TWO APPOINTMENTS IN THREE DAYS

10 01 14

I'm together

but in perforations

　

Ill -attired acclamations

sullied first impressions

on the fidgeting brink

of philosophical exchanges

shelving practicalities

in favour of endorsing

back seat drives on

the howdahs of mellifluously

paced search engines

　

Memories securely fastened

in the machinations of

fiberoptic legs on a traipse

around the chapters of

inclined accumulations of

historic amnesia

　

I'm together

but my edges have been tempered

to a callous crisp

in the aftermath of

solitary licks of membership

in academic propositions

sapped by nervous circumstances

and devolved to prepositions

imbued in pride and forgotten

in the jittered tenures of

cerebral sustenance

　

Tell me what you know

said a writer who abhorred quotations

I am learning how to quote

accusations slung in mental arrows

at a future's crackled mistrial

　

Criminal corroborations

end a validating era

with the strict insertion

of societal negation

　

A point and click

and a corrupt revival

of togetherness sutures

all the memories of sharp indulgences

with the blunted bridges of

disabled compromises

Reviews

[writing mojo]

WOW WOW WOW>>i remember why i stopped reading your stuff, it's because i couldn't say anything intelligent enough to praise such artistry, end up in stream of conscious poetry..not ego born but inspired by the writers that unlock blocks...you my friend are amazing and the only reason i stay away is that you intimidate me to speechlessness...excellent piece i can tell you suffer to get it to say what you really mean..

[kublakhan27]

Wow, what can I say, you've made my day with your kind words mojo...it means the world to have a writer of your caliber offer such high praise...I know I'm guilty of having not read much of your work as of late, but I assure it hasn't been because I'm not a fan...I also find your work stimulating on so many levels, intellectual and beyond, and it usually takes me a good while to be able to absorb it all and offer any kind of deep insights, and I have many 'good whiles' as of late...I promise I have not finished reviewing you though...so glad you enjoyed this one, and a million thanks for the confidence boost, something I do require regularly.

[Jennie Baron]

Complex, intricate, even complicated. This takes the reader in many directions, but the word choice is admirably precise. A profound, well thought out and interesting write. I don't have much to add to what David and KL have said.

[kublakhan27]

It's been a complicated week, and for better or worse, these complications inevitably come out in the writing...I'm glad it was able to take you to different place...so glad you enjoyed it Jennie :)

[Lyn Anderson]

You weave such an intricate path, that needs to be re-read to be followed, struggle, strife, loneliness, and wandering, attempts to connect, assemble, and re-assemble. Reaching out through cyber space, searching for a meaning between the appointments we need to attend.

[kublakhan27]

You always know just where I'm coming from my friend...glad you enjoyed it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah, a little scary, actually, your mind is quite the labyrinth.:) Chin up and keep up the fight. Off to work I go. And bill paying, and such dreary affairs ...

[kublakhan27]

Haha It is certainly that, but yes, one day at a time...best of luck with the day.

[David Scott]

My favorite line is the allusion of being put back together, but the edges are changed in a way nothing will ever really fit seamlessly back into place...
Great imagery here Khan. I felt like I could see the intention of every line very clearly in focus.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much David...I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a meticulous write :)
