Best Consequent Poems

TIME WILL TELL

A modest planet and quietly progressing
Troubling no other and fealty confessing
 Surviving well enough and paying its dues;
 Quiet corner of the galaxy. No foreseen surprise to bemuse

The ruling committee were in contented mood
 Agreements reached and cautious plans reviewed
 Coffee served. The...

I see moon-leaves on trees
Your cascade of hair too
I see passion in a blue spree
Waiting for me and you
And I say to myself in wonder 
What a moonlight splendor

I look at starlit mystic sky
Sprinkling love in your eye
So very close to me
Exciting the lips of...

To find an island floating somewhere in the middle of the ocean shall I go following the water as it flows? In spring, as a flower with the color of scarlet, violet, or canary; in summer, mount on the cloud passing by; in autumn, drifting...

From hunting comes 
From hunting drums
From hunting hums
All bright stars
Near and far
In New York or Trafalgar 
Those stars in skyscrapers
Those dazzling gold vapours
The government shapers
The controller of all papers
All go on hunting 
And keep counting
And measuring sometimes too
In the treasury

Keep your eyes open
The lids may...

As little child walked in the field of flowers,
  Picking and smelling them as she grows,
  The pervading air fragrance of Guava
  The majestic mellow Mangoes too in wet season,
  The atmosphere of green garden eggs,
  Caressing melody of crunchy...

With a deafening thunder
and blazing lightning,
Amidst a swirling clouds
of dark ominous smoke,
He appeared suddenly
Smack in front of me -
A most hideous being
who appeared neither
human nor a beast.

With a swift sleight of hand,
Before I could even cry out:
"Stop it. Oh God, please stop"
He plucked my heart...

Long time back you left
just right after you came
you took me away
and in a moment left me without a breath
left me with endless pain..

didn't see you with my eyes
but my heart was never blind
about your care and love
that filled my days and lonely nights..

My soul...

In his essay "Let's Be Reasonable" 
Rev. Todd Eklof [The Gadfly Papers]
reduces reasonable to logical;

This is a common left-brain dominant error,
confusion between deductive premises
and coldly reductive conclusions
calculated assuming cause v effect linear formulas
more than feedback loops
of complex neurological relationships,
ecological analogical 
experiential math
not reducible to algebraic...

I love not just those
I knew back then,
But those who were young
Back then,
But who've since
Come to grief, who,
Having soared so high,
Found the consequent descent
Too dreadful to bear.

With my past itself,
Which was only yesterday,
No, even less time,
A moment ago,
And when I play 
Records from 1975, Soul...

Four hundred fifty and seven hours
When all we owned were April showers
Taking a chance on a pixelated face 
Became the preferred post-coup de grace  

You elected against the unpolished show
When you tossed the dice atlas in tow
Our nerves had a knack for steering the...

There was a time when any thoughts with consequent emotions occupied me
Conversing was a breeze!
Writing about anything was far from difficult

Today, I spend moment after moment evaluating and reevaluating when it comes to writing

I enjoyed speaking
I enjoyed people

Today, I diligently search and gather whatever speck...

The proverbial all pervading calm and inner peace,
Stability is what we choose to call it- to earn greens,
To eat them, to share it or to control it. So escapable
Yet, always avoided. The veil of contentment ever
So fallible.

Moving from thatched roofs to brick and mortar,
Crawling from...

A parasympathetic parody in a par is neither equivalent to a vineyard crushed into a jar or a hammock in a cartwheeling car in a traffic jam. Human hypothesis having heaped havoc. And mackerel make excellent navigators in shopping trolleys. But putting a kilo of...

When the parents are gone,
the kids survive by heeding advice and carry on
their wishes by honoring their true intent;
flowers sprout and then bloom,
never living their fragile, little ones to a fateful gloom...
as sunshine nurtures them!


Glimpses may not give us a full image,
but they can reveal...
