paramporul~ the god particle
[in the details…’it' breathes & conspires...]
sugarcane inflorescence sways silken white
in its gracefully maturing greyish ribbon
hairs..bears the mating papilionids stuck over
each other in devotional renditions
of a stilled mesmerize...
suddenly flap in a wake of ruffling flutters
just when the vermilion painted lady bird beetles
hypnotize at the bud tips & tanning sun
that’s gradually in a romantic dimming
of the yellow slanting holy turmeric
limelight into
a crinkly charred darkening in a hauntingly
digging chaos of the stridulating crickets
with a rarity reversal curtaining down
in their tighteningly stuck closing up
touch-me-nots…orthodoxically facultative
in a shrunken bridal shyness...against
the drooping down fragile melancholy
that these white-widowed capsicum buds
are poignantly hung in a quizzical phasal
clashing intermediary of a faintly reminiscing
to almost forgotten inborne pungencies…
((existential bubble bursts eventual unto ‘its’ un-manifest ??
bubble . a bubble is a parallel 11 eleven
grilled bars of its own isolated Andaman island’s
Kalapani Cellulars… jailed in a flash of moment
..even the light fails them to be their so-selves
‘No Fear No Fear Never Fear ..Fear is never ever there’
proclaims the red rebellion turban poet of freedom, Bharathi
boldening ever unknown to fear, just to be in the ousting and
busting out the inner demons & those nacreously veiled evils
your tangentially drawn & provincially divisive
pillared walls of plundering tactical equations
in blindly bloodied shoot outs of your
unleashed fascistic Generals Dyer’s
bulleted rounds after rounds without any warring siren
…in a maniacally enacted Jallianwala Bagh massacre
within your ruthlessly fallen enclosure of piled up corpses
wouldn’t deter its unimaginably conjoined…the impossibly
bent O of its Oneness Om- the God particle of Cosmic
Consciousness in its vacuity of nothingness newness-
~'It’s' an endless micromacrocosmic reservoir~
this burning hunger…
is not a deserted death in vacuity
…its that coital clutching of our remnantal umbilical tissue
in its infinitesimally infinite bled shreds & illumine dusts
clumping as beautifully laboured births in breathing
nascence
and this heady quench...
is not never in an awkwardly gulped fulfilling
complacence, of a noonish lazing swollen python
in its still struggling wriggly devoured prey
it’s that serially butterflying wavy dotted
lightness continuum in a geometrical kolam
....an infinitely infinitesimal left out spatial ignorance
of a child’s curious blinking peacockish eyelashes

My Dad's Wedding Ring
My dad and I had a complicated relationship
I've written of this before
About a year ago I found his wedding ring
To honor his memory I wore it for the past year
Then suddenly 2 nights ago took it off
Returned it gently to a metal box on my desk
I realized yesterday that I can't wear that ring again
He was a quiet man who kept his entire life secret
I am a poet and an artist
Everything is out in the open
He was always moral
I've had issues with that
Wearing his ring was an honor
I can't be him
I wouldn't want to
I don't think he'd want to be me
Flesh and blood
Even in death there is love and protest

See, the system can’t tell the one who wrote the poem apart from the member who nominated it. For competitions where poems nominated are voted on, Webmiss comes in after some time, and she sets it right, being the only one who can. So brother Tallen gets to have the trophy on his wall for the time being... keep it well-polished, T.

Thank you for the clarifications. Maybe I should spend more time educating myself on how this place works and a lot less time reading poetry.
And not to be rude to you, Jade or Tallen, but if I wanted an opinion to my comment I would have simply asked for it.

Was only meant as an education for not just You but everyone who didn't know.

Thanks for clearing this up for people. I have updated the winner now. A recent change means we can at least see the winning poem immediately, as the winning post is highlighted within the thread
