A challenge

Every so often an impulse
Arises to compel a challenge,
A human decides to pause
Takes a breath to observe, itself.
Its body, it heeds its heart-beat
Attempts to hearken its voice,
Perhaps a volition, secretly hidden
Within, a core … CONTINUE READING »

Electric landscape

I hear energy stream impetuously
Through black lines above my head,
Copper cables on which birds take repose
From their impromptu swirling spectacle,
An unfaltering flight, winged acrobats
Clustering shapes, forms of fascination
Endeavouring migration, destination Spring
Following rays of … CONTINUE READING »

Madness of a smile

Her lips shaped to smile
As if she had been thrust
Into this world
For such a purpose,
Unable to hide
With no reason to do so
Her innate happiness
Radiating from profusion
Of spontaneous impulsive
Impetuous gratitude.
Indulging in … CONTINUE READING »

Could it be?

You make me wonder
Toss and turn in incubi
Of doubts, phantasmata
Of your raving cynicism
Carousing over corpses
Murdered by sardonic
Grimaces you generously
Bestow upon the living
Striving to ignore the rancour
Eating you up inside.
Disillusioned by … CONTINUE READING »

Zany creations

I see you, behold your every path
Ever since you were but a grain of dust
Floating space inside me as I grew

Dance, blind pirouettes … CONTINUE READING »

And my friend could actually talk.
Yet to … CONTINUE READING »

Mannish Boy

I sometimes forget you exist
Elsewhere away from my eyes
My reminiscences my reveries,
My lips my touch my craving you live
A life teach music to youngsters
Struggle with demons passing off
As confidants, whilst you secretly long
To … CONTINUE READING »

Ethos was the word

‘The genius of a people
Characteristic spirit
Of a time and place’
Ethos was the word,
That reawakened my fixation
Got me hooked after a chimera
Enchanted with an idea
Poisoned by reflections of myself
In the scribbles of another,… CONTINUE READING »

IF ONLY

If only I could show you
The beauty I see,
The creatures I gaze upon
Their delicacy.
Gifted with a mind
Only beginning to grasp
The beguiling wonder
That is their mere existence,
After millenary quests
Interrogations to comprehend
The … CONTINUE READING »

OFF GUARD

Caught me by surprise
Sun had got me spoilt
Rushing through the traffic
Of bodies lost in boxes
Claxons city rumours
As the sky prepares the debut
Of its latest drama show
Threatens overture
In a thundering deep tune,
Pulling … CONTINUE READING »
