Muck monster Mar 2016
Tic tock the birds all cood
The clocks and pendellums swiched and swood

He loved his clocks, they kept him company
Even to a vampire, immortality gets lonely

He was an odd one of his race no doubt
The only one he knew who slept spread out

Clausterphobia is uncommon to find in his kind
But even in his coffin he felt confined

He thought it perfectly reasonable though
As he paced around his clocks to and fro

He always found the coffin dark and stuffy
If you had to sleep forever, you'ld choose
something big and fluffy

More ironic than that he found was his fixation
Time to him was an endless execration

His fate rung in his mind with every tic
A rhythmic reminder beginning to make him sick

It's actually madenning listening to every tock
Eons have past with these God forsaken clocks

He finally decided to pick up a bat
And smash every cukoo bird he had outright flat

But even as he lay on his fluffy white bed
Staring at broken bits and gears, his relief unsaid

Still he found the lair a tad bit dry
No more company around to keep him by

He realized that there was not much to be done
He should make the most of his time, and have a little fun

But first he had to spruce up the place, making sure it wouldnt frustrate
With something that, prefrebably, didnt remind him of his fate

He sat there staring at nothing, stiff and perplexed
And thought sternly to himself "Maybe snowglobes next"
This was inspired by a fun writing prompt that asked to write a story involving:
A clausterphobic vampire
A cukoo clock
And a snowglobe

Can't sleep
These dizzy thoughts
spinning ceaslessly
relentless
in a cup

Half empty,
Half full?

Who knows,
But in the end
the mad hatter will
still wish you had
never been born--
A very Merry Unbirthday to you
to me?

Indeed

Round and Round
they go
mixing colors, textures
emotions, thought
into this smear of humanity

A stain on the background of my mind
as it clicks and whirs and calculates
the options, the weighted possibilities
the electrical impulses zipping past
the smear of confused, muttled anguish

through it, around it,
but the shock cannot
seperate the colors
the textures, the emotions,
the thoughts

The colors melt into grey
various shades of unvarying
reluctant gestures

As the cheshire cat
smiles and laughs like
the cookie crisp mascot
cukoo for coooookie crisp
I hear its laughter

Chuckling madly
at the mad hatter and myself
the mad hatter sipping
out of the cup of grey
as he sings about my unborn nature

Unborn into the world of reality
of sensibility, of responsibility

WAKE UP

I snap back
I look around
and do not recognize
anything at all

It's a different buzz when

I hear of someone who isn't like anyone else,

Like a mellifluous cukoo in middle

of a metropolitan, a wave of fresh air breezing past

the sailors of Atlantic or as if it rained upon

the deserted desert where ozymandias is buried.




All the myths were buried

About things glowing brighter when,

I happened to glance upon

her gleam; where else,

Have I seen such shine, never in mine,past

which only she stands, next to The Sun, none in middle.




This sestina is hers,thou shalln't disturb in middle,

Those traits Methuselah said, is long lost and buried,

I don't know if it's hers, or she borrowed from the past,

Maybe she learnt at the right time, I don't know when,

Maybe she learnt it from someone, I don't know who else

can guide my way to the place, Redeemer was once built upon.




She is the Horatio, you can freely trust upon,

Tom to the Huck Finn,when stuck in middle,

"Acceptability" as she puts it, is second to none else,

Eleos must be proud of things she left buried,

Aesthetic in itself did her trait sound when

I caught upto myself in wake of my past.




Don't fool yourself, everyone still has a past,

But weak are those who keep clinging upon

the setbacks of life , the scars you get, never when

you came across but when u get stuck in middle

of holding onto it over keeping it buried,

But she isn't us, changing times doesn't wear her but everyone else.




It's not something I only observed, ask someone else,

It's what she stands for , way above her past,

I always worry about the good things being buried,

But oblivion is what her world's built upon,

Infinity and beyond is what she will be deciding in middle

of choosing destinies she'll own, time will tell when.




Who? I hope you got her upon, the hints I dropped in middle,

My examples are all the buried , yet her hint lies in only their past,

I might sound cliché when, I say like you there lies none else.
This is a poem dedicated to one of my really close friend on her birthday... P.S. I don't really know a lot of poetic schemes and I just wrote SESTINA for the first time... It's my first ever Lexical Repetition based write up. Suggestions are welcomed.
Do not wait for me, beloved
on the other side of this verse
where the sun is presumed
to dissolve at eve

as a passionate lover
into the waiting arms
of the deep blue seas,

expecting me to turn
water into wine,

to resurrect the dry bones of
a love long dead beyond redemption!

No, move on, Chéri
for the butterflies have
long departed for elsewhere

leaving each lovebird to its fate,
like the cukoo bird it's young.

All that's left now are
nostalgic memories of the past

All that's left now are beggarly dreams
farfetched at deep high sea.

— The End —
