Hoping I Do Not Intend To Do So
If I was told by another,
Something I had not researched myself...
To declare as fact.
And I went ahead to whisper into the ears of others,
A rumor heard hoping my telling would keep intact...
I then become an accessory,
To unnecessary and unsolicited lip movement.
Open to be subjected to direct and vicious cussing.
IF...
I was told by another something I had not researched.
That's why if I am asked if I can keep a secret,
I immediately begin to laugh.
Because the one who has asked that question,
Is hoping I do not intend to do so.

Linen Hankerchief
Does anyone still make use of the linen handkerchief?
Does anyone still take the time to starch and iron,
Fold and press into triangle or square?
Many and varied the role of this flimsy accessory!
To dab one’s eyes, or nose; or after rain, I suppose –
To dab discreetly at one’s hair.
Then there’s the dapper suit with its lively pocket adornment;
A love token waved, or given away –
A Cinderella’s slipper found by a favoured gent.
Man and woman and child alike for reasons unbeknownst
May stash one on their person quite unbidden.
A lot of fuss over nothing much: this strangest piece of linen.

At a time everything was right, pure and clear (in answer to Ernst van Heerden)
At a time everything was right, pure and clear
on a perfect planet,
before daybreak brought forth Lucifer flaming
and now all earthly beings have forgotten it.
In Gethsemane the torches burnt bright
in the nightly visit of the officialdom
while Judas betrayed the Son of God
and received silver shekels for it.
At Nürnberg Hitler preached under flare light
of new living space for a super race,
under load applause and a whole nation become accessory
to misdeeds as if coming from the protoplasmic swamp
as if God is not the creator, does not contemplate
and do not fold His hand over human existence.
[Reference: Fireflies by Ernst van Heerden.]

Gavel's Grace
How can we talk of venturing space
when we haven't yet come to learn the ways of earth?
Why assume we're deserving of such stellar privileges?
How can we even think of leaving earth in
such a tumultuous state of man-made disarray?
This blame far out reaches anyone
these motions predate any present life
yet who amongst us hasn't stood
with smoking gun
with lose of innocence
comes a shedding of ignorance
any guilty party
is guilty by mere
association

Ellis
You are now like the desirable thing on these attributes of my love,
And like the accessory of a client's privilege;
But the pharmaceuticals could not solve my problem!
And, i am now predominated by a lavished coalition.
Testable!
With the realistic act on a consummated love;
For, you are now like the desirable thing on these attributes of my love.
A cute act of your muse was pre-aforementioned to me with your love!
But, i am like a domicile animal on this act;
However, i do have no disappointments! !
For, much silence is now needed on this case.
Ellis!
These impediments were limited to nature;
But, i am congrously moving along with the act of this love! !
However, you are now like the desirable thing on these attributes of my love.

Our Mutual Foolishness....
i know for sure what is the end of that line,
it is a point concealed
it rolls,
and stops at the edge
seemingly it is asking why it must stop at some time
and be
known as something else
what it is not
i have become an accessory
the point is for that moment hidden inside my palm
pretending as a mole
a mystery they all confess
during that
confusing hour
it could have been a dove of peace
a leaf on its beak

Monsoon at peak! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Monsoon at peak
I hear a monologue-
Rain speaks…
Monsoon at peak,
Thatched roofs
Leak…
Monsoon at peak,
Corn on cob
Wins over coffee…
Monsoon at peak,
Can I go out, mother?
A child pleads…
Monsoon at peak,
A boy steals a look
At a girl soaked to skin…

An Empty Jar
she finds it unthinkable that
at this hour
i am dislodging thoughts
emptying my mind
of all our memories,
i am backbreaking a heart
repairing a mindset,
i am a jar with a leak and
all my contents
are removed,
i am as light as a plastic
pail, and she can lift me
up without
exerting any force,
she can carry me anywhere and
fill me again
and i am practically under
her control and
mercy, this, is the one,
that she cannot accept,

Insecurity
Sometimes I sit here and think
That all this will disappear if I so much as blink
Maybe I'm paranoid; you know I think this is something we should avoid
But I know that neither of will be able to sleep annoyed
You let me slip into a sense of security
Let me believe this sense of insecurity will fade with maturity
But I still fear after all these years that you hold most power
And I'm just an accessory, a fragile little flower
So maybe yes, I do these little things to test you
Pushing my boundaries to discover something new
And I know you knew about my challenging past
Just another reason for me to believe you've found better at last
I know they tell me I shouldn't let my shadow haunt me
But I fear that if I let my shadow go I'll be vulnerable for them to see
And I won't let my memories repeat even if it leaves me alone
I won't take another's future just so I can call you my home

My little beautiful bird
The little beautiful bird
Of my heart, goes out and comes in
It flies like butterfly
One place to another flutter by
Over the parks and see the faces of lovers with glee
When it is over the slums it becomes very sorry
To see the people living without food and other accessory
It flies over the battle fields too
And see how one kills another and does all sorts of cruelty
It gives me mother of all insights at night
And tells all kinds of sweet and sour story
It lays eggs and hatched
A lot of themes for the world of poetry
It teaches me how to dream and how to make wishes
It teaches me how to imagine and how to make a sad face happy
