"pyre" poems
Gaze on that woman by the train. With curves like gunpowder that will shoot fireworks again. As her and I once were. Since then, of women, I've abstained. My chest is a pyre to the damsel I couldn't retain; fondness that won’t expire. You say I could never attain and imply I'm a liar!? Or you think either me insane or least she's miswired? The evidence on my brain - melancholy, ire - the despondent husk that remains, need you more enquire? ...True, of her, no displays of pain; eyes that jolt not tire, poker voice tipping no disdain, legs that feed desire! For her, gone love is not a chain hidden by attire or flushed down a forgotten drain. It merely retired. Love like hers was the wind and rain to my earth and fire.

Elemental Love
In India pongal is the best festival It is not a mere ritual We celebrate it in January It is very very customary It lasts for three days Bhogi,sankranti and kanuma are the days. On the first day we have a holy bath Thinking that it sets us on the right path Early in the morning we sit around the bhogi fire Thinking it is the demon Ravana’s pyre We put on a new and attractive attire Dreaming life is a joyful boat shire Children make wreaths of cowdung Throw them into the fire like a gold ring The villages are full of colourful bullocks We sing folk songs taking neem sticks The bride groom leaves for the mother-in-law’s house The bride waits for him wearing a new saree and a blouse Father-in-law gives the groom a costly gift Mother-in-law makes a sumptuous feast Younger sister-in-law teases the groom The bride and the groom confine to the room Mother prepares delicious dishes and pickles Father goes to the farm worshipping the sickles On the last day we go to the temple fair I hope I made the happy pongal very clear Yours sincerely, JVL NARASIMHA RAO

HAPPY PONGAL
I hope it makes you feel better, my Love. Seeing my heart melting for you on the roaring fire… There is nothing that I could have done to change the way that this has ended, yet I would still happily melt to make you feel better. I would still burn to keep you warm. Did you notice the way the fire made my heart glow in the orange yellow flames? I did. I also noticed the way that it cried out, feeling lost and empty and broken in its final moments of misery. And I heard how you cried out when you realized that there was nothing left but to set fire to my lonely love. I cannot explain why I have chosen this route. I cannot tell you the reasons behind choosing to burn, and at the same time, scorch you with the melting remnants of my heart. The only thing that I can say is that I am sorry. Sorry for the pain and the burns and the fire, and the need for them all. And that I am left, burning with you, just the same. And in those cooling embers, there lies the ashes of me that I will never regain, for I have given it to you. It was the shattered pieces of my Technicolor heart that filled the barren canvas with the imperfections of my love. It was the only thing which has ever made any sense and at the same time, no sense at all. It was all that I ever hoped to be mixed with all the doubt of who I was never worthy of being. It was yours, and I gave it freely to you. It should not make me sad that you have chosen to put it to rest in the funeral pyre, yet I feel the want to cry. Sleep sweet, my Love, knowing that I would throw my heart on the fire a thousand times over for you to remain un-singed by its heat. I only wish that I could have.

Compelled by calamity's magnet They loiter and stare as if the house Burnt-out were theirs, or as if they thought Some scandal might any minute ooze From a smoke-choked closet into light; No deaths, no prodigious injuries Glut these hunters after an old meat, Blood-spoor of the austere tragedies. Mother Medea in a green smock Moves humbly as any housewife through Her ruined apartments, taking stock Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery: Cheated of the pyre and the rack, The crowd ***** her last tear and turns away.

Aftermath
You are not my children, tender as you are. You are not my lover, though you cause my heart to yearn. You are not my sun, or my moon, or my star. I set you on this rock; you will not make me burn. You are simply sticks, arranged upon the pyre. You are clever tricks, though you flaunt my clear desire. You are not the match, or the wick, or the fire. I set you on this rock; To see what might transpire. You will never be a pheasant's egg to be coddled. You are only this: a calf led to the slaughter.

And the Vultures Hover Nearby: An Offering
there are women who love demons you can see it in their eyes like a sick hunger silence in a straight jacket smiling limbs on a pyre staring entranced whiskey blind as if marveling at a howling blood-spattered dingo in a crater seduced to wander off half-naked into a bush of thorns ********* barbed hooks for heroine kisses women on fire who believe in nothing except their atavistic compulsions they are a burning land beauty in ruin ready for the slender whip and black-toothed kisses who giggle and then plunge into an abyss i hold her like a jaw holds teeth

*Burning Land
For Helene. Ashes on the water, now. Love's bones like dust downstream.   At least it got to see itself in our eyes, Feel itself between hand holding hand And whispered caresses. From pillow talk to fists raised at Concerts, glasses of Portuguese wine On her balcony to the sound of magpies We named our neighbours. We were beautiful. Began beautifully. Ended gracefully. I open hands that held hers and see Nothing but skin worn by labour, And air. Ashes on the water, now. Embers without a chance against rivers   Cold with melted mountain snow and Unyielding differences. Some loves drown with lungs too full To cry; others float like a funeral-pyre- Longboat into the night, ablaze. King and queen, hand upon hand. Crowns tied from fresh flowers, We were beautiful. Began beautifully. Slid apart the way a glacier parts from The hills; slowly, but with the force Of its thousands of tons. Ashes on the water, Where the ghost of our union rests Underneath the surface of our memories. I will remember you. Until the stars burn out, raining the Dust of themselves like snow upon These waters that always are moving.

These Waters that Always are Moving
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This poem is self translated version of my Hindi language poem titled "शिव स्वरूपं" published in pratilipi on (Dec. 2017) Can be read through the link ==>> https://bit.ly/2P4j7vE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That face of Lord Shiva is most beautiful in which he holds Ganga in his hairs The Moon feels blessed by beautifying the head of Shiva as a glittering crown The Serpants also became jewellery by themselves and decorated his blue neck Shiva holds the trident on one hand and plays the Damroo from the other one He has seated himself on a mat of Tiger Skin and rubbed pyre ash on his body He has left elephant and the horses and decided to travel on an old Bull Nandi By such an amazing face form, he is always ready for the welfare of devotees The cruel and wicked have always been afraid of his eldritch face and form. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Shiva (See Line 1): A God (The Destroyer) in Hindu Mythology Ganga (See Line 1): The Holy river whose flow and speed is controlled by the coiled hairs (Jatas) of Lord Shiiva Damroo(See Line 4): A sort of musical instrument ( Pellet Drum ) Nandi((See Line 6)): A bull in Indian mythology who is the vehicle of Lord Shiva

The Face of Lord Shiva
On the eve I die alone Don't morn me simply delete me from your phone Remove my contact info erase all pics and tweets Don't simply RIP me Or shout me out on FaceBook statuses When I'm gone ignore me Go back to your regularly scheduled programming Let me slide into oblivion Where I resided in life let me rest in death If it mattered that much surely I would have known I would have sensed the emotional necessity that I placed in hearts That I etched in minds and lives So let me slip to slumber Cast out blindly on the pyre With backs turned don't mind the blaze Embrace your loved ones and hold them tight Remind them that to love and lose is to lose at best And to be stolen from and assailed at worst But still warn them of this plight And when I lay down that eve Don't wish this soul goodnight.

Goodnight
The wet sand, cools my bare feet, my eyes look- out as the sun sets into the west, wresting my tension, as small waves lap at my toes, tickling taking me back to childhood day- dreams. A ship silhouettes in the sinking sun, I am sure, I see the funeral pyre boats, of every warrior ancestor, lit burning brighter as sunlight becomes night, and I am left scenting smoke, my open arms reach over the present sea and great ocean *that is the past,* asking, am I worthy?

Am I Worthy?
I saw you in widow's eyes. I heard you in her cries. I smelt you in wood and fire. I felt you in funeral pyre. I saw you sitting on ground. I heard you in violin's sound. I smelt you in burning heart. I felt you in man sitting apart. I saw you within lost child. I heard you in his heart wild. I smelt you in anxious sweat. I felt you on his cheeks wet. Not sure if you searched me; Or somehow I found thee; Much love for me in you I see. Now you ever reside in me.

Pain
There once was a man named Beowulf Who was fiercer than a demon or werewolf Except that he had a flaw A dragon made him mortally sore This prologue is prophetic To the ending of this epic So I’ll tell you more Beowulf made his mind up at twenty-three He would race his friend to swim across the sea But fighting many sea monsters is quite trial Beowulf only caught up in the final mile Poor Beowulf, fierce as a werewolf His equal would be hard to find Though Breca nearly beat him He managed to defeat him But he would make up his mind Beowulf made his mind up in his head He would battle Grendel until one was dead But even though his strength could cause a lot of harm Beowulf only severed Grendel’s left arm Poor Beowulf, fierce as a werewolf His equal would be hard to find Though Grendel he had saddened Beowulf wasn’t gladdened And he would make up his mind Beowulf made his mind up then and there He’d **** Grendel’s mother in her watery lair Although the angry tarn-hag had put up a fight Both monsters were beheaded that very night Poor Beowulf, fierce as a werewolf His equal would be hard to find He took a child and mother Like Cain had killed his brother But he had made up his mind Beowulf made his mind up when he was old To slay a raging dragon of whom he’d been told But Beowulf couldn’t deal with the dragon’s fire And he was later burned atop a funeral pyre Poor Beowulf, fierce as a werewolf His equal would be hard to find He once was a great hero And now his worth is zero But he would make up his mind

Web caught trembling prey, blistering sadness in a shallow grave Repulsive, rotten ***** stench, locked box of putrid sorrow Blood clot hidden trench, vile secretion burrow Wolf-dressed goblin ***** muttering incantations Teetering on a broken fence, seething hatred regurgitation Greedy, evil, spineless, ***** Cunning, patient, ***** One head desire, two face succubus Speech craft, forked tongue. Slithering witch, foul gargoyle Rebuke the venomous. Castrate the young. Stoke the funeral pyre Incubate the serpent fetus. Demon, devil, liar Nevermore, sinister toil. Bone-covered soil I smite her without a flicker of remorse Death to the succubus. Death to Venus

Death to Venus
The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad sir Lancelot du Lac. When first he came to Camelot The orphan knight, Sir Lancelot Did prove his worth to Arthur's Court In jousting, and such noble sport And with his charm and courtly grace, His confidence and handsome face, He won the heart of Guinevere, And so he found his heart's one fear. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. In tournaments and deeds of arms, He never fell to earthly harms. His Lady's scarf about his breast, He held aloft his knightly chest And for her honor always strove, And worshiped her with courtly love. But she is wed, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. Beneath a tree, the young knight slept And one day, four queens on him crept, The chief of them, Morgan Le Fay. With magic, they stole him away. A choice they begged of him to make, That one of them his heart should take. But love is strong. They had no luck In tempting Lancelot du Lac. When Melegans stole Guinevere A cart, Sir Lancelot did steer To reach the hold where she was kept, Then toward the treacherous knight he leapt. He bested him with slash and blow, But to Sir Lancelot's great woe His Lady simply laughed in jest And saw no honor in his quest, For he arrived upon a cart. Thus, broken was the young knight's heart, And in a rage he left the place. He longed just for his Lady's grace. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. The young and bold Sir Lancelot Had shunned the lady of Shalott And all the swooning maidens, dear. His heart belonged to Guinevere. And were she not to Arthur, wed, She'd have the heart-sick knight instead. But so it goes, such is the luck Of sad Sir Lancelot du Lac. So when he quested for the Grail He made a promise he would fail. He said he'd not love Guinevere, But as he spoke, he shed a tear. He knew one day their love would end The table round, and hurt their friends. So when this promise he did break The land of Camelot did quake. For Agrivan, King Arthur, told His wife did love Lancelot bold And Arthur sent her to the pyre To end her sinful love, in fire. But Lancelot, his queen, did save And Arthur fell into the grave And all the knights of Table Round Were torn apart, could not be bound. And thus the fall of Camelot Was caused by one Sir Lancelot. But so it goes, such is the luck Of bold Sir Lancelot du Lac.

admiring your shadow
Banished before thon barren plains, Where treacherous tears abstain Fare. Fair is the waste, The impurity of deep, decrepit weeds. And dage brings fruit then touched Only by their ravens of rot. May they paint thine tainted stave In golden garth and lull the lark; “Mine, Sweet babe, Robbed of cradle Readied for ritual. Mine, Sweet babe, Gore masked black Within the crimson bath.” Lacen their throats, the gullets that gloat! Lest langes of thorns, wrap the bairn sworn. Death breeds glore o’er luid nights Beldam rise belles in wicked repel. Round the funeral pyre.

Salem
I don't know what he was to others—    fireworks, lemonade, ants crawling on a picnic blanket—    but I always knew him at his worst. He was sleep cycles shaped like carnival pretzels,    days that bled together, weeks that clumped like a rat king    under floorboards in the beach house. He spoke in clouds    swollen with diluvian rain, daggers of lightning    cracking the river in half, the language of a muggy body in sticky room    staring out a window at absolutely nothing.    The sort of stuff that makes me think he didn't know his own strength,    most of the time. As always, when he died this year    he died by degrees, bedridden in the hospice of September.    I listened to his death rattle  of rustling yellow leaves    and watched the last of the fireflies crawl from between his parted lips.    When he went cold for good I built a pyre out of his firewood bones.    The ashes fell into the soil like seeds in waiting, and I watched    the moon grow so large that it stretched the nighttime like candy licorice    and made it longer than before. My duty done, I turned to go.    The smoke rose up to embrace the sky, and at the time, I could have sworn   that from the corner of my eye I saw it curl around    and wave at me.

Equinox
These halls seem somewhat hollow A certain sense of sorrow Now graces ancient stone. Replacing familiar faces With defaced family paintings And cold ancestral bones. Thrones thrown upon a pyre. Fate becomes the folly Tomorrow the unknown, The brows of time are furrowed Past spent, lost, or borrowed Flowers forever bloom alone. Rats, the last lords of ruin Rule cruel shadows from the walls. Twilight sighs at daylight's rise All seems dark till darkness falls.

Rats in Ruin
Come thou, thou last one, whom I recognize, unbearable pain throughout this body's fabric: as I in my spirit burned, see, I now burn in thee: the wood that long resisted the advancing flames which thou kept flaring, I now am nourishing and burn in thee. My gentle and mild being through thy ruthless fury has turned into a raging hell that is not from here. Quite pure, quite free of future planning, I mounted the tangled funeral pyre built for my suffering, so sure of nothing more to buy for future needs, while in my heart the stored reserves kept silent. Is it still I, who there past all recognition burn? Memories I do not seize and bring inside. O life! O living! O to be outside! And I in flames. And no one here who knows me.

Death
First Kiss (Manchester to Miami) Rachel was a 19 year old student who attended the Royal Northern College of Music, located in Manchester UK. Manchester was considered the arts, media, higher education and commerce mecca of north central England. Bordered by the Cheshire plain to the south, and the Pennines mountain range to the north and east. The famous River Mersey ran along the southern side of Manchester. Rachel was packing for winter holiday with some of her classmates, to the warm beaches of Miami Florida, for a week long stay in the sun, far from the often dreary weather that settled over the UK this time of year. Not only was Rachel looking forward to the warm weather and sunny skies but she was looking forward to meeting up with Daniel. Daniel was a 40 something musician, beach bartender, handyman, who lived just outside of Miami. They had met on a poetry website seven months prior, and had established a warm friendship. They communicated almost daily threw emails, chat sites and through poetry exchanges. Their friendship had become more romantic in the last month or so, talking that silly love talk that new lovers used, and Rachel finished off every meeting with the initials AKTY at the end. AKTY stood for angel kisses to you, as Daniel liked to refer to her as his angel. they both were very excited about the chance to see each other, face to face. Rachel knew that the majority of Daniels poetry was slanted toward the romance side, and she knew from their conversations that he seemed to be educated, gentle and romantic. She was, they were, both looking forward to spending an evening together, holding hands,caressing each other, looking into each others eyes, and..... that first kiss. Kiss kiss kiss kiss hard rock guitars, lights and smoke Kiss, that first kiss, this is what, loves all about kiss, your sweet kiss, makes me go crazy, scream and shout your kiss, that angel kiss, can't live with out it, you drive me mad one kiss, just one kiss, from your sweet lips, blows my mind real bad don't know how I got by before you never want to try it no never again my darlin angel I adore you, since I met you you know i've been crazy, I've gone crazy, just can't get enuff, of you sweet baby dreaming, got me dreaming, every night baby, I don't mean maybe every kiss, like your first kiss, sets me ablaze, you know it takes me higher another kiss, I want another kiss, turn the flames up like a funeral pyre don't wanna try to get along without you never want to try it no never again my darlin angel I adore you, since I met you been waiting for that first kiss Gomer LePoet

First Kiss (Act I -Manchester to Miami) A Rock Opera
First Kiss (Manchester to Miami) Rachel was a 19 year old student who attended the Royal Northern College of Music, located in Manchester UK. Manchester was considered the arts, media, higher education and commerce mecca of north central England. Bordered by the Cheshire plain to the south, and the Pennines mountain range to the north and east. The famous River Mersey ran along the southern side of Manchester. Rachel was packing for winter holiday with some of her classmates, to the warm beaches of Miami Florida, for a week long stay in the sun, far from the often dreary weather that settled over the UK this time of year. Not only was Rachel looking forward to the warm weather and sunny skies but she was looking forward to meeting up with Daniel. Daniel was a 40 something musician, beach bartender, handyman, who lived just outside of Miami. They had met on a poetry website seven months prior, and had established a warm friendship.

You were supposed to give of yourself-- Your angel dust was dragon fire; The spark to her funeral pyre.

Metamorphosis
The witch finder general he came to seek them out. His mistake when innocent witches. The innocent ones his soul did take. Dunked Nanna in the ducking pool. Dragged aunt to Manning Tree. Wanted to started a mega pyre for the likes of thee and me. In archaic land of treachery in the land of treason. Sweet virgins crucified with no justified reason. Mother turned the milk sour. Daddy was a warlock. Brother was magic man. Kept his grimoire by his bed. Family of innocence. Witches innocent, Spitting fire now deceased after the flames. Wanted the witch finder's mortal remains.

Beware of Ego's fire Lips..Toungue Turn it up higher Sparked We become all desired..
