Poetry

Poetry is the magic germinating out of the miracle of life

Body Ocean

This would be the 24th Collection

 
Trafalgar Square

It is here where everything
Suddenly collapses into
A flower of space
Enabling all little things
To become petals in lights

It is here where we
Suddenly walk through a flower
Pollen kissed like bees
We walk outwards towards
Our little places

It is here where
Suddenly I feel a sadness
Opening up through the space
On the deceiving March afternoon

Yet I sat there
Absoluting the memory of the flower
On the steps of St Martin in the Filed
At home with the flower infused in its fragrance

I Carry the Oceans

I asked him at Fifth Avenue
While our cigarettes smoke curled upwards into annihilation
His non-hesitant answer fell like a coin in a wishing well
'No, I don't see any colour in my mind.
I am ever aqua a being
I reflect what I see.
And I fit well into a simple colour
When someone points out at me.'

'I became a colour to suit somebody else's needs;
I eat the apples of geo-politics
Knowing well my mind
Has no physical eyes.
So as a blind man
I carry the puzzle of
Colour's coral bed
I am ever aqua a being
I carry oceans in my ears
That they neither see nor hear.'

Geometry of Truth

A momentous handshake
Happens in a moment
When a question finally
Makes friend with an answer

A though all they needed
Was the mirror
To hold open the map of truth

A question's quest for the answer
That escapes away ends on the mirror
That spells the geometry of truth

Riding on My First Kiss

They seek slick evidence
And I wonder what
Evidence am I going to ask
To a rose of a dawn?

The seekers of evidence
Are like the grave digging thieves
All they enter into is skeletal scroll
Wet bones once was part of the whole
And they claim after careful consideration
'Indeed, that was Mr X!'

'Unless you can replicate
There's no value to be put in the vault.'
They say as though replica bears the bones the truth

And I wonder how am I going to
Gather any feather light evidence of
How and where I had been
Riding on my first kiss!

Perpetual Past

I see things, distances and relations
In a time-fenced frame
In a fairly frail structure of a frame!
Fragile as bubbles my connections hold!

I see because fallen photons of lights
Come and pierce through my eyes

I see objects measured in their sizes shapes and colours
And the distances that separate us

Therefore, my sense of reality
Stays some micro-seconds late

In order to grasp the geometry of distance
Time binds us into living in a perpetual past of a pond
That keeps reflecting reality's ride

Our present flourishes into the space of
An areal state where we grow towards reality's garden

When thus we say we see
We actually mean a joy

That we saw what was there
That keeps on moving away taking us with it
Perpetually
