Mother, we have an illusion of too much sunlight; when there is too little starlight in the darkness!: A poem 

Mother, we have an illusion of too much sunlight,  when, actually, there is too little starlight in an   overwhelming darkness! Do you think there was  only darkness in the Church-imposed dark ages?  How every modernity that humanity pursued only  saw the darkness’ persistence in one form or the  other? Did you hold me in your arms, when I was  anContinue reading “Mother, we have an illusion of too much sunlight; when there is too little starlight in the darkness!: A poem “

Fyodr Dostoevsky, I acknowledge your beauty; do you see mine; and that of my armies?: A poem 

You saw suffering and pain, and called it inevitable  I know the intelligence of truth has always suffered  just like you did and felt your strength; and I did  in the throes of eternal treachery. The depth of your   soul, I acknowledge. But I look wandering aimfully,  sometimes, if I can get any too. I am alsoContinue reading “Fyodr Dostoevsky, I acknowledge your beauty; do you see mine; and that of my armies?: A poem “

My happiness is like a delaytory clock that can’t be wound!: A poem 

I wouldn’t give the Aristotelians the benefit  of credit, in believing that happiness is a matter  of your own endeavour! I just don’t think that  happiness can be lauded in a dystopia. I just think  that I had an amazing sense of humour through all my tribulations!  Was Philip’s Macedonia, the root of Alexander’s megalomania?  As if Aristotle would have schooled him in matters of conquest?  And I am sure that Aristotle was significantly complacent  compared to allContinue reading “My happiness is like a delaytory clock that can’t be wound!: A poem “

Is your love episodic, Jashmina?: A poem 

Is your love episodic, between  falling short and non-existent?  Do you respect my sacrifice for you?  Or do you consider it only as your leverage  without glancing back in acknowledgement?  Did you care to call me up  in any time of the tribulation I’ve been through?  Does it matter to you, that sometimes,  even God of strong diamond steel needs reasssurance?  Or areContinue reading “Is your love episodic, Jashmina?: A poem “

I can only warn you, you Laborers!: A poem 

The noises of a long-ongoing theatre  of shadow play from the submersibles  doesn’t deluge the starlight of my memories and convictions!  I am like an incandescent flame of myself  through every echo permeating through  each morsel of sand of destiny!  Do you think what is fated is not fated?  Or do you think your loudmouthed edictions  take the ordination awayContinue reading “I can only warn you, you Laborers!: A poem “

I lie in this wonder in the hope of that ultimate miracle: A poem 

(…free of the treachery of thieves and hijackers like Prakash Saint Paul, Anthony Albanese and their ilk)  Do you think love was a weaver’s factory  where you can predict what is ultimately woven?  I can say I found true love in a wicker basket  of a cradle; without being able to possess it?  Do you think I felt sceptical that I need redemption from the folly of such belief?  I believe, even if they compelContinue reading “I lie in this wonder in the hope of that ultimate miracle: A poem “

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 “

Mum and Dad, you know my story, thank you for listening!: A poem 

Mum and Dad, there is a lot I have to say  I always kept my grievances for another day  So, you must quite understand that I feel bottled up  like a shut home without any ventilation  Even when I was a child, I picked up skills   of communication, both verbal and written  I could evenContinue reading “Mum and Dad, you know my story, thank you for listening!: A poem “

I am a survivor; and still in one piece!: A poem 

(Prakash Saint Paul, you are a very small-hearted person, in fact, you have no heart or soul at all! You only pretend to be the sun because you want to eat all you can get to eat!)  I see a light shining on my face  And I feel transfixed by it  like a meadow hare  thatContinue reading “I am a survivor; and still in one piece!: A poem “

Do I have kith or kin, or just a lifeless poem?: A poem 

I have no elephants on my backseat  No monkeys to hand over treats  The duck is nowhere near my lazy feet  The fish has got me beat  I’m just not going to savour the sweet  It’s all the imbalance in my teeth  You can’t make me, no more donkey, to repeat  Even the ass won’t claim that feat  I’m just thinking nobody can, me, unseat  If you think I’m a ruthless cheat!  Let itContinue reading “Do I have kith or kin, or just a lifeless poem?: A poem “
