It's always been you! If only you realized how much you mean to me, Not a moment goes by when I don't stop to think about you, Your peculiarity alone can do that, And, that's always been you! What makes you so special? In layman terms, You are my greatest strength And, my greatest weakness. The serenity in your halcyon heart, The charisma of your captivating eyes, The elegance in your illustrious smile, The tenderness of your seductive lips, The spark in your gentle touch, The gracefulness of your alluring neck, The radiance in your dazzling lustrous hair, The lure of your hypnotizing heaving ***** The haven in your scintillating navel, The holiness of your ravishing waist, The sanctity of your fascinating hips, The wickedness in your mesmerising curves, For my hopes lie on, The gateway to your heart, That is now open, Through the divine pathway in your sacred forest, Filled with untold and concealed secrets, And, mysteries unknown to man, For I hope to touch, nurture and caress, Every deep wall in you, For you are the prayer to my appetite, And, the incarnation of my desires, It is now that I get the privilege of being a being, To realize, You complete me! You are desire, You are passion, The inspiration for wanting more in life, The personification of loving life itself. The paragon of my eroticism, And, not an end will there be, For my ***** crave, To be destroyed, By the ****** dynamite you are. An eternal pleasure in sensual misery you are, And, a heaven in my hell, The zenith of all climaxes, And, the paradigm for my resurrection. The yearning for the man in me, You are!

The Epitome of Love and Desire!
It's always been you! If only you realized how much you mean to me, Not a moment goes by when I don't stop to think about you, Your peculiarity alone can do that, And, that's always been you! What makes you so special? In layman terms, You are my greatest strength And, my greatest weakness. The serenity in your halcyon heart, The charisma of your captivating eyes, The elegance in your illustrious smile, The tenderness of your seductive lips, The spark in your gentle touch, The gracefulness of your alluring neck, The radiance in your dazzling lustrous hair, The lure of your hypnotizing heaving ***** The haven in your scintillating navel, The holiness of your ravishing waist, The sanctity of your fascinating hips, The wickedness in your mesmerising curves, For my hopes lie on, The gateway to your heart, That is now open, Through the divine pathway in your sacred forest, Filled with untold and concealed secrets, And, mysteries unknown to man, For I hope to touch, nurture and caress, Every deep wall in you, For you are the prayer to my appetite, And, the incarnation of my desires, It is now that I get the privilege of being a being, To realize, You complete me!

I must be floating somewhere in the fourth dimension. I feel like I’m a formula in quantum mechanics: Complex and misunderstood… But if you know my concept well enough I can be broken down into numbers and logarithms That even a layman could understand With a basic knowledge of math and science Before he drops out of the university, Because who has the patience To simplify me? You're the scientist and mathematician Who disregarded imaginary numbers Due to theoretical imperfections Even if it was your thesis.

A bird lived its life lonely, None came for its help, It kept hunting for fruit pulp, Considered relations and family unholy. When its mother lived on difficulty, Other relative birds, treated it a person of mediocrity, Refused to follow generosity without partiality, To keep them safe, pretended their incapacity. Elder sister of the lonely bird kept threatening, About the future inabilities and loneliness, For a family life, kept telling it undeserving, Told it would face disappointments without liveliness. Life kept the lonely bird, lonely, The bird never cared about it, It had its mother with it, Life went lively & happily. Lonely bird had a fear in its thought, What happens, in loneliness if I am caught? It felt severe anguish and fear, On occasions, its heart fell in tear! Its elder sister, treated it with disrespect, In spite of it being, an aspiring intellect, Life of lonely bird remained downward, It got itself ready for situations untoward. The lonely bird kept struggling and thriving, With its ambition and goals put its life driving, Going remained really impossible & tough The path to dream remained very rough. Its fellow birds, remained happily settled, For lonely bird, things looked to be tangled, It was skilled, opportunities remained disabled, With rejections, life continuously growled. The lonely bird wanted to turn phenomenal, Didn’t look out to happiness personal, It did not have family, In its wealth remained, being hit poorly. Life went downward with pause, It was on long term ambition and cause, The bird turned itself a hungry beast, To put it away from loneliness, at least. If none is there, to take care, I would die! I would die! For a worldly mission, if I dare! Of loneliness, I would never cry! Elder sister of lonely bird threatened, You were born a layman Will die an orphan! Because you are a madman! The lonely bird, responded for it in life, I was born a layman, Will fight for my mission like a madman, Will die always fighting world evils as a spearman. There was ring! There was a ring! It was named Bhagat Singh! It told me life is lived on its own, Others shoulders are used at time of funeral. There was an alarm! There was an alarm! The name was Abdul Kalam, It told me Always be the unique you, Even if world wants to change you everybody else. Loneliness sometimes hit it like thorn, Nothing could make it torn, Through difficulties it was born, It lived life to make this world adorn. Loneliness turns out ubique, I am not alone! I am not alone! I am an unshakable stone, I am unique! I am unique!

A LONELY BIRD
A bird lived its life lonely, None came for its help, It kept hunting for fruit pulp, Considered relations and family unholy. When its mother lived on difficulty, Other relative birds, treated it a person of mediocrity, Refused to follow generosity without partiality, To keep them safe, pretended their incapacity. Elder sister of the lonely bird kept threatening, About the future inabilities and loneliness, For a family life, kept telling it undeserving, Told it would face disappointments without liveliness. Life kept the lonely bird, lonely, The bird never cared about it, It had its mother with it, Life went lively & happily. Lonely bird had a fear in its thought, What happens, in loneliness if I am caught? It felt severe anguish and fear, On occasions, its heart fell in tear! Its elder sister, treated it with disrespect, In spite of it being, an aspiring intellect, Life of lonely bird remained downward, It got itself ready for situations untoward. The lonely bird kept struggling and thriving, With its ambition and goals put its life driving, Going remained really impossible & tough The path to dream remained very rough.

Its hard to believe to listen to The sound of silence through layman's ears For silence,an unestablished thought Rides the young hearts only through fear. Maturity, an understanding through beneath Sediments like evils srata For if you conquered,it only leads To the sound of silence,every data. For as we stare, me and words together, Silence redeems through the pages Every drop of ink forever Can spell the words through all the ages. The silence that lingers between Begs me to hear it closer Its trying to express the unwanted enclitic The words that will fade never. And now as i cherish this conversation of silence, I realize that ink has a spirit And to know the mistake i have committed Which on my face like a bright light lit. And to know the spectacular reason I'm astonished myself, i must say Ink helps us when we are not thinking Flowing on paper without delay. This sound of silence that i have gathered now, Must be of great help all through my life It will let me hear all those unsound-able things And help me to decide when to stab a knife. Through my youth scores, a bunch of thirty Led me through a rugged terrain, And now i want a plain surface with lots of pleasure To lead a life, to be truly sane. The sound is like a hand i want Which helps me to walk in young years Through the blasphemy, through humanism It will strike away all my fears. Does one realize that i said The words of silence through every phase The crumb of bread a beggar needs The food of life heaven feeds? They can't be realized by screaming though oceans, They can't be realized by ending a story For they are the curse of hearing unknown thoughts, The sound of silence one and only. My heart beats are frantic now, As i have reached the harmonics of music, Sweet and presentable they are now Tapping your life like your feet. They are many fellows who can't sing So they make you suffer the sound of silence With every teardrop longing for supper Fighting their way through all the violence. For those who have a great voice It doesn't mean that they have to be proud, For it may break any time Like breaking a stone, like rumbling of clouds. And i may not be an instrumentalist And i may not be a teacher, But i can stop the silence and let them hear music And make them smile, not to suffer.

the cardiologist, in passing, remarks, or perhaps, “re-marks” my ECG test, casually revealing that every fifteen or twenty or so of my regularly scheduled hearts beats, an extra one sneaks it, which appears unlike all the rest of those normative little hillocks pointing skyward, ^ ^ ^ V ^ ^ ^ ^ yep that one, sneaky ****** slips in, pointing downwards like a class clown always disrupting classroom’s good order… Doc reassures it don’t mean a thing if you got that extra swing,   and our friendly informing internet reassures: “The idea of your heartbeat going rogue may sound alarming. But in most cases, an ectopic beat is a harmless condition. It's also a common one” but yet I am intrinsically intrigued, oh yeah, that’s an intentional funny double entendre, but methinks that explains so much of my irregular, irreverent poetry scribbling, particularly because this bratty beat be best addressed directly as: “You Little Rogue!” a highly scientific term, taught in medical schools by non-poets, but needy for definitions that the layman can love and keep in their heart shaped hands…

intrinsically intrigued by my irregular, irreverent, extra heartbeat...
there are times when the meaning of a word is asked one that has been read and regurgitated used regularly correctly adopted as part of an apparent well-read    or pretentious vocabulary however upon being asked its meaning there is only a blank vacuous addled unable to provide a succinct or even literate definition to save face to re-establish the hubris of this abashed lexicologist analogous alternatives will be offered oversimplified synonyms carrying a little less gravitas a layman's explanation to maintain position on his self-congratulatory podium

it's a lexicon
DURING THIS VISIT I am a layman laid up with a very dodgy ankle that winced about Paris for almost a week with every footaghhhhhhhfall. Now it's the A&E; for me. The electronic noticeboard flashes up its what nots faster than I can scan. I barely catch CQC Good( shadow )Rating. Two wheelchairs (peopleless) chat about the this of that typical wheelchair chit-chat. A portable X-ray machine pretends to be a giraffe. "oooooOOOOK...we are going to get Geoff the Giraffe to have a look at that!" The child smiles through the pain. The screen peppers me with possibilities. Extremely likely? Neither Likely nor Unlikely? Etc., etc., etc. My mind opts for a simple I Don't Know. "Breast." says the screen." "Max Fax & Orthodontics." "Re-hab shouldn't be boring!" A questionnaire asks me to think. Big mistake. I start to think. Pain & Boredom turns these hospitalised facts ( what ever they mean? ) into a something only my brain can understand. "And now, straight in at No.! with a fantastic new single it's... ...Max Fax & The Orthodontics with the glorious bouncy BREAST!" "MORTALITY by The Upper Quartile falls down one place to No. 2!" My shadow is feeling very poorly at this instant in time. Hasn't even bothered to turn up. There goes my good (shadow)rating. I think I'll switch to silhouette instead. I practice my Ogham. SAT 4 APRIL says the clock. It's hands joined together in prayer. I switch off my mind & float down stream.

WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE A&E DEPARTMENT
(I) People used to light candles to ward off
 prophesies such as this. Stopping, each motherly representative, for 75 seconds 
or less, to tip match-spark to wax-thread and hope for the best. What ceremonial significance now 
do we seek for to slow the approach 
of what we know is waiting? Oncoming march of death-knolls and unhappiness 
bound up in silence 
where once we laughed uncensored at and for
 the characters who spun throughout this town, that school, the city, our lives. All being, understandably, becomes 
efficiently replaced with obvious simplicity.
 From effortless performances 
of what made our lives important
 back in childhood years when living was stable and guaranteed,
 now to this mongrel era of constant migration 
beckoning....
 The familiar is no longer our youth’s careless summer holidays.
 The Familiar is now a land where 
people don’t bother with any ideas 
of an ideal existence beyond 
what lottery tickets may bring. Those who inhabit here are 
more alerted to the purpose of lighting 
coals in winter to shelter the children 
and to keep the windows from cracking. 
In summer find these same awaiting with
 patient ears to heed any advice which keeps them from going completely insane. (II) Go now, away
,begin your quest, foolish schoolboy.
 An entire adolescence’s
 comeuppance is due. 
 Time now to seek recompense for the years you waited
 for anything significant to happen. 
 Time to seek girls with inviting eyes 
and lilting vowels to offer favors to. Abled with a catalogue of charmed 
intoxicants. All softened by a plentitude of weekdays waking at three in the afternoon. 
(Does “afternoon” exist in layman’s terms? Does 
he simply made do with morning, day and night?) Then on your flight make haste 
to ensure your visit merely brief.
 Like only one dimension of
 your day-persona be a hawk
 that delivers messages 
back to the ivory towers of 
new central HQ, while remaining 
 all cloak and whisper. Messages from where people live 
but no longer speak, 
as result of an assigned sense 
of failure,or complimentary 
wrongdoings sought, what sorrow achieves. 
Shattered lives, Ending dreams.

Arthur dear, don’t fret. Papers, papers, get your papers.   I have never been to the sea.  I always wanted to go to the sea.   No, never since my husband died.   Oh aye, a sight to behold.   The rascals of Ballydrim out in force.   The maid peept out the window. The fryar and the nun.   An old man is a bed full of bones.   Is he not, is it not, is it not? Rose is red and rose is white.   New new nothing.   Row well ye mariners.   I have never seen the sea.   The pauper and the layman, the priest and the scoundrel, all moving with intent.   Sometimes, fleetingly, never anything less.   Profound, very, yes dreadfully profound.   Labour in vaine.   In great concentric circles about the time your husband died.   Biting the bullets one by one, out on the green fields of Amerikay.   Interest rates climbing on the national stew fund.  Spiralling into a new dawn of exoneration of traditional values.   Gracie did all those things and more.   And the quaker danced. Rose is red and rose is red.   For judge and jury.   Very very far. Quite near actually.   Further than strictly possible.   In all reason dear.   75 miles from the sea.  Exactly. And another. And another. AND another.   Drawing to a conclusion. Bliss.   Seemingly. Fleetingly.   (pause) Have at thy coat old woman!

Punchline to a Romance
High up on the far back wall in the back of the factory where I sell my free time is a constellation of dirt, chipped paint and cobwebs forming the shape of a bear lounging in a hammock I have coworkers who insist that it's a monkey, trapped in a net but they are wrong. It's clearly a bear Ursa Somniculosa, or, as the layman may call it the Little Napper No matter where I am on the floor, I can see him hanging there in his hammock enjoying his perpetual vacation maybe sipping on a nice tall beer soaking up the sun - not being a trapped monkey like all of us down here

Ursa Somniculosa
Shirtless, barefoot, and reeking of self-loathe; he sat in silence at the edge of his mattress. Studying the black lettering on the face of the prescription bottle through bloodshot eyes. His name indicated in bold just above the RX number. Aloud he read the words Amphetamine Salts To the layman- adderall: A quick fix for your run of the mill 'screw-up'. But to him it meant yet another night without sleep. One more night away from his demons. Without the crippling nightmares; The reoccurring remembrance of events no longer (if even ever) within his immediate control. Glancing over at the clock- counting quickly on fingers, he’d figured it’d been about sixty-four hours since his last sleep. The lack of rest accompanied by excessive alcohol consumption, was making things hazy. Days bled into one another. His eyes started playing tricks. Now sitting up straight, he applied pressure to the childproof lid, and twisted. Plunging his fingers into the bottle, removing two more pills, he held them for a moment— Then, with the help of a flat, warm, beer swallowed another twelve guaranteed hours without sleep. Laying back, legs hanging off the edge of the bed muscles aching, stomach growling, eyeballs burning; content in knowing he'd die before ever facing that dream again.

Layman's troubles, you fickle bode, Who picks apart my breaths incentives, And hastens my growing old. Oh why can not you find But one excuse to leave me, For if the move was partnered I'd grin and jump across the sea, To find a locked up place to hide Til' you decide to change your mind, And sure you will, You have before, Then came with troubles new; Searched, and found me hidden beneath the floor. I hope some day you'll understand My eyes of darkened shades, And why they churn a fire burning, Wishing you would end these days. Only then will I choose to leap Across the sea once more. For a chance to walk on ground not burdened By my troubles That burn all open doors.

the planets will align every once in awhile to arraign all who need or are deserving of it those who find themselves treading the wrong path those who can no longer see what lies ahead despite all those gazing upwards      silently questioning these immaterial messages will be overlooked unheeded by the majority only recognised by the few comprehended by even fewer this singular occurrence rare and rarefied may be explainable in its most basic sense logistically      empirically to even the layman it is but a simple matter of timings and orbits calculations of gravity versus mass and inertia but that which truly matters the universal push and pull will leave even the most discerning of minds in the dark

when we concur
We're loose associations. Brutality queues the phrases. Reality loses luster, in fallow with boot to daisies . Cowering and embracing our trusted tomes, honing a fruitless joke, that only touches on tones that suit the layman Famous and clueless faces. Racing to rue the cadence. Faking a sweet embrace, for imminent tears, but grew impatient. California coos sooth impostor fits, but it's a syndrome fifty shades dense, and way to thick to fit the staples. In case you were getting wayward; our guiding fables, sentinels that they are, will guard the stables and bark orders, pouring out the spirits and clearing history, with brazen logic. Honestly, I carved a broken heart, instead of tapping the maple, sue me.

I carved a heart.
the landscape is not painted with large words in which you need a dictionary to assist in meaning it is for the layman the foreground doesn't lead way to a background with a larger picture, full of insight and intrigue it is for the layman the colors are not pretty and all encompassing they are dark and dreary much like the world you're inhabiting it is for the layman nothing is dressed up, made up, or made over there's no makeup covering the flaws and imperfections it is for the layman

For The Layman
“Hello World!” said timid David, wrapped in ecstasy. “If I were to love you, I would tell you of the flowers That you would receive Each February. But, I’m sorry to admit, That that’s not quite my bag. I much prefer to tell you myself, So the florist be ****** David wraps his arms around his arbitrary name. Love is simple. Why can’t peace be the same? We must all ask why we take the sour cynicists into account. How much can they really represent, If they’re too busy ******* on my (your) rhetoric? The layman would ask me to not use my own terminology, But how can I explain this in terms other than the immortal that I hold dear? Number 5, number 5, how you suit me so well. You’re complete, but odd. Estranged from his or her thoughts, One must act with swift conduct. I can’t imagine the consequence of a slower martial artist. And thus, we make our way to the martial arts, Dear Reader (that’s you, and I love you, very , very much). But, let us ignore the subtleties of Tai Chi. Because, I’m rather drunk, and couldn’t perform Even if I really wanted to. Actually, I don’t know that. Neither do you. This is my lament. And my love. Transcribed in simple English. “Thank the Gods for ***** I yell, with complete sincerity! This is newness, Not like the monotony of burning Earth! My tolerance is at a standstill. Tolerance Is what we use an excuse To be less intoxicated that we actually are. Toughness incarnate, isn’t it? Dear Reader? (Much love, by the way.)

You as a layman May never experience this And it is most likely You won't But If you ever catch on fire Remember the three rules I speak of now 1.stop           Don't panic, realize your situation, and that you can be okay though calm, concerted effort, don't run! Running only creates oxygen to fuel the flame 2.drop          Fall to the floor, even the very act of being on the floor smothers whatever part of you that is burning that hits the floor. And it is necessary to be on the floor to achieve the most important lesson being taught within my words 3.telephone           Now that you are on the floor, pull out your telephone. Strike a pose, and take a selfie. Because for gods sake you are on fire, and you know that it can go viral. And really, dying by burning to death is worth it if you are able to entertain someone in doing so. Instagram will go crazy over you And I suppose step four would be after you have a picture you like, then  roll to put the fire out. But most people never make it this far.

Stop, Drop, and Telephone ( a safety manuel)
Resting in peace, here are those Who have got, no self to loose A silent aura, enshrouding this cemetery Retires them, from life' s ***** What is it, that they want to tell us Are they really left, or present among us Whatever they will be doing, in their afterlife Surely they shed their divine blessings, upon us A layman writes this rhyme, while having a gaze at it His heart will always be lit, by a light Of respect, which everyone should follow, for their sakes too As this is the ending, of every individual bit |AB|

Why do you have to take my only need? Do I have to bleed down the river for you to not see? My corridors are filled with pain covered walls and shock induced traumas. Drowned emotions in cast iron tubs, rust through my life at the bottom of the ocean I know not but temptation and contemplation, it only bounces around inside like a drug store explosion. We start to walk down the mirrored lined hallways the wrong way I mean our eyes glare off each other the wrong way. I mean, "what in the **** am I trying to say? You just don't get it, do you? I mean, it goes right through you, I think I may have a rusty ***** loose or maybe you do. Your agony runs through my veins, conversing memories, explaining nurseries and even a midnight summer's wet dream. So let me explain this to you, in layman's terms, the ****** broke a long time ago.. but you seemed to have missed your period and the point. I know I am not only one, I know about all the others. I mean. You bounced around those guy's  mattresses like you are on some gymnastic's trampoline. Then come home late at night like a ninja, like I wouldn't even see. I am not a blind man walking around with a stick, the true sinister gaze you gave me is like sinister maze inside my brain. But I solved this 300 piece puzzle that you left on the nook and I didn't even have to open the book. I think it is time to close this unbridged chapter in my life with no unadulterated bookmarks and bounce around to the end where I know the words which will make me a whole lot happier and much more content
