A Cyclical Life
Here in the heavy depths of insolent woes,
We gesture and talk and waste our time,
Staking claim to each minute of our earthly life,
Running the hours through a clock by the day,
Never sated, not content to...

In Search of Some Non-Sense
The changed wind today,
Blows a spontaneous rhythm;
Endlessly on broken chords.
As every He/She pendulums blindingly,
To blend and bend themselves craving for,
Inquest of a roller-coaster joyride inside;
And ultimately is found to return,
Tuning itself in-wards;
On blind voyages from...

The Romantic Grapes
The Fragrance from your flute
Wafting in the air
The powder of morning in your hair
And the Robins in their throat
In your smile clouds float
Red and pink layer
Golden alphabets stare
The river flows on
Sprinkled sun melts in water

Hell's Screams
Although I love, I don’t agree
Sometimes the heart – it just can’t see
Beyond the sin, the iniquity
Fleshly desires, taunting me.
Although I love, I don’t agree with her
She’s pointing the way, a connoisseur
Of sin in this...

It's Your Life
Mom, how he could do like this to me,
the girl murmured while sobbing;
My dear, don’t cry, the Mom said;

Never expected such acts from dear ones;
Shaken, feel such acts are unforgivable.

Euphoric Deliverance Provokes Deft Writer
Neither fame, nor fortune sought,
sans this anonymous wordsmith,
whose quirky pastiche (no matter
evokes collywobbles, when risky
business undertaken to spill forth
most confidential personal woes),
broadcasting a heart of darkness,
Joseph Conrad might find quaint-
lee amusing, & considerably less
far reaching...
