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 “

Where do I stand with you all?: A poem 

I know this travel/ travail, and my armour  being the trappings to tolerate the jungle;  even a jumble of deeds resonates, like  fierce howls of wolves. The battle cry  is no herald of victory, for a Trappist  who retained his austerity but forgot   his silence. My Goddess has sensed  my frugality of action turning into friction!  She cautions me, but leaves me to my   own devices. I am Platonic inContinue reading “Where do I stand with you all?: 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 “

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 have set my ground between Mars and Venus!: A poem 

I suddenly felt I was an ever-enlarged tower  reaching into the heart of the sky  As if I had become Sandalphon  The trunk of the tallest entity ever  I think of the days I became strange to Sol Invictus  And even felt lost with Ares  How every friend I had counted on felt like an enemy?!  Did the loneliness last an eternity?  But now, I think even Sandalphon  doesn’t hold aContinue reading “I have set my ground between Mars and Venus!: 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 “
