Long Impulsively Poems

Triggered by tiredness and strain
Upon my wearisome, impaired brain

Within me is the pain of betrayal
So impulsive was my actions a while ago
Within me is the...

My eyes couldn’t help 
But wander 
And smile at every passing inch 

Aimlessly following the walls 
And your voice 
Throughout the house you lay your head at night 

It was cozy 
Decorated delicately 
In memories...

Let me tell you a story on a midnight journey,
To a crematorium, through an undergrowth ferny; 
At my age between sixteen to seventeen,
In nineteen seventy eight; with a dusky scene; 
A time, when, young and...

To glance Nirmal Hriday (Pure Heart) - a home I did admire;
At the thought of Kolkotta - Mother's house - my heart did churn,
To be with...

A Day In An Ordinary Life

    By Edmund Siejka


Watching TV
More out of boredom
Than anything else
He allowed his imagination  
To drift
Back

In need of spiritual healing Im uncertain if anyone else even notice or are they hearing them

In a dismal old fashioned cell at our ancestral home,
Wherein coconuts, new and old, heaped like a hillock dome;
Kid-butterflies, we're often asked to pick some for curry,
Finding phantom-forms we ran as scared as rabbit bury...

Staring into the deep


Life is a metaphor and I am simply its ball.
I bounce off walls and as I rise, I fall.
Just looking for the right time to say the right word,
Because it would feel...

His animated monologue flows with fervent idioms sweet 
As a vintage wine its...

She wrote a letter 
Which I happily read
In Spring
Summer baked on
Autumn arrived with a chill in the air
Winter followed with snow

discovered by a rich American
anthropologist hiker who was retired,
taken back by plane
to his new homeland,
he started assimilating
by wearing regular attire,
they tutored him how...

I spoke those words impulsively,
I didn't think them through,
And now I disagree with me, 
Knowing you do too.

We analysed at the same time, 
simultaneously conclude, 
Scrutinising my own mind, 
disagreeing just like you.

What a stupid...

3am
The rest of the world was asleep 
While your mind on the other hand, never is

like what the whirlwind does to the dunes.

as pent-up anger shattered the shield of tolerance.
Defenseless and discounted I disintegrated, 
turned into...

The morning bulb has just awoke.
How shall you grace today's blue sky?

The procession crawls off hesitantly
On willing shoulders, the casket floats
Wooden and heavy on hefty shoulders
In his train, in dirgy whispers
The countless mourners trudge along
Behind my love's eternal hide-away
