Near The Sun

The enlightened message of your poem was very touching. One the world should sing in dark days such as these to inspire hope again. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.-Carlos Lorenzo Estrada

Some great imagery here. I felt as though I was in the heat of the desert with no shade to provide escape from the burning sun. The coolness of night would have been most welcome.-Chris Shaw

Coding An Ocean

As they say, silence speaks volumes.
I have a question. In the third stanza, will it perhaps be "a simple touch" instead of "a simile touch"?
I could be very wrong though, so forgive me if I am.
A good sad write, in just a few words. Enjoyed reading it!-Shruti

Let It Go Hollyhock

All The Dreams

Grapevines don't grow in the dark. They need sunlight.-Sharkylang

Poetry, depicting
the grapevine of outed: Trust
betrayal's whispers, in the dark
aiming for the moonlight
of ambition's thread marks;
voicing
our lacking capacity, to comprehend and empathise
with all the abundant suffering, that surrounds...
this be inking of poetic tears
a cry of despair
for the trajectory of humanity
in our perpetuated abyss of stagnated
'black stones
globalised Angst
of Nothingness'

Your Journey

'Upgrading clock
was not a wise decision.
Who will read the past?'
(fast forwarding your timing, a foolish mistake,
qualifying your future's timing, a silly decision...
trying to progress, without first
knowing yourself
a formula for failure,
aspiring for what you can become
without acknowledging, where
you came from
a choice, you're bound to regret...)
and all these, just trying to unfurl your first stanza...
A great write! Guru.-L. B. Mek

You Are Being Watched

• Inheriting a non religion, carrying stones on wings―you wanted to fly.

Obviously, you're not talking to me, since none of that applies to me, my reaction was, "Why send this to me? So who is it meant for? Let's begin with, what's a non religion? Obviously, not a religion, but doesn't that mean every field but religion?

Sure, you have intent for how it's to be taken, but does intent make it to the page? No. Does the reader have the smallest shred of context? Again no. So by the end of the first stanza the reader is confused, and a confused reader closes the cover, because there is no second first-impression.

• In the hot and humid land, a cult grows in one's own squeezed moon, playing with words.

The problem with talking to the reader is that every word makes sense...to you. But... "The" hot and humid land? There's only one? Naa. "A cult grows." So that only happens in a hot and humid land? Naaa.

Sure, it makes sense to you, because for you every word points to ideas, images, and events, all stored and waiting in your mind. But for the reader, every word points to ideas, images, and events, all stored and waiting in *YOUR* mind. And if only you were there to ask when it's read. But you're not.

Write from your chair, of course. But always, edit from that of the reader who needs context as they read, and who will turn away if it's not there.

In school we're not taught the skills or techniques of writing poetry, so some time spent reading some texts on those techniques would be time wisely invested.- JayG

Undressing

What a great poem.
Sometimes we really should stop and just marvel at our world in splendor.-Paul Bell

Bowls Are Empty

Barefoot I walk on the

Beat The Clouds

'It was waiting to
fall, the colossus under the
rains of silent eyes.'

'You cannot kill the
hunger, eating dry leaves
of beautiful scape.'

(but we can use
the embittered salt
in the rain, streams
of our eyes

to soften, the dry leaves
of ill-fate - at least enough
to imbue them
with malleability, enough
to render them, comprehensible...)-L. B. Mek

Death In Peace

I was just remembering today that Sai Baba
said 'God looks on sin as a mother on her baby's
first halting attempts to walk'. When God is
waching it is done with total love. I had the honor
of being at his ashram for 2 months-saiom

Time Takes Its Revenge

There was no endgame.
Who had nailed the lake? I live in
the moment. Have you seen the death laughing?
A lovely composition that depicts the value of the present moment and life. Nicely written, Satish jee.-Padma, Hyderabad

Who Had Spoiled The Show?

If I could nominate this poem I would, it deserves to be read. the physical structure itself is perfectly poised and the reader has no choice but to dwell ever so briefly before the next stanza, this, coupled with your punctuation (and obviously the actual content itself) creates an unbelievably powerful poem.-Lost star

Friday, November 12, 2021

Let Me Say

Why did you kill the
trees? They cry. The invisible blood
drips at night. Don't do it with clouds.
These lines tell me about the hurting heart and pain of the person, in fact. Nice read, Satish jee.-Padma, Hyderabad

Who Was Disappearing?

I don't know
in your choice imagery, that analogy of a black hole
could be easily swapped for that forever sleep
we know awaits us, eventually
and some, seek mercy in sleep
only
they seldom, align that same sleep
with its consequence of disappearance
and its compressively sans, promise
of non existence...-L. B. Mek

Question Of Existence

You cannot take your Life, without
the witness of water.'
(even that waterfall, cascading
from your pleading - blinking
its all, witnessed
it all counts
and its Never too Late!
simply
search for that ounce of sincerity
you still have
to cling to,
and wage a path for your Truth
to be that,
which accompanies you
to the other side.
Burn, and shed
all your regret's and repentance
this side,
of that six feet divide
Never assume, its ever: too late!)
thank for sharing: Guru!

if I've once again, hijacked
the meaning of your words)-L. B. Mek

Mother Winter
Daughter Spring

Mother Winter has white hair.
She moves slowly.
Makes everyone hush and sleep.
In soft blankets of flakes.
Can blow cold windy truths.
But also gently send nourishing snow.
Without her, Daughter Spring cannot grow.

Daughter Spring
Gently blossoms
Seemingly dull seeds
Peek open the cheery beauty
She laughs as the brook
Bursts radiant smiles as the daffodils
Slipping through Mother Winter's hugs
She is eternal maidenhood.-AngryLaughter

"Peek open the cheery beauty" Last spring Jason put out a call for a return to beauty in poetry. This does that. thanks for the share/response.-allets

Drop by drop, icicles melt, as winter slowly turns to spring.-saiom

Sacrificially, wielding his body scepter,
the icicle, winter king,
slowly drip drips away
ordaining winter turn to spring.-saiom

What was that? I heard
the familiar tat tat tap tat.
It woke me as I nestled
warm as snug in a comforter
against the chill.
.
There it is again. Pat pit pit
as hot slippered feet push
away the habitual night
hibernation , warm
knuckled hands wanders
absently to each eye's corner
and shovels out dreams.
.
Again! The head tilts
to listen and confirm. Chit
chip chit chit. I shiver off
the less crisp coolness
of the winter room
and, old memories
fill midnight void.
.
The first thought thaws
and I smile leaning a dry
nose against the sweated
window to watch the last
snowflake
walking across
the front porch.-allets

From Thoughts To Thoughts

I read and learn: Guru
(the First Poet, was the first born
with the gift of sentient thought;
the First, Poem: is yet to be written)
'in my humble opinion'
('Do not avail
the sedition in this poor land.
Wheat color of the temples
want to follow
the burning sun, to take away
our differences.
The legacy of the moon
does not want
to flood the meanings.
A breathless call
was from white sky,
who was the first poet
of this wobbly world?')
who indeed...
I doubt we'll find out,
even after we've crossed
that six feet, divide-L. B. Mek

You Were Within Me

Ash In Eyes

'Do you
think a triangle of love can be made?'
sometimes, and Yet
mostly I look up
at the round Moon
and the round Sun
and the round Planets above us,
thinking
maybe, All - is Cyclical by design;
this Earth that moves beneath our very feet, hurtling
yet gripped in-place
a looping status of miraged Space
freedom - on a gravitational leash...
but then
isn't the inevitability within hierarchal pyramids,
that, which subjugates humanity into a cycle of self sabotage,
Every generation;
from ideology to logic, faith to science,
Love to Nihilism..
there's a seemingly endless need in our conceptualisation of the Universe
to insure, just like Our finite experience of existence
every Idea we contemplate, must first
be imbued with that Fallible capacity to self destruct, to End
to acquire a necessary, Death
because, that's all we know
and Everything: we Fear...!-L. B. Mek

Two Small Eyes

To our dismay, “the neighbourhood of snakes” will always be there.-Laura

much better than that 'Tyger, tyger' poem
the world loves endlessly
in my humble, although controversial opinion lol
as-ever, I read and learn: Guru!
(a hedgehog
for a fugitive God
amongst the snakes, swarming
this tiger poetry, we
painstakingly, rhyme scarlet
with every syllable
we, shamefully hide in the white
of our write's'...)-L. B. Mek


Mr Satish Verma with all do respect, the misplaced question mark there is so unsettling:
"The monarch lands on
my book to read the verse?
meant for the moon."
It doesn't belong, for it is absolutely meaningless to put a question mark in the middle of the sentence, where the sentence is not even finished!!
So it must be a mistake. In the past few years, few times, I mentioned these ocasions to you via comments for you have sometimes these missplaced question-marks. But you never corrected them. So, it shows that you only throwing the poems there, never coming back to them. But as an audience (a good one) I need to know how many more unwanted mistakes you leave there on your poems without never bothering to change. This, by itself worries me because your works are already very abstract and sophisticated, so, it is impossible for a reader to see all those propeble mistakes clearly, like the question marks. This is distancing you from the reader, for readers must somehow matter, otherwise why do we even bother to post??
Don't get me wrong I love your silence and respect it, but nothing in extreme could be healthy. The universe is proportioned. This is a philosophical fact my friend.
Anyway I am a fan. A fan about to resign.-ddavidd

break. Moral sense will not rise. I want
to bring the leopards of love.'
that solitude of self love, an appreciation of self worth, to encompass your island of enlightenment, knowing
not a lot of others, will invest the time to reach your level of awareness, so silence is your chosen merciful response...
as always, I read and learn, thank you: Guru!

What Was to Come?

Who will be my escort to
stitch the shadows of broken dreams?
I need to know the power of your love.
These are the lines that sum up the whole poem and keywords. 'I need to know the power of your love.' Good write, Sir.-Padma, Hyderabad

None can predict the end and none can be escorted that moment. Whatever your quality and longevity of life on earth, anicipating the end is truly scary and raises many an eyebrow. short and sweet verses Ji.thanks for sharing.-Dr John Celes, Coimbatore

Immaculate

I've read an alarming amount of nihilistic write's this morning
glorifying life's ending? and your poetry
is the answer I wish they could all comprehend
to see how futile it is, to waste life
assuming nothingness is better, when every road we turn
and each step, we climb
shows us greener fields, further from reach and a lilting path
to a sheer drop, to something even more horrific
than our laments, keeping us awake all night...!
'how to reach out and help, anyone
when life is devalued, with each propaganda: warped breath
and, our very own safety cocoon society
convinces us, is all: that's left of future's: hope...?'-L. B. Mek

Half - Promises

The old memory which is useless has to be slipped, Sir! I loved your comparison of this with a one rupee note. Lovely.-Padma

The Fabulous Dream

'I am sad. This world

the unreadable. Poems will kill.

The believers die under
a canopy. After the war, the religions
fail to save humanity.'
if our civilisation ever, learns
to appreciate genius like yours
whilst, you still draw breath..
we'll have evolved, enough
to warrant our hope
for survival and empathetically humane: growth...
I read and learn: Guru!
thank you-L. B. Mek

Mythical Thoughts

I doubt you ever read my scribbles
but for some crazy reason, your words below
elucidate the inspiration for the feeble effort, I posted today:
'Love stings.
And fog covers, the aura
of falling leaves― green
yellow and red. I survive
the quake.

A tiff burns the fingers.
I will not hold the pen.
The blank paper shivers.
Who will write the
wet poem?'

A Cup of Hemlock

imagine, what we could achieve
if we utilised half the energy we wasted
hating and belittling, those we oppose
for simply having a different perspective
that literally, has no impact on our own lives?
How absurd, when you realise
barely 10 to 20 percent of Earth is inhabited
and we're all head down busily, elbowing a path
through societies 'narrow minded' settlements...
modernity's narrow minded self observed, ignorance
cultivating
another generation of mind warped, submissive sheep's...-L. B. Mek

When Dew Weeps

'The moon was sleeveless.
It drops a hint.
You cannot blame the tree.'
we blame roots
we blame nature
we blame choices
till, we realise for our maths to work
there must first
be a value to existence, for us to lament
otherwise, we're just wasting time
multiplying null by sans
whilst dreaming, of moonwalking our regrets..
(as insightful, as ever
thank you, Guru)-L. B. Mek

How to say salaam?

from Muse, by Anna Akhmatova
What just means liberty, or youth, or approbation,
When compared with the gentle piper's tread?

And she came in, threw out the mantle's edges,
Declined to me with a sincere heed.
I say to her, "Did you dictate the Pages
Of Hell to Dante?"
(and so, I too ask you: Guru
Do you dictate, your Visionary pages
akin to Grecian Oracle: truth's...?)-L. B. Mek


Very well written enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Alan Brown, UK

No Prophet Speaks

Incredible! I valued your expression and way of revealing truth. A tender unique way to say much more with less. To notice the disharmony while maintaining heart wholeness. Not with anger. You powerfully send a clear message with your words. Also instilling even more power from your uncorrupted standpoint within your being.-Danielle

A Bone Quits

Amen!
you're digging the Ruins
of cloud-bricked Empire, now
the mere sands of our shoreline, afterthought's
you're searching for ideological Deity's
imbued, with Morality's wafer-thin bedrocks
now belittled, to a mere fragment
of our despairingly cyclical: dreamless reality..
'antiquities: to be, or not - to be...'
warped
in-to modernity's:
to believe, or
nihilistically: yearn-for - endlessly...!'

Your God, My God

'There
were no scars. Who washed them?'..
that element of forgetfulness
we encourage and nurture
to enable our survival, knowing
its very existence - insures
our cyclical suffering, can never cease
and will never - relent
for as long as we look up to the clouds
to judge our glaring mirrored truth's
of wilfully pathetic: self-loathing - ignorance...

I couldn't help

those symbolic Bilberries of yearned-for, modest perfection

accustomed to aiming low, for being planted
in a world with diminishing light: to begin with...-L. B. Mek

Unmasked Tulips

'Why disquieting
under
the water.
It is not the shipwreck. We
are swimming
to find the depth of love.'
Guru, your words
need to be enshrined somewhere
so all of time can reflect and acknowledge
such a distilled account, of humanity's
most self-destructive: trait
those festering poisons that lurk, beneath our skin
in our shallow rivers of tainted blood, 'veined-glory'
from the divisive oxygen of intolerance and hate
we've been force-fed, since birth....!-L. B. Mek

You have a most interesting style Satish. I’ve not yet figured out how you do what you do: maybe Mad-Lib-like substitutions, random-generation, dreamwork, drug-induced hallucinations, code book with only one de-coder ring. But don’t tell me. A magician never reveals his secrets. Another nice one!-John Cardwell
