My own precious INTERSTICE

 I don’t want anyone…even YOU
to come and reside in the space
throng the interstice……
which colours the perplexity
of my thought……sky.
My propensity such…..
I wanna, with your musings
reach heights much………
sans you around…..
for I desire….my fire---your eyes
to search my ken and bind
the unbound…….
with not your skin’s jostling
…..rejuvenating feel
even any attempt mine
to fill the pristine glory…
is merely internecine.

Still sometimes amidst all
noise I like the “stillness” of
your breathless “shylence” as a
constant for my “steely” thought
jottings start pouring then in
…………an instant.

Niceties wrapped in deep thoughts
give birth to so many unquenchable
longings---desire droplets so to say…..
Hey! “U” still show no signs
of retracting, with drawing back to
your own bower---
divorcing my “interstice”
cajoling my space devoid of your
heart’s warm pace…….
would I ever be able to meet
my pains’ pace, pen’s race.

You who reside……..
in that ivory tower now
leaving me to my own……
lost space, my interstice
minus you….all that is a slice
internecine……………….

THE SEVEN EDGES

Eight fat pay cheques/checks
and nine raises………..
well orchestrated……..
and super fine praises
heaped on the young
shoulder corporate.
At any rate was he A
first rate climber….
(and) a big game hunter….
of the game of snake and ladder.
A perfect show host………
catering to the whims and fancies
of all the charming show-stopper(s).

Oh! What glamour…………..
was he surrounded by!
His magnanimity responded
to all get togethers………
and social bashes………
spreading stardust……
all THE way…….
Literati  thronged…….
Gliteratti serenaded
ate virtuality……….
from hands in reality…..

He and his smart card entry
made page-3 headlines
head hunters begged
for his company.
He in his Tuxedo
every week in a new hair-do
habituated to all polite cajoling
by starlets donning………
outfits tight….to be wooed
by his roving eyes…………….
And to woo…….
Oh! What charmed life….
having all incredulous
luxuriant(s) of all variant
from Porsche to Vertu…..
Rado to Rohit Bal……
all stand in attention
to take his call….
Life after all…..in
the fast lane….
a boon so easy for him…..
for all compatriots….
seemingly a bane.
For he has his razor’s edge
one of the edge……..
out of all seven……
rest of the six…..
He would meet….
in the heaven of
his own making………
for he is the real KING.

                                                                               


                                                VOCAL  VERIFICATIONS  OF  VOICELESS   SOUL *************************
Hey man, why don’t you think
that YOU and only you can
paint the horizon with a new hue
and save it from going berserk
and insane, attempt to color, coax
and cajole, pull from the brink
of seemingly endless disaster.

Your thought bubbles forming,
foaming cluster of new conceptions
waiting eagerly for finer inceptions
reposing all faith in your mind’s
reception, you who himself is
HIS new hue, an eternal clue…

May be, to glue reverberations
to breathings anew…each toddler
step that you take and will your
will in times to come when…
mountains move to make way
for your word-fountains, tens
of thousands of clapping
millions would then find
anticipation worth waiting
for your soulful mellifluous
and melodious verbalizing.

Nature in all her finery
in ethereal, endless glory
or fathomless fury…know
for sure, you have to ensure
all that is flurry of activities
of all eternal entities combined
as if pre-polished and re-refined.

Elements of thy heaven…..
come together to join when
you find your relentless ken
eyeing all that is flying.......



On 12.12.13    
Can cruelty ever be kind?

 You tell me kind
You call me cruel
I know,I have only
This tale to tell.
My mind moves
Soul swells
Daily and always
Fighting the same duels.
Your palpitations glide
On the thoroughfares
Of life….I know embarking
On my intellectual fuel.
You choose me or
You prefer to reject….
I know for sure
It’s my verbal infatuation
What had you…….
Like the effect.
If now, you so desire
That I, the penner
The keen kenner
Keep muted the
Celestial fire---
So be it, may I plead
My penning might
Not to release any ire
Just to please your
Lust-filled ken-longing
Not to bleed any soul-sweat
And to wait for that perpetual meet.                                                                 PENMAN

2.For All of You

All my loves are spread in all of you
Even just before sometime
Had I so much anger
And droplets so very few
Do you all know, why?
How can you?
Because your love is
Of multiple hue
And I without any cue.

When I came to this firmament
I had then also thought
About my soul’s betterment
But then droplets were
Not there, nor were you.
All my emotions were
Also of different hue
Clamour and noise were
Jostling with the clouds.
Thoughtless thunders, turning
The chirping of birds into blunders.

Oh! My God, where were
You? The Heaven’s Lord….
Dying I was each moment
And were you busy
In your own firmament.
Was I not in the know
Of this terrible predicament?

Lullaby from the sky
Came all the way
Not knowing…in what
souI-mart was I trying
all my selling & buying!

I started my thought communion
With the unending expanse
You called sky, and the reply
Was  innumerable cloudlets
Which prayed to my soul-gates
And Lo and behold
There is didactic deluge.

Lord’s blessings
Changing all cursings
And now my kens
Devoid of all pains
Can bask in the glory
Of all your loves’
Pleasureful story.
