The Healing (Flu 4)

This harmony she hears
cradles her soul from the grave
to an unending stream of calmness
Her smile grows wider as the tune plays on
'Drown me in your soothing refrain',she says
Being swathed by this melody
only heaven knows no bounds
'an exemplary Wednesday afternoon'
She thought...
Head buried on tender pillow,
she shut her lids to slumber
Her heart melted in contrast of ardency on flame;
an aura of sanctifying bliss...
while the angelic tune goes on and on.

The Curse of Winter ( FLU 3)

The burning candle

weeps...

cutting...pallid...

canvas of anemic images

can be seen by these ailing eyes

Streams of cosmic meddling 

gyrating spectrum of phantasm 

reliving pieces 

zoetic in dynamic prelude 

a decrepit's vanilla brain bonk...

Troops of quietude

tried to mingle with multicolored lights

emitted from the Christmas tree

tormenting this earsplitting silence...

Sentiments never bail out these sickish lips 

reefed...laid-low...doomed...

take this bug in me 

this bug eclipses in hell's cloak 

impaling the weeks gone passed 

I hate the decrepitude it created

my prime pleasure killer 

As the burning candle weep 

melted flames infusing my arteries 

cutting...pallid...

canvas of anemic images 

can be seen by this ailing eyes 

a distant decrepit...i become...

Don't finish me yet
i'm not well rehearsed for my funeral
repulsive submarine
my imminent low...

before, the crisp winter wind blew me
each blow teeming with toxic spell
each breath...each flutter...
paradisiac...flawless drown.

Who would thought i'd breathe the wicked poison
out of mother nature's breath?

Was it your fault...
Was it mine...
Was it...the totality?

As the burning candle continued to weep
I lit the lemon grass incense
hoping the healing aroma
could ease the befuddling inside me

my eyelids half close
and again I submerge to the torrents of my favorite songs
leaving all questions to the unknown.

Breakdown on the Sofa Bed (FLU 2)

Seems this dark cloud never fades
no more smiles on this winter night
I chill to the coldness of this room
as my body temperature raises higher and higher

If it's okay, i'll say i'm okay
but even a little whisper.... aches
my throat complains of the pain it bears

I light the candle and the scent of orange and apple fills the air
and I light the lemon grass and Japanese cypress incense too
hoping them healing aroma could ease the restlessness inside me

I then submerge in the waves of my favorite songs on iTunes
for hours, i dream as coldness steals my soul

I woke up
to blackness

hands shaking
i again light the candles and incense
my favorite  candles and incense
then played my choice of music
again

while Bruno Mars' "It will Rain"  raises the emotion of these four walls
it reminds me of work, Sarah....when Lady and I sing this song together...

I miss work and the ladies...

the cold waters that leak from my burning eyes
the bear witness of how much i hate this

FLU

Antigenic Drift (FLU 1)

Head aching in alarming pain 

the torment consumes my eyes 

with run down heart

I complain...

How two weeks had passed 

your attendance, stealing and assuming 

chills successively burn my skin 

as each bit of your raging temperature races 

from my hurting head to quavering toes 

to mate my body aches...with watery eyes.

Ignoring your presence

the work is engaging and potent 

with wee changed of weather 

I complain...

How hours had passed 

your company, unwanted but condoned 

yet these mixture of your appalling indicia 

transmitted natural heat to a devastating degree 

formulating fatigue, lacking caution 

slimy liquid flows from the nose...antigenic drift.

Struggling to keep my cool,

the phantom sifting through bounds 

with respiration rough and roasting 

I complain...

How you easily passed immigration 

your donation, tax free and unauthorized 

shedding virus,raiding living cells 

terrorizing my reluctant pockets

with infection augmenting in noxious greed 

its wicked technique...invoked ordeals.

Glooming in ghastly threat,

the torment consumed my eyes 

with crestfallen heart 

I complain...

again and again..

POETRY

At night
you trip to my dreams
and snag a place
for my mind to be still

You block the disturbance
as you slowly paint
the silken canvas...

dissolving aggro...
defusing lemon grass-like aroma
so soothing,
so suited to my taste...

simple yet calm
you flatter my rustic mind
with a soft flutter...

such sweet indulgence,
a subtlety of some sort..

lock me away in your  snug
in feeble beauty of nakedness
bare each hunted feeling

see through me
for only this moment
i let you cradle me
in each current of emotion..

dear Poetry.
