Eliot's
waste
                 land
                  so

                while
                 away

Because I do not hope 
Because I do not hope to turn 
I'm going to leave this heap 
By the side of the road 
And hitchhike home....

Poets have no schools to learn,

But to teach,

He himself a school of poems,

That I learned,

Shakespeare to Eliot,teachers,

But A Iqbal,mine,

Iqbal means fame, a theme like his name!...

What tune do politicians excrete
Upon their plank to please?
                                    Manana !
What response do husbands bleat
From a chair,at ease ?
                                    Manana !...

The
rainstorm
overnight
burst the shallow
dyke-
the
raging
river in
overflowing
flood
streamed
forth long
weeds plaited 
now beneath the
spate.


Image inspired by an image from the writing of George Eliot...

George Eliot, an important English Victorian Era writer,
born Mary Ann Evans, she must have been quite the fighter.
Supporting abolitionists and loving whomever she wanted,
“Marion” went against the norms, seemingly undaunted!...

when paper profits they prepare ?

Hangovers are a back-tax on fun.

To paraphrase T.S. Eliot: 
"Can last night just belong to last night?”

I’m not thinking about sins and penance 
or making any bound-for-failure resolutions.

I’m giving myself a mental health break....

An eddy of dry leaves,
Dancing in the wind 
The dance of death,
Moves to mulch. 
I've seen this falling,
Mr. Eliot, and would say
September is the cruelest month,
Making supper for Spring
Out of lives that must give way
To future appetites....

Some with words,swear so free
so lightly from their lip will trip 
                                          JESUS!
He who in mind's eye I see
and with this word I worship
                                          JESUS !


Inspited by Acts 2:26 and 30...

you&I
   in half deserted streets
lets go,then
    linger awhile
time
    to wonder
        I dare say
there
   is
       time
shall we begin
you&me
it will worthwhile
to walk
      upon the beach
in the sea
     blown back
      by waves
do you agree

...keep our metaphysics warm
( From : Whispers of Immortality/T.S.Eliot)


Keep our metaphysics warm
in dorm sheet our handmaiden
work like monsters bazooka
Slit our conscience and alas
masturbation is a metaphor
Hammer and chain God is lost
Only interpretation, function
of power not even truth, fly....

Past dweller healed by time
Second hand ticked, curse expunged
A fellow, awaits on twelve
As arrived, nightmare has fallen


“Only through time, time is conquered”

I must confess 
I'm more than a little envious of Mozart 
A tad jealous of Beethoven 
Obsessed with Shakespeare 
And enthralled by Eliot, 
And like the phases of the moon 
Changing in their season 
Time and the mood may vary 
But true greatness remains.

Prufrock’s Symbolic World
 
Metaphors-Extraordinaire
Thomas Stearns Eliot
Metaphysical consciousness
Aura of aging and decay.

Streams of consciousness forever
Proto-disillusionment
The mermaids singing each to each
The mermaids will not sing today.
