a cruel blow delivered, Gravely, she shook her head, reassuring words the Doctor sought. A pearl of sweat adorned his brow- he feared. As Summer dawned, nothing would change, I thought. The bitterly cold flakes of snow, the surging sinister cold, His beautiful eyes, shut, were shielded while I wept and moped. The blink of an eye; the reassuring smile he attempted spoke of a heart of gold, As Winter imposed, nothing would change I hoped. The leaves tearfully from the naked trees parted, A surrendering smile, my name on his lips grew, The final breath, our bond severed- his bed away was carted. As Fall struck, everything would change, I knew.

The Seasons of Life.
Fields stretching out in yellow and green The brilliant blue of the sky joining in the distance A gentle breeze swaying the sunburnt grass The crickets chirruping their piercing songs Tranquillity is all around The clean air fills the lungs As the calm spreads throughout Like a lover’s hand caressing the body Or the warmth of the first hit of ***** Releasing the pain from within All has disappeared And I am one with nature But its permanence is fleeting The cold turkey will kick in And as thoughts flood back The tsunami of angst returns The realities of life

The Permanence Of Time Freezing Together As One
angel hair knotted in this sailor-apostle's fist seafoam scurvy in turbid oceans of a mouth that smokes cannabis-infused bible pages and exhales exhumed passages unearthed eons ago i'm an embarassment, i swear i wasn't gay but i awoke at mid-afternoon with no clothes on and next to you and your unbridled skin molesting me with cancer sins and chirruping horoscopes i'm bird-brained to tell that my knuckle bruises and my spine's claw marks were from last night

Silence for what seems like decades, Endless periods of time, In this small choking room, With charred walls And torn curtains, With nothing but dust hanging in midair. Clocks had stopped ticking, And water doesn’t drip-drop anymore From the never-sealed tap. No sunshine beaming through my window, No birds chirruping in my garden, Only dry dead branches, Dry baked earth, The smell of cobwebs and rot. Sitting in my corner for so long, I’ve become almost as lifeless As this place itself.

Lifeless
Going out for a while Relaxing our mind Leaving everything behind. Raising sun Natural melodious tune Chirruping od birds Smelling the brightly coloured flowers. Running behind the floating butterfly Flowing water makes me feel like I am floating in my dream. Sitting on the green grass Holding my knees to my chest Watching the evening sky and Imagining different shapes in clouds. Shouting from the mountain, just want to feel the blowing cool wind over the mountain peak.

Breathing fresh air
You think I don’t see the stars You think I don’t wonder at the sky As I crouch here Unseen Unseen but heard A small chirruping twig of keratin. I am come quickly to this world And leave the same I have some purpose Which is not to entertain Or become a romantic icon of your late summer sentiment I am here solely to exist for a brief moment of beauty I dare you to claim more.

Cricket
I had flown over Yugoslavia While children lived and played Returning, after their war and shame We went a different way. I hadn't seen their faces Or known of their plight I had been to another place Which this poem is about On an island of gods In a sea of rich blue I heard the loud chirruping Saw no-one fight Distant flashes of bombs Over sea in the night I was told were men fishing With dynamite. Oblivious I, while they died o'er the way Treading gently the path To see the cicadas I sat down for a day I sat on a rock in the scorching sun Elusive they hid in my blindness, so near A day and a day I sat on the rock Patient, I sat, transformation begun. As I became rock and my hair became clouds Oleander my clothes and grasses my bower I saw them, so close, mist had dissolved Grasshopper faces and love for each other.

They say there is a song for everything For every triumph For each failure For everything Well ? Is there a song for me? A song that ranges from a soft operatic voice to a death metal voice The chirruping almost sickening happiness voice The soft melancholic voice Is there a song like that? Well? Is there a song for me? A song that will tell you about my smiles when I was younger A song that will indulge you within emotions I never understood A song that will take you through the fear of the first rugby game and the pain of the fractured wrist The daunting experience of a first crush .... The terror of being plunged in awareness..... The horror of being ostrasized Spending my time alone with my new awareness Being taunted Being teased Well..... Is there a song for me? A song to show my emotions My realization that I was different My horror at being different My hatred at the world My hatred at god And his falsehoods My looking into a mirror and seeing naught but something you hate My masochism My scars My life..... Well Is there a song for me?

Well? Is there a song for me?
Stony chirruping cuddle my ears I woke up with pent-up emotions Shooed the stony chirruping Yet stony silence broke my heart Crumplings of which dove refused The sweeper swept them..

Crumplings of heart..
I got bitten by a spider, but this is England. A certain arachnid politeness is expected, holding back on venom, for example, or moving at a predictable, parochial pace and arranging eyes, legs and hairs to not offend. Hanging out in bedside sleeves so an early morning stumble is accompanied by slow burning pin ****** leaving mild swelling and discomfort is just not cricket. Don’t get me started on those chirruping buffoons.
