Sadist’s tormenting

Sadist’s tormenting

I told my torturer,

“I want to meet you tomorrow

“Instead of next week”

As if world would meet its end in between

I laughed when my torturer made jest

I wept when my torturer felt pain

Little by little

My torturer absorbed me

While I was lost in those eyes

An Infidel’s God

An Infidel’s God

(Ascription to Michael “Dexter” Hall)

Virtues akin to vices

Stronger has their set of laws

Weaker has their share of exclusive punishments

I won because I strike my opponent first

Before judges could start the bout

When I see my victims

Searching for my next move

I forget my inner dark passenger

And, I myself, change into Dark Angel

Bowing to only Lord –

Red Blood running in veins

I am the creator of red hue

I am the owner of the ‘Slice of Life’

To cut my iffier connection to Homo sapiens’ ewe

I must endear the exalting job of blood spattering

Chanterelle

Chanterelle

Loosing senses when I was about to see my soul mate

Her Eyes were about to twinkle

Like a quasar

My body was about to erupt

When I lost consciousness

Her aura was too powerful

To see the hidden moon, inside

I had created a sculpture

And worshipped its aroma

So much that my rudder was fevered

And my forehead was ricked

When I reached the pinnacle

Of the mushroom, one that

I had eaten from Her Hands

I heard a last lullaby

Congratulating me for being the last one

Who cared to dance

And played lyre

Amour

Am²our

My trivial abyss has awakened again

To haunt me –

Patronizing me to shed more teardrops;

To hear me cry

For Her Arms, I linger and

My lips to cast shadows over Her Lips;

My temples to touch Her Feet;

My fingertips to play unto Her

The Music of my Soul:

Cello on stand afore Her

And violin in my hands

We’d play the ‘New Age’

And then, Chamber, for sure.

O Sun, illuminating the Earth!

Tell Her don’t Leave me

Alone to Darkness

In Silence

In Silence

I shatter stones into pebbles

I travel to Venice and Naples

I confine myself as chaplain in chapels

I buy flowers with New Shekels

I listen to Fiona Apple’s

I make countless ripples

I fly like seagulls

I change gold into nickels

I scrutinize those scurrilous scruples

I walk on long hair-breadth cables

I become lion and prey on jackals

I devour Her as fire to maples

Magic II: Beyond Mountains Lies nothing

Magic II: Beyond Mountains Lies nothing

(Dedicated to my grandmother)

Asking Nostradamus

To precognize my Past

Explorers have given me the name of unassailable

…My acme was unreachable

I killed myself in dark alleyways

So, She would not have to bear the tag of murderer

Souls of Napoleon and Hitler met at Kremlin

The medium burnt himself afterwards

Her mesmerizing Personality

Was melting ice on summits

A physiognomy expert told Her,

“M. Loves You!”

Last Breath of Underdogs

Last Breath of Underdogs

No one killed the spirit

Only the confinement inside body

At the same place for millennia

Has stopped its courage

And velour

Needed to make swift decisions

And point blank range bull’s eye

Last egg hatched by the bird

In her secret nest

Was of her rivals!

Striking the bells of the church

And beckoning to the virgin

To the alter

For the best man

Had lost his footings on threshold!

Triumphing over lesser

But bowing before the powerful

La Guillotine

La Guillotine

Why She snatches my breaths?

If I can’t Love Her

The way I want to do

I am alive for I am not dead!

My voice travelled

Across the universe and came back

To listen to its buried tenderness

Was to flog myself

In the brightest hour of Revolution

When the master was burnt

Alongside his slaves

I was creating a list of crimes

Committed by others

Bestowed upon me

Hold the bars!

Look through the vista!

Was the color of your foe’s blood not red?

Clotting in the desert ruled by vultures

Were their women not like your mothers and daughters?

Keeping the last shred of shroud on their dismal bodies

Would butterflies in their fields not call flowers their lovers?

Torrential!

Torrential!

Torpid was hit

By a torpedo

Tornado was cut

By a topaz!

The topknots of Tories

Were torn by Greens

Tormenting the totalitarian

With a tortoiseshell!

A toreador was toppled

Before toting the bull

Upon a topsy-turvy tor

By his own horse!

The topless topography

Of my city was vulgar

And Topiaries of my city

Became tonsured!

Torr of torrid

Torsion my torso

Before I could have

Tossed the Torch, too!

Enraptured

Enraptured

When the Jupiter was passing the Venus

And the sun was throwing flares

I saw a broken yellow Moon

Wishing to wish on a wishing star

The tranquil sky was half covered

With smoky clouds

The spring was arriving

Or so was shown by young leaves

Even if I bled to death

Before Her peaceful Eyes

Would She not just shrug Her well poised Shoulders?

With Majestic Grace

E3 — Electric, Elastic, Ecstatic

E3 — Electric, Elastic, Ecstatic

Fools thought they had outmanoeuvred Mother Nature

When they discovered fire

When they made wheel

When they created wire

When they found code of amino acid

Outlasting humans was the Science sole aim

Creating bombs and gunpowder

Dynamite was fashioned by a Nobel

Strings begin to sound music

Dragging noise within

The Flute was thrown to the woods

Cells of humans bursting with pleasure

(While happiness is nowhere to be found)

Olympics torch with cell, even

Talking to neighbor needs a cell!

Looking down from Mars

Thousands of years ago

The Last Martian thought

They would ban children from throwing stones

Can death be cheated?

Two stones would eventually kiss

Before rolling on to the bush…

Magic

Magic

Hypnotizing myself to purge Her Memories

Showing Houdini the right way to escape

Memories serve as Roger serves

(For those who have not their loved ones in their arms)

To cheer and weep alike

But what of me?

My dreams are ended abruptly

By star’s bodyguards

“Who Think they are better than most of us”

******

Solitude was redeemed

When I saw Her

Beside my coffin

Smoothing my outfits

Smiling without knowing

My wings were broken

My face was hidden

Her Lips Touched mine

She said nothing

And went away to the next studio!

Empathy: Inferior Civilizations

Empathy: Inferior Civilizations

You love to hurt yourself

Tell me

Have somebody marred your youth

Like mine

That you don’t stop breathing

Inside black holes

Which reveal themselves,

Only in utter throbbing

Ask me

I would weep beside you

Our unchained melodies

Would teach this world

To respect adolescents

Feel me

True insight to my agony

(Can be reached by)

Eavesdropping through my crust

My ecstasy is breaching

My core

Lend me

A moment of trust

You will find me

The best of companion

Nomenclature

Nomenclature

A world divided by names—

East and West, North and South

I wish I was You

Or to be a part of Your Body

Hither sobbing self

Thither lonely Soul

Does Sun not enlighten whole Earth?

Why Black is, then, separated from White?

Why discriminate upon caste or creed?

Why think one religion superior than the other?

And why be proud of your nationality?

Terrorizing your children with your own name

Kissing Ozone goodbye

Witchcraft

Witchcraft

Crucifying the Evil

On the Last Day of Upheaval

As the ultimatum to Lucifer

Crime was committed to end all crimes

And that the world is well enough devilish

Without the Devil himself

Regarding the Evil

As the last resort to held

The Festival of the Chaste

Black Flute was on high pitch

To secure more Innocents

And to extract blood from night

Forgetting the Evil

So, one can ask God’s Forgiveness, even

If sins cannot be altered

And overwhelming sorrows

By laughing at your own bleeding heart

Wretched soul caught in your own jaws

∞

My blood was traced

Upon one of Crucifixes outside my lawn

By the best detective of Our Times—

Time, indeed, and

Who was the culprit?

In black, one can see the white

In cry, one can find laugh

In insane, would you dare to find anything?

New buds could be seen

In what of the ruins remain—

Ruined by Loving my infatuation

Eaten by cats and crows!

Broken Arrow

Broken Arrow

By the Grace of God

You became Hunter

In the Black Forest of wolves

You were lured by a chamois

To run after him

But you fell from precipice

And bled to death

I was the Master of the Boat

I was to take you to the City of Dead

A whirlpool traversed my boat

And captures her

Then, I was dead, too

Guide lost the Path of Wisdom

Hunter became hunted!

Belladonna

Belladonna

Longing for the road

You have walked on forever

Longing for the song

You heard on the Day of Beginning

When the stardust vanished

And leftovers became life

Strange feelings for their voices

A tenacity to kiss

And to hold –to touch

Inside out and more

A lark have given way to cuckoo, it seems

The echo of Big Bang was hidden in Thames

Normans have won again

This Time in New York

‘Wake me up when September ends’

Surrounded by peaceful lights of North

Cremating the Soul in hailstorm

Caught in the eye of Hurricane

Richter scale was unable to measure

Millions who starved themselves to death

The war has won!

Vacuum

Vacuum

(Ascription to Franz Kafka)

When yours and mine galaxies were in collision

A new world was formed

The world where men become gods

And God was evaporated

The Earth was sentenced to revolve—

Without a Sun

Darkness has usurped darkness

A game of hide-and-seek, between

Dark Mater and Dark Energy

Revolutionaries have hanged themselves in despair

When the Time was nor good nor worse

Clouds have formed craters

Where once their tombs were

And a black chrysanthemum has blossomed in the spring

My violin was lost on the shore of Dead Sea

My tears were wiped by your fingers

The acute passiveness of your silent words

And the Vita Nova in your hand

Have all paralyzed my body

The flood is still inside

And so is the feeling that

My wild spirit wants to escape to oblivion

O Kafka! Be my guide

Like Virgil was to Dante
