“The Dissolving Heart” 

How many keys
played for seeds 
bleeding a life

read, received 
cast out 
in the left field 

planted in the heart
of karma to become
new life reflecting

inwards out to another 
holding the echoing
music kept safe 

still heard 
and felt 
for what it is

keys 
and notes
found...

    There sat in opulent xanadu, the 
 demagogue of empirical hedonism, 
his granary once fuelled regal reign of epicureanism:

gregarious, restive, much-awaited successor of imperial dominion, 
neurotic, obstinate, was the cynosure of cynicism. 

The eldest child of Duke and Dutchess of York,...

Vishwamitra was enraged 
how he been duped 
by Deity King Indra
felt ashamed of 
lost all the virtue

after penance and asceticism
distanced from mother so child 
got back to penance.

left newborn in the forest
Abandoned by parents

I

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic 
Steady march along beaten footpaths

Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing
They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of our fallen ancestors

Ancient dejection above
Deploy your genius here
On this demesne
Extirpate...

which, of course, as everyone knows,
is something that we truly truly need, 
like a thneed.
Yet another car or truck
to insure and...

When I was born
Somebody might have thought, ‘he is going to bring wealth’,
It was hard to look outside
Though some might have thought, ‘he is going to be a visionary’,
I cried, I was innocent and I was well-thought-of
Someone might have thought, ’he will be famed’.
I wondered,...

My soul deceived me too long
It had tricked me
Told me I lacked feeling
That love is a River  
A day always longed for in the distance?

My soul deceived me when it poured
What lives in the mind of the great mind
It took away what I desire
I...

Closed shattered the walking desert!

Moving airy mind in the open sky
finds the wings

Everything is there
In this universe, a full of adolescent beauty

No, I really didn't bring anything
At the wharf of primordial unearthly female genitals

In the convergence of enjoyment
I am a beggar

No, I have nothing
Being an...

THIRUKKURAL: Translation of Canto XXXVIII with notes and commentary

Canto XXXVIII of the Thirukkural on the topic of FATE which I give here in translation (by stages) forms, in itself, a separate "book" in its own right, for it nullifies so-to-speak almost all the rest of...
