i am the winter flower
stuck
under the sun
the cold
has deserted me
life
has me now held
i am the winter flower
gloom
is when i bloom
i am the winter flower
for light
i have no room
i am the winter flower
bright
is not for me
i stand amidst the graves
where i am
the company
i am the winter flower
i love
the freeze the frost
i am the winter flower
i live
amongst the lost
...

They say
poetry
is work
of art
and that
art
is the
dancing
billowing smoke
you see
above the
still smouldering ashes
of life
and
whatever
one holds dear.
Art
is
the dance of the spirit
rendered
in notes
ink
and whatever medium
it chooses
to emanate from

the 'hunter' gatherers
desert kites
no
not the flying predators
but the mega structures
ten thousand plus years
found across continents
and oceans
served one purpose
trap the prey.
funneling the herds
into
the gathering place.
not much
has changed...

today
i just sat
under the
sweet winter's sun
had
tons of chores
calling
but i ignored
took the folding black chair
to the front lawn
and sat
nursing
the cup of tea
the dancing plants
in their pots
some in bloom
some bare
kept the gaze
occupied
it felt good
the sun
i just sat.
there
_
later
from my window
i noticed
a black bird
on the same chair
which I hadn't moved.

compost
where life
gets real.
.
crushed dreams
rotten determination
decaying shell
of the former self
the sustenance
of the next cycle
of life
yes.
it does not
smell like Jasmine
yet
it does make
Jasmine bloom
and smell
her best.

her presence
the cold gulpful
in the middle
of the desert
under
the midday sun
shade
is her.

no bugles for the buried unknowns
masses
are held for masses
who were brave
though some are still
resting in unmarked graves
no masses
no bugles
or any marks of the masses
who lay unknown
under ruins overgrown
be it children
under schoolyards
or a house in Tuam
they too were fighting*
like the soldiers in Guam
they had no might
were considered blight
existence not right
so were made out-of-sight
are held for masses
who were brave
though some are still
resting in unmarked graves
no masses
no bugles
or any marks of the masses
who lay unknown
under ruins overgrown
be it children
under schoolyards
or a house in Tuam
they too were fighting*
like the soldiers in Guam
they had no might
were considered blight
existence not right
so were made out-of-sight

shadows on the grave
what difference
does a bright
spring morning
make?
for those
left behind
it is just
another reminder
of their wake
shadows
fall
they never rise
so do the droplets
from the eyes
.

...of unfinished monuments and odes that refuse to be birthed as words
they show a glimpse
brimming dams of light
ready to burst through
and so you go ahead
and reach for them
wasting precious moments
gravity
sucks it all out
before your toe
has left the ground
why is it that fate
loves playing
with innocence?
she once said to me
that those unfinished works
are but
true a r t
i may never know
but those yet to be born
do call out
restless and ill at ease
