Bardo Aug 9
At my brother's for Christmas dinner
Sitting there for a moment I felt suddenly like I was the turkey
I thought they were all looking at me kinda funny
It was like they were licking their lips
And saying "Doesn't he look delicious, a lovely big juicy looking bird
It was like I thought they were thinking
We're not likely to win the lotto (the lottery) at our age
We've never been very lucky that way
The best chance of us getting a windfall of money would be
If dear old Uncle Bardo was to suddenly kick the bucket
Then we'd get his house and all his money
We could give up our day jobs and go holidaying for the rest of our lives
We'd be sliding down Easy Street singing like a bunch of sailors
Wouldn't it be great ?
I thought I better watch out, better watch what I'm eating, what their
  giving me
Next time I better bring a food tester/taster along with me
You never know, life is strange.

I suppose it works both ways though, my brother's always a bit reluctant to come down to my house
He doesn't think I'm very hygienic, he says he's always afraid he'll get food poisoning.

I guess it's all just...just in the family.
In the family like in the Mafia LoL. "I know it was you Fredo".

A *******-sism
Of bright and drip-fed colour

Floating and free-wheeling
Bright oil on dusty canvas
Tread carefully
Lifetimes linger underfoot
In mountains and dales only love prevails
It is no matter who from where one hails
God is love a song is sung by nightingales
Love is just what every living heart assails

Beauty intoxicates and takes its real control
Real part is played by lover's heart and soul
Creation becomes its ultimate eternal goal
Pain of love is what takes one as a whole

My sweet beloved are you ready for the trial
Before you are totally lost and just beguile
Think about the intricacies of love for a while
Before you are thrown to ocean from the soil

Let be clear love takes in a wink but just all
Only chosen one are eligible for the real call
For others it is set of hurdles wall after wall
Only men of heart encounter to get windfall

Pollen on your lips,
a bee in search of it,
I usurp it, get more
than what I asked for.

ഈ തേനീച്ച കൊതിച്ചതിലേറെ

നിൻ ചുണ്ടിലെ   പരാഗം
തേടിയെത്തി തേനീച്ച ഞാൻ
കവർന്നതു ഞാൻ  നുകരവേ
കൊതിച്ചതിലെറെ ത്തന്നു നീ

— The End —
