Premium Member The Art of Patience

In the desolate wasteland of deprivation  
Traversed listlessly by my indigent life 
I tried so very hard for so long  
To smoothen the angularities of our bond. 

Swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation 
Sucked into the abyss of despondent neglect
I searched in vain for the path to your heart
The feeling of dismal denial made me run away. 
 
But had I cultivated the art of patience and stayed on
I would have seen the butterfly of yearning return  
Flitting in the changed time on its dreaming wings 
In my sensuous sky with the lattice of your charisma. 

With the whispering wind it would have created the music 
Harmonized with the rhythm of my heart 
Where longing would have danced with ripples of rhapsody 
Roll between you and me to entwine us forever. 

Consecrating the renascent craving called love 
You would have weaved the design of desire  
On the tapestry of heavenly togetherness 
That would have stayed unfurled till the end of time.

238 Prayer When Anxious

238.

Prayer When Anxious



Oh Father God, I am anxious

Trials might get more serious

Burdens might weighten

Strength might lessen

Oh my Creator, diminish my loads

Oh my Creator, smoothen the roads



Oh Jesus Christ, I'm filled with anxiety

Cross might be harder to carry

I might fall along the way

I might get into dismay

Oh my Savior, help me carry on

Oh my Savior, let me move on



Oh Holy Spirit, I am perplexed

My life might have been hexed

It might be harder to manage

It might bring me rage

Oh my Guide, grant me understanding

Oh my Guide, make me withstanding.

Silence Swaps Vexation

I have realised shortly that "silence"is one of my 
defence mechanism.
At times when sprayed by anger I drape my 
outfit silence.
Yes, I veil my emotions with quietude.
There are lot of aggression boiling inside 
powerful mind which is compressed in 
my conscience.
When somebody don't value my words 
I don't argue, instead ignore them and 
prefer being silent.
Soundlessness combined with darkness 
often impresses me and brings solace.

                           Life is full of frosty
                    thorns while you 
                try adjusting 
         with irresistible 
       people and 
        their place.
        The only way 
            to smoothen 
                   the spines is to
                        smear them with
                                 your calmness
                                        and patience
                                               only up to
                                                  the extent
                                                  that you can
                                                 bear.If those
                                               don't turn into 
                                        petal soft then,
                                slice and smash
                    them with single dare
              without any care.

Words from a Woman

Mrs. Holloway polishes her poetry dimly,
Regaling herself with the accoutrements of
Selected poetry, cluttered and less jinxed
By way of satanic slamming by famished,
Idle critics who read The New York Times
Just once in a sugared year.
She chooses her stanzas locally.
By that I mean her stanzas nurse patience,
Drifting from gossips to loose, impotent
Talks held when midnights ail.
She digresses from north’s steady arrow
To the rump of the south, where watersheds
Of a nation’s difficult history are published.
Chances are that her poetry would win a
Contest in a fortnight, but the era of romance
Is jaundiced, which is her constituency and
Her background for coloured matters.
Her abbreviations for the names of her old
Suitors are carved from pillars to posts – reposting
Caryatids as common sentinels on a poisoned bank—
Losing the Greekness required of such adornments.
O Holloway, read, read, read,
Her acolytes pressure her.
Time loses sense of time in its own timeness,
They warn.
That, to me, is the commonest blandishment.

I should never have sipped from her potsherd
Such stale beer as she offered on the day her
Poetry was reviewed by a proscribed newspaper.
But her urge for anything dead and horrid,
Egged me on, especially when she narrated
The murder of seven sisters by seven creatures that
Very Sunday morning when the taverns closed
Before they opened.
Holloway shocked me with the gory details.
Oh, I forgot to tell you she hankers after things
Truly, truly hebdomadal.
I call her Mrs. Holloway the Hebdomadalist.
Seven churches, seven trumpets,
Seven seals, seven heads, seven horns... and now
Seven sisters murdered by seven creatures.
That’s why her poetry is cluttered.
Full of nerves and airs of salutes,
Mrs. Holloway’s poetry thunders.

She presumes that time will, like the morning
Dew, settle on the sinews of her poetry.
(And I agree with her) .
And smoothen it —yes, time, the masseur of
All time.
Smoothen it.
Oil it.
Massage it.
And level it.
At least to street level.
(And I agree with her) .

Premium Member Tapestry of Belonging

The forlorn wasteland of deprivation traversed
by my indigent life that tried long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the obtuse mind.
Swirling in egregious whirlpool of indignation,
sucked into the abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for me a path of passion within,
leading through the pulsating portal to my heart,
not yet frosted in the bare winter of desolation.

The spring of desire came with hour of awakening,
soaring on the dreaming wings of the flying time.
In my sky you flittered like an beguiled butterfly,
its fluttering cadence created a silent symphony,
synchronized with the rhythm of my revived heart,
where emotions danced on the ripples of rhapsody 
that rolled endlessly between two of us to entice me,
and to consecrate the divine institution called love,
make it diaphanous weaving the delicate tapestry
with motif of belonging for us to unfurl in eternity.

Winds, Rocks, Fires, and Skies

Maybe I’m not the standard of the jigsaw puzzles
that fragment your brain.
Surely, I am judged because I take courage—
to smoothen a life
with my roughhewn experience.
Daring, I am, to discard the chauvinistic pigs
that raise an eyebrow, for I carry on.
Honesty is my trademark, and improvising my serve
places me as wanted, not in servitude.
Uniqueness is all you see, 
for I am the strength of my responsibilities
— committed and fixed.
Shine I will, as I always do —
not for society, not for the world at large,
but for myself, for God, and for family.
Maybe it’s the pain I carry,
a burden to ensure the world is better for you.
I cradle the blessings for future generations;
my name is written in the winds, rocks, fires, and skies.
“Take time, take self, take your name
into the passion of committed faith.
Not as a penitent, wretched sinner,
but as a last-days’ follower of the coming Christ.
Not because you must, but because your faith
sees the Glory of the coming King.
And He, the Holy Spirit, opens the eyes of your heart
to have the blessed assurance of glory—
To be caught up, or rise—
the rapture.
Are we ready for it?
We aren’t, are we?
Or we are, aren’t we?
You alone know.”

Ripples

She ‘wanders’ with ‘intent’ that way
Her inside seems to be in turmoil-
Regrets, disappointments, griefs and complaints
Life apparently quite unjust to her
Eyes the still waters of the pond-
Cool, calm and confident
Her very antithesis
Her leisurely pace undisturbed
Picks up some pebbles ‘just like that’
One, two, three----
They fall
Every time with a soft plonk
Trying to unravel
Hidden mysteries of the still waters
While she lets go of
Her pent up feelings
And with every hit
Pond’s unease comes onto the surface
Ripples frantically racing shorewards
One, two, three-----
Trying to find the person
Perhaps to kiss and smoothen the ruffled nerves
But a ‘safe distance’ lies in between
As her uninterrupted walk
Biding the time
Has taken her away
Beyond reach.

Premium Member Lattice of Desire

The desolate wasteland of deprivation traversed 
by my indigent life that tried so long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the obtuse mind. 
Swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation, 
sucked into the dark abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself a path of passion within, 
leading through the pulsating portal to my heart, 
not yet frosted in the perennial winter of despair. 

The spring of yearning came in hour of awakening, 
soaring on the dreaming wings of the silenced time, 
stalled in my satin sky where you flew like a butterfly, 
its fluttering cadence created a surreal symphony, 
harmonized with the rhythm of music of my heart, 
where emotions danced on the ripples of rhapsody 
that rolled between you and me to entwine us forever, 
consecrating concealed concept of craving called love. 
You made it diaphanous weaving the lattice of desire
on tapestry of longing to stay unfurled till end of time.

The desolate wasteland of trepidation traversed 
by my jagged life that strived relentless for so long   
to smoothen the innate angularities of serrated mind, 
swirling in the egregious whirlpool of sucking indignation. 

Siphoned into sordid abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself a pathway of passion within, 
leading through the pulsating portal to my affable heart, 
not yet frozen passive in the prolonged winter of desolation. 

The spring of longing came with fragrance of fervor, 
floated on the dreamful wings of fleeting emotive time
across the flush of my floral heart where you had flittered
like a butterfly creating the cadence of chromatic symphony. 

The concert of the mesmeric music of my yearning, 
refrained the rhythm of concealed current called love,
that rolled between you and me to interweave us forever, 
as engrossed emotions danced with the ripples of rhapsody.

"Point of no Return"
**************************************************************

                                      Death is a "Point of no Return"

                           Labouring with his flagging wings to fly,
                          Like lame lark he soars above cotton clouds
                         During the day and night to reach the sky
                            As with invisible wings he`s endowed;

                             It`s his soul quitting his bodily frame
                            That lying abed for some woeful weeks
                      With sustained stretch of stinging pains aflame
                            Now to part away is yearning to seek;

                          Afflicted to very core with heart ailment
                          Rescue has reached a point of no return,
                            With his closest of kin torn with lament
                         And his spouse expressing deepest concern;

                               Half alive half dead, gazing at he sky
                                  He appears living in another world,
                           Silent and speechless with no sigh, his eyes
                        Dipped in some distant dreams are nearly curled.

                             Death is implacable and knows no bound,
                               When knells for us our final divine bell
                          Like yellow autumn leaves we kiss the ground
                                 And to smoothen its will no tale to tell.

                             Simple folks or monarchs, vassals or lords
                           At their journeys` end kneel before its shrine
                                   And to cajole it just cannot afford
                              Nor to sidestep its smashing sizzling shine

                                   Death, indeed, is a point of no return
                               It respects neither caste nor creed nor rank
                                     And allows not to make any U- turn
                                   Nor does it permit any playful pranks.
