Fluke
A successful stroke of luck?
Bestowed upon someone...
Who is both surprised and amazed,
By a sudden fuss stirred up?
Oh. Is that what that is?
Perhaps that would be true...
For those finding something new,
To chew on or 'seep' to brew about!
However...
What is being witnessed here,
Is far from the definition of a fluke!
This 'fluke' has been in preparation...
For many, many, many years!
A lifetime spent in spinning 'flukeness'
To perfection!
And that is why the attention,
Does not excite the one who has sacrificed!
See that blood on the trail?
To whom do you think it belongs?
Fluke my...
Aspirations!

The Number 7 Bus
Good fortune, luck, happenstance,
a twist of fate, a fluke
that I caught the number 7 bus
and sat right next to you.

There is a price for popularity. Critics look for your weaknesses, your flaws, anything that makes the work seem like a fluke and not seem worthy of all the attention it's getting.

Lois Spears
Here lies the body of Lois Spears,
Born Lois Fluke, daughter of Willard Fluke,
Wife of Cyrus Spears,
Mother of Myrtle and Virgil Spears,
Children with clear eyes and sound limbs --
(I was born blind)
I was the happiest of women
As wife, mother and housekeeper,
Caring for my loved ones,
And making my home
A place of order and bounteous hospitality:
For I went about the rooms,
And about the garden
With an instinct as sure as sight,
As though there were eyes in my finger tips --
Glory to God in the highest.

I wasn't campaigning for a role in a Hollywood television series, it was a fluke. So you've got to have a measure of good luck, you really have, being in the right place at the right time.

Flu-like
it is flu-like
this fluke of this
universe
this feverish feeling
of loneliness
i am alone on this
vast desert
on my night
with the wind
you are the

Just A Fluke
Silent fight, sudden delight over oil and fibre,
We cherish new faith of wool, of all the doctor.
Round and straight, around my little finger
Hangs much vision to be divorce, then linger.
My name terrifies none but the crude, the liars,
Who fix messengers on their face to tell dealers.
Clouded in vision stayed a demon to rebuke,
He is devil as often as satanic ghosts - just a fluke!

In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best.

I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.

Blowing Kisses
As incredulous as this may seem,
There are some places where people live...
Where the showing of disrespect,
And turning one's back on opportunities...
Is a teaching that is taught to others to perfection.
And in those places,
There are those who scheme...
To weaken those with credible influence,
Through the use of character assassination...
And the telling of the most fantastic of lies.
'You have a very creative mind.
When do you find the time to make this stuff up? '
It has to be a 'fluke'.
Or a dysfunction of some kind,
That interfers with my mental process.
Since where I live everyone is observed blowing kisses.
And those who refuse are murdered.

The Drowning
Raven haired
With a dark
Complexion,
Small for her age,
A bit tom- boyish
But well liked.
With two friends
She left for
The woods
After tea time,
It being July-
A hot summer.
Later upon leaving
The cinema
With some friends
I sensed something
Was wrong as I
Approached home.
At the fluke hole
Apparently she had
Lost her footing,
Fell in, and although
A swimmer the depth
Took her.
Fourteen years before
From the waters of a
Womb she swam forth
Birth crying into the arms
Of love....

In Times Of Separation
when a man leaves you
cry not my sister
you deserve much better
the man who leaves you is blind, swindler
crippled, lame, impotent, deaf mute,
bad breath, flaccid, moron, fluke, puke, mote,
you deserve much better
he junked you then junk him dear
cry not my dear sister
i had been there
but if you cry, cry it out
my shoulder is a beach resort.

life!
Life (2nd attempt in writing a song)
What is life?
Life is sometimes great
Sometimes nothing
Most of the time it moves in circle
Though many a time it goes straight
Life is very easy
When you relinquish your dreams
It is very hard
When you want a thing to achieve
What is life?
Life is sometimes great
Sometimes it is nothing
Name fame in life is a game
of pray and hard work
Some one may get some thing
By virtue of a good luck
But things will never come again and again
As life is never a fluke
If you want to achieve some thing concrete
You have to rub your butt against a thorn or prick.
What is life?
Life is very deadly joyful
When you succeeds in love
Life is a lake of tasteless tears
When you have a success in failures.

I need my freedom
I need my freedom
As much as I need my bread
I need my thoughts to roam free
Even long after I am dead
I need my freedom
As much as I need the sun's ray
I need my mind without a chain
I can't wait to be free for some other day
I need my freedom
Would like to be as free as a brook
I need it in every breath I take
Not off and on as if in a fluke
I'm born free
I need my mind and heart to share
I need every one to be free
Before into the dark hole I retire
Desideratum
i
you are the fluke of the universe
you are less than the trees and the stars
and you have no right to be here.
ii
you are the child of the universe
you are no less than the trees and the stars
and by all mean
you have the right to be here
