This Day & This Age

-

Weariness of a late-summer afternoon 

Delightful hues of the dusk

Leaves ruffling under the autumn moon


A nameless night 

Raining on empty roofs 

Blank  wordless walls in fright


Splintered debris of dezires

In Glowing gloomy embers

Growling In Dying despair


Shadows of the passing Moments

Weighing down the being

Burried under Blowing waves of  torments


Searing inferno on  hell's doorway

Dainty damsels on heaven's stairway

Oscillating  is the heart midway


Deserted streets damned and dank

A Dog howling in a shreik staring

At the lament list long and blank


Nothing to blame 

Nothing to become 

I, the fool, continue to Be

The Last Word

-
How many poems! Were written to you... Dissolving my soul into words I smeared it in my sweet angst... Your ugly unkindness lacerated my Being Gathering its shreds... I continue, to 'Be' In nauseating disdain I write, my last word to you: 'You are a mockery of all that is Woman' Words will be written; not to your titillating flesh,but to men and women Whose beauty lies in their intelligence; in their Character; in their fights; not in their made-up looks Turning inward I seek, to realise the Self... In reclusive musing  immersed in, pervasive consciousness

The Story of Life in a Room

-
Like all the rooms that make up buildings, this too was made of brick and mortar and had a roof. The window on the West captured the green foliage of  the tri-trunk Rain tree. The one on the south overlooked the sewer flowing in sombre silence,and also offered a view of  roofs housing other lives. A being named I  inhabited the Room's space riding the wheels of time in  aimless madness. On many early mornings when sleep still  eluded the weary eyes,  a name-less bird called to say, ' yet another day was born' and woke up the day to life. On the garish days of the year,  black bees pollinated the flowers of bright pink-white hues that dotted the dark green canopy of the  Rain tree. In  late afternoons, as the sun began its descent, through the spaces between fluttering  leaves streaming rays fell on the floor in quivering patterns of light patches modulated by the leaves dancing to the afternoon winds. When the  heat seared the spirit, I pulled the dirty drapes down the w

Language of the Night

-
What language does the night speak  To the multitude  beings on earthly space,  Wandering like specks of dust in a smoky haze The gleaming moon streaming shiny light Through the windows of concrete rooms Feeds the thirsty soul milky blooms Darkness' drapes unfolding at night's fall Pouring many a deadly glance Enfolds sordid spirits in silent trance Breeze in tender ease flows to hearts Soothing battered bodies on the way Waving its tender hands in magic sway Stars dot the blacky sky  In precarious flicker changing colours Rendering hope  its transient flavours Night does speak  In multitude of words To ears that hear
