Kierkegaard, you liked to please yourself as Hermit, what sort of?: A poem 

Kierkegaard, I see yourself enraptured in the mildewed  woods of your own unexonerable crutch; like a river   that salinates before it reaches the ocean; and I fail  to salivate in agreement with your theses! You liked to   believe you were a Hermit? What sort of? I’d like to rally  that existentialism is an excuse for existence in discordance  with purity of self. I amContinue reading “Kierkegaard, you liked to please yourself as Hermit, what sort of?: A poem “

On Fascism, Democracy, and the unrighteous Leftist Church!: A poem 

Fascists are decried as fascists,  because Democracy is a poverty  of imagination, lost like an island   in a sea of populistic self-glorifying  Leftist (Communistic) dogma, that   has now found ample amenability with  the Church! This populism, that so pervades,  that altogether fails to make your dreams a reality;  But has you, with clandestine sinisterism, believe  that your vote counts! I don’t thinkContinue reading “On Fascism, Democracy, and the unrighteous Leftist Church!: A poem “

A matter of migration and Mum: A poem 

I walked the streets of my neighbourhood,  in Mumbai, along with friends; and we often  went picnicking on the beachfront, sharing  cigarettes, and birthday parties! We were a   thick group, but didn’t realise how casually   we fell apart!  I had no sustained pattern of   loyalties, allegiances (but for one particular friend);  Even patriotism was a dim word only refreshed at  the 15th of AugustContinue reading “A matter of migration and Mum: A poem “

This, my oath and missive: A poem 

(Trump, strange negative things have been happening to my body with those two injections, it is a long list I cannot enumerate! Thank you. Must I bear the consequences for other people’s sins! And must I not take my own recourse to revenge(!) and continue to persevere to be patient at my own cost!)  These bridges I will never burn, these beaten paths trodden  The famished soul soContinue reading “This, my oath and missive: A poem “

I think of my options, after much patience and restraint!: A poem 

The evil thief and treacheriser took all that was mine.  In his hand, his rapining blade was his lease, his lifeline!  God lived in spaces, heretofore, sublime! His cup was grail,  and, in it, the swirling juices were divine! And such was   misfortune, couldn’t call a free tune. Not even honey was   sweet taste, when all was taken too soon! Job would rather   be a hob(o)Continue reading “I think of my options, after much patience and restraint!: A poem “

Consubstantiation: A poem 

Where does a beginning begin, if it is self-consolatory  to pick up a piece in the middle and be lost in the impression  that it is the beginning! If you can rally around the underscored   fact that truth must have had a beginning itself… Or could it have   zeroed in, becoming itself without a beginning, evolving out of   a chasm ofContinue reading “Consubstantiation: A poem “

Dad, I fear this vessel of milk is splitting: A poem 

I was locked in a dream, a consolate dream;  that, though, you were lost to me in this lifetime,  I thought I’d stumble upon you, somehow, in the  alleys of time. As if in cavorting without a touted  aspiration, I’d simply conjure up a fate! That, should   you be in my arms, as my son again! The vainglory  of this aspiration is all but in vain now,Continue reading “Dad, I fear this vessel of milk is splitting: A poem “

The truth is never appreciated; my kindness was always misjudged: A poem 

You know, I have dabbled, at times, in self-praise;  It was because, so often, my self-worth had taken a beating  at the hands of the vilest treachery! I always felt the need to do  what was imminent to the necessity of the day! And, for it, I discovered  I was the bravest person in the world; but unacknowledged for it!   You knowContinue reading “The truth is never appreciated; my kindness was always misjudged: A poem “

Dad, there is nothing hollow in the purity of belief!: A poem 

O my poor Dad! What is the habitability zone?  I gave you Olympus, but how could we have  become like clouds dispersing from one another  in the torrential rain? I am not going to freeze in such   disparateness, I swear!  I am not mothballing  like an old trainwreck! All the inconvenience  of the ages, all the trapezing and walking on  Continue reading “Dad, there is nothing hollow in the purity of belief!: A poem “

It is four months into 2026; I want my mother’s help to ramshackle the villains!: A poem 

You know my mother was an honest 2026; all over her soul;  She was literal, never metaphorical, never conjugated to iambs of satire,  mockery, or mudslinging. She had duty and honesty written all over her soul.  They have always tried to make her seem disconnected with me;  I know she has always been with me, no matter what!  You know the maggotty faggotty sharksContinue reading “It is four months into 2026; I want my mother’s help to ramshackle the villains!: A poem “
