Though East and West in the same chalet never sit   Like-mindedness can also be a derby of wits  Intuition’s perfect foil to education fits  Can we disown honesty with imposed writs?  But even innocence can withhold the truths  when it walks furtively with fear in its boots  The liar tells his lies for sanity’sContinue reading “Little profound musings: A poem “

My dead pet came to me with love  And I was freed from the deluge by a dove  I don’t look for victory with desperation  These are not the granaries of my nations  I could cry over the battles lost, the cost  of sacrifice in vain, the insurmountable pain  This road is meaningful, even if obscure Continue reading “My pet came to me…: A poem “

I hear from the omnipresent mind of Brahma  that there is no decadence of purity  even if it is repeatedly abused and defeated.  With this knowledge, I think my seeking is fruitful  and I dance to the Rta of Varuna…  to the music of the universe  All the victories and defeats  are but falling dominoesContinue reading “To my soulmate, Part two: A poem “

(I waited for so long, long for you. And you were an infant in my arms)  I feel my hair come loose, like a lion’s mane,  and hang down right to my boots  I spent all these long, long years  feeling them till they deafened my ears  There is a lamplight at my expectant door Continue reading “To my soulmate, Part one: A poem “

In the requiem, I feel the seeking expression  of a child who cannot do without umbrage  I say : “you are always with me in courage.”  A clear sky at my window, and a garden  at my door. I nod like approbating flowers  in a soft wind and their beds are filled  with life-giving salts.Continue reading “Remembering you, beautiful Mother: A poem “

I am a poet of the old kind  Letting no jigsaw plague my rhyme  No complex metaphors to have you blind  in my black and white peppered lines  I can strip naked for the voyeur  Honesty walks down my foyer  The thespian, the surgeon and the lawyer  are plainclothespersons making up my choir  Who canContinue reading “I am a poet: A poem “

What is everything?  God in a nutshell of religion  The promise of salvation  A belief in the overwhelming din  I look at myself in the mirror  at the atrophy, in horror  And I think I’m losing everything  But does matter matter?  Yet, I want to feel confident there is a promise beyond matter  The truthContinue reading “A poem on everything: A poem “

This spring is like growing  figments of out-of-sync imagination  on the tree of my soul  I can feel something missing  from the breathing whole   Eros’ misbegotten arrow  He tried and I am tired, but am still wired  to the electricity of destiny.  These streets of my life  are old, but hold on to convictions’ gold Continue reading “No passion for self-defeat: A poem “

I can see you waiting and wanting  for a response, with an outstretched arm  And I am thinking, before the conversation begins,  now, this will have to end. I have walls of ifs and buts  that refuse to be taken down. I can only let you in…  But I have a garbage bin for vainContinue reading “Betrothed to a star: A poem “
