Your Depth of Being

Life is coming to a close. My experiences are of no avail. The path ahead is thorny. My love emerges as pain in spite of my equanimity. I try to bury all the arguments burning within.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

An Occult Experience

Everyone experiences death of some dream or other. A poet expresses the pain in a way that can be experienced by the readers. Many may consider it a useless activity like that of Sisiphus.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Where the Philosophy Ends

Where physicality ends spirituality begins. The world is full of dark ideas and acts. Some remedy has to come into operation. History is proof of cyclic nature of good and bad things. But we have not yet learnt the lesson to be good, peaceful and happy.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

My Philosophy

About my Poems

rt makes a poet sensitive and love all people and things. He can see through others and understand the unspoken words too. That reflects in his poems. Religion may appear as blanks and halves but even when not understood its legacy is carried forward for our own good.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Every line in this verse talks about the truth and present scenario. A lovely poem, Satish jee.-Padma, Hyderabad

No Hierarchy

Man’s endeavor is to understand God and he believes that God will understand his problem and lessen his pain. As per science birth is accidental (but religion says that it is because of Karma). Man wants the power to heal himself that is to say find solutions to his problems by himself thus making both of them equal without any hierarchy.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Soft feelings like love have been disappearing from our world fast. Only pain is seen and felt all around in the fast changing world. There is a longing for going back in time. Everyone does things at the cost of his life.

Full moon in June is known as strawberry moon. Full moon in Summer, with a clear sky is very pleasant. Memories of such experiences last long.

That is the way to find god.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Creeping Dresses

In nine short lines, you create a sense of foreboding horror, which us centered around the fifth and sixth lines. There, the poem defines the place as "an eerie loveland," and describes the "holy people" who "tear earth's womb." Within the context of the poem, those otherwise ordinary phrases become wildly charged with an implicit horror which resonates from them through the entire poem. Even in a second reading, the horror does not diminish.

A Sea Of Moons

I really, REALLY!. like this poem. The voice speaking seems rather casual and conversational. yet the tone becomes eerie from the first few words. Is that word "pinned," in the first line, just a phrase, or to be taken literally? And what kind of watchman---a security guard, or a horrified witness to some strange goings-on? The person being addressed, who is pinned to a board to watch some sort of process, is watching as the nomenclature of pain changes, but the watcher is now not able to move a mouse (the computer device, or the roden?---the ambiguity increases the poem's effect). The fianl stanza shows us violet acquiring hands (mutations?), voices dimmed (is sound now perceived as light?), and the sky is darkening. Who or what the two small eyes belong to is left unstated, but, in reading this, I become sure that the eyes in the final line are not those of the watchman in the first and second lines.

I beiieve this poem is a brilliant demonstration of the ability to compress so much activity, and an implied sense of eerieness, in the fewest words and lines possible. A huge backstory is also implied; but not disclosed at all.

I applaud your accomplishment in this poem. It is one of the finest of its kind---a poem about mysteriously eerie occurences---that I have read in a long time.

Enjoy effulgent days, and exquisite nights, unto the exultations of Heaven.-Starward

My Commitment

It seems like I like it, I just don’t think I’m clear on “brave robbery “ and where it should take me?-Bobby O

Moods Killed

Present world is not kind to soft feelings like love. But it is difficult to point out who particularly is responsible for this. No system like religion is able to control this.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Wavelengths

Wavelengths are different for different people. But if they are too far apart, as in the case of aliens, no meaningful communication takes place.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Two opposites never meet and the same is applicable to human connections too, Satish jee. Emotional blackmails, misunderstandings, and lack of cooperation are the reasons for this. A well-written poem, indeed.-Padma, Hyderabad

Increasing Angst

Absolutely true.-James Michael

I got lost. Stratosphere laughs andThe moon to touch in inclement weather ? The imagery seems arbitrary and not connected . I’m sure it’s me as am still learning to stretch my mind to catch metaphors.-Bobby O

Your God, My God

Slaying Demons

The poet seems to hint at ‘Sati’, an earlier practice in which woman used to sit on the pyre of her husband and immolated herself. Subsequently people recognized her as a goddess.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore, AP

Mode Of Slaughtering

A picture of hopelessness formed in my mind. There is a critical battle being fought here and the search for truth is ending in bleak places. Mercy seems to be losing out to coldness. The dismembering of deities presents a powerful picture. Well done.-DIVYA

I'm with Carl on this, it kind of took me into a flame lit tomb where secrets are carved into the stone and truth is a forgotten feeling. Nicely done-willweb

that was a nice little if bit of scary trip ( , put me in mind of tomb raiding. Especially liked this stanza in and of itself.
"Thinking of truth
was difficult. Your footsoles
develop blisters. No home
was in sight."
The pursuit of truth is difficult and the the steps taken to find it can be blistering and seemingly no home in which to rest seems on the horizon. Thanks for the post - carl

Rebelling in Dreams

When one identifies with the whole, bad at any place hurts. Searching for remedy at a wrong place is of no use. Ignorance/ darkness is about engulf the world. When one can’t do anything there wil be rebellion in dreams only.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Light Does not Matter

For a broken heart all things look dark. In spite of moonlight only the fireflies attract attention. To light the world man should become a torch. For one in ignorance suffering brings enlightenment.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore, AP

You Go Back In Wombs

Your flesh is disappearing to expose the bones of our culture....meaningful expression dear poet.-Dr Dillip K Swain

Why You Say, I Am A God

Revolutionary

Abundance gave only more pain and fear. Conscience makes us feel guilty. Attachment makes us suffer. Be a revolutionary to free yourself from attachment.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Why You Say, I am a God

My home is lost in
you, without teaching. The
school is closed. It gives relief.

The point of view
disappears. The eternity of one
moment, will bring the god to tears.

Everyday I feel pain.
The cleanliness of mind will
give you freedom to dig a black hole.

Satish Verma

Defining Equation

I read this poem several times and saw more, I think, of what you meant to communicate with each reading. However, I don't think I grasped the full meaning. This does not by any means diminish the power and literary skill of your work. The great poet Wallace Stevens wrote many such somewhat obscure poems, even more so than this, and is yet acclaimed to be one of the 20th century's best.Keep up the good work.
If you get a chance, read Stevens' "Anecdote Of The Jar" or "Sunday Morning"-charles69

When I Am Understanding Myself

The crux of the issue is, we, none of us, understand ourselves. We try. Yes, we do try! People from eons ago tried. But we fail, miserably-Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Hi Satish, the question is NOT " Why life ends? " for, everything that has a beginning has to have an end. The question, barely, is why at all there IS life? Why at all a human being? Why did we eat The Magic Mushroom?-Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
