Two Mountains Crumbling In Daylight

Eons ago, near two flowing rivers in old China 
Lived an old, white clothed man ninety-nine years of age 

Who glared at two mountains he knew from his long-dead childhood 
Who glared at the giants he always had dreams of 

The first was a mist covered mountain, where all beasts were blind 
With whispers of meaningless legends and theories 

The second was a fiery mountain singing in passion 
With trees and bushes with golden leaves, but no fruit 

Both these mountains trapped the souls of the damned under the dirt 
Both buried the light in the damp cyclical tomb 

The souls were angels who defended their land from the night 
Horsemen who guarded against the Prince of Darkness 

The inner soul of light within the old man awakened 
The youthful hoopoe bird within chirped for freedom 

He began his work, to dig into the mountains themselves 
He started to craft a path for all to travel 

A wiser old man came up and saw the sweat raining down 
And chuckled at the absurdity raining down 

“Oh friend, you cannot remove one grey hair from the giants 
How in heaven’s name can you crumble these mountains” 

The foolish grey-haired man, singing and young in his caged heart 
Said these words, roaring with his liberated mind 

“My children shall tear the mountains by their blood-covered hand 
My grandchildren shall destroy them with their chisels 

My offspring will fight as unsleeping armies in the night 
My offspring will never surrender their grand fight 

The birds of the blue sky will peck the mountains piece by piece 
The worms of earth will eat the fortress bit by bit” 

These words reached the wise man’s inner heart beating with wonder  
These words reached the sun and moon’s delicate bright souls 

So the ships of light carried the message to the blue sky 
The Infinite Father of Greatness and Lightness 

The blue sky ripped apart the revolving grey clouds of might 
The expanse of azure blue split all into two 

Daylight shone in the highest firmament of dark violet 
Daylight shone in the lowest crannies of Sheol 

These two mountains vanished as if they were nothing at all 
These two watchtowers crumbled in the gentle flames 

Leaving no fortresses between the two flowing rivers 
Leaving only an untouched garden, eons old


Quantitative process of elimination

Anecdote:
For a nuptial effort, I was editing a photograph, my former husband, and his two classmates, as we were proposing for one, not all of them!
Posters are problematic these days, with every hotline too!
Please ignore, once your own tire, is acted up.
It is conveying a symptom, an outlier or an eloquence.
Now give them a brake, as you are not an advertisement, here.


***Quantitative process of elimination (Poe), 
how can you be a parable that you are not a hoopoe within? ****

"You are nagging too much, these days!"
The time, outspoken, looked into the eyes.
I am pieced off with Du'a and Gloria Anzaldu'a
I am Netherlands, perhaps Holland, Hall &, and yet Norway....
Now you popped out from nowhere, half-hearted and negated
(and said),
e will become gradually into E, and all I heard , perhaps,"Thou art a....!"

I foretold this must be an acne issue with hormone, either hyper, or hype-o
Now "Being" a rare loner lump some inside a prayer room, where shall I serve the Type-o?
The Imam simply withered away, yet his glory is not! On a Friday, even though, remembrance about,
But the sister theory is giggling and nagging around, anything,  other than this, without outsider harbinger chariot!
As every should could, perhaps, whence the targeted e is a mere life, not a grandiose Neon God!

These are all "Bay leaf " shape poem, unequivocally true, for the bookmark of your "Al Quran-ul- Kareem" and "hadeeth"
Even though price variation, there is a "housekeeping should" of the reason behind, that you will be liable al through,
Lentil and Moong, Mosul, and other peas, all you will subtly be, a graceful Imam your self
You did not disgrace them, and you did not happen too!

I will urge the time, to declutter own whine, to serve the deepest strength, the other side of your Chromebook screen
Or else, I will be a mere outlier quantitative with crispy onion, for lentil, alfalfa, already piled up algae enigmatic scene
Your work talks there, not your mannerism or coy word, lucrative, adjective or precisely so!
First 'be'! A distilled water bottle in calling for reverie, once rational, for any book, any letter too!

Sonia Gandhi and a form an ode to an imagism diglossic seminary in nepotism

So, I am hiding Occupied state
Or, else or, learning french occult eBay at
Non nuptial lady , a loner, an ex-positional urge
Inside the total nine after, even after a dirge
Alma mater in Houston, there will be a problem with Poseidon surge

Gone baha'i , a limerick try, optional pagan gods and winds around our flagstaff, IN
Animesh is ricocheting, consulting appendics
nonetheless  painless as free as the appendix did say "Ish........"
Duncan hill and healthy premium is a cliched a trope
Hiatus , a self imposed speed limit where a bird, divine hoopoe
in colors and diva, will be "assimilating" marination tonight, 

(and a fried second paper, oil blessing.)

About:

Sonia  Gandhi is a royal chant there, like the people's princess and she
She is a muse , con clues on (and on) , with communal commuter and mundane be!
Why Al Pacino is a PhD dissertation, not now, not YA incognito !
As ethnic dish discourse will have ties to Gospel in a national crisis
With the Nobel prize, navel cutie and baby bottles and dresser case, cliffhangers!


Rules (unruly)
Once taken you cannot take it back, here they Stan, there they channelize
The "room" in Alexandria, Italic or a "Bambino" try."
Will you be trade relations with the orphan or a parallelism in "Ces't la vie?"
Will you be that oxymoron, to the symphony , flora and fauna
that had an entire Ramadan but never against a fie!

(Case and Code, both switches)

For a widow they say, the loosing atlas!
And for an affidavit , they say whisk() in a canop()  try
And then board as you may find solace in grace (head on again, never hedonism)
did you marinate in between? Or ritual Can I pray today?
Can i try? Can i die? Can i sigh? Can i hi? And most of all
can i Nye?

Mani, the Hoopoe That Flew

Beneath the shapeless sky of blue
In the valley lacking a hue

Was an isolated thin pond 
Where birds sang their short song to bond

Singing a song hoarse with throats sore
In the midst of their pond’s vapour 

And dunking their bodies with threads
Into the pond, scratching their heads

In the midst of this quacking though
A foreign and sweet song did grow

A song soft and low in its pitch
With tunes so gloriously rich 

From the bird of the pond of brown
With a towering orange crown

From an egg of a pearly hue 
That flew down from the boundless blue 

And was reared by the pond’s brown birds
Though the pearly egg spoke no words 

Now that hoopoe bird did well sing
When it grew out from the mud spring

Taught by the blue scimitarbill
His unseen twin that came with skill

So Mani, the hoopoe bird, sang
Sang without lips or a sharp fang

To the simorgh bird that stood tall
Strong though unseen and above all

The brown birds of the pond quacking 
At last heard their valley quaking 

Quaking from the gentle ringing
From their adopted bird singing

When the hoopoe was at last done
The birds in fury beat their son

Mani wounded and in much tears 
Flew away from any harsh ears

While flying and singing with skill
He saw his loved scimitarbill

“Mani, the simorgh has sent you 
To sing an ancient song anew

To sing to every nest and tree
So every bird may sing with glee”

So the Prophet Mani prepared
To sing across the world impaired

He crafted seven tunes to sing
So all may feel the simorgh’s wing 

From the valley of detachment
To the valley of wonderment

Singing his melody up high
And flew to the shapeless blue sky

Norea in the Garden of Birds

“Father of All, Hoopoe of the Shining Light 
Voice of Truth, singing above pits of night 
Light singing in heaven’s tree above the height 
Barbelo in the heights unthinkable 
Nous incorruptible, Word untouchable 
Forefather whose voice is unspeakable 
Father whose feathers are impenetrable” 

Norea the phoenix cried with tears in eyes 
Heaven’s birds heard and flew her to the skies 
To the eternal garden of endless size 
Under the singing doves of holy glass 
That her head may rest in Epinoia’s grass 
Resting under the wings of Adamas 
To attain her first mind through Christ’s wings of brass 

So, in this place, she breathes forth offspring herself 
She has been gifted the Logos itself 
She sings with the soul of Adamas himself 
In unity with the undying birds  
Singing immediately with life-filled words
With the eagle of Christ, the guide of herds 
Resting in the light which she knew before words 

Dwelling through the mind of mankind’s forefather 
That Invisible Simurgh, the founder 
She gives praise to the hoopoe bird, her father 
She rests in the Gardens of rest and light 
There are days where she beholds the Garden’s might 
Her soul will be ever filled to the height 
For she has the four doves, whose glass wings shine bright 

The stained glass doves intercede for her again 
To Adamas, in his heavenly den 
That Hoopoe who rests in all the race of men
Housing Norea’s joy in his feathers 
Who sings about the one name without measures 
“All-Father, Hoopoe of holy pleasures 
Voice of Truth, singing beyond earthly treasures”

Watching Birds In The Garden 


     Watching birds in the garden
                    amidst of mundane
                     chores
                      to bore
                 is my simple pleasure !
                 That trove of treasure-
                   I enjoy in my garden and lawn
                       at every early dawn.

       Group of sterlings
          quarrelling and chirping !
          Flocks of sparrows to hop and chirrup:
          Taking morning tea as I burp.

         I observe,
          cooing doves
          and little birdies with sweet tweets
          fed by parent bird bit by bit
          through beak to mouth agape !
           That makes me laugh.

       Parrot or parakeet
      sometimes visit
      Even hoopoe, though rare
       really cares 
         to whelm me:
       Tough enemy
       of small Insects,
         they detect
          from ground
          all around.

      Off and on a kite
         on its flight
      takes rest on tree top.
       Ambient is disturbed.
       Flocks of crows get perturbed
       with shrill caws non stop.
        
       Simple fun has turned my addiction:
           Free entertainment  ! No restriction.

Tagoreweb dinguli mor

Those days of mine, unbridled underneath my golden sky, no longer misfit a gold coffer, intertwine
That the core innermost mine, my serene rainbow, those days of mine, rainbow blossom
Intertwine
In grip, they grew beyond the yonder valley to this lowly glum and glee
Those days of mine, unbridled underneath my golden sky, no longer misfit a gold cage, intertwine

My soulmate, met  heartsong , chorus hymn song prayer
Erudite they were a wishful whim of mine, we were, there
They all  were, flew away together, pensive a jocund, never waited in words to the superlative
Those days of mine, unbridled underneath my golden sky, no longer misfit a gold coffer, intertwine

Dreaming along a day, aspiring through a may, as if the longing were to become
Roaming around my parts and ashes of inferno, Gone long a skeleton , myriad and longing heartsong
Those days of mine, unbridled underneath my golden sky, no longer misfit a gold cage, intertwine
Morbid, this depth of a croon, is it a sophist plethora, mind playing tricks on mind?
Those fugitive neighbors of shadow, hoopoe of my shadowy flight
None knew why , underneath the golden sky
Those days of mine, unbridled underneath my golden sky, no longer misfit a gold cage, intertwine.

Medley of Scenery Contrasts

Mushrooms 
and 
meadows
Sunshine 
and 
shadows

Gentle 
ripples on 
the calm 
river
Foaming 
rapids in 
white 
water
 
The jungle 
echoes in 
the semi-
darkness
while 
daylight 
creepy 
crawlies 
clear the 
mess.

Peasants 
seen 
toiling and 
pheasants 
go 
scratching
as I spy a cricket kinda' 
somersaulting

The cactus in 
imagination, the 
desert's prickly 
femmefatale
Elsewhere a lone fallen 
leaf 
floats in the canal

Prairie dogs go popping
while hares go hopping
But in town, ladies go 
shopping

Swans have formed a V-
line
The flora is ooh yes 
divine
and bees they form a 
bee-line!

Seista seizes birdlovers 
too
They miss out on the 
hoopoe's 
song
for the hoopoe it does 
not sing 
on cue
since a bird may sing 
anytime 
to woo

Gosh what a contrasted 
medley became of the 
scenery
Town and jungle, the 
eve's 
murk or dawn's greenery.

Ah wherever you go 
nature's 
so panoramic
Painters paint pictures 
but God 
actually created what's 
picturesque!

Along came a hoopoe once again


Everyone loves him. A nice amicable guy, as he is no relative, he is no refrain. He starts within a rhythm when  often a melody is surreal and soars along the flight of the song, up high, high above, where God knows everything about eternal time, beyond the worldly cacophony and hustle and bustle. Sometime a song is a mere glass effect and even though some days are also a lit up chandelier and even after all these I feel homesick for a glow in the dark with a softer greenish hue of prayer bids, long dispersed, long gone, Am I growing in lie, am I hardened in feasts through the festive nights, that knew that everything fits through misfits, ever sustaining to adjust , every discord, every subtlety melting with heartache , mundane trickling down over the smile lines, ever paired?I never wanted to know. My shadow leaves there, before the effort of guessing into the depth.

And Salah rush to myriad, I will come back to thee, after every sound, every note and a long day.

And I will bring shalom to thee!

Saturday's Blizzard

There's little or nothing to do,
it's a February rainy day,
Danny molds Batman out of brown clay;
snow is melting after Saturday's blizzard...
I spot a hopping lizard
chase a scary hoopoe!

I strum on my steel guitar
a new melody unique and sad... 
who knows it might be a symphony
with the simplest melody;
I'll add lyrics, thinking they are swords
that scare and defeat vicious warlords!
I play it on a snowy night in January
when no sounds are heard
and thoughts aren't muffled...
by the presence of a gentle wind 
that doesn't scatter the snow and goes far 
to caress with its cold breath a jealous star!

There's little or nothing to do
on this rainy February's day,
this guitar keeps me company
and strumming its strings,
it gets me through this long Saturday's blizzard;
nobody will wake up: they are chasing dreams,
nobody will see my monotony...
but Jessica who listens sends me a Kudo!
