Long Epileptic Poems

Matthew delivers his latest bullet – tin...

from the Harris-Walz front
where liberal minded socially progressive
electorate doth agonizingly grunt
targeted in crosshairs scoped out 
eager and ready to be mortally wounded 
courtesy notorious big headed

Unquotabe quotes: Dancers - XXIII

Dance like Cassius Clay, Sting like Muhammad Ali.
The dancing Dervish’s ethereal trip makes the Sufi’s Qawwali breathlessness sound like the radio-astral waves dashing on the beaches of their consciousness.
The only unlicensed...

In my life, all pain has been like appendicitis. 

I decided to avoid Dad when newborn and crib laid; I'd heard 
his authoritative voice as aimed towards my toddler Brother, 
noted the noise ended with...

Your birth welcomed me back home
What a great surprise and joy, like flowers’ bloom
You, four lovely babes filled my world with gladness
Got all the big smiles upon seeing your charm and cuteness

But rain came and...

There I was.

Inside a crowded Toys R Us
On a mid-Winter’s evening

Abrasively loud 5 year olds
And depressed fathers
Ready to throw their “angelic” brethren
Into life-size Nerf basketball hoop
(Because it was on Clearance)
To embrace sanity’s madness

I was simply...

Thence they come, these thoughts again
As I brood, on mind thus dimmed
Fraught with doubt, crossed by light
Naught but rout, mine sublime such night

Shall I muse on love or war
Fall on fuse or seek Paramour

Laugh or...

In the struggle of life I was wholly beaten

Just feeling like I was a puppet in the hand of demon

Time was passing by capturing my life power

Determined I, to die without any fear

Depressed alone I...

Who Am I?

Because I was born out of wedlock, 
My mum and dad taught me that the poor were good,

A malignant moon
shines his metallic claws -
combs my hair and brushes me forward.
I am alone in the shadowy crooks 
of a poisoned metropolis.

A clandestine garbage chute -
where waifs and strays burn
within the...

Two years together ,Being each other's Comfort

That's what I thought , Atleast with all my logic
Only to realise after a...

In the darkest recesses of my mind
a maelstrom brews, a tempest unseen
epilepsy's insidious tendrils weave
a tapestry of chaos, thoughts ensnared

Every step a battle, every task a test
concentration's flame flickers, threatened
by the relentless onslaught of seizures'...

I wish to go back to the past,
when moral values were supreme,
Truth and true love were in high esteem,
Better life style coupled with less stress.

I wish to appeal to the lord
to remove this ailment from...

Sometimes trees’ green fingers
Stand still like reposing harbingers
Of hope and despair; they meditate
On our ignorance of them who medicate
Us when diseases burgle into our souls
Taking us unawares like April fools.

At times tree branches and leaves

This is the story of Phineas Gage, 
A man who died at quite a young age, 
But his death is not what he’s famous for, 
His fame comes from what went years before.

I stoked every fire echoing into the mouth of arthritis?
A rhyming balm develops epileptic quasar fear?

Those that went before him
Were promised an orphan
By the brutality of the elements
The pestilence of society

They were the pleaders of history
The wounded veterans
Of internecine strife
Victims of little prejudices

Whose faith in the probable
Had been shattered 
By...
