Before you criticize me too soon, I think you should spare some seconds and answer a simple question to yourself... If Shahjahan loved Mumtaz Mahal so much, why he had a harem of wives to use at his own pleasure? While I agree that the Taj Mahal is arguably the most extraordinarily beautiful monument in the world, I don't agree upon the fact that it was built as a tomb of love. It is just a symbol of madness if you asked me. An emperor's insecure feeling to get his name registered in the history books. While it may be one of the most beautiful architectural monument, it was built by over 20,000 architects, craftsmen, masons and engineers who took over 16 years to build the magnificent building. He got this apparently high & prestigious monument of love built but everything that the Emperor did was not pleasant at all. ° The lavishly living Mughal Emperor spent all his - his subjects' money into building this monument of love instead of keeping his subjects well-fed. ° Mumtaz Mahal might have been the luckiest woman to have died and got such a marvelous building built as her mausoleum but she died giving birth to her & Shahjahan's 17th offspring and then Shahjahan who had uncountable other wives was inspired by her demise apparently to undertake what is termed as the biggest project in history build the costliest monument proclaiming his rule. ° The arrogant - falsely proud lover - Mughal emperor didn't know that what he thought to be looked at as the greatest symbol of love will be criticized by some poet in his own land nearly 375 years later. The insane Mughal Emperor got all the builders of the Taj Mahal's fingers cut-off of so that there could be no other Taj Mahal. But Aurangzeb, his & Mumtaz Mahal's son overthrew his power when Shahjahan got older and locked him up in a jail at the other end of Yamuna river where the emperor then died a sad old lovelorn bedlamite person in prison. Aurangzeb was the exact opposite of his dad, he showed religious intolerance and his habits drove the empire towards its doom after his death. But let me think this way; when I look at any picture of the Taj Mahal, what I get the first thing in mind is this: Such a CRAZY emperor who got such a beautiful monument of Egotism built!

Taj Mahal - An Epitome Of Love?
Before you criticize me too soon, I think you should spare some seconds and answer a simple question to yourself...

Establish a research and development facility tasked with recycling 100,000 commonly used household goods or packaged products back into the original base material needed to remake it into new product packaging. Pass legislation requiring all companies selling products with packaging to buy their source materials from a registered public-private venture allowing any firm willing to participate to do so. Companies must then manufacture packaging locally using source materials supplied by one of the public-private companies. Companies will also be required to hire locally using a diversity and economic income model incorporating or locating the participating companies in the poorest rural counties in the state. Society grows great when Old Men plant trees.  -Socrates

We've heard the tales of eyes and smiles a hundred times before, but for this one I write about, I'll have to add one more. Though songs of faces say so much, they cannot tell the all, so I shall sing of one who wears the golden waterfall. The signals of her hatred for this world of little lies is registered within the tell-tale candor of her eyes. On this plane of human falsehood, such honesty stands tall, and so I sing of one who wears the golden waterfall. The poetry of words alone has not the grace to give her passion to discover all the love she wants to live. A warmth too great to be contained in her body, largely small flows through the hair of she who wears the golden waterfall. So from aside I watch, a half-read book upon her shelf as she throws light upon the unkind mirror of her self and wonders if the things she seeks will listen to her call - look! See them run to one who wears the golden waterfall.

Golden Waterfall
The Moon has a gentle light, which he gifts the Earth, It could be compared to how you talk to a child; Careful, soft and in a sweet manner His light doesn't hurt me, which is what I adore, Therefore, is it bad that I tend to lose myself in his gaze ? When he rises over me, in a clear, registered pace ? Without a sound I let go of all troubles, all pain, As the clouds open and it has stopped to rain, Many people do want to be the sun to brighten up anothers day, But not me, this is not something for me to say. I wish to be alike the moon, brighten up your darkest of times, And be here, to illuminate tomorrows very way Tug you into a delicate embrace, like his light tends to do And be here for you, till I have to rest too. Even in the coldest of nights, the moon manages to warm my heart And manages my heart not to just fall apart Tonight again I will enjoy his light, After all, I hope he does not leave my sight ~ Umi

The Chains of ones fate are undenyable, as life carries on, Servants caught in a hell of rebirth without ever escaping, A red thread which leads verily onto a destined pathway, Decisions, the pen and the ink for ones book of destiny, They may ruin the servant, or bring them great happiness, May mislead, trick, ****** or even manipulate them without their conciousness or understanding of the weight they brought upon their poor little, yet precious bodies which carry on depression as if it was the weight of the world or far beyond that registered mass, In a hole with seemingly no escape to it, trapped in misery, Chains of suffocating pressure are keeping them in place, Oh what a terrible fate it must be to be in this position, Patience, hope and positivity are needed to see another ray of sunlight, shining beyond the scene of the darkened clouds above Once this trial has been overcome they too will shine with newfound strengh, energy and relieving glee from within themselves, So fight on, you precious souls, you are worth more than you might think or would even admit to yourselves, then shine That would be, a great wish of mine ~ Umi

Chains
By the earth and it's wonderful, wide and unique expanse A mother to what is living on it and inside of it, may it be small or great in their posture given to them. Indeed this place inhabits many creatures, faces and races. Each striving for their own path, of staying alive. The soft soil of the Earth, a comfortable living and breathing ground to walk on, proud and all connected, only to be divided By the sea which covers most of this planet, comparable to a blanket From which we gain food and drink, in a clear registered cycle. Of course this place too holds it's dangers, such as a quake could end it all in a brutal roughless manner and tear it from the ground we build our houses on. Or be it an eruption which casts a rain of ash and embers, suffocating the sky above, the ceiling which was meant to protect is our very end. A mighty wave, which sweeps over the cities, drowning them in it's lethal, cold and brutal, moist and salty embrace. It is not healthy to be in such a negative spectra of thinking however For this place holds, more transient, living, artistic beauty than I could simply express or convey in words. ~ Umi

I'm the villain, but how was I supposed to know he had a wife and two children. Twenty-three years of marriage and she contemplates her happily ever after coming to an end……after a miscarriage, another child's death, 23 anniversaries, and 23 year old twins. My sugar daddy lead a double life, but how, how, how……was I supposed to know that he had a wife? It should've registered to me how he always wanted to skip out of town, but how could he lie to his goddess and not see her standing before him in her wedding gown. She hates me……She hates me and I don't blame her, if she decides to **** me and him both, I hope they don't tame her. When this woman walked in with her husband's **** inside of me I felt a rush of excitement, rode him harder and looked her in the eyes as I did it……painful mistakes you make when you're *** addicted. They'll think about how Dad's fake girlfriend is younger than them, but they won't understand, she'll wonder why he stepped out on her with a stripper young enough to be their resting daughter………as she thinks of a backup plan. I know this is wrong, but I might be in love, and this is strong. There's black and there's white, and grey will never be right. But this grey is my sin escalating to a whole new level, I can't leave this man alone………for I am his cruel devil.

Dear Donald Trump You don’t know me but I sadly know you Your face has been plastered on tv screens and newspapers for so long And your words have cut into my soul like a knife Twisting each time you spew your venom Never in my life have I been more scared of a man until now I am now forced to be more aware of my surroundings because your supporters are hidden in crowds waiting… Despite all your crushing charades I have never been more proud to be the minority Because for the first time I see my communities standing together Seeing my family work hour on hour only proves you’re a fraud Cause unlike you I spit the truth not lies I preserve differences you block them I strive to build peace between nations while you rather build a wall to separate it News flash, us Hispanics don’t want to be in any country you’re running We aren’t these lazy or uneducated ganstas you make us out to be Us Hispanics are your backbone Were the ones building the skyscrapers you got with your “small loan” We’re the ones that make you look good to your “followers” because we’re your foundation I mean let’s be honest Without us you’d be nothing The only reason you’d be recognized is because you bought a role on home alone 2 And by some weird chance of faith you’ve managed to stay in this twisted race You’ve managed to scare us straight And with some hesitation I say you’ve actually helped us We are now united and stronger than ever Because you’ve open our eyes to the fact that we must fight So as I close my letter want to thank you Because of you my family has finally registered to vote Because of you our determination grows stronger So excuse me if my poem causes you frustration But I thought you deserved some type of credit

with moonlight, he travels mostly at night, past snoring hikers and embers of fires that cooked their food, kept darkness at bay, and heard what they had to say if the coals could only speak, perhaps he would find the right circle of stones, a black heap of carbon that once glowed red and gold, and her tale would be told at least he would know the last words she spoke in this wilderness--whether she chose to vanish into the deep wood, fodder for the scavengers or was the prey of evil men, who lurk at every turn--in bustling city and quiet forest as well--vipers who strike without warning, without curse or cause when the moon's light wanes, he moves yet in darkness, feeling his way, a nocturnal detective, hoping to find what the others have given up for lost and registered among the dead: sign or scent of her--black coals or white bones, a piece of tattered clothing, the canvas backpack with her name, the hiking boots he laced for her which left tracks he forever yearns to find...

a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs my woman, she's a snuggler and spooner. burying herself on my, no, in my double barreled chest, her blonde hair, my field of gold.^ she landscapes my life, paralyzing me with the simplest of gestures. she sleeps holding my thumbs. locks me up. locks me down. so I cannot transcribe the lines of poetry mindful, landlines shut, land-mines of verse unexploded, till these now, hours later. a few notes ago, a few days ago, heard an octet, eight voices singing of five letters, five vowels, a  e  i  o  u. you can hear what I heard too. after you listen, better understand vowels are the butter of language. the anointing oil of connectivity. more than a line of code, they are the keys to the code, that make words and life musical. I suppose we could mange without them if we had to. spsz v cd mng wthot thm ff v hd t. but not so well. I suppose we could manage without opposing thumbs. learn to type with my nose, paint with my toes. but not so well. here is how it comes all together. a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs, never give them more than a never thought, passing over, assumed. oh yeah, on some tv show, you can buy a vowel. these glues are the things that give me the chance to tell this: this poem it is a bit about me. this poem it is a bit about her. this poem is really about you. I could live without a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs. but I could not live without her landscaping my chest. but when I share this knowledge with you friend, it becomes a verified, realized, acknowledged truth. So you see this poem is about a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs, but really about you. In fact, I am thinking, that if I did not love the title a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs so much, would entitle it instead, a wholesome democracy of love. you, a registered voter, vote then with both all the a  e  i  o  u  and opposing thumbs at your disposal.

The Picture Window The vista view never changes but daily. The naked eye, registers the same distances, resting objects unmoved, modest alterations by wind and water are noted, but for intent, for purpose, the watercolor one would paint be invariably unvarying as a Swiss Alp. The  subtle nuanced worldview, where the sky stretches from ceiling to a foot above ground, as I lay prone neath the coverlet, vista always subtly differing, from its prior reincarnation, self-reflection demands to know. Alive & Awake? Yes. Breathing steady? Yes. Toes? Still can wiggly to & fro. My soul? Presumably ok, as I write, because I write, the picture window into to my insight, though oft blurry, yet intact, making discernible the changes in light, temperature  and heart rate, as the body/soul contraption modulates, just as the gradient of daylight shifts lighter and higher, with a rising sun bringing more clarity to our interactive encounters with our environments.. The picture window internalized, much the same,as the vista, subtle modest changes, colorations variegated, are registered. Today is mostly cloudy overcast, and shall remain so for the foreseeable future, which be about two days hence. Not unsurprisingly, methinks, the future tends to be cloudy. Beyond that peripheral, no one can say, our macular envisioning only gets weaker,time is a tough taskmaster and uncertainty is it’s own principle. But I can say, forecast from well under the comforter, that more than less, where less is more, this picture window, ex and in, shall remain, unchanged for the remainder of my years that fortune shall provide, and will & would grant me awakenings to the ex-sight and in-sight of a sculpted landscape, of negative entropy,  where disorder minimal. My musings end here, unless you still wish, come the morrow, what the marrow the day reveals, what the window will spill, new and exciting, subtly unchanged, and always different. Caution: The injection of caffeine may dramatically alter the windows perspective, as the exogenous always trumps the endogenous. 5:50 AM P.S. Making coffee clarifies: If the vista in +/- unchanging, then, all my personal, own horizons are immortal as well.

On a lonely night when my moon refused to show her face, even after pleading till my heart broke, in to pieces of gold and diamonds, dedicated to her all covered with love dripping like drops of blood, darkness forced me to confess the love crimes I never did commit I thought it will set everything right but in vein.... Wolves howled with a mad glee to make me nervous thinking that you'll be frightened, the owl, in silence pretended to be all knowing but not a wee bit about the gravity of our love registered in his mind, hooted again and again "She doesn't love you" in a  voice reeking vengeance. My love, I never thought of a cup hemlock, a bodkin or a flight to darkness from the hill, we used to sit heart beating against heart when           you                   gave                              me the portion of your love for the first time from your trembling lips.................... I am enscorned in you you are in my veins immortal I am I'll meet you in your abode, even if you fail to keep your word and don't turn up in our rendezvous. the jasmine bush, whose fragrant buds just bloomed took me in her ***** and wrapped me with her scent of love, what a solace! "Your love is immortal never grieve, your true love, never would perish, it would stand the tests, however tough she is always yours, you are hers in this life and lives to come" I slept like kid under the jasmine bush like a kid in his mother's bed she covered me with her tears of falling flowers, till dawn appeared, at last I saw my beloved in my dreams.

In the moments of separation, love shines like a diamond
On a lonely night when my moon refused to show her face, even after pleading till my heart broke, in to pieces of gold and diamonds, dedicated to her all covered with love dripping like drops of blood, darkness forced me to confess the love crimes I never did commit I thought it will set everything right but in vein.... Wolves howled with a mad glee to make me nervous thinking that you'll be frightened, the owl, in silence pretended to be all knowing but not a wee bit about the gravity of our love registered in his mind, hooted again and again "She doesn't love you" in a  voice reeking vengeance. My love, I never thought of a cup hemlock, a bodkin or a flight to darkness from the hill, we used to sit heart beating against heart when           you                   gave                              me the portion of your love for the first time from your trembling lips.................... I am enscorned in you you are in my veins immortal I am I'll meet you in your abode, even if you fail to keep your word and don't turn up in our rendezvous. the jasmine bush, whose fragrant buds just bloomed took me in her ***** and wrapped me with her scent of love, what a solace!

A touch of Synthetic Blue drips down our tear battered frames before it catches on a match made in hell Becomes an oily twisting saffron cold flame Redefines love as a pact to collectively fall apart Redefines hate as a pop cultural norm As it smolders strife imitates art Another massacre Another overdose Another malignant mass media circus and maybe now you understand inevitability Synthetic Blue is a registered trademark of White Spider Pharmaceuticals, a division of the White Spider Corporation, and is used without permission.

Dystopia NOW! (Synthetic Blue)
For the past two hours this Mac has hypnotised my gaze to its white screen and every website has sentries at the door - Username ? Password ? Already registered ? Login When did we become so chary one of another ? Were folks so paranoid in the pre- digital age when existence had not been magicked into noughts and ones in Silicon Valley? It did not seem so.

We Are All Marvin Now
'Dockery was junior to you, Wasn't he?' said the Dean. 'His son's here now.' Death-suited, visitant, I nod. 'And do You keep in touch with-' Or remember how Black-gowned, unbreakfasted, and still half-tight We used to stand before that desk, to give 'Our version' of 'these incidents last night'? I try the door of where I used to live: Locked. The lawn spreads dazzlingly wide. A known bell chimes. I catch my train, ignored. Canal and clouds and colleges subside Slowly from view. But Dockery, good Lord, Anyone up today must have been born In '43, when I was twenty-one. If he was younger, did he get this son At nineteen, twenty? Was he that withdrawn High-collared public-schoolboy, sharing rooms With Cartwright who was killed? Well, it just shows How much . . . How little . . . Yawning, I suppose I fell asleep, waking at the fumes And furnace-glares of Sheffield, where I changed, And ate an awful pie, and walked along The platform to its end to see the ranged Joining and parting lines reflect a strong Unhindered moon. To have no son, no wife, No house or land still seemed quite natural. Only a numbness registered the shock Of finding out how much had gone of life, How widely from the others. Dockery, now: Only nineteen, he must have taken stock Of what he wanted, and been capable Of . . . No, that's not the difference: rather, how Convinced he was he should be added to! Why did he think adding meant increase? To me it was dilution. Where do these Innate assumptions come from? Not from what We think truest, or most want to do: Those warp tight-shut, like doors. They're more a style Our lives bring with them: habit for a while, Suddenly they harden into all we've got And how we got it; looked back on, they rear Like sand-clouds, thick and close, embodying For Dockery a son, for me nothing, Nothing with all a son's harsh patronage. Life is first boredom, then fear. Whether or not we use it, it goes, And leaves what something hidden from us chose, And age, and then the only end of age.

Stone slabs descended down, forming a staircase straight to hell. A sea of screaming miasma suffocated either side of the winding venture. The light of the world above no longer registered as darkness swallowed this place. It seemed that whether forward or back, this road was infinite. Finally, after endless time, the monument of this suffering came into view. The blackest Obsidian rose beyond comprehension and without feature. Voices wailed and tension bloomed in ominous agony. And as it called out, a liquid wave of familiarity poured in and around me. The door, once unmarked, split down the seam as I came within the final stretch. Understanding drowned my mind, as I pressed my palm against its surface. Instantly, with a deafening boom, it swung open on ethereal hinges. Walking through, in bewildering clarity, what was one became two.

Forever honored by the Tree
Men clad cleanly, polished boots and bowler hats, Women wearing short skirts or long dress, Boys no longer boys deny their old, With rock and rap, skate shoes; how bold! Indifferently they carry on, I am you, and you are him, She is fat and she is slim, Registered in heads dead depth, As we pretend to see no man who chokes on crystal **** Like the jaded sidewalkers, Who cram these city streets; A glance is but acknowledgment, As all shuffle in quick feet. To say the least, we will pay none, To those who are not us; To say the least, we think we've won, Ignore the drunk mans fuss. Like the jaded sidewalkers, Who view in black-and-white; No middle-ground perceives a frown, As they sleep amid streetlights. The morning rush and nightly blitz, As people scurry too, Destinations, dealing smiles; Self-help books to start anew. As talk through text, online, or phone, Dominates the daze, Indifferently, ignore eachother, "Nothing need be said inside this maze." The CEO, he acts as King, With peasants treated well; Their brains blunted to buried states, "He's bad; but he'll get his due in hell." Everyday they rise early, To catch the mornings speed; "I do this by the clock because, A life, so rich, I'll lead." "Conforming kills the mindless soul, To fight off human urge;" You're free, yet unaware of this, So conforming, you won't purge. Like the jaded sidewalkers, Who, like zombies, follow sway, A human hand on island sand, 'I saw him not,' or so I say.

you will forget the colour of my eyes and the way i turn to the back door instinctively, when i hear the click and how, unlike you all, i do not yell across the cubicles the way i crushed boxes for two hours, then and how i cry, too easily the six pack of strawberry milk (fresh from the fridge) that only i drank the smell of fish and chips that wafted through the office and- -you will forget my love, my loyalty, and soon enough, you will forget me. i don't want to forget. "don't want to?" no. i can't. i cannot forget the christmas decorations that must be down by now or the perpetually-unmanned front or stale, recycled, air-conditioned oxygen that tasted like bliss and lemon stained fish and chips, and salad that came out of a tub, and scalding heat against my palm and tears. i cannot forget the way she laughs like an orchestra of the wind beneath the branches or the way you shook my hand and made me feel like i belonged and how you, you, my love, you are bothering to go to the trouble of sending me registered mail so it doesn't get lost the way i do, in her eyes i cannot forget how you are different. special and how you refuse to take selfies that are glamorous because you have a sense of fun and the first time you ever saw me, drenched dedicated, yearning, and already in irrevocable love. i cannot forget the strike i scored with my eyes on a screen instead of a lane and the cookies, the vouchers, the games the screwdrivers, shoes, and sushi i cannot forget the goodbyes i never said in case i never say them, the next time i can that once upon a time- i belonged. i cannot forget beauty and goodness and strength and laughter and belonging and teasing and acceptance and loyalty and experience and diversity and determination and passion and teamwork and friendship and family and love. i cannot forget. because you will. you know what they say if nobody remembers something any longer did it really exist? when i was young and foolish i thought that was so ridiculous because it's happened- so it must exist mustn't it? and now i see why the philosophers say what they do and why people doubt. i am so afraid to forget because if i can, then others can (and will), as well. but as long as i remember (even if it fades from the collective remembrance) then it will always exist even if only in the land of memories and dreams upon our dreams where we can never set foot upon again.
