Artemisia, Part 2 of 12
(It was 1860 when the English poet Robert Browning
stumbled upon an interesting artefact as he walked
through the city of Florence.  It was a file of documents
from an old Italian criminal trial, and he would turn
this material into his masterpiece, "The Ring and the
Book".)


The Old...

In These Historical Times
You aren't anybody to the plinth in the workforce.
Of course, I know of your success.
My money does not have anything to do with you; therefore, why negate a 
     nation’s wealth.
If you just would abide by the Constitution, your achievements are...

House of Fear - Part 1
A young man named Jonas stood at the doors
Of the house that had haunted his dreams
As behind the ornate, hand-carved oak
Its interior was not all it seemed

People entered the doors, then disappeared
It was the last of them anyone would see
So Jonas had made it his...

A Duet Sung Alone
A duet sung alone

I know now how confusing 'twas to find 
That I loved my love walking one-way street, 
Knowing, she seldom with my love was lit, 
Her heart was but with love of friendship lined, 
Whilst silent was my love, clueless it came, 
Hers,...

Chasing Identity
In the dark corner of your eyes so faded,
See the life threw a glass of shattered wages. 
Using those to create a world with wrong perceptions, 
Money, lust… and a whole lot misconceptions.

Trying to reach the standards of those with high titles,
Pretending to be an...

Ekphrasis
Ajanta, Ellora caves HD film capturing paintings and rock-cut sculpture 
Caves carved from hills, immaculate top-down orthodox architecture
Modern monuments rise from plinth, CAD down-up structure
Meticulous paintings on dark-at-noon high cave ceilings
Difficult to adjust in one go zoom-click all finer details of paintings   ...

How Selfish
All for one
None for all
A house of cards that will
Bring about a great fall

Only a select few
Can spellbound the masses
Becoming Kings and Queens
With illegitimate claims to fame

We lift them up high
On a plinth made of our backbones
We the new third estate
Glorify them as demigods
Who conquered...

Crafting a Monumental Structure
Apprehensions in thoughts may form a labyrinth,
and like a cipher open up to become a plinth
but still the belief beholds to achieve what is imagined,
Though in a fog,the wanderer still feels attuned,
Let it be light or the approaching darkness,
but it isn't a mirage showing its...

Within An Ancient Song - 3
Professor Henderson did pay no heed to the call of his wife. She shrugged her shoulders as did I. The Professors wife, Abigail, she left the hole with my assistance. We had dug to the ladies shoulder height. Once up she did walk away but...

Spaces I
I am Späces
The poet's muse
And I bring something old 
And something new

The spirit of the word am I 
And I've existed in all places 
And all times
Filling the gaps
The empty spaces in between 
What we say and mean

Recognize my face?
Familiar, the cast of my eye?
Many...

Rest All Illusion
birth
death
God's will      

Life in between
we live 
as per our will

cry marks
arrival
departure

we try hard
to laugh
during stay

love Body
live for Soul
aim salvation

dust Soul
not mirror
Soul reflects true Self 

accumulate 
good karmas
liberate Soul

Bad Karmas have 
Octopus grip 
prolong Soul's bondage
   
let good deeds...

Sun Pillar
The breath of the north savages the lands.
A cold that singes my bones to their core.
The air contracts while the night expands.
Sunset foreshadows of what is in store.

With the clouds compressed into flecks of ice.
The purple of the shadow surrounds the earth.
An elegant vision; This...

One Lovely Hypocrite
You're messed up but im broken 
Drowned in denial 
Was every thing but alice's wonderland 
Took us long to come up with the unspoken
Reality ... too cruel to understand

I'm guilty for wanting to hang loose and breathe
Promises turned into filth
Intuition feels wrong to have felt...
