The story behind this poem
The curiosity of many of my readers (many of them women) was excited in my previous poem ‘Passion in Black and White’ POTD 6 March. They wanted to know more about the ‘Magical Tree’ and Café’ in the poem.

My mother Late Rajrani Kapoor devoted her whole life,
for the love and care of her husband, 
My most wonderful father (Late Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor) 
Who had given her more pains of separations,

The lowly turnip
Earthy, fleshy
Roots falling from its eyes
Fed to  livestock
One of God’s root crops
Yet deemed  untasty
By most palates 

Carrots and potatoes
Receive accolades
Carrots in orange party dress
So crunchy and sweet 
Fit in the school child’s lunch box
Potatoes in russet  brown
Mashed, fried and frittered
Prized...

You are my pest-friend,
As you may not know,
And I deem it my pleasure and privilege
To write this panegyric of you.

Mostly chocolate brown in complexion;
And very rarely, if ever, you produce a freakish white.
In your worldwide family, 
I don’t think incest is a taboo.
I am no...

Forbidden as the fruit in the garden of Eden,
But is merciless as man's carnal desire.
Similarly ripe and succulent,
And provoking instantaneous salivation, 
A desire to taste.
The oasis in a desert of heat and sand,
Quenching the instinctive thirst of man.
The bearer of fruit, 
Giver of life,
The garden...

Hello friends 
I am coming back after a long gap during which many things happened. I lost my dear wife Shashi in July 2017 who was ill for the last few months. She was not only my life partner but was my inspiration who helped...

Birds go crazy
    In round cages





*my bird guru would seek out round bird cages listed for sale 
  and purchase them to destroy them

  he told me that goldfish were similarly affected in round bowls

  makes me wonder......

Relax,
Get in the mood.
Elevate your state of being
we're about to create
a bond that can't be broken
as your mind creates sense
of all theses words that are seen
but never spoken.

Let us melt our beings into complete darkness
and live a thousand lives as criminals
whom refuse the rule of...

of Knowing Thee

     …Of Thee
holding peace…Glory
 overlying, fine/
quite sheer radiance
overall/
     dimensional
The Omnipotence of Thee 
Most Holy I-AM…
nonperiel
— infinite — intimate —
pervasive Divine
enduring Breath of Life 
composing the songs
   of legions of translucent angels
opening petals unseen

** What’s Torn **

What’s been torn off or away may be
a recurring theme — of dreams or memory —
that nags, popping up unexpectedly
to recall or, for dear losses, again grieve…

The things thieved 
from life — as divinely conceied,
like the Amazon forest’s trees — 
don’t leave,...

A Painting Unsigned
Written: by Tom Wright
December 2014

Rooftops, at dawn, were covered 
With luminous frost,
Appearing today, professionally done 
While I lay sleeping;
The grass and trees likewise being 
Similarly embossed,
While from the east, a rising sun, 
Is peeping;

To erase each rooftop, blade of grass,  
And un-leafed...

War without weapon
=================

War takes place with
The help of weapons,
Weapons win or fighters win.
God alone knows.

Can a fight take place
Without weapons? 
Yes, fights do take place
Without weapons.
The weapon is your mouth.

At times the words 
Come out of your mouth
Are more painful than the 
Wounds created by swords.


Sharp weapon is...

Picture, if you will, two orbs of light
where dreams and reality embrace.
Both lie at the darkest edge of Night,
superimposed on ebony space.

Sharing shades of a violet hue,
they seamlessly brush darkness away.
And as more colors come into view,
they adorn the Night's starry array.

Similarly, they flaunt paradise,
dual...

What Kind of People Are We

In a Shakespearean sense of tragedy and doubt the well-used
“To Be or Not To Be” from Hamlet is not the question I shall
discuss in this narrative. Rather, I shall consider a few things
concerning the current Middle Eastern and European migrant
situation...

Come you lonely bird!

-----

Walking forever in this same lonesome street!

Still waiting for my special someone to meet!

I have passed beyond the best of my years!

With each step forward, the blind end nears!

Know how far I've come, not what's left to go!

It has been hard all...
