I just can’t stay in this suburb! The Labor Party is harassing me on the streets! Every time I spoke about it earlier or reacted, I was punished for it! I just can’t have my life straitjacketed like this. I want to go to a non-Labor jurisdiction!

These cards up my sleeve!: A poem 

Mum, Dad and True Love(!)  Does that sum up my love,   or does it indicate more…  four billion score?  For, loving each of you  sets off a radioactive chain reaction  And the substance, at the core, doesn’t diminish, but increases!  You know I have dabbled with  clubs and spades, all through,  despite being the Ace of Hearts!  You can say I am a crossroad –Continue reading “These cards up my sleeve!: A poem “

If you have gone grey suddenly, without feeling it all through!: A poem 

I took the corner into tomorrow  Just like I had yesterday  And I felt how wrong was yesterday  If injustice could be spelt enough in words!  Even though, calculably existing, nothing felt amiss!  That just the thieves turning your evenings  scarlett with your blood; your flesh dripping from your bones  Despite the vestiges and vantages of strength your characterContinue reading “If you have gone grey suddenly, without feeling it all through!: A poem “

This poetry; is it the song of love?: A poem 

You know, this poetry, it can leave your soul  heart warmed on a curb of sweet-sonorous  onomatopiased percussive melody of first sounds!  In a brief lilt, like a wind in a recess that walks  you out into the wonder of new light. If you chose   to listen to the cryptic messenger as much as you   relax in the simple lyrics! I haveContinue reading “This poetry; is it the song of love?: A poem “

O Oread! I have no lymph for you, you unwelcome nymph!: A poem 

O Oread! Do not inhabit my vegetation  Your sackcloth or fur does not spur  any libidinous pangs in me! I do not have  any delusions, even if the crone stares  straight at me in her journeys. She is not my   spring or summer; I have sacrificed all of these  summers, lying in wait! I will not have Artemis  wrap her kneesContinue reading “O Oread! I have no lymph for you, you unwelcome nymph!: A poem “

All those seventies’ lyrics in time in Mumbai: A nostalgia 

There was that old Persian bakery that Dad took me to  in Bycullla, near my school; where they served bread  pudding. And I remember that it (the restaurant) had the sweetest of smells –  of creamy crusty rolls, like a patisserie. It also had a juke box!  That was the only restaurant in Byculla, I knew of, that had  a juke box! AndContinue reading “All those seventies’ lyrics in time in Mumbai: A nostalgia “

You know the lifeline came…in you: A poem 

How can I bring back association  with that little yellow toy train  and wooden toy carts  ripping my near mid-life apart  with the sheer glimpse of unconditional love   And a soliloquy telling me of the mirth  of a child and the sobriety  of growing older! And the progression  encapsulated in child-games of you  knowing your nursery rhymes and I  notContinue reading “You know the lifeline came…in you: A poem “

I read a poem about the Moon!: A poem 

I read a poem about the Moon  How she dances in the night  And holds everything in the sway of darkness?  And I asked myself  If the Moon was holding my disdain?  How much of it could she hold,  And not be submerged in the tide she holds cold?  Does she see the unwelcome signContinue reading “I read a poem about the Moon!: A poem “

Time for departure!: A poem 

I think of departure with words,  A brief, leaving me gasping for more!  And time’s treachery leaves so much abrupt  And the treachery of humanity even more so;  But I think my jetliner must depart…  to some place where I’m not sure I’ll end up  This is a bad start…and a false start…with no finish line!  But I am in a painfulContinue reading “Time for departure!: A poem “
