THE VISITOR

Such "Revelation", said St.John The Evangelist to Satish...but the Lord is not only the Moon...But HE also be the Sun, theLight the cusp of Darkness....And Satish replied..."Give me a break, Johnny...I'm still in the Old Testament tring to figure out What King Nimrod said to the contractors of the Tower of Babel to upset them all to a point that resulted in The Moon, Sun, Light and Cusp of Darkness to cast fork on every tongue....//////////////////////Commentors After-Thought:This would not happen today, as The Contractors union would have stepped in and on the Moon, Sun, Light and Cusp of Darkness and cause a grand Annular Solar Eclipse, that would either burn or blind those workers at the top of The Tower!-  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

DEPARTURE

Well expressed feelings the departure of a loved one will bring. The stanza before the last is very beautiful and romantic.-  LightH2O

In my solitude I reach your smell, your lips still warming my vessel, my drink. So beautifully said. good write.-  heather wilkins

Death is not infinite...and in fact,if not for it...we would never realise Utopia...However, the grief, rue, and passionate sadness that one experiences after losing a beloved is not an event that one can truly attain this so-called "Closure"... Closure on loss can only be achieved if that person never meant all you say that they did...We learn to have elongated episodes of "Cope", so as not to befall into a cavern of Depression...The memories we ostensibly fgreeze-frame and capture within our Third-Eye can trigger as much sorrow and pain as it can illicit smile and grain(fruitfulness). There be no escaping these feelings...for if we were able to, then ther'd be no Crosses for us to carry up our hill that benchmarks to Utopia...Good Write -  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

SLEEPLESSNESS

Satish Varmaji, Your poem on sleeplessness is awakening. This word itself is peculiar. It hovers around only one vowel 'E'. Insomniacs don't sleep because they worry. They worry because they even can't sleep in their offices. So, they don't sleep. - SRI HARI KRISHNA MOCHERLA

http://museindia.com/

AMEN!

ARROGANCE

"The tulips in the barrel of your gun cannot forgive the bullets.
There will be no ceremony after the funeral."
This is the second write by you I have had the pleasure of reading. Your style is a bit like Dylans lyrics exept your mastery of english is much better. Well done, my poetry fellow. Well done, indeed. - Billy Robert 

http://www.creative-poems.com/

GREEN NIGHT

"I deserve no nobility, my moonscape has a blazing truth about a shooting star
which went into a gape groaning. Somebody is done for, for a fragile skull. The riverbed
buries the dead child in white sands."
The world has monsters in it. They prey upon the innocents and call it war, as if words will stop Gods' wrath. A very well done.- Billy Robert

NAKEDNESS

Unfortunately, so long as there be human breath exhaling...so too there wuill be dread, anathema and unholy acts of maljustice... Your linage at times may be in poetic piece-meal...but they are artistically savoury....You Rock,Satish V. - Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

Frank,Linda & Leaf. You all have prodded me with a stick.My ashe are still hot.The other day I was reading about the trial & indictment for genocide by Charles Taylor in Liberia & Blood diamonds of Sierra Leone. Stop. Looking at a boxcar of jews being transported to Auschwitz & Treblinka. Gas chambers.Denuded bodies. Piles of hair & shoes.Stop.Guernica.Most powerful political statement 0f Picasso.In India farmers will commit suicides because crops had failed. I watch daily the deprivation, hunger & poverty. The human misery & inequality. I suffer. The common clitche will not deliver the force. Punch comes from incompleteness & something remaining unsaid &topsy;- turvy.- satishverma

Fragments of good lines for us to try to piece together. Frank made me laugh with his candid comment.-  LightH2O

Well,now, Satish..you have to admit...Between short-legged Pygmies playing PEAK-a-boo with ice-shard, and obseving the graphic removal of human skin that belongs to us....might cause Reader's to react as Leaf & Linda have, below...Now, me ? I love a puzzle as well as the Dark's darkest side and upturning the neve-endings of my faithful Readership...But my friend...this poem is why, I think they created the dreaded cliche "YOU TAKE THE CAKE"!!!!LOL! Abstractively outrageous penning!- Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

I have to agree with what Leafsailor said. Hu????- Linda Winchell

hay! I haven't a clue , but I understand it completely, you and you alone can do this , my friend, I love this it just goes right to my spirit , no stops along the way, I love this for its wonderful ability to awaken my imagination it is like reading four poems at once with half of the lines missing and understanding them all ,on a spiritual level... peace and love to you and yours-  leafsailor

AFTER THE STORM

your words carried
the knowledge
of pain

the song

came

standing then?- Michael Firewalker

SHACKLWS

"...city that never wakes" if not New York as Frank said, maybe "Las Vegas"? "The gathering of queens" could be a great poker hand...-  LightH2O

Though your verse at times is blanketed in complex, abstract lexicon, I do keep in my mind that your thought patterns come like a REM cycle Dream...fast & furious...and with little or no foreknowledge. And, thus, that's how you poetically present it,...Which explains what many might call bizarre....and that I just call Simply Satish Style !lol! Your short cropt lines imbued in thick, graphic imagescaping is your M.O.(ON?)LOL!....Unique and Direct is your style...And just for the record, I do not see anything in your work lately that would indicate any diminished capacity. That said...Do be well & take good care of yourself...We're not 18 anymore...Not in this world, at least!- Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

Thank you Frank. It is a typo. How did it creep in I do not know.Your comments are always crisp & enlighening. Of late I have been leaving small notes about the background of any special effect,like a poem on Edvard Munch's painting The Scream or the chinese blind activist Chen, which will help me later on to recall.A huge collection of poems are piling up & my unfailing compulsive drive in writing daily in last couple of years has starting affecting my faculties so much so that some times I don't recognize my own poems.Although for posterity sake I have got them published.This I am telling because I have not been able to answer your piercing queries.Take care & have a nice week end Satish-  satishverma

Sounds like an in-depth" tour of Hells Kitchen, in the Bronx! All kidding aside, are you sure you did not mean for your title to read"SHACKLES", as opposed to "SHACKLWS"? - Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

the crying dust of modern times and the masked men who have no other objective beyond their own selfish means. the poem says a lot to the reader . Good one and thanks for sharing it with us.-  Nikunj

JUST BEAUTY

As usual you have some very captivating lines, along with that last stanza which is just gorgeous.- LightH2O

There be much paradoxical beauty in Death, as to live forever one must suffer the inevitible of Death...And therein lies the beauty, evermore-  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

NO-MAN’S-LAND

That first stanza is so gripping as well as some of the other lines. I agree with Cyn, lots of torment and anguish displayed here.-  LightH2O

So deeply sad and tormenting, such anguish vividly described here. The style is smooth and direct, conveys the heartache with strong impact, and the title wraps it up so completely. Great piece of work!-  Cyn BuhainBaello
