Don’t have water as your daughter  And neither as your son  They will do their best to get ya  Then their battle is won  Fire and earth for priest-kings  God-kings when air and earth sings  There is none better than that brings  when the dragon unfurls his wings  If you can see the planets andContinue reading “God-kings, priest-kings and dragons: A poem “

Words are like butterflies  They have short lives  They simply get around  and then quietly forgotten without a sound  Butterflies have colourful wings  They can spawn, but they can’t sing  They are like flowers in the wind  No history or future they can bring  Can a word be like a star?  Aging and burning overContinue reading “Butterflies, birds and words: A poem “

The priests and scholars were reptilians  The kings and nobles were the dragons  The managers of slaves were the gods  The slaves were men, with all their odds  How men overturned justice’s applecart ? They seized power with their wicked hearts  They ruled the world and scalped the dragons  For over 2000 years, these misdeeds wereContinue reading “Of reptilians, dragons, gods and men: A poem “

I know memories are like sand in my hand  a wistful cheer, a river fleeing the land  The present is a disloyal moment, steadfast is the past  Childhood is a brief world with an expanse vast  Love is a warm, cosy, infinitely endearing blanket  It can make a treasure trove of a poor man’s trinket Continue reading “Dad and Mum, my darlings: A poem “

I remember that humid July  The streamers floated across the sky  And a blazing flame caught my eye  I remember there was hush across the street  And I had my happiness tucked so neat  through my soul, and felt my pulsebeat repeat  There was no rain, but I smelt the showers  In every nook andContinue reading “Since, I was not alone: A poem “

I can cook up what I want  Sublime dreams my castle haunt  I feel light as blackboard chalk  for my battleground is a cakewalk  There’s enough lampblack in my footprint  for all that I did and what I didn’t  Losses are just a matter of perception  Lessons learnt are a grateful reception  There’s simple energyContinue reading “I laugh and I cry: A poem “

I open the blinds  to bright shine  to clear the rust in my veins  and the keratin in my nails  Even heat can be chilling  when the will is not willing  So, I’ll throw the shadows out,  the shadows of doubt  Being what I want to be  is determined clear-sighted me   I may cross swords Continue reading “Open the blinds, the choice is mine: A poem “

All these lifetimes in humility’s umbrage  This composure, even as evil got coverage  And this lifetime, where history repeats  Its deep cuts on my armoured skin and feet  I am supple and endless, resilient and fearless  My foundations are underpinned by strength peerless  I have counted each particle of the infinite universe  in this wait,Continue reading “A warning to the one I love: A poem “

I try to be an open, undisguised book  For you to turn pages and take a look  Naked I walk, an animal in sunshine  Adam didn’t cover himself when he was sublime  The crosses I carry I drop at your feet  The woodchips to pick at like sheafs of wheat  You know now that IContinue reading “An open book for you: A poem “
