The day gave my brain something to chew on. Why humans are inhumane? Why are they ungrateful? How do they let go those who stood by them during critical times ? Why and how do some people change colours just like Chameleons? How can they be so pretentious? At the same time how do theyContinue reading “THE DAY”

The Pursuit
A shadow unheard, unseen, hidden Behind the curtain of my bemused mind, Heaped before my rolling black balls, And then devoured by my self-esteem, Waltzed up:Hey You, The Purpose and The Pursuit, your Aspiration and The Realm, The Path and the Followers, Recognition and The Rapport, The Outcome and The Desire Is the snaky trackContinue reading “The Pursuit”
Thanksgiving
How do I thank thee? History in black and white Is now colourful. While historians were busy digging an empty hole, you dug a dry land to find the invisible without letting it glide over. Discovered, the invisible became a torrent. Not many can do what you did, read the thanksgiving. A woman alone surpassingContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
A Pair of Effeminate Legs
His legs are streaky, his thoughts are bigoted, His words are sugary, insincere, only frictional. He’s dramatic, thinks he’s capable of creating An impact wave, the waves fail to hit the shore. Thinks himself as an intellectual, imposes himself with the blunt sword made of mud upon the poor folk. Highly ungrateful, floats around tryingContinue reading “A Pair of Effeminate Legs”
Dunes
Up the ladder of thoughts, Steep through the steps of dreams, Walked I trembling to grab a grip. The poles of the desert waving while grinning, foreshadowed to be stagnant. Sirocco! Those heads within the dancing dunes whistled passing over my destiny! Sudden, I hear nature’s music! Gentle and undefiled, I felt tears in theContinue reading “Dunes”
Mud-Spattered Mind
Do I fit in a frame when intellectuals are caught? Can I stammer some sense where orators outwit? Can I learn the art of being wise from the learned? Can I speak what I see fearless of what I lose? Can I be deaf to stupidity, natural nonsense? Do I turn deaf and blind towardsContinue reading “Mud-Spattered Mind”
SCRIBBLED NOTE(Prose Poem)
Induction of thoughts in the benthic Pursuit of emancipation, notes scribbled hid in a woven nest, misted with Arabian perfume. Virile, the barometer of self satisfaction. Dusted, I took out the fresh page of my torn book. Pristine, bruised I smelt it, on turning further Staggered a little, to espy the still anew faded whiteContinue reading “SCRIBBLED NOTE(Prose Poem)”
Dance of a Phoenix
No mythical bird, No trace in Greek legends, An eagle, not of Arabia. Her beak sealed, legs tied, Wings broken,eyes pierced, Towards the pyre, a clap of wings. A nimbus invisible, illuminating, She, a sapphire and Sun. Resurrected,another clap of wings. Beak unsealed, legs freed, Blue eyes igniting Him. Exceptional she, like a Peacock DancedContinue reading “Dance of a Phoenix”
Arun Joshi and His Strange Billy
_ I swear, Billy makes my eyes well up every time I think of him. Published in 1971, Arun Joshi’s The Strange Case of Billy Biswas is worth your time, soul and conscious. Having read it for the fifth time and feeling Billy, feeling for Billy very often without further reading, let me confess, BillyContinue reading “Arun Joshi and His Strange Billy”
Winding Wind
Whirls, befalling the shrubs The desert borne heavy Crushing it to micelles of twigs Biffing vigorous onto dunes. Crust decked with dots Red and Black not a yellow patch. Thuds, rips, bang and buzz A whirlwind shaping into a Tornado Ides of March, dubious me The tip of a finger pointing For me, towards me,Continue reading “Winding Wind”
