One Minute Birding

Spare a minute
to know about
those perky creatures
and their special features

Lifers, twitcher, tertial and lores
are nothing but the birding terms
Introduce, birding to the children,
As that would make kids pen

Their mesmerizing melodious calls 
and the raising tunes wake up all 
from those regular humdrum 
and make us embrace the bliss

They are the angels from heaven
who have the power to turn
even the empty plots into garden
and the frozen winter into spring

They are the one who begin
the jingles in the dawn
and the one who end 
the day by doing murmuration at dusk

They make us feel high,
For, they are buoyant souls that fly
which transfer their energy and power
to the one who watches them for hours

So why waiting? Look out
Spare a minute...

When It's Spring Forget not Winter

When the sky seems clear and the ocean so calm
Forget not the screams you hear and the broken bow charm

When the food fills stomach and the water quinches thirst 
Forget not the hunger of heirs and the years of fast

When the water flows fine and the wind blows pleasant 
Forget not the slaughter show line or the brinn who resent 

When the needle pricks palm and the body feels pain 
Forget not the open City grave and the blood through lane

When the night gives sleep and the sun starts day
Forget not the sought of brood and the last hope's ray

When the home holds hand and the sweater gives warmth 
Forget not the camps on sand and the heater left dearth 

When the father brings things and the mother cooks food
Forget not the cries of siblings and the lost parenthood 

When the nation gives you pride and the freedom on the land 
Forget not the pain that glide; inside the wrecked homeland 

When you hear of lores and the legends of yore
Forget not the ruins of nations and the world of war.

About So-Called Australia Pt 1

Let me teach you a thing or two
Passed down from elders’ past,
You won’t learn this from library books
Nor technology contrast.

About so-called Australia 
About the frontier wars,
About all of my ancestors…
Shot dead upon the shores.

Captain Cook discovered Australia
In my ears they drilled,
School salute the flag of loot
No mention of the skilled…

Cunningly shaping weapons and tools;
For white man broke the lores
Protecting women and children;
Black men in frontier wars.

How they shocked Aboriginals;
The aliens from overseas…
Ordered and rewarded
To hang them all from trees.

When they killed most of the men
Hence minority about,
They raped the women and the girls
To breed the black right out.

Complete success they did not have
As “Australia” tried a-building,
Evilness again transpired
Stealing all the children.

My Mother, My Nana, My great Nan,
All stolen from their parents
The Australian Government did it again-
For slavery insurance.

Premium Member Where Halos Grow: A Mortal's Dream

The forgotten Light lifts us safely up on shady spectrums of unread, bent fragile seraphim wings,
while mourning pulls our waking dreams unravelling like crimson string, life-bleeding toward a forgotten Sun,
poets ruinous and high-strung, spin scattered, fragile stanzas out of darkness facing the undying lores of Love.

Terraforming nightmares into hope, outside mourning we poets watch the ever-rising sun
redefining the darkness that once rested on each quill of our ceaseless moving, broken blackbird wings;
for every turning leaf, a new page sprouts green halos in the eternal name of Love.

We mortal poets must dream until the mourning breaks crystal clear into the realm of Love,
and tidal pools where treasures lie unseen, launch golden dragonflies on freshly gifted omen wings
to bear the burning truth of a forgotten life full-lived, imprinted by a quiet timeless sun.

Don't you know we must lose our wings to stand like mortals unlike Gods,
to gather hidden pearls of Love beneath a forgotten Sun?

"I was told if I fell in love with a poet 
I would become immortal,
so I decided to become the POET
and make all those who touched my soul, 
eternal."

The Domain of Psyche

Within the ambit of the psyche  untamed
Is the wonder cavern with hanging thoughts
And projections prompting peevish plots-
Thick and prickly notions oddly framed
Fall about, on the least spur of moment
Which ruffles the indignant frozen ill-will-
Once a  serene pond of feelings still -  
To avenge, seeking pleasure from torment. 


Classic structures replaced   deserts and the  dale
Waters and mounds  changed their form and course                                                
Feats were  performed with earthly resource ;
Mimetic modes enabled   all flights and sail, 
Dive in the deep ,or reach across the shores ,                                                         With ease, earlier than the reliable sun                                                             Or  ply endways  with minutes lost none 
All ventured true with disciplined lores ..!                               
    
                                                                                                                                                                                      
Jack of all trades Ignores  the essence  :                                               Concur  living with the rhythm of Nature ,
Cosmic chord in accord with the geo- culture ;
The achiever  soul   mentors the mind immense.

The Hospital Asile

The Hospital Asile

Like the highway as long it goes
Like the lover's longing 
Like the winter's silence 
Like prisoned midnight and falling dawn 
Like the voyages made by Christopher 

Tube lights and window panes,
Sang the lullaby.
The lone street outside,
Sleeps in the womb of night.

Nurses battling with duties and dreams 
Doctors gravelled in white and faith
Staffs tested their patience and nestled 

Behind the door, 
Lay my ailing amma.
Her husband.
Her father.
Her pal.
Or somebody!

The shivering soul and my frozen veins seated in a long bench 
Music of my tapping feet in the stained floor tryst with melancholy 
Lost of fear is lost
Light of hope had perished 

Just like Arctic Ocean covered by ice,
Her body covered in white linen.
And the ticking 3 AM
In the hospital asile
Elevator carried lost spirits,
Looks like ceramic sculptures.

Keep On Keeping On

You may rest awhile if the trek be tough, 
Grab a breath when the terrain is rough; 
Let the oars have some respite,
And the rower fresh viands bite.

But the going must anon continue, 
For time tells motions of the brave
(According to lores heavens gave) , 
Shall all forever subdue the earth; 
And man's toil shall win him mirth.

Pull your ear from naysayers' sigh
That affirms that man forever can't; 
Keep the company of them that try; 
Dwell in the fold of champs of hope.
 
Remember it's no crime to slip a cry
If bristles of fate spanner your heart; 
Allow a tear if straining be too much, 
But through all remember this part: 
You must ever keep on keeping on! 

Nothing has ever successfully stood
In the bold path of a determined man, 
Who keeps walking despite the mood.
The world lacks case of one who tried, 
And was the object of his zeal denied! 

Give ear all that hear the spoken word, 
For none like this has ever been heard -
The esoteric code that rules the world: 
That you'll have to keep on keeping on!

Premium Member Providence On Behalf of Love - a Collaboration With Robert Lindley

I that have seen such beauty 
fallen beneath its gleam 
rejected my life’s duty  
to wade thus in its stream  

Saturating me with love  
bathed in moon’s reflection  
naught more for me to dream of  
drown me your affection  

With our true hearts united  
stare into love’s abyss  
night dreams felt unrequited  
are thus found with first kiss  

Passion’s torch does scorch the sun  
red molten flow in veins  
as we two become as one  
unbridled, fallen reins  

Sacrosanct are our love nights  
life’s sweet joys soar with you  
without your touch, nothing’s right  
next tryst now overdue  

Stoke my love and lustful sate  
lure me your siren song  
wooing whirlwind perfect fate  
where pulse and pleasures throng  

We shall meet under moonlight 
join true hearts in one fire 
kiss in love’s sweet depths all night 
meld into deep desire 

We’ll sail ‘cross life’s open seas 
explore each others’ shores  
casting caution to the breeze  
re-writing romance lores 

Love’s paradise we’ll not miss 
destiny sends us there 
living life with blushing bliss 
heaven for us to share 

Rapture’s mine, your eyes starshine 
your light does kiss my soul  
intervention our’s Divine 
in ecstasy extol

*Providence* - a manifestation of divine care or direction -


Poet’s Note:  When my talented friend Robert, found and presented to me his lovely poem fragment, from long ago (the first stanza), and asked if I would be interested in writing a collaborative poem with him, I said ‘Yes’!  In the moment of reading his tender words, I was inspired.. and honored and humbled, by his generous and kindhearted offer to finish this poem with him through our creative cooperation. It was my great pleasure and a tremendous poetic experience for me to create and write with Robert, a fine poet of such high caliber who just so happens to be my esteemed friend as well. Robert, you made my first collaboration a pure joy and our friendship and partnership in poetry is cherished.

Premium Member Ink me in stars

"My soul ceases to stroll ~
      in the ruffled leaves of lotus letters, 
                 whose paper sun
             has never surfed to your seabeds..." 
             
                                ~ quote by the poet. 


Say, I'll be the saviour-spell
...for your champagne stars, sinking
in eyes eclipsed by cupid
where orphans of daylight, dwell

when I am nothing... but pain
a puppet princess, dethroned
I dream to be your heartbeat
...pearled in peace periwinkles

when poetry is Psyche
...freckled in my fogged marrow
and petals fall, pulse by pulse 
ink me feathered, in grape-golds

if the hydra hymns forget
to breathe my name in silence
O' love, I'll bask ~ laced with lores
healed in you...like a poem
