I know too well bush from thicket  For the grandstand, I have my ticket  I can play too on a seeming sticky wicket  Yet, this be no time for playing cricket  I have seen my precious pieces fall  Yet my queen, she stands so tall  She lets out a loud rousing call  when we areContinue reading “Strength in few numbers: A poem “

I never questioned fate  with the lion at my gate  The unicorn’s feather weight  is my lifelong engine’s freight  I have saved each day’s patience  each year’s indiscriminate silence  Decades have given me the licence  to roll out the carpets for brilliance  I am the motto of spirits that weave  multitudes of fanfare like theContinue reading “Regaining love: A poem “

With the skeletal remains of today  I have residues that will lather tomorrow  I was born like that, holding out to the blues,  the reds, the greens and the yellows, and crimson as blood  I almost died in my mother’s womb  But a grace, a prayer, was a garden  of sustenance. All limbs intact, IContinue reading “I just couldn’t die: A poem “

At the tableland uphill where the gods sit  watching collaterally as the hands shift  The moments of dark gold in time’s sift  The theatre is a parade for fools, with no gifts  The insignia are in the pockets of those who know  Emblems are locked in chests that they never show  One can wish to leave,Continue reading “Jailhouse rock: A poem “

If we could simply count all the stars in the sky  would that be an omen that we will never die?  Or will we wait impatiently for cures from AI  and smugly sit on our laptops and never ask why?  The carpetbaggers spit honey for our morning tea  But our cups are brimming with theContinue reading “AI: A poem “

The limestone owl in the garden  reminds me of you  I have no vowels harden  in a love that’s true  It was shaped by love  and didn’t need any glue  I know you are all above  It is my conviction and my clue  There were times so many  in pastures filled with dew  And youContinue reading “My darling baby boy: A poem “

You live in my cuisine  in my heart’s magazine  My walls are stone boulders  For you, they are tin  I walk in wide everglades  in my dusty suedes  And when I look at the skies above  your silver screen never fades  In moments of memory  there’s a tryst with antiquity  In the rewriting of history  Continue reading “I look to you: A poem “
