Thought Spill – 2

Father time
Mother Nature
Walk in tandem
And then not
Womanly is she
Rags changing
Green to white
Browns to orange
Mood imbued
Their offspring
Rooted or not
Traipse often
Baulking
Accepting
Meditating
Perishing
Returning
Reinvented
Emerging thru’
Revolving door
Eternally
Cyclically
Allied to
Father time
Mother Nature
Nurturing

Thought Spill – 1

Spilling thoughts

Boiling water

On burner

Steaming cup

Scalded cheek

Tongue bitten

Stiff fingers

Wistful eyeful

Grey locks

Nature’s graffiti

Hair confetti

Relentless march

Time unforgiving

Spirit unwilling

Body bowing

Jerking upright

Vainly walking

In tandem

wayward

Spirit-eternal

Sunshine

Inside out

Spilling

thoughtfully

Flight

An obscure landscape

Nondescript place

Extraordinary sight

Flightless bird in flight

Icarus on the waterway

Fish flying on airway

Piranha regurgitating bits

Bits coming together

Forming joey rabbits

Stars stretching arms

Gently touching petals

Petals pecking starry cheeks

Sun, moon gliding hand in hand

Day and night getting out of hand

Topsy turvy world sleeping waking

Seated on a dinosaur back

Magic wand my hand waving

When a 3D reptile converged

Recoiling I jumped, fell

Thud woke me, pell mell

A fanciful dream, I could tell

Painful back

Out of shape gait

Was my fate

Parody of a Wake

Unexpected storm in teacup expanded

Formed concentric circles in sky banded

Commotion set in motion, mood matching

Strife in home, virulent contagion catching

Repercussions rippled refracted inside

Cracking open sinewy blood ties, untying

Pristine relationships hitherto, now sullying

Emotional tsunami breaking free, hurtling   

Caught unawares at the edge

Absorbing, backed into hedge

Hedge caved hurtling beyond

Ripples, into the black vortex

Malevolent clam eye shucked

Into the dark funnel, plucked

Concentric ripples, chuckled

Stubborn spirit did not buckle

Came to in room of cadavers load

Frosty room, human hors d’oeuvres

My hardy stock demurred, quite averse

To them join, soul went into limpet mode

Family located, rushed, identified cried

Few wondering about will, else implied

Sifting chaff from grain, I thus separated

Biding time before getting self resurrected

Wake, gala affair with my money, nothing lacked

Kin sobbed, rejoiced as thought of fortune jingled

Eulogies, some genuine, crass many, few singled, with

Embalmer’s pact, kept body intact, I made a comeback  

Genuine ties were joyous, wonder struck

The perfidious were mad, thunder struck

Funeral director, rubbed hands, cluck clucked

Chortling, I stepped into my limo and left
