Divorced Reality

"Perchance some kindlier ark may come wit...
Image via Wikipedia

if I could just shut my eyes tight
escape the world for a while I might
me and my divorced reality
enhanced by enfeebled diminished mortality

must come to terms with this news
having played my cards I accept and lose
surrender asunder to all those events
over whom i have no power to peruse

take a gun and shoot me in the head
watch me twitch until I am dead
perhaps that would gladden those estranged
historical affection now much deranged

melancholy I must reminiscence I will
to sleep perchance one more pop a pill

The Lover: A Poem


The Lover

Your emerald eyes,

Like dewdrops glistening on green grass.

The shine in them,

Is like the twinkling of the stars.

You’re ivory skin,

Reminds me of the moonlight.

Like a gorgeous lily

Colored in silvery white.

Your sunkissed hair,

Blowing gently in the breeze.

I do not look long,

My breath may freeze.

You’re sideways glance,

As sharp as a knife.

Like a Greek goddess or a marble sculpture,

Brought to life.

Your poise, your grace,

Guides my moving pen.

Your beauty brings out,

The poet within.

The tinkle of your soft voice remains in my ears,

Long after you are long gone.

Your memory drives me crazy,

Makes me want to break out in a song.

 

 

Alas, my dear

I am in love with your beauty

But not with you.

This sounds like an obsession,

For this love is not true.

I am a passionate man,

With much passion to spare.

As soon as you leave my thoughts,

Someone else is already there.

Getting on your nerves

This is too much, and that was out of line,

Some people get on your nerves

Like a LoL cat playing with twine

 

Manipulating perception, you say is okay

Disregarding your intelligence is not

Relentless selling crapola in turf wars fiercely fought.

 

Brave new world has all kinds of fair game

The world was always a stage

But with so many actors things wont remain the same

 

Enhanced volatility Higher risks greater rewards

Loud is the applause when you make the keynote

Louder will the boos when proud men fall.

 

Lions hunt better but hyenas feed better

because hyenas are better team players you see

Bearing agony of uncertainty, to succeed is ecstasy

 

Relax Rewind Recalibrate and Pause

Total up your material gains

Ignore your conscience costs

 

Snap and turn, go back to your comfort zone

Stories sell better

Poetry is a drone

 

Normal is Boring

Normal is Boring

We must all innovate

If we cant create something new

Rewind, Rechurn , Regurgitate

 

Spawn some spin

Jingle some buzz and hype

We fight with the weapons the Lord gave us

Our fingers rapidly type

 

Till we move to read to scavenge

Pluck once more some idea from obscurity

Can not beat them so join them

Cajole our creative insecurity

 

We do influence swaps

Trade favor in a game

The more things we say have changed

The harder we try to make sure they remain the same

 

Normal is boring yet undeniable

Bell Shaped curve pretty reliable

Pause and think breathe and blink

Gasp and swallow the daily load to drink

 

Mundane and boring

Reminiscently storing

Differentiating for the sake of

Creating a better mouse trap someday

Today we innovate Tomorrow we fade away

Preparing for the Game

My eyes are dry But my palms are wet

Dampened now By the cold cold sweat

My temples throb Lips start to twitch

Just stay cool I chant the cliche

 

Fear takes hold  My ears ring with buzzing sound

Legs start to shake But I manage to hold my ground

For as I enter This colossal game

I reflect after this Nothing will remain the same

 

On the day of reckoning Men shine apart from the boys

And from the manifold sorrows Seize their respective joys

 

Where I will end up I pause to think While my eyes stare empty Forgotten to blink
I may win I may lose a few important still is to enjoy it too
the playing of the game between me and you

Apres la nuit

Devil idle

 

lying on a bed or a couch half awake
half sleepy from last nights celebration
thinking in slow motion unsteadily
maybe i am getting too old for inebriation

still yesterday was a great day
we fought and celebrated a glorious win after long
hard work coupled with some luck
always leaves you humming a sweet song

i check my mails idly surf my social net
the net is quiet this morning
as if it too celebrated a lot last night
but check on it , it will be partying by evening

now tasks have to be done
daily chores yet to be begun
so we shake off the idleness like a shaggy dog who got wet
prepare to carpe diem ready get set

still an idle shrug and an occasional yawn
reminds aging bones to rest before dawn

 

 

Delay Deny Obfuscate

delay deny obfuscate
remember all the promises you break
and all the love you fake
aint no piece of cake

even though the oaths you take
became lines in sand that you stake
cleaning the leaves of time you rake
much depends on the choices you make

going on anon till this rhythm i must break
sometimes you know when it is too much to take
mourning now in your personal life’s wake
you earned this trip to the melancholy lake

how much more how long till you break
down and confess your appearances are fake
you never anyone except your ego to partake
on your thirst for glory to slake

delay deny obfuscate
delude spin and permeate
love is good and addictive but so is hate
much depends on what all you rate

fear uncertainty doubt and cloud
are your companions most profound
is it just today or were

you always this loud
