I am not dumbstruck  by the vagaries of luck  I hope you will be mine  when the weather is fine  You place your tent  with my enemies’ consent  This stifled envy  to which I am privy  Thus, I battle through detente  Chess is a game of patience  I only scold the stars  that illuminate myContinue reading “You were always mine: A poem “

The reality of you contrasts with the truth of you  But I know my imagination will always hold true  I take all your ruthless stones and soothing feathers  And am proud that I have weathered all the weathers  The idea of you is much like a reassuring soothing breeze  A simplification of all the commotionContinue reading “Blind faith in the truth of you: A poem “

I travelled through space to another world  The cotton of the universe all seemed curled  And the galaxies spinning glows like pearls  I reached a terra orange, sky orange, unblurred  I did not expect anything in this barrenness  Aspirations don’t come as suddenly as experience  We talk of life, but its cloisters are all overContinue reading “No `abdico’ for me: A poem “

I never counted my chicken. My poems  go unpublished, and I’m sixty! They are no shining gems  But, undiscovered, they lie on my blogsite, unread  like deep-earth stone structures stranded in beds  that even the most sharp-eyed satellites fail to uncover  I have had no birth, no death, but deathly still moments  These words, theseContinue reading “They’re saying AI writes better poetry: A poem “

There is a comet in my soul  Within my walls, I feel it soar  It bangs, it thuds, it whizzes past  And 365 sleeps it outlasts  I have a glowing star in my eye  It lights up the bed in which I lie  It spins and radiates on my pillow  And my dreams, therefore, are neverContinue reading “Hope in despair: A poem “

I have the strands of Leo  playing in my head  wherever I come, and wherever I go  right from dawn till when I bed  This marigold, daisy and daffodil  And all the courage in me is instilled  And when I see Capricorn,  strong Great God Pan in me is born  I see Aries, Libra andContinue reading “The strands of Leo play in my head: A poem “

Their starship lit the sky  They came from Gemini  Shining in my eye  Telling me I’ll never die  This love I feel  This is the real deal  The sword and the seal  I felt on even keel  I kissed their offered rose  for the destiny I chose  But I told them it was no timeContinue reading “They came from Gemini: A poem “
