Poet Introduction
i tried
when your heart wants to cry
inconsolably
finding a place
becomes hard
especially when one is
surrounded by people
all the time
sometimes
you just wanna let it out
let it flow
down the cheeks
on to the chest
the drops
the streams
the screams
finding
that quiet corner
is all what you think of
silence
truly becomes
more dearer
than gold
judging eyes
everywhere
perhaps that
is the reason
sight of the sea
and the crashing waves
that resemble

he died a desolate death
desperate
and uneasy
trapped
walls of bedrock
had no chance
thin air his company
his echo his companion
his bones
two feet
from freedom
two minutes
after his death
life
as it was meant to be
written by someone
yet
nobody 'knows'
whom
and uneasy
trapped
walls of bedrock
had no chance

his echo his companion
his bones
two feet
from freedom

a busy person
a friend of mine
fellow hater of whine
yet
can't help
but keep the spects
of skepticism
or more precisely
of cynicism
on
had enough one day
said mate
you're a busy man
you got time
God knows how
to judge and look for
misplaced grudge
from people
both near and far
not everyone approaches
with intent of war
yet your look out
for that
keeps ya peace
far away
let no ships
of grudge and malice
dock themselves
at yout heart's...

meet the anti-narc.......the queen of deflection
nothing out of the ordinary
just human
flesh and bones
and a humble demeanor
that is the picture
one gets
on the outside
and she keeps it
for self too
and then there
is the go-getter
the provider
the hard worker
who doesn't quit until it's done
mental strength second to none
then there's the
gentle empathetic and affable
carer
of colleagues
neighbors
friends
relatives
kids
and even enemies
so if you are a human
you are...
just human
flesh and bones
and a humble demeanor

a living tree mourns the passing of the storm
for the storm
brought to it
e v e r y t h i n g
it
ever yearned
made it bend
feel alive
like the moving life
that surrounds it
brought it rains
brought it winds
taught it dance
in a way
it never thought
it could
and that too
with its neighbours
whose canopies
forever
yearned to mingle
and when the storm left
there was desolation
and nothing else
.

a dead tree mourns the passing of the spring
deep
inside the heart
of the desert
it stands
dead
forever in mourning
of the passing
of the spring
more of a stump now
once the lush
green
shaped
by the elements
the winds
the sun
the earth
the rain
oh yes the rain
her influence
pretty much
its life
spanning
aeons upon aeons ...

..and when they brought tanks to the streets
a man broke rank
stood because
he understood
freedom
is everything
and worth
trying for
dying for
standing firm
staring death
at point blank
be it a sniper's bullet
or a column
of tanks

..and they ask why i write and what brought me here
i say to them
if i mention...
and before we even get there
get this
the mere thought
of her
takes me places
well not those under the foothills of scenic
ice capped mountains
but places
like ...
i cannot mention
or put across in words
let us just say
how would you feel
burning
twisting and turning
on a bed of embers
in a deep dark space
and then
being removed
to a place amongst the comforting bed
of flowers
of aromas
of sunshine...

the memorial
i go past
you
everyday i work
and
every single occasion
you make me think
realise
'tis
yes this
is the spot.
sometimes i
despite my best efforts
fail
and end up pondering
who?
was here last
who?
here breathed his last?
this spot now
where hung
are jerseys
flowers and poetry
gimme a solemn reminder
of a place now
of memories
my doof-doofing car
comes to a muted pass
no
not out of fear of death ...

hollow
is exactly
how it feels
when one deals
with a world colorful
yet lifeless
like the artificial turf
on a football pitch
green and vibrant
in appearance
yet lifeless nonetheless
loneliness
is not defined by numbers
though
it is but a state
of one
.

love poems?...barely seen any
love poems
i have found
so far
either popsicles of sweet nothings
or simply rough sex
and sadly
not much.
a love poem
perhaps would be
more of a charm
than a bunch of words
strung together
charm 'cause a love poem would in an instant:
turn a sunny day into beautiful twilight
drench the standing reader in desert in a downpour
bring fragrance of heaven in the midst of rotten surrounds
soothe the burns and scalds of the skin
quench the thirst of a mystic
a love poem is ...

the sound of joy
the sound of joy
though inaudible
is clear and visible
carried by waves
that behave like sound
that leave an effect
deep and profound
the vibrations emanated
are in fact generated
not at the source but
at the receiver separated
regardless of the distance
and length propagated
the laughter the giggle
is a gift that's divine
is infectious beyond control
of both heart and the mind
the beaming face emits
no audible sound
yet the eyes see and tell
shaking...
