CALCULATED NONSENSE

09 21 14

Join me if you will
on a bestriding of the fringes
scaling a most spastic inquisition
of implicit twinges
selling out to the intentions
of an underlined discretion
with an exclamation of dissent
declining pats of intervention
Sling me if you will
around the indirection of imposing
disillusion bent on belching out
a drown in a reactive hosing
down of drearily insipid ruminations
Stifle me in warnings of a glare
devoid of a directing hand
and eye me with a timely debonair
incrimination of displaced synapses
only found in your repository
of collected intuitions
Modesty exterminated by your glory
of desirability
I hinge on your reciprocation
of a paced unveil of romantic connotations
only to be hung on fingernails of exasperation

'Stifle me in warnings of a glare
devoid of a directing hand'...

sounds like a real b***h, love is a jungle and misappropriated to great extents...to paraphrase a good buddy of ours, 'When I'm finished thinking, I have to die a lot, it's almost like the blues'.....it's almost like salvation' Nevermind, now you've got me singing on popular problems....nevermind.. 'Therapy' on the other hand would say never apologize, never explain, but they didn't say a thing about whipping out a sharp sword and plunging into poetic madness/prowess.

As always, your wordplay is brilliantly enticing as you seduce your reader to join you in your Dali/Benji genius. # 6 by the way...only because that's where I usually dwell....x

Ha, I swear that song was about me, not to mention a few others on the new one...maybe that's why I always have to disappear after I post something new...I have to die a lot...there have been a hell of a lot more blues around lately than salvation...therapy is fast becoming a myth to me...I tell myself that that's what the writing is for, but I don't know, I confused myself with this piece, and I'm still trying to un-confuse myself a day later...

I'm glad you enjoyed it love, #6 and all haha...xo

You remind me of him, he loves to write self-deprecating melodies, yet the ladies love him to pieces, catch my drift? ;) x

[kublakhan27]

Ha I catch it Mrs.R, and I'm actually smiling...how do you do that? ;) x

[Frieda P]

It's a gift, I've been plagued by fairy dust. ;) ha ha

[kublakhan27]

Haha Not a bad thing to be plagued by ;)

[MBUYISA]

very well penned and thought out
Thanks for sharing

Love is war and war is hell. Don't you hate when people lead you on? Bloody succubi out to suck the life out of you. Thankfully we are not all cold hearted, but this experience sounds like a doozy. I really liked "glory of desirability", it resonated in my head really well if that makes any sense. Another brilliant work of art my friend, I always love reading your pieces.

[kublakhan27]

This one did indeed come from a deep and decidedly dark place...so glad that it resonated so deeply with you my friend, you've summed it up perfectly here...thanks so much Ashira :)

I really like the ending of your work, it sums everything up beautifully

Modesty exterminated by your glory
of desirability
I hinge on your reciprocation
of a paced unveil of romantic connotations
only to be hung on fingernails of exasperation

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Barb, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[B.J]

you're most welcome

[icelandicblue]

The build up and the crash, all of that is so intense. You've captured that intensity here.

[kublakhan27]

So glad that this one resonated with you my friend...it was an intense write, and I'm glad to know that the intensity got across.

[Briana O'Connor]

Excellent execution in your words here. I was baffled at the amazing impact left by the depth within each line. Very well penned. Thank you for sharing.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Briana...I think it took me three days to get this one out, it was a definite labour of love...I'm happy to know that it spoke to you so deeply :)

I was always good at hide and seek.. one time being tiny comes in handy.. only in matters of the heart, it isn't quite so fun is it?.. this one had my mind going lots of places, and loved the word play.. well done Steve!

[kublakhan27]

Haha I guess I should play hide-and-seek more often, it would give me one less reason to complain about my height ;) I was going many places through the course of this one as well, and I had no idea where I was going to end up until I got to the end...it took me a while to get there too...so glad you enjoyed it April :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wow this is like a misdirection play in football...where is the real love, the real person...why is that person not wanting to show herself...
it's all in the game I guess...

the shadow play...the obscuring, the hiding.

[kublakhan27]

A fool's game I'm tempted to say...thanks so much Jacob.

[Matching Socks]

Ouch... This is beyond nonsense. It's BS.
If feelings of love or like are not reciprocated then...
You know what to do.
Love the last line!

[kublakhan27]

The title is also a nod to my own impressions of this piece haha For me, well, I just have to keep writing, even if it means reopening old wounds...I can't help it, I have to...so glad you enjoyed it :)

[Matching Socks]

I'm going to start reading other people's reviews before I comment so that I appear smarter.
I'm going to start plagiarizing reviews!! :)

[Mayank]

Can I say its darkly romantic, there is some anger and wants, the madness and agitation.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Mayank...there are definitely elements of all those things in this one.

"Stifle me in warnings of a glare

You express your exasperation so well...

"I hinge on your reciprocation
of a paced unveil of romantic connotations
only to be hung on fingernails of exasperation"

An unsure lover can be so tiring and maddening! It all perfectly expressed in a thoroughly appreciated poetry.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Divya, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
