let pen and ink flow the lines of poetry on their own
words written down...

Come in scented summer garden! 
Come in nature super show! 
veins of Thee all  turned  to yellow 
Mistletoe! in spring woe? 
In the scented breath of summer
Laugh and look at magic show

Beauteous are...

Glancing down from breathless heights,
Amidst climey sighs,
The looming colossus awakens from slumber
And stretches across Thelwalls linear skies.
The hot engines hissing steam -
Recalled from fond memories long back -
Tumbling like huffing little rain clouds
Down from the...

Am I fitful,
fluctuating, fluid  
thin compass waver
as I jubilantly weave
lilac tree vignettes 
that weep or chortle,
rainbow figment curtain
rashly wished upon
in grain smudge zephyr
garnet sand raw vehicle 
garden common opal 
transit sidestep
to a multiverse 
of...

Every cloud has silver lining
And with stories all untold
From the far off ocean chambers
From the far off foggy fold
On the puffs of summer zephyr
Come they rowing then unfold

Oceans, rivulets, ponds and Rivers
In the deeps of...

This Quest, Was It But A Sad Rage Against The Storm

As I wade through this poisonous wilderness- alone
Raging fury contained well within my breast
Seeing earth's darkness, cold- cold as a frozen stone
I trudging onward, seeking...

If in a corner of time, that dances with possibility,
Our solitudes were to cross paths, both yours and mine,
I would bury the compass that seeks you, in extinct pursuit,
And nestle into the secret of your...

Kindly join in as I play to thou this

As we rejoice in the fact that the

What If?

What if this strenuous struggle won't pay off
Or my toils would not vanish soon enough
What if destiny promises a deceptive future
Or my foresight over the years are mere blurry capture

What if these tussles would...

Proud I am children, proud for sure, proud of day and proud of night
I can finally turn the key in my own door
No latent echoes filled with omnious warnings
Measuring out my freedom in abbreviated noons
And...

Six years on foot
Through far and hurdling paths like wilderness
My secondary learning root
Which taught me to taste and endure bitterness
Oh my brain of rational thoughts:
In the mornings it felt cold but fresh
And in the noons...

I live in a town where all things go in
reverse. The bushes grow reversely,
shrink smaller back into seeds, and roll back
into the past-life seeds. The river flows

reversely, very swiftly. My friends,
my nephews and nieces, my...

Memories are the lamps that illuminate the dark channels of life
Eden Verse



In the light of summer sunset
Shimmer they on silver sands
Days of childhood days of mirth
Come and stand in bygone lands

Mist on shore and time...

Here at the heart of the darkest day 
Darkest light at noonday and midnight 
The shadows show the holes to a different realm 

A different reality, negative images of creation 
The opposite of light, the...

A desert lake is a perfect 
mirror of the bluest sky
that everyone has ever seen,
it wants to trade place and expect
to be a part of Heaven
without the pretty 
daisies and lilies:
it will have plenty of...

They still wander with caution and fear in the remote swamps and grasslands 
of India and Siberia, and these carnivorous animals are the beautiful tigers.


They are trapped, poched, killed and their soft furs are shipped...

Falling in single droplets yet forming one heavy downpour
Yet cometh from nothing much more than vapor
Thudding on the roof like a May Day cry
And taking over the place where the humans once pry

Rain-rain
Graduating from drops...

So sweet your Venus kiss had felt
Under the silhouette glow in fair July
When your coral lips would burn
My forlorn face with a bright smile.

For each hell would seem an eternal bliss
And each breath is a...

Yesterday, time stirrred of reveries when
All of Summer brought colours bright;
My love's longing roamed this place, yet
Troubles whipped our days; in a rush it  
Seemed your tenderness withered fast.
So hasty for that promise of...

Intricate dull summer, autumn's scourge,
Dog day noons, sultry dusk undress the night,
Mirage, sweaty foreheads entertain an oasis,
Rise of Fall, leaves, plot ere barked disguises,
Autumn's quarrels, chartreuse hawks verdant green hue,
Spar shades, tones, pigments re, imagination,
Expelled...

THE GAP BETWEEN
Like a mother cock you be, warming me like chicks
Like a queen bee you be, keeping a busy battalion
Alike forever with me, sister brother or mix?
When away from me, mister I feel thrown

I've felt Daren's absence for years,
a most unforgettable memory: 
someone who was very close to me.
The long roaring ships cut 
through the bubbling and whizzing waves,
and disappeared into the glimmering sea
while dusk obfuscated its brilliance;
unrest...

when this endless anchal of dhanekhali sari 
continues to make dip-swimming 
in the bottomless water of the paddy 

and if into the colour of her fore-finger 
enters repeatedly some whole-noons of the chot-boshekh 

and from...
