"repute" poems
It was like the room was mute After our boundary dispute You are a person of repute Taking over my pursuit I wish you'd not commute but everything is so quiet

Quiet
If you think that I will wait in the shadows keeping my head down my organs, my time at your disposal You are blind In the worst kind of way I have been the trick up the sleeve of dishonest players enough to know that darkness well penetrating only the physical powerless against the invisible I refuse to be kept as a secret, a guilty pleasure no more will you take me behind closed doors pretending not to be intoxicated in front of your friends You will never see me on my knees for your sins Your sinister sermon no longer whispers in my ear And the weight of your demons Has lifted from my shoulder The mistress of your cruelty no more, The empire we ruled The castle we shared All ruins now Tales of our torrid love affair will be greatly misremembered You, wearing my crown And I, wearing your ill repute.

Old Wives Tale
I like slandering your makeshift forceps. I hammer you down with watery *** and then spill the remainder on the couch. Yarg! A diamond’s worth at least a small intestine, and you are worth whatever’s left over after night has upended itself, poured sideways out of its shellacked crawlspace, and turned the basement sour. There are remnants of you in the park, some red stain by the baseball field where, if you’ll remember, you watched little leaguers build teamwork, and faint splotches on tree bark from your lactations which, if you’ll remember, happened every morning. I whisper your godforsaken name and am slapped in the head. The children cry when I smile. I cry when the children smile. Good heavens. I forbid you from not entering my corridor, even as I set up a barricade. I like my water scalding, my passion chilled, and I like you in easy-to- swallow doses. I like you in my eggs. Ditto the faucet, keyboard, the occasional lily, but do not mess with my pearls. I mumble of apodictic meadows while I sleep. What can I say? I do not mumble of unclogging your bathtub, which has a certain foul repute, and has grown heavy and ugly with your hair, which is everywhere, just as you are everywhere, and wherever, and so ********* hidden it’s not funny anymore, we stopped looking some millennia ago, after scouring the drainpipes, kicking down your doors, dissecting your mattress, speculating about your burial site, etcetera, and even so we have not been really looking all this time, have we, just blaring your name through the speakers, putting wrong numbers on our calling cards, leaving uncooked meat out on the back porch as if you were a raccoon, oh, or a lion, which you are not, or not quite, though, as the books say, you have honey in your stomach, and if you could but be ripped open we would taste and see.

Sleep-deprived Birdcall (in the year in which the weather cancelled the subcommittee on the weather)

Panic's jewel... Or, is that pride? Poor relenting, to you... The question of irony on your side? Places and things, together With a real appetite for life's regency So, sophisticated, the liberty of kind to bother An open air, of a wish that found deception's history...? My undone mercy, my marveling hope Is with a ghost of a chance, the truth In a guarded fist, to promise a shared cope? If any pout of lore, is a wish that sought your youth... I will follow... Despairing consciences, with a blinking stare at honor That defies home for one thing only, that is to harrow... The dread in a tear, found for a salt that told a story: Once upon a time, and the tenderness of couth To wake upon a simple bed, the taste of harmony in league With itself, the role of unity and vice, come the riches of who Is a part defined, and who is a smarter focus divine, of each? Which will the tows of remorse... Work as we said, they have the skill's of duress to laud And heraldry of a looming proportion, to understand the worse The life of another lords prophet, the can and the callous odd... Here is such, the lies or levity we fate With a rekindled fire, for what is a stranger look, of desperation Sincerity or since charity is a fool for itself, the world of sate Is a kindness only a lover could afford, the very gift of intimation? Tomorrow? And the ides of heathen politeness, are here To simply move forward and borrow The truth in an order and repute, that has oneself to bless, with another's fear...?

Imprisoned by will enslaved by a notion I ripped my heart out and let it sail in the ocean. Disillusioned by segregation a victim of seclusion let my heart find another and savor the taste of fusion. Caressed by echoes and the sounds of the gone let the hearts strike a common note and sing their own song. Driven by purpose fueled with youth let my heart serve the time let it live to its repute. Distracted by the world Soothed by deceit Let my heart overcome the bitter thorns of defeat Drenched in colors of present showered in shades of yesterday Let my heart disregard time and live tomorrow in a better way. Worn out by the distance overcome by remorse let my heart return only to find burned doors.

Corina Junghiatu awarded by Motivational Strips and Gujarat Sahitya Akademy.
Then dark with dripping blood it gave a howl and cried again: 'Our damaged branches ache! Your pillage maims me! Can't you feel at all? We who were men are now this barren brake. You'd grant us your respect and stay your hand were we a thicket not of souls but snakes.' As wood still green starts burning at one end and from its unlit end the burning stick drips sap, and hisses with escaping wind, so from the broken stump there oozed a mix of words and blood: a frothy babbling gore. I dropped the branch. My fear had made me sick. 'Poor wounded soul, could he have grasped before,' my sage replied, 'what now he sees is true, and blindly trusted in poetic lore, then he need not have so insulted you. But as there was no other way to learn I urged him to a test that grieved me too. Tell us who you were, that he, in turn, can set your honor freshly back in style among those he will teach when he returns.' The trunk: 'Your speech, by raising hope that I'll regain repute, makes words arise in me. I mean to talk, if you will stay a while: I was the one entrusted with the keys to Federigo's mind, and it was sweet to share his thought and guard his strategy for noble ventures secret in my keep — so faithfully I filled this glorious post, I gladly sacrificed my health and sleep...'

The Thorn Forest
Once upon a time, there was me: A simpleton of no account, A dunderhead by word of mouth, An addle-pate, a cracking crock, A crazy who deserved a lock. Not pretty, brainy, or well-bred, Bespectacled, a short redhead With hands too small and far too pink Who’d trip or fall as soon as think. Not many prospects, they declared With such conviction I was scared. But the cast was short one role, The one who’d make the halfwit whole . . . Once upon a time, there was you: A lord of state, of high esteem, The answer to each maiden’s dream, A strong man, raven-haired, and tall? No, not this person, not at all. You had glasses just like me, And freckles where your skin should be. Your clothes were rumpled, torn and tattered Not as though that even mattered: You walked on set and came to me You got down on one gawky knee You took my pink hand in your red And, as you fixed your glasses, said: “I love your hands, your height, your hair, I love you up, down, everywhere. And I hesitate to ask you this . . . But could I maybe have a kiss?” And, for once, my tactless lips Did not resort to stumbling slips; I gave you one, I gave you two, I gave every kiss I had to you. Once upon a time, there was us: Two simpletons of no repute Two dunderheads whose names were moot: Prince Not-So-Charming and his ***** And much as cynics tried to drench The flames of addle-pated glee I found in you and you in me, As much as they enjoyed pretending, They could not harm our happy ending.

Admired
*Tears as brittle As glass cascade lazily down Her rosy cheeks leaving behind Indelible outstanding imprints They reveal  a brokenness A vulnerability  that’s so Sweet and scary almost In equal measure Her eyes know not the Splendor of a radiant sparkle They downcast and a Shade darker than normal Naivety meekness and innocence Jostle unabated within her eyes bounds But seldom if never Do her fears see the light of day Her eyes speak a dialect That would mind boggle linguists Of reasonable repute And render them obsolete She undoubtedly a goddess Of pure emotion and acute sensitivity*

Ice princess.
These ides have kept me thus far Sustained, am I, eternal By their food of self-sacrifice The jester’s tasty wine Imbibing insults wrought by fool’ry Again, reciting the dirge for pride But the ides have kept me thus far. Despite the ru’nation Hoist! Ye ru’nous hands My repute in mortification A fool by their and my demands I see my shame, long shadow cast In light of sobriety Ignominy and truth of me Divorc’d n’er they be Still taste of cheap liquors, distilled society But the ides have kept me thus far. Full knowledge, have I The disservice I do Only time will heal the wound To shy away, acceptance is A lovely balm on par My image in tatters, though brazen I be The ides have kept me thus far Let them laugh, for I know they do Not to me, but within and among I am your entertainment The source of all your jeers My life, a blund’ring show I am an actor, my blight for years A part to play, it’s pleasing though To thrive upon your mocking and time Comforting knowledge, that A fixture, am I, your Thalia The ides have kept me thus far Erected austerity, enigmatic walls Fortifications around me Charged to keep the chaos in My heart, it truly calls I am not so noble As the sun will attest Know me as the ascetic, See the shrieking eccentric, Know me as the philosopher See my wit pathetic, Know what is outside is purely for show See that is internalized, is So ********* antithetic Each and every time I hide my face in shame My pride and my name, my actions did thus mar But I will heal, I always do The ides have kept me thus far This is my mantra, an empty cadence A mist to latch on to With every refrain of wretched debauchery Each weekend played anew Though I stay to bear the howl Of my dissonant, ugly hymn I listen to the hardened ones Their failures but a din I wish to change the thing I am At least to those who know I’ve heaved the chance to the icy mar Onto the cracking floe I feel the daggers of humiliation Plucking at each stitch I’ll just smile as though I like it For in effect I do But it’s becoming unbearable The walls beginning to bow Imperceptible, if my resolve she lasts Though this is nothing new But I’ll just grin and carry on, for The ides have kept me hitherto.

Do you learn, how do you earn, if you did not burn what you do into gray matter memory.

SONNET TRIBUTE BIRTHDAY: LAURA WELSH COOK
~one more for Joel~ The “valuations” methodology taught me forty plus years ago, now rendered valueless, and yet, the devils remind in humongous whispers, confuse not price (or reads) with value! To a man I never met, and now, will not yet on this Earth, this process, to estimate, what a man’s worthy words are but worth exactly, how much??? It matters greatly, for one has come to realize these scattering of poems will be my repute, my legate in reverse, to see me forward, you will need to see me in reverse.

What Price Friendship? (need to see me in reverse)
That pen was not just another pen like, Was close to his heart soothing moonlike. He bought that pen after paying huge cost, That was one reason he liked that most. For sbowing status for showing the fame, What he had achieved   position and name. Pen was a symbol for flaunting repute, That he was on top this no one dispute. It reminds him also reminds the all, He reached at the top after many so fall. But one day in office that pride was lost. It was that pen that he liked the most. He doubted in office workers and staff, At times in office abruptly he laugh. He had suspicion on ally and friend. Driver & sweeper too themselves to fend. One day in office clerk found  that pen. Was hidden in file and   lying since then. He wished to say sorry and  admit the guilt. His ego but came in his way as a hilt. Ajay Amitabh Suman: All Rights Reserved

Do not Suppress, what wish to express
I saw an old man walking by the side of the lake , he turned and whispered somethings not right ? I walk among the creatures of night , with the moon as my shelter the stars as my light I do not walk this earth anymore somethings not right , I am a ghost of many a year gone bye , stalked by women and children that cry , stuck in a cell were no light is seen , and the god I worship cast me down like a feind , I lived a life full of Ill repute , shellfish untold before now , there was no applause to my life no fairwell crowd , a lonley man stood at my grave , Lamentations and verse about this fallen brave , but I am not , nor never I find a bit of bravery a bit peice of mind , life is cruel rotten unjust to carry on is the question of must ? For who I am you lips should say this old man who's lost his day ? am no stranger for I am you , telling the tale of what life has for you . Change you'r ways or never youl find that bit of bravery that bit peice of mind .

Today I met... A man with sea blue eyes shining from fiery hair I said "you should be a pirate" Then Effie piped "Let's turn this bus into a ship" He mined for gold in Australia Working 12 hour days and nights Visiting home he found bad repute In Coromandal's strong anti-mining activism. He complained about the packaging Of the tourist L&P; ice-cream he'd bought "It should all be cardboard and wooden spoons" The miner turned environmentalist? Did the activists hear him out? Behind him, A man with eyes enclosed in triangle parentheses, A tattoo of reminder. - Reminder that being locked up is a waste of time, of life. - Realization that being in that crowd caused trouble. Drugs ain't the thing. And - Regret. It caused him to care for young minds, to teach what he had learnt. "I was only in there for drink driving" but for two years?

A bus journey
Today I met... A man with sea blue eyes shining from fiery hair I said "you should be a pirate" Then Effie piped "Let's turn this bus into a ship" He mined for gold in Australia Working 12 hour days and nights Visiting home he found bad repute In Coromandal's strong anti-mining activism. He complained about the packaging Of the tourist L&P; ice-cream he'd bought "It should all be cardboard and wooden spoons" The miner turned environmentalist? Did the activists hear him out? Behind him, A man with eyes enclosed in triangle parentheses, A tattoo of reminder. - Reminder that being locked up is a waste of time, of life. - Realization that being in that crowd caused trouble. Drugs ain't the thing. And - Regret. It caused him to care for young minds, to teach what he had learnt. "I was only in there for drink driving" but for two years? He left at Paeroa College, "take care", Not hearing our "thank you for sharing" At our transfer we serenaded In happy gratitude and spontaneity The pirate watched, intrigued. The drivers; our faithful who had driven us so far And our newly acquainted about to shuttle us forth; They watched 'Til ye old faithful lost faith and went on with his duty A boy stepped off the bus Listening shyly, hiding. My bow slipped over out-of-tune strings Effie's voice rang true, feeling and joy, Hand strumming, familiar and fond. A mess of black hair from Colorado Complained "there's too many guns" But was a gunsmith "For hunters...

*Water color painting of her mindscape visualized by an artist of repute and its map, though not drawn on a scale yet shows the topography and neighborhood, gives a concrete idea to plan the conquest. A route map to her heart, meticulously prepared marking all shortcuts and blockages of passages, that may lead to confusion and mix up is an essential tool now at hand A modern day marauder is just that he has no time for sentiments of a pusillanimous lover sentiments are bothersome,  portend troubles in store if logistics are right, plan is great, any peak will stoop, But yes, the moon they say plays havoc, love poems that knead the hearts, songs and music too, if comes between, the project may go bonkers the problem here is the reign of unpredictability when love starts its gallop and emotions the other horses just follow without rules  whatsoever, isn't it unwise trying to stop a dam breach? Not even the dam breach software be of any help here, no study is yet available on dissipating such passion, dynamics of love is an unknown country altogether no intelligence available is effective to move against it and make the conquest certainly possible.*

Perceptions on a potential conquest
I am Ether and it's hard luck these days with nobody making you famous There is a lead cloud pregnant with memories worse than burns raining like errant artillery I have to bite with my best teeth to rewind pleasure and fossilize painful reputations You put murderers tattoos on my social membrane by a diseased loop Obviously I run like a rabbit and backflip and rip in half the sky Anonymity boils Jarry shoots his ephemeral pistol outside the theatre at fictional Paris of your half dream these ghosts circle your nerves bleeding christmas sugar gasping kerosene charisma atop the peak of repute

Ode to Jarry
Ahhh poets of an age words and line so smooth keeping art the focus and rage with nothing left, too prove Wild and free beyond repute no cares for meanings now in vogue playing as piper, devout astute now and then, going pure rogue The rebels that we know and love not subscribing to rote or known hands that guide, in velvet gloves not what they hide, but shown Heed the call my friends and scribes remember why you're here as each and all imbibes the pains and scars inscribed with all the love and yet still all the fear

The father is the trunk standing tall and firm Showing conviction to the young, by his example they learn. His roots seek nourishment, he never stops to rest His family wants for nothing because he gives his best. He patiently endures, and meets all demands His strength is impressive, mighty and grand. The mother is the branches stretching her arms to hold her child Firm and flexible, strong and mild. Her leaves of protection give shelter from the rain That are the tears of rejection, injustice and pain. Her pearls of wisdom are like ripening fruit Sweetly teaching in her great repute This family tree gets taken for granted So many children grow up empty handed Even though at times they may all disagree There is nothing more essential than the family tree.

The Family Tree
They call me Jack! A Jack the Lad a man who likes to go out late. I must confess that I'm a cad and often seen in Aldegate. Whitechapel and Spittlefield are other locations I frequent. Tis where I often draw my yield and nay for that I'll not lament. Inspired by my ill repute, repugnant chanting of my name, I'll seek and find a ********** commencing to secure my fame. Reference books cannot advise what two skilled hands can show. Exacting cuts when I excise, instructing where my blade doth flow. My first, Miss Nichols, I recall, whom blinded by the lure of coin, into my clutches she did fall and she, I did indeed refine. Chapman then I did impress with incision so demanding. Nothing taken to excess an ***** now made outstanding. Stride and Eddowes in one night but fortune demanded I should race. Though well presented to the light, embarrassment is my disgrace. My final lady played the game, Miss Kelly whom at my insistence. She alone recoiled my fame, my very own Piece de Resistance.

Jack the Lad
Even the purest compassion Has its violent edges But only when it comes to you I wanna hug you, I wanna kiss you I wanna love you, I wanna **** you Get me off this wretched unmerry-go-round You reach out with caring gestures A smile and maybe a frown But you only care about yourself All the little things you did- So cheap, so unimaginary You put me in a den of vices- A house of ill repute And still I want to flash All my colors for you But you’ll never see them You see in shades of grey Which go to procreate My feeling blue, my red of rage Now there’s nothing left to say except Are you alive? Are you alive?
