Accumulated Poems

UNWELCOME CORONAVIRUS
At a blow of the wind from nowhere no one knows
Into the realm of the unprepared spices that knows,
With supremacy in technology, medicine, research and economy
You have come to create a spot of vacuum in the economy
Dismantling social interactions...Read More

My ornamental bird collection,
Accumulated over the years,
Seems worth a cursory inspection.

I regard with the utmost affection
My lovely little avian dears -
My ornamental bird collection.

If you are looking for perfection,
My ornamental small souvenirs
Seem worth a cursory inspection.

My tiny birds have the...Read More

When is this book written
It was written the day I was born
When is it coming out
It is already out the day I started thinking about it
Those are the questions, little did the know

It is a manifesto of the love I...Read More

And having heard me, she said - 
‘We could drain the entire water of the Bay of Bengal  
And find no treasure at its bottom, 
Only garbage accumulated over the years, its weight 
Pressing the pure souls of the...Read More

A tiny world inside a tiny bubble
filled with danger and deceit
full of the world that they create
secret whispers in their shadows
within their darkness and their hate
in the world that they create

Slippery hands exchange the things that they defile
abnegation in the...Read More

 
Forty is a turning point. By then 
we have accumulated a past,
a road with a length. 

From this vantage, we see 
the course our lives have taken, 
where we have been.

 To our surprise, the road is not 
as...Read More

Some say the most honorable thing one can do,
Is to lay down one's life,
for a friend.
That is only a blip on the timeline of eternity.
I would say,
the greater gift,
is to give a friend's spirit,
a much needed lift.
To finally walk hand...Read More

they used
to say if
there's a
will there's
a way and so

i tried not
to live with
materialism
but given now
at my age i've

accumulated
dated and what
i thought were
savable things
thinking how

could i
throw
these
memo
ries away

so my attic
fills as does
my basement
one mouse filled
the other mold damp

mouse traps and
a humidifier can't
make...Read More

I took a long, thought-provoking walk
I jumped off the car, never knowing why
I looked out the window and began to talk
Accumulating anger got the best of me - I can't deny

I saw her kiss a man
Anger got the best of...Read More

Higher education
 
Learned knowledge doesn’t
Doesn’t replace the truth accumulated
During a lifetime.
Everything you learned at school,
The certainty you had, falls on the wayside.
They tell you about wars, but doesn’t
Explain why it happens, if they do
It is mostly some nonsense that suits...Read More

"This might be of no value to your  instinct though,
Losing my presence might cause your flesh nothing,
Basically to the wisdom surrounding this lost age.
But speculatively would hurt the cleanest and sacred spirit willing to direct you.
I need you every...Read More

He did not hesitate.
The accumulated grime on the plate
He peeled layer by layer,
Each layer accounted for a thousand years
Passage of Time.
He was an old warrior who had held the plate aloft
Open to the weather for a very long time
And kept...Read More

My love was serpentine to the touch
I can't quite explain it...the love of mine
Had gone away from my sight and such
I can quiz my mind to say otherwise, my bittersweet sugar wine…

Why am I extremely drunk off of utter fear?...Read More

Old Lang Syne meaningfully with gusto
Hogmanay celebrations in full swing
Revellers savour whiskeys afterglow
Watching square dancers doing highland fling

Laden snow clouds have accumulated 
Inky heavens to sheer mountain ski top
As frozen misty hailstones enshrouded
onwards from midnight chimes, it did not stop

Mechanisation...Read More

        My library has grown and grown,
      so many-  my shelves groan;
there are more books than I can ever read,

Go down to your deepest places,
Where the past has left its traces,
Go right back to the very start,
When memory began to chart.
Bring to the surface all the hurt,
All the accumulated dirt,
You have to give your soul a clean,
So once more...Read More

When respite was
deckchairs and picnics
on car blankets
behind 
windbreaks

Sand was blown
into sheltered spaces
behind
driftwood and
rock.

Dunes
grew
as grains of sand
accumulated
over time.

Then
winds and waves
ate away
at everything
in their path.

As resilient barriers
gave way to
the full power
of nature’s
destructive forces

The
erosion
cried out
for radical
intervention: 

Something 
to keep things 
at bay 
and...Read More

To forgive ourselves is always the hardest part
in this game of 'life in the flesh' that we play,
stuck like super glue to our hearts
when everything else vanishes away.
When all the dynamics, false beliefs, accumulated debree,
(those false beliefs we've held about...Read More

She shuddered at leaving behind
her mortal clutter.
Nevertheless, off she popped,
and her in her old nightie;
her hated daughter-in-law
still rattling in her ghostly mind.

She had interred a succession
of deceased cats.  Psychic clumps 
had accumulated
where spectral moggies muddled.
Tiddles and Ginger,
Marmalade and Blackie,
were...Read More

Our stupid silence
Sends screams and screams
And unheeded sounds called cries
Who will ever listen to our silence?

The bombs they send build balls of bad behavior
Which build mischief, barring us from prosperity
But because they are our bosses
They continue building their dreams
Driving forward...Read More

In the opaque distance transverses the lingering sound
Echoes beyond the darkness emits vibrations opposing the ground
The imposing clouds renders their shadows all around
In the metaphor of tranquility an endearment begins to come
The clouds are scattered and their tears are shared...Read More
