Travelling To Moon

Blood and bones 
become qualification 
watching and being watched. 
 
Eyes in introspection 
incubation 
waking the black dawn. 
 
Anguished 
blank stares, after dispossession 
collapse on the hills in confusion – 
 
umpteen times. Ontogeny 
repeats filial love 
after parental loss. 
 
Monofloral we stay, 
you cannot do anything 
except to collect the honey. 
 
Shot in the face, my name. 
The next tragedy 
begins at home! 
 
Break the cutlery 
there is no water, 
frogs will not jump today.

…… Small Gods

Shared my solitude, gave me comfort, 
the road, my prelude to a long journey 
moved with me. 
 
Sensual saints had a break midway 
bolting the stars, when bruised arms 
were building the shelter. 
 
An offering to genius was not accepted 
cold blooded murder of a dream. 
Overnight my hair turned white 
a genuine tale was twisted. 
Absence of’me’ was not a meaning of death. 
I was learning to live. 
 
Can you tell me, what is time? 
The clocks are crazy, do not slow down, 
end was near without stopping, 
The spirit was moving through formless door. 
Everything was lost in space, the space 
and unfolding were becoming one. 
 
I was talking to prisnors of small gods 
a snuffed lamp, living voice and beasts.

Wish Rags

Into the dark enters the blue; 
a homeless song punctures the cloud: 
gentle grass was never so green. 
 
The colors start fading 
there was no other movement. Sun strides in. 
No going, no coming of pain. No propitiatory 
prayer of mine or yours. 
I seek the wisdom of a tree. 
 
Like hawthorn collecting the wish rags 
fluttering in desert flora. 
A husband, a father, a patriarch 
in heart of conception, malice for none. 
 
Give we some peace of Ash, 
rebirth of thinking, 
return to being, 
burnt out self.

Scalding Me

A lamplit page 
that smells your body. 
I still remember the 
cajoling maneuver to give 
me a spin. 
 
Oysters. They were crawling 
to eject the pearls. And 
spiders weaving a net 
to trap my thoughts. A 
fly lands in the labyrinth. 
 
War of attrition. A tremor 
shakes the pillars. Moments 
of disintegration. The fragments 
throw the footprints in 
your hands. 
 
You cannot write your 
name on your book.

Tree Fall

They felled a huge tree. 
Some Druid feared that it had an afterlife 
and it sleepwalked at night 
but it was me. 
My tracery 
my shade. 
 
Beyond the sounds I had landed 
here as a seed. 
Today I am visiting my ancestral home 
my walls and my soil 
I am I was. 
 
I am in every tree 
every tree was me 
a mute, silent submission of learning 
the first translator of nature 
the sculptured journey in time. 
 
Destruction and eternal fall 
I want not to happen 
still it goes on 
masterpiece of death.

No Answer

Prisoner of praise 
was slave of anger: 
sucks the rival in high speed. 
 
The violence travels 
from roots to leaves 
The lake bleaches, puts out the skull 
a myth is washed out 
in complete agony. 
Give me the hemlock 
I am ready to burn inside. 
 
Crazy moon 
where did you go? 
Hunger had been arrested in bloody eyes. 
Now fumes are rising. 
 
The iron fist no longer strikes 
demands to know 
why you had to go? 
 
For the first time 
I had no answer.

Backtracking

Leave something for me to imagine. 
A skeleton in a pond 
leaps to the moon. 
 
In an air bubble 
lies the history of a suspended 
name, wasted away on water. 
 
A war is declared on the 
family of words, not spoken 
to anguish of man. 
 
I thought of my sun 
averting a disaster. The sprouts 
will not come out of the earth. 
 
An enquiry into the nature of 
immanence, leads to starvation. 
The body of truth turns into a snake. 
 
The revolution within, shows 
a false victory. You start again 
from the ugly fingers.

Happy Valley Of Stings

I don’t fake the pain 
pain was me. 
A grafted rose opens up along the road rage. 
 
This was the city of my birth 
my oblivion, my reincarnation 
ejaculated from the dark. 
 
Here I found the golden dust 
nuggets of truth 
and the nostalgia of a broken moon. 
 
The marble white love 
and green bowl of arms 
a happy valley of stings. 
 
The sun backtracks on hills 
when I walk on sands 
leaving the deep scars. 
 
A small horizon was my window 
hunger of nightingales on branches. 
The tree was walking in, my house.

Dust

Creeping in waking night 
was fear of fear 
and you wanted to accept the defeat 
retreat, 
It gives you solitude of 
blank space, featureless. 
 
The terrorist mask of blazing guns 
bribing the absent gods, 
for whom you are aiming? 
 
The holy man on road 
fakes, 
crushing the grass 
lilies getting flattened under the giant wheels. 
 
Moving an bloody toes 
festering heels 
carrying the sacred earth under the nails 
all night. 
peeling the time, throwing the skn 
and waiting 
for the dust to settle.

Pick Up The Dawn

He was not him, 
today the day ended with a boom, 
had walked aimlessly for hours 
in half fear and half hope. 
 
Window filters a new moon. It 
burns the pillow, wets the glass, 
had he kissed goodbye 
to the glass house? 
 
Tired of being a dwarf 
bridging the gap between hurts and animus. 
The truth was only known to the deported. 
 
Smoldering in the cauldron for years 
he was never ripe for the plunge; 
his kind refused to cling to straw for ever. 
 
Wanted inner shength to stand 
against the shots, to read the illegible words 
and pick up the dawn from falling stars.
