VULNERABLE
Life hit me hard on the face
I became vulnerable
Even when I know many
It's like I know none
None is ready
To support or give a helping hand.
Everyone wants me to be loyal
Even when they know I am royal
Everyone wanna bend me
Even just for bread
They only come after me
Anytime I'm down and vulnerable.
Life keeps

OF LIBERATING POETIC JUSTICE: APROPOS OF FREESTYLE RENDERING
In the composing
of every liberated poet
of poetic justice,
every pen is a freestyle
composition
irrespective of structural
rendering
of the divine birth-wording
that has been given
from the supreme
conductor’s wand’s
instructions
as to where to be
and go
in the rhythmic
flow of
the frothing waves
of awareness
shared in the imaging
canvas of eyes
and ears
to behold that
of the essence
of freed minds
whose souls
are as deep empty wells
waiting to be filled
with

A Heart Rendering Loss
A Poet’s Loss
I walked at length and wondered!
In the icy, pouring rain:_
Wind mercilessly howling,
What I had done in vain!
How a friendship went asunder!
My true, heartfelt,pain.
Your poet’s pen just scowling,
In stuffy, vain and arrogant disdain!

Rendering--
undress--
render to me those fault clothing;
those appeasers that hinder your pours;
unshackle--
unloose those harness;
mental verbiage from your past;
lock up the presents
past being the future tense;
unveil the crossings over;
over cross the veil;

Rendering What's True
Dismal spirits find me jovial to their relief, searching for ways to cut their ties to death,
in spite of their search for an end.
Lights go dim, flash, and then die for only two reasons I'm told.
Winds burn hot, and clouds dance to music with a nimble two step.
I find cumbersome curiosity culpable,
and random happenings within

Heart Rendering
(I'm into a little bit of social service because of which I got a chance to visit a psychiatric center yesterday. This poem is my personal experience)
Walking into the campus, I could feel the difference
Some strange but true smiles came for my welcome
Inspite of the smiles on their faces
I could feel their pain
Those smiles were

Rendering Moments
Once more do I find myself
Beyond that of night
Timeless within moment’s wealth
Of moments to be given sight
Enabling myself for the limits
Beyond all for perhaps a higher calling
Across where time and space meets
With a portraiture in finality for the painting
Yet a picture I do not yet see
Painting with empty words... an empty mind
However much else if

Impression: a Scene From An Empty Urban Apartment.....(A Psychic's Rendering)
"Man, I love that Dire Straits song "Brothers In Arms" ", he said in the kitchen
"That Hammond organ just takes me drifting..."
Through wormholes and lunar craters in a UFO.
Friends, nuclear waste, pain, insomnia, vacuum salesmen, all disappear in a single tone.
"Rosie!!!...bring me a Listerine soaked tissue for my cold sore...Ahh! That's the medicine!"
She struts by
