ONCE UPON A TIME



Once upon a time in a brewery,

Is the host of man’s refinery,

Producing juice sparkling like jewelry,

With the most complex of all machinery.


Is this just a factory, 

Or a mere hyperbole of poetry?

Such were the questions we posed,

To the tour guide who spoke.


He continued with intent,

“Inside this structure is a multi-storey

All men who tried climbing,

Never reached her peak of understanding”


She like to be pampered,

Especially when tempered.

Her sorrow may need your console,

Yet in her bliss, you mustn’t lose control.


Such an oxymoron of a factory,

Built by the master brewer story.

Complex in nature, frail by stature,

Embodied in one feminine structure.


Advise her without being stern,

If you intend to keep her in your pen.

Smiles maybe as beautiful as stars,

But tears can turn into scars.


Ask them to choose, they prefer the latter.

Yes, simple words just to flatter.

Be so kind and it turns into obligation,

But frugality is seen as starvation.


Abundance of it, makes too sweet,

The Luck of it brings silly tweets.

Like the sides of a coin,

Only one part is shown at a glance.

Toss her well when given the chance.

THE RUNWAY

Standing at Bay With no need to make hay For the sun has already set As the clouds and moon had bet This is real life unveiled Tango of the night revealed So as to be thy own saviour Heed to my unqualified rumor Why stare at a pulpit? Whilst you are the lectern  Is it because you're deemed unfit, Or the anointing isn't yet your turn? Oh brother, is it a mistake? That you have a stake To be rich and worthy That thou has churned worldly? This sister is blessed with dimples! And curves so simple To cause a tremble  In pillars of a temple But because your gift Can cause a tectonic drift Has become a disadvantage That at this young age You cannot be called a sage So where are all the teachings The faith and commitment preachings Are we now likened To those backslidden We cannot wait any longer Call a sister and brother Let's all get back to "Grace" Confess our deeds of disgrace As the runway is tared for arrival Let's ask for a revival  A Spiritual survival One ple...

THE RATIO

One nose, two trills. Breathe more, smell less One mouth, two ears. Listen more, speak less. Further beyond the sea, As far as the eyes can see. Two also are the ears to hear. So are the palms that cheer, When the lonely mouth does fear. So that we can keep watch in the day, Listen more to whatever they say, Close those palms when we have time to pray, And speak less but rather make hay, As often as we are in this flesh. Man and woman created He them, To compliment every now and then, Each other's whims and carprises, As economic goods soar in prices. That is the natural ratio. Two-is-to-one: But take no undue advantage. Even if women outnumber men in this age, Are you the messiah to minimize damage?

FADING RED

Thou art a color So I heard. Yeah, a man with honor They all declared. Are thou not a mere rumor Overly revered? Aren't thou a color Named after a deed? An act of kindness, A lady of sweet dour.  Whether maimed or mimed? Why haven't I met thee? Are they all scam? The chocolate chunk, The red velvet cake, And the love formed, In hearts that testified. Which color art thou oo dear? Just in case you know me Hide not from me your face At least for once. Waste no more this chance As my yearn for you fade, Be my valentine on this date.
