I am sorry Coalition; you know that your oblivion is not my crime!: A poem 

I live in the air of the night. Like I was in a closet,  shut out from the noises of life. It is as if I can imagine  my cloistered legspace winding up in a roominess  of strange thoughts from inklings of the day.  And I feel encumbrances of emotions and awareness  love, grief, pain, excitement, benevolence, odiousness,  generosity, rage, brevity and longevity. Like allContinue reading “I am sorry Coalition; you know that your oblivion is not my crime!: A poem “

What do you think is my likelihood at decorum?: A poem 

Am I deadwood gathering mould in a forest  where it never rains, but is still damp and musty?  Do I feel the circle of cells in my trunk  collapse in lightless existence rung after rung  and reduce me to a stump? Am I not coherent to any design?  It may seem to many that I let go off myself…  that I committed travesty on myself for not  respecting my own aspiration…and would   you fathomContinue reading “What do you think is my likelihood at decorum?: A poem “

The pivot of life…And I am brave not weary!: A poem 

Did you witness a crunch time when all  comes falling back at you; and you just thought   you were the pinch-hitter. Now, the baseball cap  made you realise your strengths. I am just batting   like a friend (righteous mighty leader) in the distant West. I don’t   detect any anomalies in an unnamed friendship!  But the treachery against us, is also common ground!  Right from the timeContinue reading “The pivot of life…And I am brave not weary!: A poem “

My sweet puppy dog, Phunnu!: A poem 

I couldn’t even imagine the first moment  I lay my eyes on you, it would be so much  love; like an innocent knows the weight   of such beauty before he actually, witnesses  the object of it.  I wouldn’t be lying to say  I felt a surreal warmth and magic each time  I caressed your fur.  And you were so much   of a newborn puppy dog, and like I already Continue reading “My sweet puppy dog, Phunnu!: A poem “

Dear William Faulkner: Never be afraid…Likewise me!: A poem 

You can believe and have faith, and have fear  flushed out of the valves of your lion heart  Would they think they could insinuate you  if you did not fear? Or would you think they could  honeytrap you? Did they try every means to get you?  And you felt age is no barrier, not even undeserved punishment;  even pain! There is too much to loseContinue reading “Dear William Faulkner: Never be afraid…Likewise me!: A poem “

What constituted the artistry of my soul?: A poem 

All through the hectic vacuousness of my life,  when I thought I had so little, so meagre,  not even a half-filled glass; I didn’t question  the lack of generosity of Fate. I am not even arrogant  in my being above expectation. I am happy with  the fructose of soulful wisdom, than the   saccharine of the material. Did my art arise   from lack ofContinue reading “What constituted the artistry of my soul?: A poem “

I swear by the poetry of my soul!: A poem 

You see, when I started writing poetry,  I didn’t think it was of any relevance to anybody else;  I just wrote like a contortionist feeling the wires  of my soul twist with the expression, and feeding them as well  from the library of imagination! How different   is imagination from reality, if one is borrowed from the other? Is there more euphoric vividity in dreaming than merely seeing?  Sometimes,Continue reading “I swear by the poetry of my soul!: A poem “

Would I be moonstruck? Would I be wonderstruck?: A poem 

I was wondering tonight  if I could watch the moon   throw shadows in persuasion at me!  I am limpid as air, but not limping water  I am a chronic romancer, but no crone  Would you believe that Allah got Parkinson’s   in contagion with the crone he slept with?  I am as moonstruck as wonderstruck, tonight  that I chance toContinue reading “Would I be moonstruck? Would I be wonderstruck?: A poem “

Mother, how can I live to abandon?: A poem 

Mother, I didn’t erect gravestones for you,  because, though you were so earthy, I knew  you didn’t belong to this planet! So am I  lost in such utter alienness, that I barely feel  I walked beyond the planet’s threshold; what with  so much fish around! I just could hope  brother Jesus wouldn’t be called a fish; so, we   could uphold our love for him! I am just   feeling at aContinue reading “Mother, how can I live to abandon?: A poem “

I am just levitated in levities: A poem 

(Thanks to evils like Anthony Albanese and Prakash Saint Paul!)  You know, how can I love so much  when love can only be a folly to loss?  Do you think it is my fault, to wear my heart  on my sleeve? I only beget pain when it takes leave!  Do you think my love is a besottment that should be punished?  I don’t think myContinue reading “I am just levitated in levities: A poem “
