Best Planes Poems

I. Perdition.

The truth of the evil exposed
Shame not readily received
Truth, now attrition to break the spirit
More painful than the rod
That breaks the skin.

II. Penance.

Torturous the truth 
Speak of your own transgression
Repentance, in time, engage
The lesser pain at our command
Wicked man now confess.

III. Purgatory.

By your own...

On a flight to Auckland one day
A mother over hearing her son say
Cats and Dogs can have babies
Can planes do that maybe
Ask the attendant, see what she says

So off to the attendant he asks
Is it possible that planes do this task 
Did your mother tell...

There! a newsstand! 
Inside, where that man stands.
Nobody stops for magazines
he's owing for your glance.
He loves the print on paper,
and a craving for it's smell.
A broken soul dealt hands
of cards misfortuned you can tell.
Well, 
years passed.
His stand? the same.
That old lady stopped to browse,
but at...

Paper planes shoot across the sky
Riding the gentle breeze
Always missing the eye
Above the city of lights

Riding the gentle breeze
To all things lost on earth
Above the city of lights
Below the city of stars

To all things lost on earth
Always missing the eye
Below the city of stars
Paper planes...

Sometimes, we fly like paper planes

Gliding in the air, silent, with no roar of a jet.

Sometimes proud, putting on the mane like we’re never gonna hit the dirt.

Changing our lanes every time we get hurt.

With the least turbulence and bad weather

We turn around or pummel...

"Planes" 

Sea planes cross my vision 
the bridge gleams 
in all its shining golden splendour

laughing at me 
cajoling the dream
like I'm on an abstract mission

I paint the canvas in words dripping honey
amber coloured cashmere strokes softly brushing satin skin 
over you dappled deep waters and...

"Silken Planes"



Simplicity in silken planes
Silence took a flight of fancy
Sensate entranced me

I watched in awe as he sailed them aloft.
When they crash landed, I never scoffed
nor did I laugh when they hit the ceilings
for that would've hurt the pilot's feelings.

Stacks of paper were a staple at our home.
Not far from my brother's side did I roam.
Just...

The hinge squeaked when I entered. 
I found the string to click the light. 
I knew where it was even in the dark, 
even after so many years. 

This shop takes me back to days with my grandfather. 
The smell of fresh wood, 
and on...

We can go Astral travelling.....
You told me, as we were journeying,
Blink of a neuron, float in the ceiling,
Cosmonauts' sublime transmigrating,
Beautiful, divine envisioning,
Our seraphic transmitting, sublime,
We were out of space and time,
One night of ethereal blessing,

"We can go astral travelling........."...

When I made the first one and suspense-fully sent to flight,
(It was in our class room); entangled in a girl's hair-knot;
She screamed; scratched; principal fed me with lectures might and tight,  
Friends treated me, as though in a murder-case I got caught...!

Once, in an...

“We were right the world is wrong.”

Declare the Siamese twins

joined at the hip of policy of lies.


Bush and Blaire, that friendly pair

demanding, pounding fists

on podiums of Red, White and Blue. 


The dynamic dual declare

“listen people we two alone,

 know what is best for you.”


They ...

Over the cliff it goes,
Where is lands; no one knows.
Does it matter?
The wind takes it up - around, side to side then down.
Its outta my hands this time, only the wind knows where it lands.
But that place, we will see, at that point in time,
Complete...

Movement up above
white streaks 
dragging behind.  
It’s descending
slowly by the minute.
Driving down the lane 
then landing
in its destination....

They were able to see the sun at last, to look
all around, finally breathe without burqas
     begin a new chapter.
Their words held more confidence.
Is respect too large a word, perhaps not when
     whispered with laughter.

Wearing smiles and...
