Flip-flops

~ Frank Solanki ~ 2 Comments

Flip, flop; my flip-flops flop
My flip-flops flip and flop
Drip, drop; the raindrops drop
The raindrops drip and drop

We Float

~ Frank Solanki ~ 8 Comments

We float
Through the prisms of space and time
Through the eyes of the mind
Through each other

We float
Without a destination
With imagination
Holding each other

We float
Zig-zag, vroom-vroom
Straight and round and round
Smiling

We float
We float
Nobody to catch us
Nobody to instruct us
Faraway
We float

Puffy

~ Frank Solanki ~ 10 Comments

Some clouds are filled with water
Some clouds are full of snow
But I am filled with magic
Wherever I may go
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho

I float over the oceans
I float over the lands
Wherever I be pouring
I’ll be making friends
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho

Sometimes I’m swell and puffy
Sometimes I shrink my size
Sometimes I have my party
Sometimes it’s just the skies
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho

I often dance while flying
I often blow and swing
Wherever I am going
I’d be sure to sing
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho

A Club Made Just For Me

~ Frank Solanki ~ 5 Comments

They kicked me out of office
They kicked me out of home
They kicked me like I’m kick-y
I find myself alone

They kicked me out of parties
They kicked me out of pubs
They kicked me out of circles
I had to build my club

A club that’s fresh and lively
A club that feels like home
A club made just for me
A club where you can’t come

The membership is frozen
You have to face the snub
Only one could revel
In an all-exclusive club

I don’t need no parties
I don’t need no pubs
I don’t need no circles
I’ve got my loyal club

Void

~ Frank Solanki ~ 9 Comments

Come here, Darkness; sit with me
Show me what I cannot see
Tell me tales of a faraway land
Where you float from end to end
Touch me with your lifeless hand
Sit with me and be my friend
Nothing is what it appears to be
In your void I breathe endlessly

Do Not Read This

~ Frank Solanki ~ 15 Comments

Let me clarify to you right from the start
Do not read this if you’re weak of heart
If your dear ones fear that you’ll tear apart

Let this be a warning if you’re unprepared
Do not read this if you are easily scared
Not even if you’ve lost a bet or been dared

Do not read this in the dark of the night
First you ensure that there’s plenty of light
Lest you may end up with a terrible fright

Do not read this to your daughter or son
Do not think this is going to be fun
In fact do not read this out to anyone

Do not read this. Do something else instead
Unless you want to mess with your head
Heed my words and you will be forever glad
Do not read this

Well, you made it till the end despite my warnings. In that case let me try another piece of reverse psychology on you. Do not press the Donate button below 😁

A Murder Mystery

~ Frank Solanki ~ 11 Comments

I’m missing you terribly, Darling
I hope you miss me too
Everyone is only talking about us
Just like you’ve always wanted to
Without you life is incomplete
I wish I were buried too
Nevertheless our deepest secrets
Remain between me and you
They’ve tortured me endlessly
But I won’t betray you
I promise they will never find out
Why or when or where or who

My Math Teacher

~ Frank Solanki ~ 14 Comments

I am stronger and braver than most
I ain’t afraid of any ghost
But put my math teacher in front of me
I’ll wet my pants most certainly

The Universe Is Me

~ Frank Solanki ~ 6 Comments

I hold within me the spirit
Of everyone who’s passed before me
My ancestors and yours
Are locked inside my heart
Their breaths, their skin, their lungs
Their heartbeats, their veins
Are thundering in me

Likewise I shall bequeath my soul
My will and my memory
To every child and descendant
Who succeeds me

I also hold the soil and rock
And every element
That circles the atmosphere
In the cosmos and beyond
I am the world, the universe
The universe is me
The light, the mass, the energy
The radiance and glow
I am that and everything
Everything and everyone is me

Forever Flawed

~ Frank Solanki ~ 11 Comments

When I see her I know
That I cannot be perfect
She is my flaw
My fatal weakness
She possesses me
I am in her control
With one blink of her eye
I lose myself to her
Is it within me to overcome?
Do I succumb too easily?
I have heard stories of strong men
Weakened by the power of love
What have I to lose?
If perfection demands that I cease to love
Then forever flawed I wish to be
