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 “

To Saint Paul, the Church, Anthony Albanese, the Labor Parties, the Left, the UN, the EU, the deep sea, the Moon, Allah and all the origins of conspiracy against me!: A poem  

You know you can’t widow a bird from its Godhood  When that little lyrical bird dies   it flies to its God; doesn’t drop into the sea!  I was tailor-made to do my duty  You can’t now keep crushing me by throwing chess pieces at me  You can’t even have anyone I love, for with your relentless crimes against me,  you chose to dispossess me. I am notContinue reading “To Saint Paul, the Church, Anthony Albanese, the Labor Parties, the Left, the UN, the EU, the deep sea, the Moon, Allah and all the origins of conspiracy against me!: A poem  “

I only made a choice, but it took away my voice: A poem 

How could I feel the gnawing,  of grief in silence, without crying,  and know that this illusion of being home   was not mine, since there was no picture of you?  And feel I reside with such unkind reservation  that keeps me from not shattering the windows  and plucking out the thunder from the skies  without the lightning piercing my heart?  What stores the gold of the soul  I sharedContinue reading “I only made a choice, but it took away my voice: A poem “

Would the question resolve the problem?: A poem 

Does it befit a world to be in an Auschwitz of souls?  Would you want to settle in a dystopia, where belief  is founded on the bedlam of truth? You can be the water  of your soul or its lunacy? But I am never going to   vouch for it! It is not even my bedlamp, lit up in   my sleep! I know whoContinue reading “Would the question resolve the problem?: A poem “
