Achi"tact"urally speaking

A poet among engineers...
A dreamer among his peers
Someone who's always lost
Waiting for some aliens to accost
A romantic at heart
Yet to shy to walk into the hypermart
An architect at large...
A dress sense just like Marge
A carefree existence
Often interrupted mid sentence
A yearning to draw
Learning to follow the law
Living a life so crazy
Turning up the heat till the windows go hazy
Making strange squiggles
Tickling others till they're reduced to a giggle
Neglected responsibility
Created a whole lot of hostility
Wrote strange lines
Casually paid up a million dollars in fines
A little bit mad
A dressing sense to satisfy a passing fad
A tad to rich
Some say he was in love with a witch
Someone liked a song
And I just hummed along
As we sat on the wall
And dreamt up the scheme for a mall
Buildings in ones heads
Thinking of stadium seating while cheering for the Reds
Living for work
A profession that many consider a quirk

A little left out
Smiling silently as the girl next door pouts
Working nights
Doing feasibility reports for "RITES"
A little misconstrued...
A whole lot screwed...
In the head that is
Try and ask it as a quiz

Architects...
Oh they're always so..."Henpecked"

:)

Writers "B"lock

A Drawing
An egg in the pan is frying
A littlle girl down the street crying
Guilt pangs at my forehead clawing

A reason for secrecy
Something that makes my stomach all queasy
A post on a blog
A fire that burns leaving no trace of logs
Neglected duty
A life thats oh' so perfect and fruity :)

An old favourite
A well kept secret
Humming a tune so apt,
Realising your home is covered in a map

The small joys of life
Handled well inspite of strife
Digging my pockets for change
Wondering if my brain is out of range.

Colours everywhere
Dreaming of kids at the fair
Smiling at a rainbow
Sliding down a hill all covered in snow
A vacation in spain
A walk in the pouring rain

Distractions galore
Its as if my write side is all soar.

Colours don't matter anymore

A red pen in hand,
Strumming the tabletop as if I were in a band,
Thinking of things that would make many people cringe,
Remembering Francis Drake - the kings beard he did singe.

Distracted!
The tip of my pencil retracted.

I've built this wall around me...
I'm sitting snug, almost as if awaiting the kings decree
My degree's still pending
I might as well switch lines to vending :)
Be it food and drinks,
Or even skates beside the Ice hockey rink


I don't think so often....
But then its not everyday that you'll see a coffin
I grin to myself every now and then
I wonder what to do with the next lot of ten

I'm turning colourblind
The pens blue not red
I hope you don't mind
After all... you see... I'm not really Ted!
If i was.. I'd be the one who was dead

Hold Up!

My thoughts were put on hold
My rhymes must have grown all cold
I watched others eat
While i attended the meet
Left halfway
Right down the old pathway
Out of touch
The expenses are just getting out of clutch
Some area there
A new mare to dance in the fair
Somethings just happen
Others tend to cause the pace to slacken!

The Chees I chose

There are these..
And there are those :)
There are men
And there are mice...
If they are ten
They're sure to have lice...
There are geese
The sight of which causes some to wheeze
There are times to commit crimes
Time to sit and clean up the grime
Somethings just work
Some theories in darkness forever lurk
Like i said there are these
and there are those...
and theres the cheese
That just melts down to your toes :)

Hunger pangs!

Munching on a pack of pringle
Wearing a slik shirt thats ohh so easy to wrinkle
The spell cheque is of,
As of late encashing self cheks makes me coff
Sunbathing on a deck
Remembering the ship thats now a wrek
Languages get muddled
Thoughts befuddled
But the point gets across
With a barely acceptable transmission loss
It depends on thermodynamics
Or maybe just the reputation of the mechanics.
Hiss popp Hiss.... a whole lot of static
Life is so easy when ur driving an automatic
Exceeded the speed limit
All to avoid being late by maybe a minute.
Its fun moving so fast
The only thing better is sitting atop the ships foremast
Being in control
Letting the bearings just roll
Ignoring friction
Being so nervous it shows in your diction
Rhymes written for a reason...
They're easy to do regardless of season...
With motivation gone...
Even the best off efforts is barely worth a moan...
The rhymes don't sound right
Maybe they're just reminiscing about Frank Wright.
Theres a passion thats amiss
Something that most would casually dimiss
Its not that bad
But the feelings just a li'l less than glad
It shows
But mostly you'll think i've just been overdoing the rows!

A li'l Uptight

She's a li'l nervous....
Maybe her ears are turning a bit to porous
Missing alll calls...
Leaving me alone to watch every game of football
She's a li'l bit uptight...
She needs to sit a li'l more upright
I stare into space...
As i watch her race..
Theres a marathon next week
Though my prospects of competing are bleak.
I'll run along..
As long as i know i'm not in the wrong..
I'm getting the heeby jeebies
I wander the streets, looking for freebies

I saw a stranger clamber onto a bus
I thought about "all that fuss"
The rain came
Ohh I realised I miss that Dame!

Memories of long ago
Travelling to and fro
We watched the sun rise
And felt we'd won First prize
And we watched the sun set...
Feeling we'd just lost a bet!

May and Ankh

Running away from reality
Living in a world of Fraility
Wierd emotions
Scary notions
A carefree soul
Looking for someone to play the guiding role
A bright ray,
A disposition as sunny as May
To careful to ever drive a tank
Quite willing to play that odd prank
An eye for an eye
The occasional sigh
Architecture he preaches
Even though he claims everyone around is a leech
A careful Bugger
A persistent Bug
May and Ankh
forever wishing he could drive away in a tank!

Drive me Crazy ... I'm to Lazy

I was a li'l unwell
It was as if my head was under a spell
Missed a movie
Heard later on that it was quite groovy
Gotta meeting to attend
A couple of contractors to Befriend
Catch some Hanky Panky
Need to make sure people don't turn Cranky
Pretend to be unaware
Just say that u want to attend the fair.
Innocent appearances can fool,
Sometimes even make girls drool
Don't get to glad...
Often your brain may just be turning mad
Confused Confusions
Diffused Delusions
They're all the same
Nether of them is really a dame. ;)

Half asleep.. Fully awake

Its been ages since i wrote
Its as if life has barely been afloat
Everytime i start to think
My minds distracted by some fink !!
I finally decided to pen my thoughts
Before my brain begins to rot !!
The attempt is feeble
The results won't really be regal
But its a start
And the chain of thought will roll on like an apple cart

And here i am flooding you with rhymes
Going crazy and trying to floor u with my mimes
I'm not yet sleepy
I'm sure theres something creepy
The posters done
I'm finishing the last bit of bun
I thought i'd chat u up at last
But it seems that u chose to look right past
I wrote so, a song so long
But i guess somewhere i went wrong
I'm gonna hit the bed!
I guess we'll never be wed :P

The "Arty Farty Party"

Last night I went to a party....
Everyone there was old and "Arty Farty"
Met a few people,
Muttered a few hellos that were surprisingly feeble.

A few i knew
But most faces were new
Avoided some
Stuck around behind my Mum

The birthday boy reminded me of the Dean
I ended up chatting about Mr Bean

Someone I met
Had a slightly conflicting mindset
All in the blood
Yet I felt like screaming out Mi ' lud

It was'nt half bad....
As parties go it may even be called rad!

The Prince !!

Multitasking,
In the sunlight basking
Been to site...
Ordered it all painted white
Saw a lot
Settled down and slept in a cot
Clambered over roofs
Preteding to be all aloof

Had a psychic twin
Useful when i felt like avoidng the din
Put upfront
Allowed to always bear the brunt

I escaped unhurt
Stood at the edge and watched faces full of mirth

I remember the prince
With the shadow he tried to mince

Are we related??
Well i guess the realization is Belated!!

Strangely lost

My minds distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away...

I think of you and I think of things
I think of you and time goes by...

My minds excited and amused
My thoughts from here to there do sway

I make a drawing and i write a line
And all of a sudden I feel fine...

I wish it were that easy said the caterpillar to the frog
But after all I'm just a wheel in the cog..

You said that one wrong
Just to make the song go along

Its been ages since we last met
I remember the time when we were all wet

I'm overdoing the rhyme...
But hang on that can't be a crime..

I take a deep sigh
I wonder what it'll take for me to get high

I tried
And I cried

But I'm bored stiff...
And it's not because I'm miffed...

Miss Identified

Just the other day,
I heard a donkey bray..
I was lost,
looking for some one to accost..

Lost in thought
Craving for some pot
It's been a while,
Since I've run a mile.

Hallucinations come,
and the only thing that dispels them is Rum
I dream of the past,
but time seems to pass a bit to fast.

Work to be done...
Ohh I envy those girls soaking up the sun
I ogle from a safe distance....
Wish I could sail in a ship called "Happenstance"

Dreams Dreams Dreams....
If i start writing I'll need about a hundred Reams ;)
