The gingerbread house

It was a ginger bread house,


It was a gingerbread house I designed,
before laziness could denounce my ensign,
I constructed in earnest,
for the festive occasion of Christ’s Nativity,

It was the avid gingerbread house with
Candy and plums spread around,
spooky and sweet, definitely not nondescript,
for the festive occasion of Christ’s Nativity,

It was the gingerbread house we all relished,
with a vow to demolish all bickering around,
I prayed many a more ginger bread house,
Should ward off all our grouse.

Bitter tablets


Bitter tablets

1)
The soul’s accelerated avid momentum
to merge with the ALONE attains fruition
only with steadfastness and sincerity.

2)
When the soul’s unquenchable thirst
To reach the alone is avidly unabated,
God’s mercy is amply augmented.


3) Ambition like a seasoned conman
Strikes REASON threadbare and hardcore
Devouring amateur and aged alike.

4) I sit at God’s Altar
not to clamor for any mundane favor
but to seek Divine succor.


5) When principles and personalities clash,
to make your life a humdrum trash,
Divine succor comes as a splash!


6) A beggar’s appearance needs no subscription,
while a palanquin beggars all description,
why this disparity in Creation?

7) Brazen shields and glossy swords,
gore the earth into bloodbath,
Ending up to endless configurations and wrath.


8) When you are steeped in abysmal worry,
your face into your hands bury,
here comes to resuscitate Ashbery

Welcome ye New Year!

Welcome ye New Year!

Come, ye golden lady of riches,
I name you New Year unique,
Opulent with all riches, magnificent,
You are the ivy, evergreen,
Keeping the right foot on the threshold,
The illumined lamp cupped in your hands,
Come ye! Golden lady of riches,


There, in the vast arena
of jubilant gathering
The bugles shots high,
The proud bursting crackers
Itinerant towards the sky,
Rebel and mock at the silent gloom,
The itching hag of Darkness,
That rivet in the corner, pretending
to be unsullied, shaping itself
into the penurious, depressed,
honk into the devious,
ye the devilish, go to go,

Come ye! Golden lady of riches,
With all resplendence and prosperity.

Chrstmas Tree

Christmas Tree

Here in Tesco I saw a Christmas tree,
Entwined with bulbs of twinkling glee,
I took a vow no more there shall be,
Hunger, misery and vile penury around me.

When plums and cakes pour in bowls of plenty,
Christmas carols and songs in dainty,
Can we allow the dingy monster of dirty?
to usurp the greenery, a sordid pity,

In the merry England of snow and snow,
There shall be a big no, and only no,
No to wants and needs, you know,
Only God’s plenty, yes! We know.

A note on Death

A note on Death

Oh! Death, don’t be dandy like,

You and me are caught between ding-dong,

The bells are still ringing,

Your darting arrows are disgruntled,

You are fidgety, frivolous,

In your bituminous and dyspeptic mood,

You eject blasphemy of life,

I wish you to be dodo.
