Best Unlearnt Poems

Journey starts
Kunming portraits;
Highway song


Here old and new
Merge yet apart;
Vignettes juxtapose


China welcomes
Both ancient and modern;
Sign of the times


Tour group confronts
Unfamiliar grounds;
Rough edges grind


Quaint ways of old
Ancient tales displaced;
Modern day norms intervene


Spectacular vistas
Natural wonders;
Man seems insignificant


Flood tide drowns
Flushing away;
False assumptions destroyed


Gust of wind
Reveals new passages;
Knowing does not...

I caressed your body all along the day,
Planted my affection on your lips
Surely it will stay there forever.
Hope, will stay there forever.
I was a man of great dreams and desires

I never treated you a subordinate eve
What I gave you was privileged pleasure
I never gave you...

With hair from our fathers body we were dressed to impress.
from the finest weavers who were especialy blessed.
Fruits made to make you merry as the food was shared.
with hoots of laughter carrying the old ones now unaware.
The family was more old and young now.
And the...

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: 
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 
and their spears into pruninghooks: 
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
Isa 2:4 

Trigger foolhardy Second Amendment rebels,

I know. I have left you
With your worst enemy: your own.
I am only keeping what I’ve unlearnt
Throughout your education of me:
The enchantment of dialogic desire
And the near perfection of shared intimacy.
In this furnished house of you,
I walked in and I walked out
Because I am not...

Now that you have left me for reason,
I am a man of passed-out desires
And passed over dreams
Of passed-out desires
I have unlearnt to find safe line
Between teasing and pleasing you.
I am yet to learn the difference
Between bare-breasts & fashionable breasts.
I’m a man of passed-out desires

I have...

Everybody was in hurry to unpack
the sins and reshuffle the names
of burns, by taking a holy dip
in mauve lake. I wanted to defang them.
Acid attack had the inversion effect
on the expressions.

It was an obscene vision
unrolling the infant
for bleeding an opponent. The procession
moved on. Details never...

affirmatives
&
hidden
uncertainties
in

optimism

a
radical change

of

Sometimes i get scared in the dark!
at some rhyme!or even a dogs bark.
a blinding light!a broken out fight!
is it coming from my mind or my heart?
The things i compare day and night,
and songs of despair to ease ones fright!
Man has always been made ever ready!

A broken Home is
Not only when parents got divorce
Nor when one parent died.
It is a broken Home 
When both parents are alive but there's no love.
When there's no unity,
Each has its own desire to reign.
Sometime one impose their own will to the rest of the...

My passion burns like arson tonight
this fire yes, I did ignite
I was the dead oak tree, your provided the gasoline...

All consuming, flames licking the sky
screams of terror, then my sighs
I played with matches, and got burnt, no lesson here can be unlearnt.

I ruined my friendship...

I am introspective
I am extrospective
I am healing my ills
I am building my will

I narrate
I assimilate
I am making sound out of ink
I am settling a drifting idea till it sinks 

I memorise
I picturise
I am hanging onto the past 
And yet embracing the future

I am reciting
I am...

Joy seeps away
Hazy smog suffocates;
Madness bears fruits

~~~~~~~~~


Next holocaust
Breathless dying slowly;
Asphyxia mumbling 

~~~~~~~~~


So many lessons
Unlearnt spoilage;
Malicious intent

~~~~~~~~~


Upside down world
Unscrupulous and greedy;
Exploits souls

~~~~~~~~~


Jigsaw puzzle:
Use things well,
Love people more

~~~~~~~~~


Cash and carry,
Burn the fields;
What AQI?

~~~~~~~~~


One world
Connected swirls;
Extreme pain hurls

~~~~~~~~~


Use people huh?
Make more money;
Discharge smog?

~~~~~~~~~


Ashy fragrance
Too much perfume;
No contrition

~~~~~~~~~


Nature groans
Suffocated...

Clutching at Straws

I clutched a straw
albeit
one for me
that is
quite more
than enough
for I be just
one

It skews
in my hand
caused by the
grasp of it
hope its
release beckons
a recall of
its former 
self

Alas,
not nearly as 
close but 
far worse
for where it 
bends was a 
tear

So now
I'd be ready
this rarest
thing that I...
