The jade on my finger, the amethyst  The moonstone, lapis lazuli, above my wrist  I like to dazzle myself with them  That earned wisdom is a treasured gem  Gems can be lost in despairing moments  on a clotheshorse of circumstantial torment  Even the buzzing dishwasher’s pains  cannot wash the dishes of all their stains  CanContinue reading “Gems: A poem “

Let them bang on the walls of the corridors of my mind  Let them repeat, and repeat again and rewind  I have no knots in my locks, no scallops on my toes  To their entreaties, I have the choice to shut my doors  Wary, self-aware, a bull knows its own ideal fare  All that glittersContinue reading “Futile entreaties: A poem “

The humble keyboard displaying from A to Z  and from zero to nine; to divine lessons we are wed  Can we be enriched by the black on blue screen?  Or do we render His pixels bereft of sheen?  Yet, are we mere liveried footpersons marked by numbers?  If God gives us the fires of eachContinue reading “Never asked God why: A poem “

I won’t offer him  a seat on the bus. It’s notContinue reading “How I love to hate: A poem “

Honey,  we didn’t do it for the money  Those that hated me when they didn’t get it  should know my duty was never brittle like a brick  For hate is only a wound of the truth  And love is deeper than any root  If there was shame, I considered it all in the game  knowingContinue reading “Honey, your wings take me high: A poem “

I keep telling Him: Hurry!  A prayer, a petition and a worry  My hair is all turning grey  And it could well be my last day  I can remember the incompleteness when Dad died  And I imagined His arms were still open wide  Can the future be the resurrection of the past?  The little weContinue reading “God! Please hurry!: A poem “
