The poet finished - Whew! - just in time
    ~ Then he thrashed his dead lines...

The angry wrath of the waves tonight
Thrashed against the Captain's ship
No tranquility, death is near
Damaging winds, sink ship
A brave captain gone
Buried below
With his ship
Now at
Peace...

Within the raging river I was consumed;
In fear I thrashed – with eyes closed there was only darkness.

Then, I was awakened and behind the veil I could not hide –
I have crossed over to the other side....

I married a girl but in fact she was an octopus
Between a hundred leaps and skips she caught hold of a bus
She thrashed the first man she found
Squeezed the second on the ground
And began the head count with the integral calculus....

When the tides of time thrashed 
on the shore leaving the pebbles of memories 
reminding the essence of salty nostalgia, 
I remained near the beach 
skipping the stones back into the ocean
watching them sink to the depths of past....

fragile rice papers
cling to a thrashed wicker wall
and silent gazes
kanji-stained blots become buds
some bloom into ureshii

I am oppressed,

suppressed,
enslaved,
robed and raped.

was thrashed,
insulted and killed.

but I am alive,
by my conscious,

I won't surrender,
and compromise

don't they know?
Who am I ?

I AM _conscious
and conscious never die____...

The Story Of My Life

When my husband's infidelity thrashed
Into a lit dumpster our marriage dashed
A storybook is blackened
And the pages are so saddened
For he booked the wrongful passage that crashed...

Storm clouds swirled on high
Thunder crashed, bolts flashed
Orange burned the sky...
Flames of fire on nigh
Eyes stung as rain lashed
Violent winds thrashed

In this silent foray
Mystic music started to play
That was soothing to ears
A calming balm for the heart
Simple truths revealed
Complicated lies thrashed
To the mystic tune, heart beats danced
Just some moments, revealed all that is
This venture into silence, my greatest adventure...

One night when stars possessed the universe,
plantation winds screamed violently;
Cupid's wings thrashed against a pane. 
When the arrow pierced her chest,
her winter's heart too late
was made to know pure
love. . . Fever came,
and still she
cannot
rest.

What has God in me crushed?
Hunger to have things rushed!
Which words of man God hushed?
Ones that made faces flushed,
Where could God have gains slashed?
In account money stashed!
How has He some men thrashed?
When their speeding cars crashed!

Men whom God never lashed:
Those who had promptly blushed....

Peace by in your 10 am rise
and your imaginary X1 soccer team
let you breathe by the trees
make oxygen for all

Let it be in your Sunday picnic
and kisses by mother
who you miss
On thrashed fields see the wheat kennels wither way

Peace be in your trust
and in your lost white bicycle
or for your friend that moved away
up North...

Tear-gas gunned.
Water-canons-shot;
Beaten...
Thrashed...
I, the unemployed
Stood before that police
One among them
Who had not got the payment himself
At least for a year
Just like me
Happened to lift his police-pole
To hit me
And when he found him facing
His own unpaid brother
Only tears could well up
In both

Sentinel never sleeps;
resting upon water thrashed rocks,
this shining beacon of the sea.
Her watch, sees all,
Her stories sung in shanties,
by old salts;
She holds within the secrets, 
which ocean confides.
She is a lighthouse and 
she never betrays a trust.

Childhood dreams on paper boats
swam in the wake of silk swans. 
Torrent of time on life stream 
carried them to sunset sea.
With twilight wind on thrashed sail, 
I glide beyond seven seas,
where bay of bliss anchors soul.

Dark, tranquil night grew fidgety
With fits of whooshing wind
And sleep, serene, it ebbed away
With pelting, driven rain
While wife of mine, she clutched my hand
‘Neath bedclothes warm and soft—

All through the storm we cuddled tight
As branches bobbed, they thrashed;
Pale dawn, at last, all gray and wet
Brought Eros on a call:
He saw our love, his grin he flashed,
A tempest then stirred up....

Cry Me a Dawn

we fought
and sought
the light
of night


one dance
took stance


puzzled
muzzled


for each
we breach
a path
with wrath


marked hex
what next

plunder
thunder


lightning
heighten

teeth bite
our night
tongue thrashed
hearts splashed


fate drawn
hate spawn
night gone
no dawn

bye curse
it hurt

by chance
ghost dance

You see them with lip - think they all bad
Fighting and shank holding - think they cool but they just sad
Only phrase - are you dizzy blood - lost in their gang
Mate shot him in the leg - not much of a friend then - bang
Sick, Bruv, blood, dizzy and mashed
Stick them in the forces - they'd get thrashed
Drug deal, act bad - nothing else for them to care
Can never love or live as feelings included never to share...

It thrashed away 
Your heavenly hide out
By the fears of the day
Not able to control the scene
Just another bystander
Watching it smash your dream
Tears spilling down
And you can’t help
But always wear a frown
Because you know you lost
And the end is in sight
And your heart is now frost
It has gone away
You heavenly hide out
Because the fears of the day
You’re to blame
Letting it win
So go hide in shame...

They sat him down
In a chair
In a large office
With a gorgeous window
With a fabulous view
And they sent in
One
Only one
That sole representative
Took from their briefcase
A roll of red tape
Flimsy looking
Transparent in places
Red tape
Legally strengthened
With barbs
Then the representative
Beat him
Viscously
With the red tape
And his vision fell
Sliced and compromised
Gasping for breath
Exhausted
Thrashed
Neutralised...

We spent today, singing of tomorrow,
but tomorrow never came.
With naïve hearts we wrote undying love songs, 
to transient deciduous souls.
We mockingly sat deaf at the foot of wise men’s lectures,
while we barked mute revolutions.
Brains thrashed in dormant bodies,
celebrating enlightened states of nothingness, 
We played with our lives,
the way a child plays with a gun.
And we wasted today, 
singing of tomorrow,
but tomorrow never came....

I am sorry                
O far snowy forests 
in her side 
I am 
sorry...               
As i travel today 
after long years 
The love's old ways 
I,                        
I just recall:           
I resisted her and 
rebuked              
Spit and slapped    
Rolled her wrist, 
pushed and 
thrashed          
While tears rolled 
down her flowery 
face                       
And how              
she had 
blubbering begged 
to go......

          POETIC  INHALATION 

           As waves thrashed on emotion,
           causing sense of suffocation ,
           Mind needs poetic inhalation
           to lighten pain,
           to brighten joy,
           to enlighten soul.

           Emotive urge surges,
           Ardent ardour adorns,
           Dormant dream desires.
           
             Ensuing exhalation of ennui .

Fake face
Fake smile
Fake voice
I'll run a mile

Yes master
No master
Of course master
Now master

Gothic witch
Gothic dream
Your downfall
In my smile

Eyes radiating
False adoration
Your spell
Oh so vile

Empty words
Empty syllables
I'll empty out
Your lies

Cold iron
Strong will
My claws ripping
At your heart

Claws ripping 
Blood dripping
My icy,
gleeful smile

Fake face 
Smashed
Fake smile
Thrashed
Fake voice
Silenced
You don't fool me
Anymore ...
