Exodic Trends

back there, back then

where the wild life waits your children

we found different sights

just killing time

the humanized way

looking for excuses

to escape reality

into badder shades of wrong

even more beautiful

one may prefer fairytales

and as such I shall confabulate

 

ours is a true love story

the purest form of romance

the highest form of art

 

a wild ride of innocence

virtuous in loveliness

 

and even so familiar

Nova knows

Nova knows,

and I told her what you mean to me.

I'm already one step away from leaving,

one foot out the door.

 

I have a normal life. 

It took me 30 years. I rather say 40, but some don't like it.

Finally I live a normal life!

 

Turns out

there is a whole world

beyond Earth & Humanity :)

 

But even the cat can't come between me and you. And what we have and ...

Common Respiration

When A.I took over chess

I didn't know how to continue

and the search for joy & happiness

I found our loves ambiguous.

When tanked up engines eat the air

like caterpillar lyrics

and if only for the sake of game

we still deserve a life that's fair.

And to that end we still invent:

We fry the chips until their bitesize

signals fire off neutrons, fire of neurons,

Haven't We Punished Ourselves Enough?

I feel how much you're pushing it, and you're scared.

Don't worry. You are not alone. They got to me as well.

It took an enemy to break through this armor;

now I'm crying in the corridors. 

I won't leave you here alone by yourself.

a week of national love

From Kings Day to Liberation Day

we're not ashamed of who we are

as a nation and a people

we pride ourselves in what we are

and even with mistakes

and even with the best in us

we are weak for national love

Self-Abusive Robots: Sizzletron

I had a little talk with me-myself-and-I:

The Mirror-mirror exercise, and all such invocations.

Affirmatron, Egoïtron, and Dogmatron of course

the roboticks in psycholitic schizzle.

And then The Holy Trinitron, firmly cast aside

this schmizomatic megolith of self-inflicted curses

to somewhere-somewhere particles no longer associate

dissociation with disassociation.

Disculate

you'd burn my heart into video

it'd keep you spinning

frame-after-frame

 

and now I'm twisted:

the anomaly of perfectionated language

tossed around like frisbees

windshear precision & cookiecutter dough

 

something you'd like to dispute

a history of arguments and a little less innocence

 

but what is innocence...

 

Can you disculate me one more time?

A Special Place For Us

Here's a special place for us, where we can run and hide

A special talk for special folks 

who try to find what rhymes!

 

In this special place there is a lot of room for love

and spacious exploration to be free, to be enough.

 

Well-designed, not too confined 

we find ourselves at home.

To be okay, to be and stay,

and safe securely roam.

Picking up the pieces of this modern Earth

Picking up the pieces of this modern Earth,

maybe it is fine that I am just okay.

Everything is relative and relatives are not :)

but you would be my lover and we'd always stay this way!

 

Quatrains are my thing but one is not enough, alas!

And I won't pray the strain away nomore.

You could be my stalker, and I'm sure you're nonetheless

Poor spy, did they really tell you why?

Why you always have to lie

Do you have security

with a husband or a wife

will you find it without strife?

Unawoke

I unawoke today, quite harshly

The sweet melodies & lyrics came crashing down

for the first time, in a long long time.

 

I don't aspire anymore. You can be, the

Better Version of me. 

 

You can be me, all that I am. You can be me

all that I am.

 

Today I unawoke from my Dream,

yet tomorrow another Poem.

Community Video Call

Dear Write Out Loud bloggers,

 

fellow member Manish and I (Kevin), thought it be good to have a Video Call with the community.

I thought it be nice to get to know each other better. 

 

I kindly asked our friendly moderator Graham Sherwood for options. He kindly replied that we poets could organise this ourselves. And therefore I'm posting it now!

Alive Again

Once again I feel reborn!

That's just a coup d'état,

a lover in a spa.

 

O many mundane midnights

have I slept across these turfs

and finally it's crept up;

I'll rise the tide that surfs!

 

This sickly soul of Ether,

This madness of Mundane...

These Miracles of Mirrors,

And YOU shall be profane!

The Blessed Boredom

I live this life of gratitude,

it's high on virtue and on love,

but not the love from television;

NO, that is a false perversion. 

 

Many stray and strayed so far!

Sacrificed the good for naught...

There once was a General Pardon,

Craftsmanship

There's beauty in this story:

The fine line between heroin and heroine (often lost and erred by non-natives such as me)

signifies certain subtleties;

Once become aware, any human would immediately correct itself.

 

Why are we so afraid to change systems that we know are incorrect? 

 

Is it not our craftsmanship that has led us to this prosperous era?

Dear love(s),

 

in an attempt to be honest, I'm typing you this blog on Write Out Loud. 

I have spent half of my life processing trauma(s), while simultaneously creating new ones:

For me, myself and I. For you, yourself and you. 

 

I don't believe in humanity anymore. At least not in the way I used to.

It could be your happy laughter,

or the way you do your best:

how you flutter,

you're a mother.

When you write you're in 'estress'

 

In the winter when you came

and the seeds still kept their sight

 

Now the Spring is here and We are near

Like Daffodils, alright!?
