Suffering speaks


Suffering  speaks.          
Suffering   sniffs   some  trouble, brewing
In the air, stares  from   afar,
Suffering   endures  suffering
Not knowing the   cause of suffering,
The  greatest  suffering, my dictates 
Tell me  is  to  suffer   not  knowing
What    for you  suffer, you   are  stifled,
Diplomatic  relationships  around you
Aplomb: disowning   you, yet buttress
A  solidarity   to you , you  know  it is 
All   fake.  Your  suffering    
 understandingly   Giggles  at   you,
suffering    unfurls  this  uncanny
and   conniving   world   around  you,
suffering   makes  you  read ,scan
the  hitherto  blank  pages                    
 a  void,  a   hidden   vista  of
secrets, you   read  many  encryption            
behind   this   suffering.
Suffering    says   you   endure me.

This is an age of dissent.


          This   is  an  age of  dissent.
 This is  an age of  flamboyant    dissent    
Pact   with   disagreement, thwarting
Disambiguation . I see  the  intricate  bunches,
mushrooms  are  many.
Burning, burning, burning,
Piety  is  compressed ,a  pea-nut
  burnt  like weeds and                 
Straw   in the  garden,          
Acoustics  proliferate 
Honest good living,
 Kind of     Weathering  goes on.
This is an age of flamboyant dissent.

Women dive,dignified,into the sea of life,

Fear grips for horror 
of female infanticide,

lifeless for lost child,

in the railway platform,

emotions vie with 
wheeling brakes.

It is the dead of night,
humanity is still,
phone vibrates pitch darkness,

the message of love and
lost connection, at sixty,
wrong calls, at wrong times.

In the God ordained book of Life,
every page is marvelous working,
a mystery, beginnings, endings 
mythical middle, a debate,
like a pendulum swings,
Predestination or man’s own
doing, persists .

The hermaphrodite was least concerned for his predicament,

on the contrary he delighted to be so, for the government has extended

some concessions for the peculiar clan, for happy life.

Of conundrums, yet, those fallen petals,
Of mixed emotions,

You cling to your Avatar, diligence,
Your blood , children, hope and rejuvenation.

As a beauty conscious mother,
She preferred dancing then,
Child’s crying she construed
a detestable noise, abhorred
rocking cradle, child bearing
a burden, now God silenced
her womb , her abode.

deep seated, deadly with the
Seductive seeds of venom paired,
in the garden of his heart,
smug, colourful, roses of divinity,
serve as antidote.

your day-dream is an extended 
metaphor of realized ambition,

majesty, leads to the untapped 
aviary of colourful birds, 
melody in chirping
ryhthm in rivulets,
mountains, mysteries.

Oystered pearls and wisdom.

it was the beer which made him the addict,
it was the same which made inroads
into his life,
deprived his warmth, his wife.

    now eerie silence.

chases you to the end.

Removes his tight shoes ,

She is a coolie, daily wage earner,
Can afford only buttermilk,
Chocolates and cakes beyond her purse,
Sees a craving for these affluence 
in her son’s eyes,
Affection stretches beyond.

As man’s meticulous plans,
Almighty’s decisions mismatch,
I started with poem of thirty words,
ended up with narration of hundred
lines, began with my tale, ended
in her confounding story.

It is a hazardous journey.



 It    is  a    hazardous    journey

Rueful    of  the tricky ,dark  hazardous
Journey, you   type    your  geography less
Out pouring, each  tab  is  a   ping  pong ,
Reflective , recording  your  innings:
He  comes  straight  through  the undiluted
Undeviated  path   as usual   as his   white
Beams   are   a  therapy  to  your   tormented
Soul. For  him   no  dogma,  nor  miasma:
Yet   my encircling   darkness,
 a  connivance  by   small    human ,
To  undo   my  survival . Sun      
To   replenish , to  console  and   care.
Dark  is  riveted   in the  corner.

Karma of consciousness


    Karma of consciousness
I carry my Karma of consciousness,
Or Consciousness of karma,
On my head, prudent and wary,
Different nomenclature,
Yet one identity,one reality,

I carry my Karma of consciousness,
Or Consciousness of karma,
A pot of injunctions,
A fear,tremor, shiver:
Lest it should incur wrath of Gods.
