Constituting Poems


Premium MemberLady Dragonfly

"Love weaves a mysterious magic spell"

Lady Dragonfly

Masculine and prickly, the proprietor of a gambling house,
Wispy wings finesse her dress, its translucence will arouse
A Dita von T. vedette, an alluring erotic oozing femme fatal 
A Seductiveness, her love weaves a mysterious magic spell
whose charms ensnare her lovers, like a fierce dragoness
She is the narcotic opium in the pipe, a smoking goddess 
Lady dragonfly the name becomes the vicious villain vamp
Cold-spirited and flighty with an icy sting clammy and damp
Constituting a roll as ‘madam’ sexually domineering and violent
Puffs of wistful thoughts, tricked times these the turbulent
Swarming like flies, men condemn her racy domineering image
Confined, she justifies the life of promiscuous privilege

Baptise Violence

Violence 
a negative word
a harming approach
a destructive action
damages assets and life 
abhorred by society
creates fear mongering 
disrupts harmony 
sows seeds of revenge 

But 

it's interesting to know
Anagram of Violence word
gives two beautiful words
two positive words
two unifying words
two bonding words 
and they are 
LOVE+NICE 

Let's practice 
spirit in 
Anagram of Violence 
Lets baptise 
word Violence 
shun it's real
harming resonance 
and live as per
purified anagram
LOVE+NICE
and drop acts, thoughts 
constituting VIOLENCE

Premium MemberThe Sorcerer

After imbibing the humbling blend
Constituting the mystical knowledge
And the techniques of martial art 
Dr Strange awakened his third eye
Became a powerful sorcerer.

He derived his supernatural power
From the energy of the universe
Acquiring high level of mastery
Over magic to shape and manipulate
Tangible concept of energy as mystic artifacts.

He could also cast numinous spells
By the entrancing miraculous mechanism
Of the specific formula of destruction
With the obtained fiery energy  
He was capable to incapacitate his enemy.

Against Dracula, the emperor of the undead
Dr Strange, the supreme sorcerer
Applied the Montesi formula
Destroying the vampires by spell that broke
Reviving them for the clash to continue.

School Bus

Kids hustling with buzz and joy
Smiling faces with missing teeth
Talking endlessly about their games and toy
With amazement never to cease

Sharing Bottles and lunch box 
Playing stone paper and scissor
Just as bunnies they hop 
Wings like  butterflies with which they flutter

Fighting for the window seats
Honking with the horn
To feel the warm and quick breeze
Crying like a newborn

Taking proud in getting a remark
Heavy bags with weight of future
Playing in the bus as in a park
Constituting the most innocent form of nature

Stops coming as finishing line
One by one all the friends depart
Eyes glimmering with light of divine
Journey suspends Till tomorrow when the bus restarts

Far From Reach of the Waves

Far from reach of the waves
I constructed a place of pearls
Huge, Beautiful and colorful

Outer layers from the white ones 
While the inner has many colors 

Best among them are the black ones
Seven in number, constituting a circle

A perfect one, like a rainbow with its reflection in a blue lake
Hidden from the Eyes like a pearl in the body of an oyster

It stands tall and strong on the land
A palace of my own thoughts

I walk on the soft sand
And measure the length

To which the cruel waves of the Sea can reach
Because of fear that they will destroy my castle 

Wish you visit it before the waters make it theirs
And help me take it to a secure sight
                                        (Paghunda)

A Bundle of Happiness

Life is a bundle of double happiness
hidden deep inside is purest part
the sweetest and most desired of all

Surrounding the purest are coils
constituting peripheral happiness
majority access and consume it

Those desirous of greatest happiness
spend lifetime searching, hankering
for the string that leads to it

Like the Gordian note only a few
can identify the single secret coil
that leads to the greatest happiness

Premium MemberWhat Doesn'T Kill Us

Walking a tightrope without a net; with an appetite for hope
Our lives echo similar outcomes as we walk into the future
Turning empty pages of our lives with our eyes open or closed
A desire of composing chronicles 


Like the Desirable Immortal Ocean
Its tendrils crawling upon the sands
On a moonlight requisition 
Than wanes back into the abyss
Constituting remnants in its bowels 
Creating new fate of phenomenons left behind

Moving Mountains

To live life as one really means it,
Is to ignore all TEMPTATIONS, 
ignoring troubled times
 saying that the rhyme and 
the rhythm, created by
them

Moving Mountains, overcoming all obstacles,
can be larger than ‘life’, constituting more troubles,
but troubles can lead to goal attainment.
goal attainment, is where genuine fulfillment lies



Satisfaction lies.

If living life; is loving life, then why
All of the many distractions? 
Distracting from what?
True Love!. It... can never die

Premium MemberA Single Reality

The lands

The trees

The seas 

The Fish

The rainbows

The clouds

The sun

The moon

The stars

All at the top of their voices scream 

That we are one:

A single reality of cause and effect

Throughout space and time

A divine choreography 

Constituting 

This incomparable miracle 

Of LIFE!

Rapture At My Gate

This sudden urge I've come to feel is 
rapture at my gate
Not more on sudden than is subtle but 
weary of this spate
Thoughts of dreams, realities obscene 
and too depraved
Quite more on nightmares than dwelt 
dreams  yet dark and highly craved

Consumes my mind on vulture plains 
devouring to ensnare
Despising law and hearts thereof 
perpetuating air
Loosed in my twisted reasoning twisted 
as in psycho strange
To understand this feeling  you need feel 
as do the crazed. 

Constituting heart is a melody of nature 
but as I hear it playing is my symphony in 
gesture 
As the organ sounds flows the flood of 
tainted scarlet.
Leaving all but dense perfume and a taste 
of cupcake velvet. 

This wretched place I know is my bound 
while I am bleeding
Not much bleeding as in breathing but 
nonetheless demeaning
This occupation begs by night, entombs  
me and  enslaves  
Preoccupying binding shadows, darkness 
is my subtle crave

Premium MemberJourneys Translation of Etiemble S Tercets Voyages By T Wignesan

Journeys, Translation of Etiemble’s tercets: Voyages by T. Wignesan
                                  For André Gâteau

(End rhyme scheme: aab, ccd, aab, eed in the original, the first and third tercets beginning
 with “Pour vous…” and constituting one complex sentence each. One would do well to bear
 in mind in this poem that Etiemble was the foremost authority on Arthur Rimbaud’s poetry.)

For you all over I laid out
my oases, all their date palms
in the tiresome desert without wells,

where the salts of nitrous valleys,
for you* only and your hollow hips
squeaked with the leaps of camel calves.

For you only I stretched out
the fine lace of the poplars
over the blue shirt of the nights

and scoured out of this bone
the winding sheet of dead stars
a place to lie as long as mine.

* “tu”: second person “you”.

Tiles On the Floor

Surrounded by
candles and 
sober thoughts
               Wine seeps to my soul
Envisioning my future
Am I different 
or same?
Born to consume
and obey

or to react 
and thrive.

Should I follow voices..
               Voices constituting my life
abiding to shadows

Do I prosper
or align?
Align in place
               As the tiles on
the floor
I stay my place
In cement 
and ground

While voices 
walk on our 
weak surface

The Pyramids

To the east of Indies. nor-west of Africa,
Standing proudly on the land of Sahara,
Trigonometrical domes they lie one on the side of another,
Its the family of the Pyramids standing like brothers.

Planned in the B.C. centuries by great kings ,
Built by slaves troubling their limbs-
Protecting bodies of ' Pharoh's' acting like nurses,
Saving the Egyptian kings from oblivion's curse.

In the midst is the great Sphinx -
With the face of a woman upto the pharynx;
A great lion's figure constituting the rest;
Resembling the Egyptian taste -one of the sculptures noted among the best.

Like the thorns of a grey cactus-
It would remain erect on the sandy caracus.
