Hello Poetry ClaSICK
Love life
Pain and sad
Depressive heart
Your death thoughts hurt

Ah! It's a brilliant poem
Epic daily
And it's a great poem sir,
It's a classic

Yes! A ClaSICK
This is what I feel sometimes when I see the main page of HP. That's why I sometimes don't even check it

Btw, Where is Raj Arumugam? He must come out of his sabbatical to light things up :D

Happy Day
Can't be more happy
And I can't tell you why
But it's the thing that made my day
And the dears...

Amen! Aye! Shukriyaa! Tathaastu!
And much more love for you
I know they know for whom it's written

Glampire
A Glampire!
As disturbing as a funeral pyre.

Wandering along the roads
In the nights, ******* lives by loads
With no care for any codes

Beauty she was
Now, she is as beautiful as a sin
Tempting men with her charms, and forms
They fell for her in flocks

Lured them into the woods
Made them sit under the hoods
Hugged them one by one
Tucked them into her pocket
And few of them in her locket

Glampire!
Blood it was she want
She is as beautiful as a sin
'Twas the weapon she uses to win
Against the self-control of many a man
Aha! La Belle Dame Sans Merci
Glamour + Vampire = Glampire

Power over his self

Love's Perpetual Bliss
Seconds ticking,
I move closer.
My left hand around her.

Seconds ticking,
She moves closer,
Her right hand around me.

Feeling her breath
Smelling the scent
Of her skin.

I move further.
Listening to her heart beat.

Lub-dub lub-dub lub-dub
Ja-dach ja-dach ja-dach

Yes... yes... yes...

Flowers of water,
Rushing from the clouds, tip tap tup
To drench us.

Further I move,
Electromagnetic induction,
Our bodies can't get closer.

Clock stops.
Time warps.
Space stands still.

It's annihilation,
Two souls merging.

Pair production,
The merged soul releasing
A couple of sparkles.

Little sounds,
vibrations through the bodies.
My lips touch hers.
The rest is a blank.
Nirvana.

Tiny tear drops,
escape from her eyes.
and ****** my lips.

I have tasted a kiss.
It's love’s perpetual bliss...

She said to him with all affection,
"You are my kid."

He said to her smiling,
"So, let me take a nap in your lap,
to finish this kidnap.
So that we will be missed by others,
but we will never miss each-other. "

New Dress on the Day of Love
She bought me
A new dress
On an evening
With cool breeze

She told me
To wear it
On the
Day of Love

I had worn
As she said
Stood before her
All smiles

The Pant's loose I said
Remember she said
When it becomes tight
Success comes to you

Yes, the pant's so tight
That I can't wear it now
And yes, success came to me
But, you are not here
to celebrate with me
On the Day of Love
!

Left the world 5 years and three days ago. And I still remember your lifeless body in my hands. But I smile remembering the moments I had with you than being sad remembering you left me

I'll be back
The most testing period of my research life (and my life too) coincided with the most prolific period of poetry writing of mine.

For more than 50 days on a trot, I wrote about 50 poems and almost none were mediocre, and few of them were my best. A poem a day. Almost! Which is unimaginable at the beginning of this year

Now I'm going for an onslaught for a work I have been battling all these days. I need all my energy and mental and physical resources.

Yes. I'm gonna take a break. A small break.

Will come back rejuvenated with all your wishes and blessings.

Thanks for the encouragement and collaborations

I'll be back!

For an Interstellar ride

To find Unknown lands

Deep In the Ocean of Time
Deep in  the Ocean of Time
Right into the layers of space
Dwelling through infinite dimensions
There existed an atom

It searched for a friend
Found one to its taste
Lost an electron
Gained an electron
A bond was then formed

It has no name
But there was no worry
For name is but an identification

But see there's some more atoms
And they too did the same
A little bit of sacrifice
For love needs it
Lost an electron
Gained an electron
A bond was then formed
They started dancing

Growing in complexity.
Living things, masses of atoms for they were
Dancing a pattern ever more intricate
DNA and protein
Cells and tissues
Life came
At long last man came

He was the observer
Who measures the universe
Out of the cradle
Onto the dry land
Here it is standing
Atoms with consciousness
Matter with curiosity
Stands in the ocean of time
Wondering
Aye
I, a universe of atoms?
Or an atom in the universe?
To Richard Feynman (again)

Posted long back.

I think this is my best poem (proper) till date. Most of the times I manipulate ideas to twist them into poems (almost all of them very short). But rare few times they flow into a verse of quality. This, I think, is one such, excluding haikus.

Want to see how friends here receive it. Of course few of them might have read it.

You dumb
Don't know how to do this?

You fool
Don't know what it is?

You *******
You don't know anything
Waste of a life

I wondered if
I'm good for at least eating.

He's your master
And THAT is his masterpiece
What have you got to show?
Go to him again.
Wait till he ratify you
My father brainwashed

Determined, I went back to the sir
I want to have my masterpiece

And soon I did have
My masterpiece
Not one.
Not two.
But many.

MASTERPIECES!!!

Since then
My master wasn't seen
By none

Any doubts?

Swamy Downey - IV (Haiku)
Earth has latitudes
And I have attitude right?
Inevitable
You'll know the reason for this Haiku in Swamy Downey Begins series
It was past 10 pm
Indian Standard Time
And the score was
Two O Five

Klusener was the launcher
Donald was the Duck

Hansie had the fancy
That he will lift the cup
Seconds ticking
One, two, three, four, five…

Damien Fleming’s the bowler
And he’s known as a troller
Windies was the victim
Eight years ago

Steve Waugh!
The man who made Gibbs drop the cup
Stood there
Like a commander
Klusener like a slaughterer

Yorker’s the marker
To stop the nine runs needed
From the Klusener blade

NOW THE LAST OVER
ONE went for a four
TWO went for a four
Tensions flared up
We are on the proverbial Edge-of-the-seat

Steve stood there
No expression on his face
Hansie's in the pavilion
Like a warrior king

THE THIRD BALL
Damien's running like he do
Yes, bang on target
Klusener's couldn't get it off
Like the way in his earlier knocks off

One run needed in three

Just a recap again

Final over
last pair together
nine to get in six *****
player of the tournament on strike
Successive fours from Lance Klusener
and it was one from four *****

Then came the comedy
for South Africa uniquely in the game's annals
the tragedy of a tie.

Moments before it
Steve Waugh was
As cold as an Iceberg
To the Titanic of South Africa

The Judgment
Stone Swamy Downey to death
Roared the Kodfather
Amidst the mob
Hooded, stamping his feet on the ground.
Dust was flickering all over the air

He has
No fear
No pain
No guilt
Kodfather blasted out words.
He spat the cigarette **** out

His is a free mind
'T cannot be ruled
If he survives
We are doomed
Took the mouse from the plate before him
Cut its head with a scissors.

Blood pouring from
the innocent creature's remains
'T was dropped

Assassinate his character
That's enough of an excuse
This is a back story of sorts

Swamy Downey Begins
Tens now times along
Lived a mother
With her two kids
A widow

Two kids
One a boy
And one a girl

The boy was four
And the girl two

She works hard
To meet the ends
And keep the kids
Clean and Green

One day
The poor mother
Bought
Two apples
Saving money
From her meager earnings
And gave her kids

Kodfather, the boy
Ate his apple
And Rose, the daughter
(was) Playing with it

Then Kodfather said
To his little sister
Shall we play a game?

Innocent she was
Delighted
With her brother's proposal
She asked
What game?

Let's play *
Adam and Eve

The mother
Who was cooking
In the corner
Turned with a jolt
Her eyes wide

How to play?
Asked little Rose

You tempt me
And I'll eat the apple
Game's finnis

He's the one
Mother thought
You know who
A Downey must come
To save the world
Let's trace the origin story of Swamy Downey
Eyeful of tears
Mindful of fears
Are the only arrears
She left

That depressed soul
Created a big hole
By leaving her role
In poetry

That decomposed smile
Melted me for a while
I traveled many a mile
For her
Republishing my old poem again after reading WL Winter's poem on Plath.

A bishop from other town
Was moving in this one
As Swamy Downey lived

Son, what's the path
That leads to the church
Asked he, stopping
Swamy Downey

Go straight
And take the second left
Go straight and
Take the third right.
At the dead end
Is the church
You asked for
Replied Swamy Downey

Showing gratitude
The bishop said
Come to the church
Tomorrow
Son.
I'll show you the path to heaven
As a token of gratitude

Thus spake Swamy Downey
You no know the path
To the church
Then how can you guide me
*To the path of heaven?
