Best Nullifies Poems

There are those who say the moon has no voice
That it hangs alone in icy silence
Mocked by the twinkling of jealous stars
A corpse illuminated by cold darkness

The Werewolves would argue in her defense
For without her they would know no passion
Feel not the surging power of...

Villanelle: No man can on his own escape written fate

         For Thiru-Valluvar, the “nameless” author of 
the THIRUK-KURAL

Note: In my previous posts, especially on Canto 38, I had expounded
on the man and his work in relation to...

Sunrise, Oh aural hymn of spirituality,
Vibrant in it’s splendour and magnificence,
Sending nocturnes to daytime slumber,
Bathing life to a yawning earth.
 
Piercing the day’s birth with colours and hue,
The Master’s tableau, a glorious canvas,
Fiery paints, swirling strokes and defiant beauty
The bright facet of the world’s axial...

Where diamonds shape a lantern
harlequins are taunted in jest,
which inaugurates the conviction
attracting an upheld stance.
They stare like a drastic mistake;
thinking it was a corn snake.

Warily, from side to side, surprise!
one way or the other fully fixed; 
around those surrounding sceneries 
hypnotic is the way its...

Scar-like Healings
               by Odin Roark

Scar laden perfections
Where life's training wheels balance
One's child-like trust
Adolescent-like daring
Adult-like intemperance

Scratches
Bruises
Broken bones
History's incidentals heal easily

While

Challenges of the heart
Stalemates of the mind
Failure of one's dreams
Make endurance the battle...

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...

I have been twenty-seven for many, many years now,

                 some Viking reminds me that swimming naked in the

Torah: Black Fire on White Fire, A Nafka Mina

Every Place, every Space,
In ink, 'tween signs, ‘tween lines,
Everywhere He, Where are we?

Ask, "Mi Hashem Aylai?"
Not, "What's in for me?"
Descent from Kedushah is "I"

Ego, Ugly Mess, Rears our Smallness, 
Whether in "I" or Mired in Man,
My Hand,...

When I'm Gone

 

Will you get to know me
When I'm gone

After endings evolve into
New beginnings
When questions cease to arise

What is it about another's presence
That so often dissuades inquiry

What is it about knowing someone
Up to a point that signifies
Satisfies
Nullifies
And indemnifies against loss

Is knowing someone
Dependent on personal...

The inerrancy of the bible enrages me, 
Boils my blood, riles me and angers, 
Makes the interpretation prerogative limp, 
Nullifies that interpretation bud passed onwards, 
From every author who’s not embarrassed. 

You read knowing the art of literature, 
Is in its reader’s agreed distance from...

He is despised by many
But he seeks the love of any
He sits pleading for a penny
But she does not help no,not Amy

He is mocked for his features
But he paints better pictures
He loves the wrong in all creatures
As he nullifies war's fixtures

He soars above the rest
As...

Timid upon standing
Flailing at equilibrium
with outstretched fingertips
Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable
for now and conceivably forever

Anguish consumes the frontal cortex
as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically
Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst
for pleasure and unapologetic indulgence


Sedated and aloof
Injected with a serum that nullifies
cerebral...

Pondering as one does

With nothing else to moan about

The meaning of life

I needed a metaphor to use
for inspiration

Until i came across

Schroedingers cat

Visualising the old t.v test patern

And wondered is if the freshly cleaned
litter tray put out this morning is
now in fact still clean or now...

Keep inventing, strive for more
Create past the point of boredom, it's all from the core

The great wall, a human invention, can be seen from space
An ancient civilization made that impact, why stop striving for the stars if that's the case?

A message to the mad, a...

All have to depart
Sooner or later
None stays forever 
Key is to master Exit Art

Soul sans body
Continues Divine journey
Revisits earth in another body
To mitigate balance 'karmas'

Birth-Death cycle continues
Till 'Karma'* balance nullifies
Soul then loses
It's identity to Nothingness

You are a tiny character
In infinite cosmic illusion
Honestly, play your role
Before...
