Water Genesis

First touch and I live.

Enter the world , only to give .

Emerging through the water ,

Like a soul absolved by elixir.


First I learnt to breathe ,

Earning the skill to be freed.

Enriching just to float .

Looking more and more like a boat .


As long as you oscillate in and out ,

No one can destroy you in a bout .

Diabolical it may sound ,


Free water swimming knows no bound.

Endless waterfalls can carve a stone.

Enduring pain can make the world moan.

Living free , is the only choice known.

Comedy of Errors

 The clumsy man’s stench.

Raised his arm to stretch .

Fingered his little brother bum.

Literally touched the sky’s cum.


Said “Give me money”

Mom replied “No Honey”

What’s honey got to do with it ?

Because the bears stole it.


Went to open the door

Smacked his temple blue and sore .

Went to school.

Only to be chased away by a bull.


Sang the return song for her.

She did Zumba with another.

Then went to a fancy place , stunned , 

Because , later . She asked for a refund.

Silent Noise

Silly it may sound,

Loaning just one pound?

Own just one acre of land?

When we are slaves to money land?

Love and flying seems unreal.

You will be the only deal.


Covering His horns,

Lamenting her newborns.

Abdicating her soul,

Penance ate her whole.


Trying to wake up here ,

Hypnotised by fear,

Redeeming pain.

Irritation rain.

Clear as sky,

Everyone you love will die.

The Wait

 The wait 


The wait to see you , an atrocity.

Give up ,go home , the audacity .

To make me your rose

Keep in a book or prose .


To make memories

Take mental photos and stories.

See your face with or without eyes.

Never to say goodbyes.


Feel you, know you.

Hear you laugh , be your beau.

To take the wheel

Journey together even in one heel.


To can’t take you off my mind.

To fix my eyes upon you and be kind,

To your soul.

As we grow old.

The Doctrine

 Like a fish out of water 

I restlessly switch sides 

Trying to free my self , a barter.

Like a freedom fighter’s strides.


Death doesn’t part us

It brings us together.

The only raw truth that hurts us.

Giving life meaning , the last air.


Failures teach us more

Than teachers and family or friends.

A chance , an opportunity ,a door.

Success is still ,a point , not hairpin bends.


Ignorance becomes power.

Partiality and hate is rewarded.

A soldier marries the war.

Can’t live with or without it. Martyred.

Odd One Out

Confusion of gender.
The kid was cursed forever.
Neither he or she.
Santosh’s birthday parties? Never.

Schooled until 5th standard.
Santosh caged at home .away
From pupil and friends.
The child with its reflection, did play.

Every passing minute
Of every passing day.
Felt like an eternity.
In a suicidal dungeon , lay!

Santosh was counting down.
Misery transformed into loneliness.
All pilot and astronaut dreams were
Like castles in the air, without happiness.

Virtual reality saved embarrassment.
Working as a ghost writer.
But with decades of harassment.
A rope and a fan, a defeated fighter.

My Sacrifice




Truth from a half-remembered dream
Hearing chuckles with some ice cream.
Eerie fall from the sixth floor.

Margin of error too small at four.
A mistake by the wife
New kid lost by life.

When she didn't notice.
He couldn't not be nice.
Only the devil laughed.

Grinding life from air
All in vain , a dead heir.
Veterans couldn't predict.
End of family, succinct.

Earmarking a change from the court.
Verdict of false guilt.injustice's fort.
Eclectically framed by the morning spouse.
Rejected by society , sorrow was the son of the house.
Yet , mute, he walked away faceless.

Time for prison , ironically full of fearlessness.
He didn't give in to quarrel or demand.
I have to give , give and give, he took this stand.
No hope could be seen.
Gladly he signed, end of the scene.

Alternately he now lived in the highest cloud.
With everything donated, vowed.
And every organ had the touch of the knife.
Yes, death gave birth to life.
