Is all this patient waiting for true love worth the while?: A poem 

I have seen the cold snowflakes rain down  on my life’s floor of solitude. Yet, not once  did I complain of the cold in my bones.  You can see that my home was always empty  beyond the loneliness of my voice. But I did  not once rue, for I sang a song of love  that brought down all these confounding walls!  IContinue reading “Is all this patient waiting for true love worth the while?: A poem “

How do I believe in the sum of all things?: A poem 

How do I believe, what is the sum of all things  when I add or subtract, multiply or divide  like all the four seasons comprised in one day?  What is the stone flung, that takes with it all possessions?  like a soul that must lose to maintain everything else’s equilibrium?  And do I call on Mother, Father, Lover,  forgetting each name,Continue reading “How do I believe in the sum of all things?: A poem “

Jacob thinks of Joseph!: A poem 

You know when it rained like hell  and the Nile swelled up, like an asp  that had overeaten, and the alligators   even took some lives of cultivators  Joseph looked at the skies, and informed   the Pharaoh that there would be years of drought  so, to stockpile for the drought years to follow!  And so, it was that theContinue reading “Jacob thinks of Joseph!: A poem “

Where does the story fall in time…: A poem 

Did I call on love…  in a life that left me standing alone  What did I forget…even myself  I didn’t even look at my shadow  I turned it over, away from my feet  that walked in their sinews, and in weariness  but at least they didn’t break like my teeth!  Do you know my fruits fell far away from my tree?  So,Continue reading “Where does the story fall in time…: A poem “

Would we be limitless, by ignoring our limits?: A poem 

Is the manifoldness of your knowledge  making a masterpiece or a stump of your comprehension?  Is the artificiality making a tangent of your cognition?  Or is it running like a parallel line, and will soon merge  with your consciousness making you an alien to yourself?  Would that be a submission or a submersion?  Would we know the infiniteContinue reading “Would we be limitless, by ignoring our limits?: A poem “

The worthless evil of treachery; God’s dust is not dirt!: A poem

(You know that God is not responsible for the downfall of everything he stands for! He is not to blame, because he risks his own identity from being stolen!) I agree with Sylvia Plath  that a poem is dust  But would we be so sure  that even dust must  consolidate, to make us form, all of us?  Sometimes,Continue reading “The worthless evil of treachery; God’s dust is not dirt!: A poem”

I am not King Ahah, O Jezebel of Jerusalem!: A poem 

I don’t think I was King Ahah to slip between the thighs  into an underworld, so demonic, that it tore my substance  and broke my spine. There is such power in allure that it  emblazons lust and breaks into an inferno, where you don’t   burn but submerge into brine. O Jezebel, can you even bely   King Solomon with your guile and spook his wisdom? Continue reading “I am not King Ahah, O Jezebel of Jerusalem!: A poem “

I have this conviction; I have this vocation: A poem 

Way back in my growing years, I lived  in a community that practised its Catholicism  quite unawares of the shakiness of its structure  of fervent piety on the undergrowth of an abandoned past.  Nobody gave a thought to revolt about forced conversion   being a crime. Even me, with an already hidden wisdom, at the age of four,  in my first essay on myself, wroteContinue reading “I have this conviction; I have this vocation: A poem “

I lived in unacknowledged kindness: A poem 

I have a relentless windswept notion of life  like a violinist suddenly losing his fiddle  and retrieving it with sheer magic, as if  he could airplay his creation, his music  I asked myself did I have any exposure,  a talent breaking out like a fledgling  And I thought, I am so old. Never mind.  What after aContinue reading “I lived in unacknowledged kindness: A poem “

You should all shut up with your hypocrisy and treason!: A poem 

Did you know I was like King Lear  who divided all his love, between you all  and lost everything, to a tragic betrayal?  Did you feel thorn-pricked at any moment  when I was eternally cold and despairing  feeling the pangs of excruciating pain  and I survived it all, only to save your souls?  You have allContinue reading “You should all shut up with your hypocrisy and treason!: A poem “
