They Stitched My Tongue

THEY STITCHED MY TONGUE

&

they stitched my tongue with their arrogant clubs

and robbed me naked for the mindless YELLOW

swishing their blinding blades letting out my throbbing RED-

i became a tattered football in the game of their orgy

and suffocated drenched in their nasty abuses in flood-

my journeys in city buses resembled my funeral procession

with unruly namesake students battering the interior-

the courts transformed into centres of lawlessness and deceit

Forms of Wealth

To money is attributed wealth
But the open truth of wealth
Is, It is not the only kind of wealth—
There are also other forms of wealth!

Good health is the best form of wealth
Forging rich links in relationships is wealth
Spontaneous love for all life forms is wealth
To have enthusiasm in life is wealth.

Acquiring life-long learning is wealth
Experience and wisdom in life is wealth
Meeting new people is also wealth
Visiting new places too is authentic wealth.

The quest to explore something is wealth
To have a positive mind-set is wealth
Existence of deep internal peace is wealth
Early morning waking up with joy is wealth.

Keats

Keats wanted the constancy of the bright star
only to see the heaving breast of his ladylove
only to hear the heartbeat of his sweet heart
Call it bathos?
Or your woman's breast is no longer a breast
It is the ocean fathomless and boundless
telling of endless bang and contraction of the multiverse
ceaseles flow tide and ebbtide by turns
night and day and life and
d eath
trying to catch the locks of hair of each other
And you can hear the cosmic logos now and then manifesting in bangs
If you could love your wife like that
you might be transformed into abright star
iooking upon the flux of existence from the sublime heights of detachment
And of course the earth and the woman will look sublime
But does it make any sense to the woman or the earth?
Those who helped you to excelsioor.

A Depressed Girl

a depressed girl

&

her eyes have strayed into the horizon

never to return for eternity, it seems;

or have they struck a chord with another soul?

her heart is a boiling cauldron of conversations;

she tries to serve to all near ones through her tight lips

but none seems to have appetite for her delicacies;

she has hence forsaken this proximate world of far off hearts

Beauty In Unity

Once upon a time,
The colours had a fight;
Each one of them in line,
Proclaimed their right.

Green proudly averred,
‘ I'm the one on Earth,
With be-witching greenery covered—
None is so very worth.'

Blue came forward to say,
‘Oh! My! The rolling sea,
And the skies in sway,
Are all but blue, you see! '

Yellow stood soaring,
‘ Colours of the Sun and Moon
Are mine—brightly glowing,
Only I've the lovely boon, '

Mental Wealth

Mental Wealth
Every one has to necessarily work
to sustain their lives on earth,
and not go berserk.

For food, clothing and shelter,
material wealth is required,
else one may go helter-skelter.

Inner wealth of mind
is to be developed first,
which is to be compassionate and kind,

With patience and generosity,
uprightness and worthy of respect,
with knowledge sans pomposity.

There exist various forms of life species:
none is so particularly special
and valuable as our human species!

The Leader with Self-Esteem

A leader with high self-esteem
Would be the leader of the team.

He should have good education
And posses ethics and morals with elation.

He should treat others with respect utmost
Be humble, and even-tempered in his post.

With others he should mingle and encourage
And not be glued to his cabin's cage.

He should exhibit impersonal attitude
Be helping, compassionate with the multitude.

Of mind he should be least emotional
And a patient listener, with thoughts rational.

He ought to have a character—dignified
Lest others take him for a ride.

I Am The Last Flower Of This Flowering Season

i am the last flower of this flowering season!

&

I am the last flower of this flowering season

and my tree and the season looks jaded and tired-

there is none to take leave of

nor anyone to see me off

when the softest wind would gently snap my ties

with the slender stalk that dreamily holds me aloft

and send me in swirling descent

for a final kiss of the earth
