Lover Blah

He loves her very much

When it is dawn, he wakes up

Lets her sleep longer,

 Tucks her under the sheets

She sleeps well till

Morning is still morning

For a few more hours

He takes care of meds,

Warm water and tea.

Until recently,

When she said she would want her tea

Just made right

Still most nights

She is alone, in the living room

Until her mind goes blank and hands hurt

Keeps reading or writing or playing woodoko or 2048 Fibonnaci, as long

As it goes.

Not that she is alone

She finds peace staying by herself

Lest she find it hard to

Get up next morning

Words come out of his

Mouth as if shrapnel

She finds it hard to believe

That her loving mate

Can be so rude, that

She cannot fall asleep

During night, not until late.

Tonight her heart is bleeding so much

Unlike any night she can feel the pounding muscles of flesh like a machine breathing in and out, as life is nothing more than a mere oscillation, swinging between life and death.

In My Solitude

As the day proceeds

Into the bright noon

As the umpteen things

Needing attention

Beckon you into their

Swirl pooling purview

Where is your mind

Wandering in the

Lonely desert of

Time and space,

Crossing the several worlds

At the juncture

Leading you into

Times beyond times

Or those yet to arrive

You think you narrate

A poem or a story

Not knowing He is

That which you tell

Repeating what it takes

For Him to create

For a million years to come.

Ever Loving Sri Krishna

In this full moonlight

With cooing of kukkoo

Echoing from yonder,

You're telling me

That I do not think about

Who? You? I? or Him?

And insist that

I keep convention in writing

Says who? You? Him?

But then again

I don’t know conventions

So confusing.

I like to think

Regardless, always of Him,

You and I remain.

Zillion things

Pass my mind endlessly

Milling memories

His smile, touch

His hugs, kisses and more

Overbearing me

I speak nothing

As He kisses me deeply

All my senses lost

Millions of years

Have passed before

Millions to come

Love of my life

Krishna, don’t leave me tonight

My heart’s so parched

For your kind words

Your sweet smile, as you

Look into my eyes

Krishna

Dear love of mine

Hold me now!

Meadows And Marsh Lands

Of meadows and marsh lands

Nay not know, nor does it matter

As mind is fertile with lots of words

That is like a marshland,

Or when ideas sprout from

Seeds of words, from

Active young minds,

Very strong, bold yet need

Education or direction to

Understand the labyrinth of

Knowledge circles and paths

Rendering a majestic silver spoon

Amid chaos to children of the world,

Inside the wombs or some going to tombs

Never before was there a need this severe, so

Educate, encourage, elevate the lives and their doctrines..

Allow them to flourish, with care and love

Mighty heights, may they reach

Endless love showering

Never before!

A Poem A Day


A poem a day,

Makes you healthy, and

Wiser than thou!

I thought of

Writing a line or two

Way off you go!

Many a time

You pause, because

Muse is missing

Or so you imagine,

It is not true, is it?

Break of it!

Lethargy, has

Kept many a warrior

Lose battle

So, here it is,

My poem of today

Au voir, tu aussi… !

Do Not Run!

Out in the open

In this life of mine

Whether we met

Or have not yet,

Weather is quite foggy,

Windy on a harsh terrain

As I steadfast in my

Journey and you are

Angry and in vain

Waiting each minute

To plunge on a revenge

Against the time, or

People of their beliefs,

My friend of the life

Lost in pages of history

Don't wait for me there,

There is no going back

No UTurn to time, once

It starts, once and for all!

Will we meet henceforth?

All in good time, just

Wait until a time we can

See eye to eye, but do

Not count on it, that day

May or may not arrive

Evermore, even exist

Do love the minute things

That take you by hand

In this life or next, when

We may casually meet

And may not recognize

In this long journey, of

Things timid or daring

What dies as futures unfold,

Not sure anyone knows,

Except perhaps the tiny

Soothsayer in our village

Under the Banyan tree,

Next to the temple, across

The blue lotus lake on East

There you may hear her tell

‘Dear one, you had your turn.

Let go of it, now is the Urn

Waiting for you on the North,

Do not run, you will close

Way too soon, Aye men!”

Ballad Of A Southern Belle

It is no narration

Nor is a story about a Woman murdered, although

When you step into

Scene one, as you know,

Is a Woman found dead;

Husband calling police

Moving on to a quick swing

Here comes,

Scene two

Husband's girl friend advises to throw the body away in forest

With not a chance for a second thought

It leads to Scene three

Inspector Chuck investigates crime scene, what is it that he would find in  

Scene four

I wonder..

Body is not there in the chaos that came while letting the inspector and team in, body of woman not there

Just vanished as if into thin air

Scene Five

Is danger lurking in a dark corner

Team searches neighborhood and surroundings, horse back

As if in the house of never still there was something in

Scene six

Dawn leads to light

Revealing white butterflies as if light is streaming from an endless source from heavens

There is no evidence of any foul play, but it may mean the foul play cannot be detected, not that it didn’t  happen.

I am not a poem, the words started screaming,

Scramming helter skelter,

And running hither and thither

For words are human thoughts,

Exteriorly appearing as

They disappear into

Scene seven with such vigor,

Revealing the dark side of

Flash back never before

Of the back side drama…

Girl friend beautiful, rich, young, and advanced in a medical or sports career, not a physician nor a technologist.

Seduces the husband because someone paid her to put drift in the family.

Wife notices all the activity through the monitor in her living room

The electrician wipes away the “silicone gel” from the husband’s  private files

Wife notes down all the details

She comes out of her room and all the other men act weird.

Wife records the expressions

She knows it is a work of jealousy and plot to destroy their family structure.

One of them is more vested

He loves nothing more than the doom of the guys

Who move on with their lives, as though they cannot see him or his power,

That my dear, he thinks

Is a grave mistake

Wine pours like water

Songs getting louder, as the youngsters are waving hands and dancing along with their mates and their hats

Leading to no less than

Scene eight, hold on tight, to your guts

The family doctor nonchalantly, keeps prescribing narcotics to the woman.

Earlier the woman though tried to hurt herself, by overdosing as a reaction to unsolicited attention at work who need have no affair with her.

He keeps making foul play with his overwhelming interest, centered only to himself

But one is not used to live in world such as this, to begin with through

Scene nine

Court scene, about to convict husband.

Woman enters and surprises everyone

How doctor was helping the villain, how girl friend was a vamp

How the psychologist was actually supporting her to stay strong and tell the authorities, on who were helping the villain.

Indeed it was divine revelation that she knows that she has to take care of her family and herself and she still chooses to be with family and support them.

What just happened,

Wonders the husband

That almost got him unto the gallows,

Good grief my love, my beloved

Grieving and thanking and hugging and kissing

Until a different day on a calendar year..

So she grows strong, keeps supporting, knowing

What is it that runs life..

I wonder too..

A Constant

On a very dark night

With stars looking down

If you gaze at the sky

You find them moving fast

Some hundreds of light years away,

Travelling millions of space miles.

At one point of time,

I think the earth is standing  still,

As the space around it moves,

bridging the space, time and earth

Nothing  stays same, 

It is obvious we are

Changing  with time

As the world, so ages.

Nothing is ever constant

Except  that, changing time

Is the only constant, R..

 Are you aware?
