Who are you ? Who were you?

Who are you?    Where are you?

As I leave the confines of my small room off the main avenue to refresh my mind this evening. I walk into the street that is easy to walk on, here life was vibrant, noisy, and colorful. Shopkeepers welcome you as they have known you before. Before you know you have walked more than you wanted and now the walk back home.

Then a fair maiden suddenly crossed my path, ever so fleetingly, who was she? The ever-present undercurrent of the hunter and the prey rose up to the surface and the bloodhound in me started the chase.

I followed this fragrance with all my five senses street after street something in me reminded me that this fragrance in the wind was familiar to me but escaped my memory. Often wondered if it would lead me to the summer of my youth or to the winter that would lead me to my demise.

I thank my memory either way for jolting me to reality, reminding me of that fragrance that I was in hot pursuit of, it was truly a perfume of an upper-class working girl who was going to work, who probably never remembered her last few liaisons like yesterdays newspapers.

My world suddenly to a halt and just in time to bail me out of my fantasy and step into reality. I asked myself why was I so vain?. What would I gain after meeting this siren? So I turned and looked eagerly for a temple for my worldly penance before my journey became too tiresome to go back home to the other side dullness and boredom and mundane.

God bless you 

May all be well with you

TALE OF TWO SISTERS "BOLO"

By -
      "BOLO" "BE ON THE LOOKOUT " The spring equinox had just ebbed itself out of the yearly calendar and the summer Solistics had just come into its own. The trees were full of newborn leaves and fruits were begging to be picked and to be savored by humanity. The swans floated on the lakes that looked like glass, the sky was punctuated by the birds that brought sweet songs to our ears. All this was under the glorious heaven on a summer day, and there was peace even for just a moment, for the world to catch its breath and to enjoy what the good Lord has made for us.  Just when one would think all is well with the world a " BOLO"  notice was sent out from the handmaidens who lived across the river Thames the two sisters  MI-6 to MI-5   " Religious Upheaval ". The Pope had many grievances with the non-catholic world, that world was quickly going out of control, the treasury was being rapidly being depleted due to past missteps and violation of huma...

THE ODD COUPLE

By -
  THE ODD COUPLE: NOT FORGOTTEN. The marriage of very cold icy Coke and salty Peanuts. Some who have lived in the southern part of the USA have never heard of this and some have.  It's the best combination ever, it's a friend of the hungry, the meek, the poor, traveling preachers, the miners and hobos, and mechanics with dirty hands. Nothing beats this simple recipe, put the salty peanuts in a glass bottle of icy coke and drink it all up. Sustenance is on a cheap and affordable way for the common man on the go. City folks keep the tradition alive no matter where you are a free history lesson on YOUTUBE, works with all smartypants, nerdy, and techies. Sir, "Can I have another"? "Go Ahead, why not " God bless you May all be well with you DMD
