In the Time When the Heart Beat Slows
“In the time when the heart beat slows”
In the time when
the heart beat slows

and meet you there
that place of aether
the either or,
the conversation
takes a turn,
all the trees holding
creatures...

An Interior Mechanism
Since childhood,
as alexithymia struck my soul.
I kept all my hopes a secret,
hidden in a bucket of unshared dreams.
I kept my soul sweet like marshmallows,
but life has finally caught up with me,
Like a fast car overtaking...

Timeless adoration
“A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've...

Winter Sonata
"If you're really in love, appearances aren't important. The best house is the one you build in each other's hearts."

Autumn's alliterations amplified an acoustic of death.
Stillness of internal instrumentals silenced my acapella.
Words like wildflowers...

Entombed Enwombed
(Dedicated To Submariners All Over The World)

My steely shell’s a womb.
Deep down amidst the oil and grease
I am at peace in the Lovecraftian tomb!

The Missing Season
The Missing Season
27/07/2020
Whiffs of summery air grow startlingly unfresh
Dying like a withering dream yet almost deathless
Ruffled by an impasse of a senescent, uncrossable viaduct
that goes beyond my knowingness, beyond my conception
Of an unknown...

Music, They Say, Can Cheer the Saddest Heart
Angela, sweep hence these leaden clouds.
Music, they say, can cheer the saddest heart.
Euterpe bids her frowning father smile,
so let her now reveal her powers to me.
And yet you play a doleful Orphic strain.
O let me...

Disease of Sanity

Don’t know much of my geneology
Even don’t belong to minority
But anyone can attach me of course
To the less equal nation in Orwellian sense
For that mental trick...

Amaranthine Beauty
Matriarch of the Serengeti
With Brontide rumbling she guides the family
puffing dust onto dry cracked skin
Gracefully she carries herself, swaying to the music of dancing plain grasses
petrichor rising from the earth brings relief
Amaranthine beauties plod...

Incredible Chameleons
The Chameleon is a remarkable lizard
That changes its color like a magic wizard
Some with amazing face ornamentation
That feels its way by subtle vibration
Some with crests upon their heads
And others with skin flaps that open and...

Immanent Yet Transcendent
Above the plodding, sightless mediocre
A latent embryo breathes,
Awakens the murmurs of the inbred orphic harbinger
Through tangled threads of colorless mesh
Serendipity stirs, sets in motion,
Spirals
Above the weary path of habitual self...

World of Mesmerisms To the World of Foibles
Manoeuvring through purplish cerulean azure

Perching above the whinstone during cockcrow
Possessing allured ala line with grandiosity and passion
Dressed like a virgin woman from ABOVE
Divine messenger? A cherub?

Each Passing Cloud
Indelible link to a bygone event,
one clutches with foolproof recall,
of cerulean cloud-ridden sky,
on that pivotal day I penned my first opus,
I strolled at a leisurely pace,
down this charming but tangled green lane,
that would...

Big Bang’s unfaded sound echoes in the universal core
In eternity the divine light transformed into matter
Material entities remember the hymn of yore
Resonating with the melody of the creator.
Everything born embeds the waves of primal...

Poetry Came To Me
My essence dangled in
Time's barren boughs
And winds of emotions
Passed hurling silence
Rising from crypt
My eyes fixed on hourglass
Watching trapped moments
In nodules of despair
And the strange me
Thriving in my own orphic world
Ever widening galaxy of restless...

Orphic consecration, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Dédicade d’Orphée by T. Wignesan

Lost Heroines
Anna K. had her train

Emma B. chose poison
And Janice heard

the false seduction

Unable to find the thread...

Cosmic Waves
Rose gold love cups in a versatile nostrum

Ephemeral vapors are rising by the podium
Cinnabar meteors devolved from damage.
