As I sit defiant but silent,
Rant soft at the immodest,
Discard my real true self,
Me, a human on market shelf,
I stare at brown, tall, hills,
At sympathetic sparrows on sills,
Like them, I seek profound solace,
In some mystic evasive peace,
Beyond the lagged frustration,
Of unwound, fangless, passion,
Seeking rainbows in cloudless skies,
Breathe kiln air through vaporous flues,
Which relaxes my bones quite dry,
To recall what I learnt, I try.
Month: April 2012
Monday Thought
Be happy as can be.
Contentment soothes soul.
Tedium ahead.
Realization
The reed in the wind.
Hoping it is over soon.
Look up: sky, star, moon.
Non-receipt of a Reply
Stillborn thought of hope,
Expectations long belied.
Courier miss.
As I see you…
In your eyes, a thousand stars ,
From your blue veined body a billion flares
A milliard sparks of love the sky blazing
Each of the horizons lightning, dazzling,
Thunderbolts, charged realization dawning
A multitude of hopes, in me awakening.
For You , My Benefactor
My life, tranquil in your breath.
At your feet , my thought.
My tunes, through your bamboo flute.
Why I write (2)
The Silence of a bare auditorium.
I stand at the lectern prepared-
None to listen, all departed.
To the dim lit, cold corridor-
In hushed tones to ill whisper.
Empty egos network for future-
On nothingness they conjecture.
Intruders: ripples devoid of depth-
Handshakes distant, smiles in stealth.
Brags murmur, rehashed themes-
Usurpers to fame in meshed games.
I withdraw with a sigh, to write.
Why Do I Write?
I paint not,
I sing not,
I tune not,
I pitch not.
Life is hard,
Strife is sad,
Work is mad,
It’s a fad.
Love’s so far,
Dream’s a fear,
Night’s so near,
It’s nightmare.
None to bear,
None to share,
None to care,
None to dare.
A Portrait
Arched eyebrows, exalted thought,
Red, green, canvas: mute,
Gaze: sparkling, intense, still, cute .
The Smile
From among ornate blue bells,
Your smile a tale tells.
Enduring optimism swells.
