I never saw you when you were alive  but you came like a dye in my spiritual eye  The darkness beyond sensory vision  is a real colour, not light’s illusion  And you can take love for what it takes  Undulating is the gradient that it stakes  A spirit burns perpetually like an undying flame  AnContinue reading “To my Rufio, who I never saw: A poem “

This perceiving is no illusion  that brings immensity in visions  And I rear up my illuminated head  to the towers of gratitude on my bed  Believing in the depth of what is unsaid  unspoken and wise and concise  like the stars’ silent, unfettered rise  in the learning and absorbing night  You knew so much more,Continue reading “Casula, my princess: A poem “

These dots of you, I explore, are not punctuation marks  They bloom over the horizon like coloured arcs  I could rub you for hours on hours  A furry baby, beside me, like a gift from stars  making a cradle of me, like a piano has bars  And I know precious life is not only human; woe Continue reading “To my sweet little Phoenix: A poem “

The workaholic may fancy a progression of work in clockwork precision, but the lotus eater may as well keep time for the welcome ring of the bell that calls time out. It’s for one to judge who’s clockwise between the procrastinator and the one who’s out to beat the clock. What would you rather, theContinue reading “Have the laurel or eat the lotus?: Just for laughs “

In Spain, they would say, it rains only in the plains. But now we know it’s El Nino or La Nina. Some may think the rain a pain. Some may call it a blessing. Depending on which part of the globe you’re in. But you can’t change the weather with a wishing.   And ifContinue reading “Rain, rain go away, or come again?!: Just for laughs “

I am older than Methuselah  I am younger than the future  I can gladly sing: Shalala!  For I always see the bigger picture  I am wiser than Solomon  I don’t get impressed by con  Like Enoch, I converse with the gods  Yet, I am my own master and lord  The devil, to me, is onlyContinue reading “I am older than Methuselah…: A poem “

I never had fortune, because he was always opportune  So, I never played his tune…never cast his rune  I waylaid forty-seven, I guerillaed seventy-nine  I know he’ll have to learn his lessons in his own time  Even if my pain does hurt, it is not in vain  The sky is not the limit where IContinue reading “Teaching the devil his lessons: A poem “

You could always be below your best  Love could be closet, not a harvest  And could you be for a few, and not the rest?  Is your love selfish? I’m sorry, I jest  God could be double-edged, does he forgive?  Did he create us so that we love and live?  Is life a penal colony?Continue reading “Dear Valentine…: A poem “

If only justice could be done! If only it could be done without pun My Dad deserves it, every bit But the evil Prakash will hijack it I can hope and I can pray But the devil takes hold of every way I can’t relax and I can’t sit For all through winter, I haveContinue reading “If only justice could be done!”

I am a perennial time traveler  Like a phantom walking stellar  in every heaven’s untainted street  Disguise can’t fool me for what I greet  Like an oyster shut tight, but free,  no waters can assail me with treachery  I didn’t expose my precious, noble butt  to the pederast’s intrusive strut  I am the flame thatContinue reading “Call me Jacob! Call me Yakov! I recall!: A poem “
