The bright shine on my page of vivid words  is like a circular wind that lofts birds  I think, I have the answers to the trivia of the world  that paradise can be regained from where it was hurled  I take the page, fold it and put it in my pocket  somewhere close to myContinue reading “Words in flight: A poem “

Let’s say, I grew sixty all of a sudden  I can’t figure out how I lost teeth  and my shrunken feet or the wheat  of my skin drying up, my chest less,  cataract and subtract of vision  The wires of my mind can remember and forget  the beads of youth rotating and not repeating  IContinue reading “My faith kept: A poem “

The roses in a brave soul  do not wither from the cold  The coal of the horizon is gold  for the selfless to behold  Though evil marks boundaries,  scales walls, builds foundries  The battles are far from over  Destiny doesn’t run for cover  If defeat comes with duty,  stoicism be fortitude’s beauty  Let not shackles bindContinue reading “God knows whom to blight: A poem “

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 “
