494 Going to Him! Happy letter! Tell Him— Tell Him the page I didn’t write— Tell Him—I only said the Syntax— And left the Verb and the pronoun out— Tell Him just how the fingers hurried— Then—how they waded—slow—slow— And then you wished you had eyes in your pages— So you could see what moved them so— Tell Him—it wasn’t a Practised Writer— You guessed—from the way the sentence toiled— You could hear the Bodice tug, behind you— As if it held but the might of a child— You almost pitied it—you—it worked so— Tell Him—no—you may quibble there— For it would split His Heart, to know it— And then you and I, were silenter. Tell Him—Night finished—before we finished— And the Old Clock kept neighing “Day”! And you—got sleepy—and begged to be ended— What could it hinder so—to say? Tell Him—just how she sealed you—Cautious! But—if He ask where you are hid Until tomorrow—Happy letter! Gesture Coquette—and shake your Head!

Going to Him! Happy letter!
there's ethical idealism: where ethics is discussed... there's ethical relativism: where ethics is practised... there's ethical realism... where ethics is quantified as an improbability; and then there's ethical absolutism, where we supposedly "progress" - in this scenario are the laws of physics actually suspended: whereby oculus qua oculus is replaced - a loss of an eye is "relative" to 10 years in a cage... really?! ethics is ideal, realistic, absolute or relative... we're encouraged to live in "realistic relativism"... never in an absolute realism, since realistic relativism only compares itself to ideal absolutism... and nothing more... ever watched that film secrets in their eyes? you ever wonder what ethical idealism is to the ethnical consequence that can absorb a realistic libra? i can only believe in ethical absolutism, ethical relativism is horrid to me... relativism adorns idealism, absolutism adorns realism... a life sentence is worse than a death sentence, whether justified or not, prison is sadism, but at least ****** is simply ****** a space-time intact, a ****** penalty is not inhumane, nor a ouija board... it's time for time, space for space, the actual punishment comes with the missing adrenaline rush of the unexpected reception of the wielded weapon... either send these jealous plonkers to siberia, or sentence them to death, for you are no more than they are, nay, you are more... you're akin to cats toying, playing a sadistic games with half-mutilated mice... this is why i abhor ethical relativism of the crucifix... hence my belief in ethical absolutism in the paragraph of realism, which is perfected, by being exacted, and never, ever, being leisurely discussed, on a farcical palette with a grimace to boot: ******* a lemon; compensating the horrors within minutes, is never compensated with ordeals that last years... which is why i find the death penalty an act of authentic humanity, and not this quasi-humanitarian act of pardon, ******* hypocrites - i abhor the caged rat more than the rat gladly nibbling on a dead corpse... at least there was passion in the ****** waiting for death penalty is like killing a vermin with poison, disposing them with nonchalantly... the wise maxim states: ledo ferrum sicut id est calidi - strike the iron while it's hot... death is the dawn-broker - a new tomorrow promise - left intact, the fermenting process of ethical dynamism takes over... then again, the supposedly "evolved" preferred moral relativism to moral absolutism, because there was no moral realism to speak of, since morality could only be talked about in ideal terms of the supposedly so, supposedly fashioned via: it ought to never happen to me... and then it might, and then: oops... argument sinks like a wet fatty **** into shambles of keeping up with the presupposed pillar of argument being "impenetrable"; hey, genius, back to the blackboard!

Mother Nature broke her water But the baby never came Our inundated world Will never be the same We watched slowly With a growing sense of impotence As an elemental army Took our innocence Some left their homes and died In another place They never did return To their own space Politicians waded 'round In their wellingtons What nerve they had to even show Their sorry skeletons Pontificated platitudes Filled the element of air And those who had been flooded Didn't really care To hear the sly sermon Those words were barely heard Though so well-written Practised and rehearsed Mother Nature has retreated now To her slumber state One day soon she'll wake again We do not know the date Windermere 2016 February 14th

The Flood
In Mahabharat, Yudhishthira was considered as the most Pious Soul. He was considered as Epitome of Virtue and it is said he did not commit any mistake, except one half lie. At the End of Mahabharat Epic, when All Pandavas tried to Venture to ascend to Heaven alive, it was the Yudhishthira only, who ascended into Heaven Alive. During the Way to Heaven, all other four Pandavas , including  Draupadi died. It is said that Yudhishthira was so Pious , Vrtuous and so truthful that his Chariot Never touched the Ground. Because of Truthfullness, Right fullness , he practised in his whole life, his Chariot Never Touched the Soil. Such was greatness of Yudhishthira. However, Yudhishthira had to Visit Hell for some time where he saw all his brothers including Draupadi tortured. Even Karna was also seen being tortured in Hell. Later Yudhishthira  was explained that he did committed a half sin in his life as he lied regarding death of Ashvatthama. It is said that this was the only half sin , which he committed in his whole life. This was the only reason, Yudhishthira had to visit Hell. But what about Betting his Wife Draupadi in Gamble. Mahabharat is totallysilent on this aspect. In Mahabharat , Yudhishthira was not held guilty for betting his Wife Draupadi in Gamble and loosing her. Yudhishthira used his Wife as Good. I think this is one of the most heinous crime committed in Mahabharat. Yudhishthir Must had to be held guilty for that. But instead, this was rationalized. During the Exile, when Bhim and Arjuna held Yudhishthira responsible for all this, Sage Vyas reached there and told them story of Ram and Lakshmana that how Lakshmana left his wife for his brother Ram. Thus Yudhishthira was protected by Vyasa. It is a matter of Great Surprise to me that Mahabharat did not consider betting of wife in Gamble, A Sin. In my view betting of wife Draupadi in Gamble , by Yudhishthir is the most heinous crime , he committed and for this he was not worthy of entering into Heaven alive, like other Pandavas and Kauravas.

Dear friends , this is an old poem of mine which was composed after I learnt that one of my favourite Hollywood actor Richard Gere had become a Buddhist and believed in Zen Philosophy. So having read about Zen, I composed in a simple format about the same. Hope you like it. Thanks, - Raj.                     ZEN PHILOSOPHY With roots buried deep in soils of Ancient India, And watered by the exotic blend of three different cultures; Reflecting the mysticism of India, the pragmatism of the Confucian mind, and the Taoist’s love of naturalness and spontaneity, Buddhism bloomed and blossomed into an exotic flower called 'Zen Philosophy'! In 475 AD a pupil of Buddha called Bodhidharma went to China. There the Mahayana School of Buddhism mingled with Chinese Taoism, which evolved into Chan Philosophy! 'Chan ' derived from the Sanskrit  word 'dhyana', which meant 'silent meditation',  - Through which the Buddha attained enlightenment and salvation! Later, in 1200 AD this Chan philosophy travelled to the shores of Japan, Where 'Chan' got translated to 'Zen' by its many followers and fans! ZEN is the art of meditation to achieve inner awakening, To gain intuitive knowledge, highlighting the inadequacy of logical reasoning! It therefore advocates the practice of 'zazen' or 'sitting meditation', For acquiring inner awakening through silent contemplation! ZEN could be practised in our daily life, Without entering a hermitage, leaving behind your family or wife! 'Gain the naturalness of your original true nature', -  preaches the Zen Teacher through meditation, 'Rather than through mere faith and devotion, which is contrary to Zen notion.' 'One must awaken to this present moment to feel this life, And not waste time in speculations of an Elusive After-Life’! The 'Enso' or the ‘circle’, is the Zen symbol which is often deployed, Symbolising Enlightenment, Strength, the Universe, and the Void! With this 'expression of the moment ' the Zen Philosophy starts, And today the ‘Enso’ is also the symbol of Expressionist Art! Never ask the Zen Master 'What is Zen, when, or how? ', For he will always tell you, - 'Zen Is The Instant Now'!                                                       - Raj Nandy, New Delhi.

He thought he saw an Elephant That practised on a fife: He looked again, and found it was A letter from his wife. "At length I realize," he said, "The bitterness of life!" He thought he saw a Buffalo Upon the chimney-piece: He looked again, and found it was His Sister's Husband's Niece. "Unless you leave this house," he said, "I'll send for the police!" he thought he saw a Rattlesnake That questioned him in Greek: He looked again, and found it was The Middle of Next Week. "The one thing I regret," he said, "Is that it cannot speak!" He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk Descending from the bus: He looked again, and found it was A Hippopotamus. "If this should stay to dine," he said, "There won't be much for us!" He thought he saw a Kangaroo That worked a Coffee-mill: He looked again, and found it was A Vegetable-Pill. "Were I to swallow this," he said, "I should be very ill!" He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four That stood beside his bed: He looked again, and found it was A Bear without a Head. "Poor thing," he said, "poor silly thing! It's waiting to be fed!"

vulnerability
They hail me as one living, But don’t they know That I have died of late years, Untombed although? I am but a shape that stands here, A pulseless mould, A pale past picture, screening Ashes gone cold. Not at a minute’s warning, Not in a loud hour, For me ceased Time’s enchantments In hall and bower. There was no tragic transit, No catch of breath, When silent seasons inched me On to this death … —A Troubadour-youth I rambled With Life for lyre, The beats of being raging In me like fire. But when I practised eyeing The goal of men, It iced me, and I perished A little then. When passed my friend, my kinsfolk, Through the Last Door, And left me standing bleakly, I died yet more; And when my Love’s heart kindled In hate of me, Wherefore I knew not, died I One more degree. And if when I died fully I cannot say, And changed into the corpse-thing I am to-day, Yet is it that, though whiling The time somehow In walking, talking, smiling, I live not now.

He thought he saw an Albatross That fluttered round the lamp: He looked again, and found it was A Penny-Postage Stamp. 'You'd best be getting home,' he said: 'The nights are very damp!' He thought he saw a Garden-Door That opened with a key: He looked again, and found it was A Double Rule of Three: 'And all its mystery,' he said, 'Is clear as day to me!' He thought he saw a Argument That proved he was the Pope: He looked again, and found it was A Bar of Mottled Soap. 'A fact so dread,' he faintly said, 'Extinguishes all hope!'

Her bed wouldn't release her, Despite the alarm clock's vicious bite, had a late one last night, hey, Jenna, Mother called, time to get up honey, get your *** moving, and I'll chuck you some money, maybe get you fast food breakfast, won't tell you again, that time was the last. Jenna fell out of bed, chucked on her clothes, looked like a clothes horse, with a pierced nose, She wiped on her daily slap, told the world that school was crap, wiped on a phoney grin, Mamma said she must go in, In a very loud voice, She spouted, only thing worth having, was not education, but  in her classes gangs of boys. Had enough of dictatorial teachers, she could still hang out in bed, learning from dreams, instead, She  so hated mother's nagging, practised in old bagging, She had no yearning for  learning, all she wants to do is sleep!

The Naughty Schoolgirl!
There it sits Waiting Watching It's a Yamaha With a Union-Jack back The last of it's Kind It's been a faithful companion It came to me When I was six Not brand new But second hand Through all the tears All the humiliation All the pain All the scoldings All the belittlings It stuck through with me With sweat and blood Shed on the keys It didn't complain When I threw My tantrums Banging the keys Even kicking it once Or twice It just waited And watched me Till I calmed down And felt Stupid After I practised Everyday And not once Did it Complain It has a really bright Crystal clear Sound With this certain Energy And depth I took great pride In taking care of it Polishing it Every other day Till it shone Like a mirror As time went by One grade after the other The practises became Less and Less I didn't care for it As much as I did Before A year passed Then another Now I'm fourteen It's twenty eight Or more I've had my share Of performing On stage With all types of pianos But there was this One thing That was different With my piano Something it Lacked The sound is there The energy is there But somehow When I compare the recordings My dear piano Just sounds Tired... The touch stickier The keys start failing On some days It sounds Muted Always slightly off key No matter how many times The piano man comes This is one patient The doctor can't treat Is it possible That emotions Can be transferred To objects? Has my raging Over the keyboard Tired it out By having to Express What I play And what I Put Into the pieces? It's a piano Of memories Of thoughts Of an inexpressable phenomenon Called feelings "Where words fail, music speaks" I salute you Dear piano For allowing me To express myself Through the written pieces You help Materialize We have grown together Walked this long journey together And with all the memories Sweat Blood Tears That has made me today I won't part with Till the very end, Dear piano So shall we continue?

In the book Going Solo, Roald Dahl wrote about a woman Who refused to eat anything with her bare hands Instead, everything had to be handled with utensils Knife in one hand and fork in another She described the satisfaction of fruit cutting The inexplicable joy at cleanly cleaving peel from flesh Skill precise as a surgeon Cutting it up according to Nature's dotted lines I tried it on the same fruit Somehow it just didn't feel right Too refined, too silent Unlike the practised deft peeling with bare fingers Fingernails digging into the fruit, both refusing to compromise Until eventually, the rind gives way and a cut is made And from that same opening, tearing outwards Sounding like strips of velcro are slowly being separated The uneven globe of translucent orange flesh coming naked Its pith shielding you from its full bright glory Pulling it apart by halves, and then quarters, and then tenths Each crescent shaped carpel in its mouth sized perfection Sacs accidentally bursting, fingers sticky with juice That is how an orange ought to be peeled.

337 I know a place where Summer strives With such a practised Frost— She—each year—leads her Daisies back— Recording briefly—”Lost”— But when the South Wind stirs the Pools And struggles in the lanes— Her Heart misgives Her, for Her Vow— And she pours soft Refrains Into the lap of Adamant— And spices—and the Dew— That stiffens quietly to Quartz— Upon her Amber Shoe—

Retro Morn: Re-Reading Jenny (1.) and Her Purple Hat, (2.), Listening to Vonda Shepard I am a beautiful woman, and reliably informed so, by handsome. men, lustful fools, and one too many sideward glances in a difference place, musical needs call me out to retro smooth me away from the waves of nausea of news repeats ingested, the lesser qualities of human beings basic basest nature, I inhale subdued Jenny’s defiance of life’s expectations and Vonda’s voice smooth my discordant emotive candles that won’t stay lit, add in a touch of melting Joni & Divine Ms. Bette, gets me slow kickstarting and I have not reached the lofty plateau of twenty five years of age *but my mom, the  Queen Regent, reminds me royalty possesses very old souls, which Is why I’m caught out listening, dancing awake to the music of her youth* and hear her discreetly humming the tunes, even though the phone connection broken minutes earlier she signed off with a practised Elizabethan airy disturbance royal wave of her hand, instructing this raining (no, not reigning) Queen to  “darling go write a poem…” don’t we all listen to our mothers?* my name is brandychanning music inhale subdued kickstarting a poem

Retro Morn: Re-Reading Jenny and Her Purple Hat, Listening to Vonda Shepard
Why Did you have to be so god **** talented The way you walked showed your swagger The confidence the happiness I could watch you walk all day The way you smile For years I thought you practised Because a glimpse was all I needed Before my heart melted for you I've seen you playing games The perfectness The way you seem to never lose How your eyebrows centre and your forehead wrinkles It seems my eyes are trained on you You look so **** good all the time I've seen you grow As has my love My eyes may only see you But your eyes only see them

Talent Through Your Veins
grotesque old Tomon-go in that corner he holds in the market he looks angry, fierce and his open mouth inside as red as the feet of a fighting **** Ah, his words fly like arrows helter-skelter some miss, some strike – he does not know what missiles he sends, what he throws and in turn anything he receives he throws back with quadrupled energy *He looks fierce, he looks mean all relatives say in hushed tones - but he’s really nice, a softie with a hard exterior* at the market his face is convoluted there are a hundred writhing beings that make up his countenance (each a contortionist) the energy of the practised old grumpy men live in his hands and he unleashes words that make everyone recall the last tsunami *He looks fierce, he looks mean all the women and men in the market say in whispers - but he’s really nice, a softie with a hard exterior* Ah, poor Tomon-go, his words and manner isolate him he hurts others and is hurt in turn Poor Tomon-go, poor all who come in contact with him though they might whisper to one another: *He looks fierce, he looks mean but he’s really nice, a softie with a sharp tongue and grotesque exterior*

walked across the dunes to the light house to clear my thoughts. the windsailors were riding the sky, my son calls them  the teabag people. but to me they are like those  seed pods that coast upon the wind in search of something beyond. the grass soughs and if you sit quietly enough, you can hear the hungry cry of the little tern chicks. hidden in the dunes nearby. the sand trickles through twining, grasping, tenuous grass roots, single grains multi-hued, flow like minature snowboarders down the dunes, steep slippery slide. little metallic black ants have the herculean task, of working this slope for seeds and other oddments of food. i watch one stumble,stomp past, sherpa-like, precariously balancing a potato crisp's crumb. while scaling the acute angle of sliding sand. the pittering of the sandy ground indicates the presence of giant skinks, sleek glassine skinned lizards that are at home in the area. their track patterns, remind me of those old teach yourself to dance charts seen in black and white films, you would now find them mostly in antique stores. the tide is in recess and the terns are hunting, mottled little sand ***** in some killer, crazy game of tig or redrover. where to lose is to looose! the windsailor above is surpassed by the big old seahawk as he stretches his wings. it is a comparison of true mastership, over a poor and gaudy parody. the hawk with practised disdain, dives, through the breakers emerging, with his fish dinner. as i turn toward home. i wonder, was it the fandango the lizards, were trying to master?

This beautiful smile conceals and covers All the pains of disconnected lovers. This beautiful smile, iv practised for years. It shows itself now to mask the tears This beautiful smile has been perfected to hide All the pains that haught me inside This beautiful smile is begining to break I'm not sure how much more I can take This beautiful smile, believe me iv tried But it can not take away the thoughts of suicide.

This beautiful smile
As their practised shouts and screams can be heard Her hair tickles my cheek, a laugh so bright That even from across our boundless earth Their screams melt away in place of her light We seal our sweet love with one precious kiss   But yet their hands will turn to fists of fear   I try to ignore them through all this bliss Her soft and whispered words all I can hear Religion and prejudice tells us no   Their fists of fear now turned to fists of red They spit and sneer at us that we must go   Their words banging their way into my head To their forced love with him I say, no Sir   Because, you see, my love belongs to her

Her
I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost, Who died before the God of Love was born: I cannot think that he, who then loved most, Sunk so low as to love one which did scorn. But since this god produced a destiny, And that vice-nature, Custom, lets it be, I must love her that loves not me. Sure, they which made him god meant not so much, Nor he in his young godhead practised it; But when an even flame two hearts did touch, His office was indulgently to fit Actives to passives. Correspondency Only his subject was; it cannot be Love, till I love her that loves me. But every modern god will now extend His vast prerogative as far as Jove. To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the God of Love. Oh were we wakened by this tyranny To ungod this child again, it could not be I should love her who loves not me. Rebel and atheist too, why murmur I As though I felt the worst that love could do? Love might make me leave loving, or might try A deeper plague, to make her love me too, Which, since she loves before, I’m loth to see; Falsehood is worse than hate; and that must be, If she whom I love should love me.

Love’s Deity
I bet we're going to kiss like addicts hungry for a hit and I'm sorry I'm not made of much except bruises and bleeding knuckles. Your words mostly touch me but I'm begging for your hands to instead. My mind used to be made up of cemeteries and all I thought about was writing eulogies to how dead I felt inside. I want you to stain my teeth and leave your taste in my mouth permanently. I want you to swallow me whole and take me daily like I'm apart of your well being like you are for me. A lot of the time I want you naked and quivering for me and a lot of the time I want you wrapped around me so tightly that nothing could tear you apart from me like this god **** distance is right now. I want my name bruised down your spine so you don't leave yourself in ruins. This is messy and scattered but so are we and I love you more that I know how to breathe.

I practised kissing you by writing this
Nailed and ******* on hands and legs, Maimed and marred beyond repair, Cut and bruised out of shape, Stripped and peeled, so bare to shock, Lo, there lies a man! The Son of God, On a cross erected on the summit of the Mount, Brutally suspended between Earth and Sky, Stationed amid thieves on either side. He slipped and slithered under the yoke of weight, And tottered the rugged route to Calvary, Scourged and flogged all along, He bore the cross with none to help. Never complained nor cursed but suffered the pangs, Never whined nor moaned, but drained the cup, Through His death, mankind was to be redeemed, By His precious blood, their infirmities to be cleansed It was for our sins that He lay down His life, It was our misdeeds that made Him bleed, It was for our lust that He was painfully stripped, It was our arrogance that bent Him low. None could gauge the agony he endured, No man ever performed such a daring deed, To liberate mankind, the Lamb was slain, To lead his Flock, He walked in front. ‘Love your enemy’ was the mantra He recited, What He preached, He relentlessly practised, While writhing in pain, He prayed for His foes, Pleaded with his Father to spare the wrath. When wrongly accused, never said He a word, Unruffled remained He on painfully betrayed, Hard it was to be deserted by those He loved, Sore it was to be treated so very rude. The Son of Man came seeking the missing sheep, He builds from where everything is wrecked, Rejoice in Him, for He is our Lord! Adore and worship, He deserves to be praised. Peace was what He promised the world, Grace was what He gifted to all, Look up to the Cross when trials confront, And cast your burden at His feet!

The 'Mad Saga' of Love on the Mount

We were washed in the dim glow of moonlight, Our heartbeats calm and tranquil, Serenity beat around us, And soft melodical jazz that thrilled. It was a beautiful night, One that transcended the bounds of reality, We felt as two stars transported, Into a sweet magical galaxy. I felt your soft satin skin touch upon my hand, And a innocent desire took hold of me. I put your hand upon my shoulders and grabbed your waist. We twisted and spun to the sound of jazz, Our bodies synced in rhythm and grace, As if two stars that burned for long, Had collided in a charming embrace. Your moonlit body glided across the floor like a graceful swan, Practised and perfected in its movement and poise, As I looked upon my fate with head upheld and flashed a grateful smile to it twice. And we whirled and twirled, Every second abuzz with magic and delight, Our bodies weary and sweat drenched, Yet, our soul's thirst unquenched. As we slowed down, I had an ardent desire to never halt, And In that moment fate immortalised us, And we became the two dancing stars who never stopped.

Dancing Stars
The shadows of the railing By the room I played last night. The whistle of a siren And the blood of a lost fight. And the closed sign on the food store Brokenwss window, crack of light And the hurt that won't subside won't u let me look inside? And the come on look from a burnt out ***** And the words that split my side. Everything makes sense somehow It's all that I expect The tears I knew I'd always shed The freight train singing in my head. The rocks that turned a stranded heart Into a sunken, flooded wreck. Yet, All of this is somewhat new, Baby I never thought this would come from u, Ur soul was clean and pure and..... Jesus Christ am I so lame That it snuck right up on me? I who's every move was honed and practised, 1 and 2 and fucking 63 ! Oh here's the rub, the wake up call. I never knew that dame at all, She let me think she needed love And I gave my past, and then my love. And when her need of me was done And some other shmo became the one The line was cut, connection frayed Her single, final, vail displayed, she naked, danced into the shade So I could fall, into the sun Not laughed at, But........ Tolerated, tolerated Tolerated........ By everyone. Thank you. I'm here all week. Try the soup.

Tolerated
Fidel Castro, the secular Pontiff The day began with sadness Fidel Castro is dead despite the USA's bilious behaviour And ill attempt to **** him, he was able to create a health system second to none And also made the country with the highest literacy on that part of the world which will stand the people well in the coming storm He had many flaws democracy as we understand it was not on the list, mind the way it is practised in the west is not impressive I towering political giant his place in history is assured on a page of its own and not lumped together with King & Queens and other useless historical figure We expect the lying Cuban mafia will try to enter, bring their I-Phones and cheap day loans, one hope when they find life will tear them apart that they will not forsake the socialist revolution and what Cuba was before Fidel Castro and can so easily a place for gambling and prostitution again
