Explore the options –
Do you contain the guilt?
Or reveal your hand and
destroy the trust you’ve built.

It’s the sketchiness in the middle
that sits blurred and almost forgotten,
for the brain can only register times
stupendous or thoroughly rotten.

Do not the most
crowded moments
of our life,
find us in isolation?

Ill thought out plans
by menace’s
controlling our universe.
Instantaneous judgments
by lunatics
making matters worse.

In a world where wisdom
came, alas, too late,
leaving blatant mistakes
theirs alone to contemplate.
And when lost leaders,
were never worth the wait,
and last minute changes,
only came to grate.
And when given the chance,
the opportunity wasn’t hatched,
as too much self bravado,
greedily, ego snatched.
With no Plan B in place
in case disaster struck,
in the end it all came down
to purely gamblers luck.
The dice were so unkind
and yes, also unfair.
In the game of self promotion-
you get nothing for a pair.
And now the journey over,
and so futile though it seems,
for at the time, the madness,
caused blindness in extreme.
Most onlookers departed,
each shaking a doubting head,
in united disagreement,
and then, in silence fled.
And in the end, exhilarated,
the devil took control,
as his victims lay defeated
and agony took it’s toll.

Penetration
Incubation
Realisation
Manifestation
Devastation.
What man when tempted
by a vamp,
who with blatant intentions
enters his camp,
can resist her wiles
and tricks of her trade,
sophisticatedly hidden
behind some masquerade.
What man when helpless,
yet, powerless to act,
doesn’t a scenario,
in his head, re-enact.
What woman indoors
with her watering can,
doesn’t cold water pour,
on his fantasy plan.

Take a cupful of beaurocracy
Add to it red tape by the mile
Stir well until entangled
And sky high the work will pile.
Growing pains
Pudding stains
Country lanes
Weather vanes
Landscaped plains
Bamboo canes
Rotting grains
Stinking drains
Haggled brains
Earthly strains
Human remains
Hardship reigns.

In the street of serendipity
lie discarded apple cores.
Environmentally friendly?
Not according to the roars!
