... and that is how my seconds unfold...

I loved my poison,
i loved it sweet...
what's lost is forgotten
in a heartbeat...

The second scent
is only a whiff
the second shot
is but a chance

the second glance
is a final twist
to a tale as hazy
as morning mist.

the second word
does the trick
you need no sword
when words prick...

my second wish
is death's kiss
to all my dish
that went amiss...

my second turn
at an awaited tryst
guarantees an ending
so very crisp.

PS: and that is post # 100 :)

topsy-turvy

who's to say what's top and bottom,
i'm'na turn the whole thing upside down,
tonight my imagination catches flight
and there's no stopping curiosity...

who's to differentiate right from wrong,
i'm'na turn ur perspective around,
my sight chases a distant kite,
just as my flight catches wind...

who's to say what's done can't be undone,
i'm'na flip the hourglass around,
my sails catch the westward wind,
one glide is all it takes to rediscover time...

who's to say what's whack; what's not,
counter spin your brain around,
u'll see that tizzy is the state to be,
to be high and floating around cloud nine...

who's to say what's noise from sound,
i'm'na tune u to mother nature's song,
give your brains the needed wings,
be an aide to my quest for abstraction...

who's to say what's beautiful; what's not
i'm'na turn the fish bowl around,
what you see bottom-up,
is the truth unknown top-down...

Weirdo !!! Me ??? Really ???

The princess is looking for a few chuckles, i suppose. I shall not challenge her autocracy and for the lack of other choice, i choose to be complaisant. According to her wish or as are the rules of the tag, I will list 5 POSSIBLE instances of quirky behavior / weirdness intrinsic to being me. Fortunately for me though, i am plentifully equipped with irregular brain cells and a copious abundance of bizarreness flows in my arteries and veins. So, here we go...

1, The digital volumo-meter on any audio-visual device at my place has to read one of the following levels. {2, 8, 16, 22, 28}. 13 might sometimes be an allowed level. If the sound is too hard on my ears or hard to hear, i'll bring in an amplifier with analog tuning capabilities, but the numbers have to stick.

2, I have a constant feeling of deja vu. I feel like i have dreamt a lot of things happening to me. It's like i'm living a dream. The bad kind.

3, My mom says that as a li'l kid, tearing a newspaper was my favorite activity. These days, tearing my own junk mail is. It's an art. To have perfectly alligned edges overlap is sooo satisfying... However, my favorite part is the music. Yes, the sound of tearing paper is music to my ears.

4, I have a constant itch. An itch to re-arrange the planets in the solar system in the order of growing radii. Besides, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neputne have no business having 63, 47, 27 and 13 moons respectively.

5. So, i'm not as obsessive about dental hygiene as some of my other buds are, but i do like having white teeth... I brush my teeth in 8 different angles and clock or count-down the time i spend at each.

Guess that does it... LOL, it hardly took any time... Pardon my pseudo-existence and before i drift back into oblivion, here'z the guys i pass the baton to...
