Long Rudiment Poems

IX.

In the ICU, machines create their own songo—
ventilator, heart monitor, IV pump—
forming an accidental orchestra
the clutch of machinery holding time
like a hi-hat choking its own decay.

Underneath the electronic rhythms
the human body maintains its own
stubborn organic...

The Caricature 
You like to label it as a nefarious empire
 brought to power by an unpropitious circumstance
paint a picture of evil and malfeasance
blood soaked canvas is the final image 
mass murderers, the greatest genocide

Screaming writhing violent
uncontrollable spasms of abandonment
immediately followed her (like Mary's lamb)
where e'er she went
verbal communication attempt didst rent
ear piercing outpouring

barrage heard clearly by vested gent,
a bajillion miles away e'en
stymying the likes of Lois Lane, Clark...

Due to community quarantine enforcement
along social distancing detachment
our faculty meeting of task-assignment
went virtual via technology’s involvement
midst great excitement, anticipating joyous fulfillment.

Since such was first-time engagement
we strove not to be shocked by technical puzzlement
as we burst...

i ignored their existence, except for one snapshot.
i didn’t know you could shop. i was not caught

up in the spiral, the velocity, the thunder to the top.

Hoping everyday there will be a vicissitude in your thinking.
Irritation and repose.
Waiting.
For a text, a call, reticence.
White space on paper.
Empty.
I drank your wine.
I reveled in your game.
Laid nude and bent over your couch while you...

Young ones you’ve heard of love
And the beautiful rudiment of it
You must have been told by folks
How sweet is the very first kiss
Under the bright or dark sky 
With a burning emotion kindled inside

Young ones...

Dead are the pure days, when colour wasn’t the issue
When food and culture, before the moral punctures
Before came predators to hunt, and scavenging vultures
To make a rudiment of, our own footpaths by tortures

Dead are the...

The termination, the conclusion,
the tail  end of the year.
Strong resolution, dermier decision,
to walk on without any fear. 

December, make it a moment  to remember, 
the month of joy,  the month to rejoice....

From the beginning of man’s life
Like other creatures he survives
Breathing air and drinking water
Freely available aplenty in Nature
It was the business world helped by the rulers
Which stopped free supply, bottled the water 
Selling it against...

An Accomplishment

Put forth effort and away time went
What I did was an accomplishment
Writing poems until fingers were worn
Between next one to write I was torn.

In my case, what would you want to do
Set an excellent...

Scenes flicker as memories refresh
in the winds pathway of serenity, nature’s rudiment of music
reality stands still as time proceeds
in a network template of silence where musical rhythms are born
memories connect, thoughts reassemble, moments rearrange
reverse, rewind...

With brisk - north - wind; lakeside trees yield
along flowered banks and open green field.
Where mountains shed their waters down
and from harsh elements they shield.

Crisp- cold- water flows soft with wind
sudden breeze dips, reflections bend.

Education is her business;
Here, she needs no helper witness,
In all her classrooms Time Table,
In dormitory Dining Table…

Has now dumped chalk for Board Marker-
School has to be a pace-maker,
Where ‘Behavior becomes “Conduct”
Reader of Reports guess “Product”

I Love you, I love you with all my might,
So much I think I shall perish with the force
The rain reminds me of those endless games under the sun,
A queer paradox; but the stance is...

You've fought bravely 
Eclipsing your fear and obstacles 
Useful hours quietly given to knowledge 
Soar above today's greatness for there's miles to go 

Be an exemplary leader
The shimmering light on your path a guidance
