poetry of consciousness

TOMORROW

Invisible boundaries, standing
At the top of the birth tower the city is endless,
Plummeting, two hundred eighty metres to the ground
Chaos, confusion, frantic traffic ruled by anarchy
Eighteen million wandering souls musing upon

How to bring home the … CONTINUE READING »

I’D USE AN OAR TO ROW

Clear visions of my destinations
Run along the river of time.

A current of experiences left behind me
Afore me floating milestones which despite
Their oneiric origins feel achievable,
Realistically possible much like
Reaching mirages of edenic oases
In deserts … CONTINUE READING »

DISENCHANTMENT

My dear fish I lost direction
Miss your guidance it was easy
To follow you your wanderlust
Blindly grinning behind bubbles
You created flapping fins
Afore my eyes shiny globules
Hauling me to nowhereland.

Entrancing silvery reflections
Of that distant … CONTINUE READING »

PLAYFUL SOULS

He smiles, he laughs with eyes,
Spotlights on the unseen, he brightens
Up a place when he arrives, akin to me
His love is for humanity, joy the droplets
He showers over them, the thirsty
And those who do not … CONTINUE READING »

THIS IS WHO YOU ARE

In love lie truths invisible to eyes,
Enthused dilated pupils are blind, vision
Fogged by mist wittily diffused by the mind,

Blindly and though, all decant my lymph and … CONTINUE READING »

As he goes unnoticed, unheeded, unperceived.

He fondles the neck of his venerated … CONTINUE READING »

Gratitude

Woke up to light, in my life today
the sun rose for the 15,705th time.

For 15,705 days Earth has spinned in such
a delightful precise way as to grant
me existence, an abode in the bewildering
expanse of endlessly … CONTINUE READING »

Lower the Curtain

Curtain down on glittering smiles,
Children’s exuberance, adults’ laughter.

Curtain down on happiness,
The concept, the unalienable right, its pursuit.

Curtain down on comradery,
Unfeigned compassion, amity and goodwill.

Curtain down on playful youth,
Hopscotch, musical chairs, and sleeping lions.… CONTINUE READING »

Before it’s too late

Seek me, let passion lead you,
Surrender to the mellifluous impulse,
Luscious shivers down your spine,

Heed your skin, its yearning, its craving,
Concede to its dominion, hush
Your mind’s obstinate hesitance,

Relent to the enticement
The all-pervasive fremitus you … CONTINUE READING »
