With the sudden loss of my dear wife,
In distant home land, I could not save her of heart attack,
With funeral pyres cremating her on banks of holy river,
Heart cried for weeks, family in shock for months.
Crying must become stealth, as work survival got critical,
The deep sorrow and shock got stacked in wounded heart,
Tears dried up externally, but flowed with emotions internally,
The feelings and longing for each other stayed in my heart forever,
Some internet friends, asked me to write my feelings,
A verse, a lament, whatever poured out of my heart,
After month of trials, one day the heart opened in poems.
The poems started pouring out some 20 years ago,
Some were love poems, some bore loneliness,
Some described her beauty and saw her in garden roses,
Heard her songs in the waves on beautiful beaches.
If it was not her loss, I would not have written a poem in my life,
My engineering training lacked vocabulary and knowledge of poems,
Wrote almost three hundred poems in next three years,
All in free verse without knowing abcd of poetry writing.
** Love's Funeral **
Oh ! Please ! Don't disturb me now
I'm at a funeral
Cremating my feelings for you
Burying them deep inside my heart
At the same place
Where once we exchanged
Our vows
In the same black dress
Which you gifted me.
A coffin is here
Of your favourite chocolate Box
And in that , with the corpse of feelings, lies
Some dried rose petals of our first valentine's day
Your broken love band ,
Some scattered beads of my necklace
A white shirt with your cologne
Your cracked spects
The strap of your watch
Our old photographs
Few love letters ,
Some stolen kisses
Numerous warm hugs
Some unvoiced truths
I'm not alone here
Your treachery
Your violence
Your lies
Your dominance
Are here to Console me
They are wiping out my tears
And saying that
Tomorrow I will definitely be happy
After seeing those scars
Which you have given me
On my heart
Because scars have made me strong
And told me that you were wrong
If I could bother that cruelty and pain
Surely I'm not gonna face that again
A Satanic insane.
it pays being a fostered fool
than to be to injustice cool
felon fight for fame's worth a take
but bruised blitzkrieg by act is made
if meagre mediocrity coaches you on love
that masticated mind prunes moan's gut
stir eerie emotions, purge pulpy affections:
better be lame than swig from cauldron
lanky love is like la-de-da hay
taunted thrills train, cremating cruising craves
tames fostered feelings, make mountains ooze
a valley of thoughts contrived to pool
to hate is better than to lust
margin melting love'n'hate to lust is gulf.

Note: of reeling reserata.
there was a kaleidoscopic key
nocturnal nature smothered spree
moaning metal glazed with scarred incisors
dripping dark dangles, felon fright's fervor
meagre mystery bewitched it:
callous connections drooled, fostered fills
hoisted head, punctured padlock was
tampered tuning heaves nosy gnaw
a book is birthed by a turn
leering la-de-da lodge, lusty lurch
another turn trashed book, pages wept:
crushed confetti, cremating clubbed crest
kleptomaniac key brings the book
rips pulpy pages, plays the crook.
'20:05:22:18:16
Note: of kleptomaniac key.
sane story squashed
worn wanky clashed
wielded wits flung
leering lanky lust
strained sanity snogged
pilfering punctured pawn
voluptuous vie wept
cremating callous crest
bruised biddings belched
pruned passion puked
dark dribbles drooled
clutching crazed clue
wedged wiles wailed
taunting tampered trail.
'20:05:10:12:00
Note: Of tamed tale.
porous pasts pumped
peered pulpy pump
bounty blitzkrieg bursts
leering lanky lurch
lusty lips lobbed
cremating callous cost
masticated memories moaned
trading taunted tone
salient liquid sown
eerie ocean etched
kaleidoscopic churn's cleft
tuning torpedo's trend
haughty horizon hankers
mocking Machli's bicker.
'20:05:02:18:23
Note: Of an oozing ocean and a taunted tiger.
sassy spell snapped
trailing taunted trance
callous clouds cruised
bounty blitzkrieg bruised
nocturnal nymph nudged
pluming lanky lust
amputated atmosphere bled
alakazam cremating crest
fostering phlegm fetched
felon flesh flipped
dark dribbles clipped
tampered trees gripped
leering logs lobbed
kaleidoscopic chaos clogged.
'20:04:30:20:37
Note: Of pained picture.
felon fate fostered
feigning flimsy clusters
voluptuous verge drown
cremating callous clown
dark dribbles birthed
hampered hankerings hoisted
moaning mists raved
foiling rusty rage
wanky will wailed
meagre moans masticated
voluptuous vying hibernated
bruised bugs perfected
porous pulses oozed
tracing taunted tune.
'20:04:29:19:15
Note: Of voluptuous verge.
bounty braces grumbled
humming hoisted hurdle
sassy syllables strained
cremating crumbling crane
rusty rebirth bewitched
rumbling reincarnation enriched
callous colour bruised
blueish orange blooms
dark dual drool
mystic moaning etched'n
punctured pruning crest
smiting succulent breast
voluptuous ordeals vying
taunt smothered smooches.
'20:04:20:19:38
Note: Of nocturnal nature. Inspired by a picture of the cloud I took this evening.
fostered face etched'n
gaunt grave swept
dark dribbles dug
sassy syllables sung
song's gores gibe
meagre moan thrives
assembled books belched
cremating callous crest
kaleidoscopic knowledge crept
hoisted acumen hatched
voluptuous cramp crashed
sundry zeal stripped
confined fate fumed
by fury bruised.
'20:04:19:09:43
Note: Of pulpy picture.
wet wits worn
perforating pulpy pawn
pestered passion puked
cremating clipped cruise
hoisted hankering drooled
felon fate bruised
meagre metamorphoses moaned
spurring sassy sow
gullible gifts grown
dark diminuendo birthed
dribbling crescendos fitted
rusty rhythm rusticated
felon ambiguity flown
by blitzkrieg blown.
'20:04:17:19:26
Note: Of airy ambiguity.
gaunt green gnawed
gullible groove gored
gutsy grills gulped
glitched gems gulled
graced gifts globbed
gripping glows' gourd
callous clouds cussed
cremating clips cupped
crumbling cruise clubbed
nosy nature nimble
nudging nectar's nipple
nasty nerd nestled
wanky wind wields
rhythm rustling riffs
'20:04:13:16:38
Note: Of gaunt green. Inspired by a picture of nature I took earlier today.
callous clouds cremating
hoisted horizon hibernating
mystic mirror birthed
meagre mimick mounted
pulpy punctures lent
lanky lust wretched
bounty boulevard bruised
humpty-dumpty craving cruise
perforated pilgrims puked
sassy similitude seeped'n
vulnerable voluptuous trees
dark dribbles creaked
airy aura tripped
nocturnal nature gripped.
'20:04:12:09:29
Note: Of nocturnal nature. Inspired by a picture saved from Temi Otedola's.
dark dribbles drooled
punctured passion puked
felon fate fumed
fiddling fostered fluid
hankers hoisted bled
cremating callous crest
three-eyed thrills tuned
cupping quatrain's clue:
gaunt guts glued
sassy days spent
rusty reels rent
jumpy judgement vent
thrashed quatrain thrown
into bottomless bow.
'20:04:11:17:03
Note: Four gods conspired to dethrone JE, the greatest God. But their plans were shattered when the three-eyed god of air heard about the plot.
vying voluptuous veil
callous crest crave
hoisted zeal healed
tuning taunted creaks
dark dribbles drooled
gaunt gores puked
gullible guts grieved
sassy surges unleashed
crushing cupping creed
lanky limbs seeped'n
fostered felony feats
fuming fiery feet
rusty roar bruised
crescendos cremating cruise.
