Beckham’s bend-it

Advertisements

It came out of the far left field. 

Like Beckham’s bend-it. 

The spinning ball hit me right on the face. 

Shattering my spectacles and bleeding my nose. 

I was dazed at first.

But the aftermath was clear. 

The pain dissolved, 

Leaving residue of a faint scent. 

A dwindling fragrance, yet,

Seductively, thoroughly evoking. 

Like Old Spice. 

It was more than just a cologne. 

In a flying second, 

I knew. 

As clear as I knew,

I was alive. 

A scent from the far off-field. 

The scent – A call for adventure. 

One spark. One distant trigger. 

To shatter the peace and to take arms. 

A scent which I want all of. 

Which I follow, like a lonely ant,

Finding its way home 

In the wilderness of the 3-Dimensional. 

Somewhere out there, far away,

The source of the scent, sits fat and heavy. 

One day, one fine day, 

I will be The Best Selling Author.

This is me. As Charles Bukowski would put it - born like this, born into this. I don't like to talk about myself. I am afraid this is all you are getting now. I like to express myself through my poems, and stories and very soon another novel. I love you, my darling reader. So read on.
