Enchantress

My incredible!

Almost edible!

Infrared and, well,

Ultraviolet!

Full of warmth and light -

Gorgeous, timeless sight

Taking mind on flight

To the never-land.


Your blonde hair swings down

On your velvet gown -

In you voices drown,

Like in concert hall.

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable!

Sun will rise and fall 

On your gorgeous soul.


My enchantress, you!

Giant eyes of blue

Like a cloud that flew

Over turquoise skies

Singing melodies

Of the galaxies

Ending fallacies

And becoming wise.


Gentle like a dove,

You are queen of love -

I can't get enough

Of your tenderness!

Goddess of the sea!

How you sing to me

How I long to be

In your soft caress!


Cherry blossom, you!

All that's good and true!

Pink and white and blue

Like a carnival,

Like a rainbow, free!

How you spell-bind me!

How I long to be

In your darling soul!


In your love I'll swim

And your voice will sing

An eternal hymn -

No regret at all!

Inexorable!

Most adorable!

Uncontrollable!

Unforgettable!

Peering beyond reach of human capacity
I revolve around the sun in a solar orbit,
Looking deep in space for origins of bygone
Going way beyond anyone has ever gone,
Exploring unknown world of astronomy
Searching light from first stars and galaxies
Traversing back in time where it all began,
Forming our universe after the Big-Bang.

Some 13.6 billion light-years my eyes reach,
Studying evolution, formation of galaxies,
Vast, colorful, mysterious shapes and sizes,
Eying origins of life and planetary systems
Probing, discovering, unfathomable infinity,
For one light-year equals six trillion miles~
A feat, only for the confidence of audacity.

I capture images spectacular to every sight,
Viewing light that is invisible to human eye
Locating nebulae, gas planets, dust clouds,
Collision of galaxies where stars are born,
Traversing back in time where it all began,
Probing galactic universe~ terra incognita.

No longer a phantasy, I am real as can be,
An eye of science and a mind of curiosity,
Intellectual tenacity and proof of ingenuity,
In acumen and wisdom of Astrophysicists,
I am the bold vision of infrared astronomy,
I am the flight vying hypnotic destination
Buoying on wings of scholarly inspiration.

Much is yet undone, for I have just begun,
Orbiting diligently until my work is done,
Until dreams become reality of my mission.

For insight into creation, I am the ray of hope~
I am the James Webb Space Telescope.

Empathed Crossroads



              My dumbwaiter thoughts circle 
                     beyond dumb tongue,
     nummed by the enigma of autistic brilliance.
      Now that I only see in infrared spectometry.

            If I am eclipsed by the pre morrows dusk, 
          the impending vise, gripped in your sojourn.
        What do I be, what is left of my journey done.
              A flaccoid doll left out in your storm
in your subduing gauntlet thrown,
Queen of the Stormborn,
Rider of Dragons, come.

What then is the cast of shadows for,
the White Walkers of the North?
      While you dance in my marrow 
         as unattainable scorn.
           To have your cold-snap lull me to death 
               and jar me back to life.
A tempered oscillator of hapless bulwark, 
a still-born of your broken water 
left in the care of the Angels
and whisked to God's Holy Throne.

In my delusions of warped moonbeams projecting phantasms upon my minds fantastical means.
Who takes care in the packaging, 
in the warning labels in the free falls 
into livewire nets or none at all.

To be but a pilfered statue in Life's Adventure of you.
Where do damaged wings go for the impossible mend.
Where does the haughty breath go of endless debris blowing winds.
I am but screaming in digital,
the dark spectrum of light at rainbows end.

Needy Night

In needy nite
I pray the hardest,

as I walk
I am a cloud on the run,

a faceless gasp awaits
my every twist of the tongue-

it is here,
in the sun,

where we are rung,

when we are fun
and enjoyed in a lump some…


Being in heat is
such grave emotion-

such that I estrange from
just to be different,

to be alien, 
in every absorbing encounter...

But the leak becomes pensive
the more I devour.


Being it monster or beast, 
I define things in a shower, 

because the later you start to lead,
the more you will scowl,

but at the dangerous dock, 
I cower, 

break nose, 
and invent a stare,

doing it for the weed, 
and for the pair,

family is walking and talking
but I remain out-there, 

on drugs-
and totally bear.


So where to go-there? 

On page, with glasses and hair? 

It's 4:20 pm and I'm awake and infrared, 

implosive, and scared
of catching a chair, 
upside down, 
with a nose and a stare-

will I or will I not be out-there?

Is the question to be impaired,

because now I have care,

for many years I have prepared-

...coming in a jump,

I am going to leap,

into the song,
and sing lead.

A Kiss

she leans back and points bare toes at clouds
chains creak their rhythmic squeak, hypnotic loud
taken aback, her hair sails slipstream flung
downstream freedom for a moment hung
in mid-air - earth's force gives up its grip
hands sweat, hold tight, they cannot slip...
underneath, grave ground drops and falls away
above, a fraction weightless, she holds sway
swing's song suckle drugs her hungry mind 
lids close, sun glows infrared behind
pushed ahead, prow barges coldest breeze - 
heady heights drop back to life's sleeze- tease
whistle warns soft shots across neck's nape - 
a tug towards untimely no escape
pendulum head, concave waver rocks it
self gives way to backbone's growing grit
back or forth, the dipper croons reprieves unbought
no more a cradle - ladle, once more sought
after - alter course - alter - falter, first
of all, go back, bold, and slake high spirit's thirst

looming dark dips her fears in far off stars'
molten matter - fired white hot globes unbar
eternal flames, external spin as atoms swim
in ether - her thoughts burn bright just for Him

now's the time, now's the place, blown up sky high - 
now's the time to kiss the shattered sky.

"Righteousness and Peace - they have kissed each other. " ( the connection of the two will be as evident to all as is the close association of affectionate friends...)  Figuratively, a kiss could represent a demonstration of respect and devotion, and often served as a token of affection.

Black and White Rainbow

Yesterday cliche of a colored rainbow.
The archaic arc is a banal kitsch, too low.
Poets.... they don't stop using it although.
It's just optical science....no hologram show.

The hackneyed story... 'sun meets rain'.
The 'love' seen for years... again and again.
A tired metaphor.. nothing new to explain.
That pot of gold mocks.... the 'gays' in pain.

The VIBGYOR chroma has had long monopoly.
Poets of tomorrow....please search other simile.
Colors are now cold... don't hold them clammily.
Beautiful?!!..Oh.. Boring, ..Depressing actually.

Let's dig some Ozone holes in the sky.
How does it matter?
We'll see Ultraviolet...
We'll see Infrared...
Who says it's a disaster?

Let's turn, Black and White', the pretty colored laughter.
Don't let that shining visual smile live happily ever after.

Enjoy the Ice Cream.. While It Lasts

Entrapped with Wires

Hands bound behind my back

Enslaved

The wires go on for miles 
 
Covering every inch of our city

Vibrating with electricity. Humming excitement 

Our happy little friend??

NO

WE

Like a dog on a short leash

Tugged by  its master

Controlled

By the flicker of light from the fillament

Are we now but  0's and 1's?

Turn it off 

Live!!

Ceaselessly the wires continue on their path of domination

They have found me here in my safe refuge

The world's  end  and innocence is due to our undoing

I am their prisoner

I shout for someone to rescue me

BUT 

 The noise of Traffic

Blocks 

The sound of my tears dripping


Honking away those little monsters

Gasoline chompers

 leaving their waste 

Which harms us

Oil from the dead

Is what fed them today

Poisoning the air

Like fish gasping on land

The Result: Dead like the oil

We'll be buried in the ground

Where

The wires are waiting to entangle our caskets

 Like it has every inch of the underground

Infrared signals

Dance across the sky

Our invisible enemies

Blistering 

Cooking flesh for human consumption

Ironic

The cancer eats us from the insides

This is a plea of a young girl seeking refuge

for something pure

Smog 

Devil's breath 

Hot 

The stench is unbearable

OH Gaseous Death

You billow from the smoke stacks

Licking  Away layers of the Ozone

Earth

The universe's ice cream

A treat that used to be sweet

But now after years of abuse 

Turned  out to sour

How long will we last?

Lets hope our ice cream won't melt fast

The Daredevil Rescue

Stranded in war torn Sudan, 
Dreading yet another dawn. 
In Wadi Sayyidna town,
Hopelessness was weighing down.

Men and women, young and old, 
Watched the civil war unfold.
Homeless, desperate, full of  fear, 
Longing for their near and dear. 

Then on 27th April night,
A C-130J took flight. 
Manned by pilots skilled and brave, 
Tasked to rescue and to save.

They were flying almost blind, 
No navigation aids would they find.
Degraded strip, no landing lights
In the darkness of the night. 

Infrared sensors scanned the ground;
No inimical force was found.
Using goggles for night vision,
Thay carried out their tough mission. 

An enthralling tale had begun;
Six score passengers and one 
Shepherded onto the plane.
Headed for their homes again.

Valor of the highest kind,
Audacity was redefined. 
The Hercules and its brave crew
Achieved a feat of derring-do.

India's vaunted military might, 
Wrote another chapter bright
In our valiant history;
There for all the world to see.
