Between Leo and Virgo, and Virgo and Libra  the islands were made of crystalline stars  And their Titans flourished, sequestered by sea  A civilisation so exotic, lands so fair and free  Huge pillars of stone and Poseidon’s throne  Long-lived gods in these soils were borne  But a madness of evil grew in the bone  NoContinue reading “Atlantis: A poem “

The foliage of tender immaculate memories  prolific and vibrant like monsoon-fed trees  And the harmonious inviting song of the seas  with waves obliging my guiltless seeking knees  And the squeak of relentlessly wetted sands  between my toes and sifted by my hands  Coconuts drifting, bobbing from far off lands  Goats foraging noisily in shepherded bands  FoxesContinue reading “Lost soul of a homeland: A poem “

Gullible innocents believe too much in deceit  Punishment for crime has been no receipt  The Age of Man could horribly repeat  Honestly, truth faces resounding defeat  Whose god is ours in untimely hours?  Fiction takes fact like the sky takes stars  The body of space is filled with this lace  The theatre of earth washedContinue reading “Man: A poem “

Loose threads in the heads where our ambition beds  We left no stone unturned to what progress has us led  Our pills are quick but still as a dammed motionless rill  Our story cannot recall the glory of truths modernity did kill  We know a lot; we think we learnt a lot, and yet simply still Continue reading “Loose threads: A poem “

My Mum was intelligent, but she read only a very few books  My Dad was creative, but he didn’t read any, not even those for cooks  But they had a simple altruistic wisdom, was not out of fluke  They chanted for all, with beads in their palms, even for the crooks  We learned to loveContinue reading “Not his light…: A poem “

You tell me, to my joy, that I am yours  I have been toiling hard, with all fours  But never did I beg or knock on doors  The unicorn always heeded to the lion’s roars  I fell like Alice into a time warp’s rabbit hole  The lost and desolate millennia, out in the cold  NorContinue reading “I waited long and hard for you: A poem “

There’s nothing fickle about miracle, no trick like magic  The wizard lives long and grey, doesn’t bleed from a pinprick  The Coven in Coventry lies low, but toiling in the woods  They don’t get vindicated by vindictiveness, but justice in their hoods  They cast no spells in wells, they burn bridges with their hells  TheyContinue reading “Graveyards of their souls (Is it Jesus?): A poem “

This pulsebeat, this fire’s heat, this perilous seat  Words to greet, and then repeat, a sprinter’s fleet  This waking for dawn with the grace of a fawn, a figment born  Evangelising a storm, pictures of you, Dad and Mom, love’s bomb  I am quite a packet in a bracket; this thicket, just whack it  LocketsContinue reading “Fear will never…: A poem “

Not to forego ego is a selfish man’s snore  The cocksure feel right, right at each door  If one counts the numbers for every score  a question looms large over prejudice’s decor  Romance may be all the crowing of wayward boys  who can ruthlessly shoot their temporary toys  But each decoy is a noise forContinue reading “True heroes are not news but mythology: A poem “

On the lissom phantasmal nereid’s trail  the slow boat of a yearning mind sets sail  Would I keep seeking even if imagination fails  in unrelenting meadows with a misty veil?  I am armoured with just poor pen and notebook  for the brook of magic to break out of vacant nooks  This blood of patience, risingContinue reading “A pen and a notebook: A poem “
