All about that man: Victorious Light: A poem 

Though it is all my sweaty hard work,  the rewards are wanted by that evil jerk  He is much like a perennial cock-suck  He wants me bowled out for a duck  His batting is simply not done cricket  He is batting for an illegal free ticket  to paradise, where he will immediately sicken it  WithContinue reading “All about that man: Victorious Light: A poem “

God is watching over the wise: A poem 

These brave stones are all in my bones  These little pedestals, I make my thrones  The universe is made up of two cones  The material and the spiritual; we are but drones  In the twilight hours, before sunrise,  when a nightly fire descends from the skies,  the dragon wished his Dad goodbyes  The tears stuckContinue reading “God is watching over the wise: A poem “

Purpose meets endurance: A poem 

The tributaries: purpose meets endurance  like two swimmers in courage’s brilliance  No sun squints us, we have fists clenched  The swimmers are wet, but never drenched  I sniff at the strength, trace the long length  The lyric is all over: future, past and present  We have a distance, but the bridge is prescience  You haveContinue reading “Purpose meets endurance: A poem “

To an old love (I’m still a lonely star): A poem 

I touch memories of that December’s crevice; it seemed  love couldn’t be violent as a nightmare turbulent stream  But I learnt, even broken hearts can wade, then swim  Why does December seem like a picnic, like watching a film?  I can’t think of Santa being cross, not even if he is at a loss  IContinue reading “To an old love (I’m still a lonely star): A poem “

Dad, I picture me at your grave: A poem 

It is the month of March  I see the flowers arch  to milder days; it’s okay  that the season lasts only till May  I await a prognosis  I fathom the promise  like a widow at a seance  thinking it is the last and only chance  Outside, the autumn colours bloom  Now, a dream may orContinue reading “Dad, I picture me at your grave: A poem “
