Lost in the Seams
Playing my own funeral March
Sit down tap out a tune
Didn’t know this would be my funeral
Stand before Jesus
Profess my sins to him
He says that is not so
It’s who I am
Bathing in dirty water
Come up clean prophecy
Bathing in Jesus
Looking for lost prophets
Lost in the seams
Lost in the seams
Search for me in deviling
Come up soul clean
The path is short I’m getting there
Still a beast in the in between
...
Sit down tap out a tune
Didn’t know this would be my funeral
Stand before Jesus
Profess my sins to him
He says that is not so
It’s who I am
Bathing in dirty water
Come up clean prophecy
Bathing in Jesus
Looking for lost prophets
Lost in the seams
Lost in the seams
Search for me in deviling
Come up soul clean
The path is short I’m getting there
Still a beast in the in between

Grief Isn’t Always Complicated
I think I’ve been preparing for the inevitable
We all are
We talk about it with logic and reason
As if that will soften the emotional blow
I’ve been preparing poetry in my native tongue
So that she knows how much I appreciate her
How much we love her…
She once told me that after she lost her two-year-old
Back in 1950
She didn’t cry
Like some kind of numbness washed over her
That although she felt sorrow and sadness
Stoicism helped her manage
While still taking care of her newborn
We somewhat deduced ...

A Thing Of Beauty
Hold me persephone
It's cold here
Amongst all the muck and mire
Sit with me on this starless night
Lonely wilted sun flowers
Decaying where Eden once stood
Sombre tears scarcely hydrate
Desolate wastelands
Over the distance
Phobos and demos
Marching lockstep
Scream havoc this is mars playground
Mine bones picked clean
Sun bleached monument
Empty eye sockets
Where the worms now reside
It's cold here
Amongst all the muck and mire
Sit with me on this starless night
Lonely wilted sun flowers
Decaying where Eden once stood
Sombre tears scarcely hydrate
Desolate wastelands
Over the distance
Phobos and demos
Marching lockstep
Scream havoc this is mars playground
Mine bones picked clean
Sun bleached monument
Empty eye sockets
Where the worms now reside

Ratan TaTa : an inspiring journey
full stop at the end of the sentence
sleep comes at the end of the day
the curtain falls as soon as the play ends
similarly, death comes at the end of life
and that night, the shadow of that tree sank
an ocean became lonely in Mumbai
and its shore got lost somewhere
time ended like water
the sun disappeared into the cloudless sky
the birds did not sing
the flowing wind and the flowers became sad
the eyes of the country turned into emptiness
