Long Orphic Poems

“In the time when the heart beat slows” 

In the time when 
the heart beat slows
I close my eyes 
and meet you there
that place of aether
the either or,
the conversation 
takes a turn,
all the trees holding
creatures...

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...

“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...

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

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

(Dedicated To Submariners All Over The World)
 
Dived deep in the bowels of the seas
My steely shell’s a womb.
Deep down amidst the oil and grease
I am at peace in the Lovecraftian tomb!
 
What’s with the...

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...

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...

The congregation of passportology
Is an overwhelming majority
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...

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...

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...

Manoeuvring through purplish cerulean azure

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.

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

the wind down there fills my veins dizzy drunk
and my redoubled hangover numbs...

Lost Heroines

Anna K. had her train

Emma B. chose poison
And Janice heard 
and succumbed to
the false seduction 
of her lethal needle.

So many distraught, gifted souls
Lost in that far country
Unable to find the thread...

Ephemeral vapors are rising by the podium

Ballet of calm swans glissades, silhouette
placed culled singles tryst, pond sides by vast knoll,
balters few burbled matches. Grasped sunset
whilst espy eyes pry, as through a peephole,
faint lights pair,...
