Zindagi ne, is kaddar, kiya hai, bas vaar Bina koi, churee, ya koi, talwaar Ghaayal; dil ye hua, baar, baar Zindagi ne, di, chotain hazaar Gaye thay, hum, is tarah se, bikhar jooda na, paye thay phirse ye jigar khaamoshi se, milta tha, bas, karaar tanhayeeon se , karte thay, iqraar Jhanke, hum jab, dil ke, jo andar Sach nikala, gehrayion se, baahar Shikayat hai, ab na, koi takraar karne lage hai, hum, khudse jo pyaar! Translation in English Self Love Life has waged on me many a war Without even a sword or a dagger so far The heart was wounded time and again Life hurt and caused me so much pain My life was but thrown helter skelter I could not piece my heart together Silence was but my solace Solitude was my only grace When I dug deep within me The truth I could clearly see I have no grievances or complaints now Having realized the importance of self-love

Hindi poem with English translation.
Dark clouds loomed over the horizon They broke loose in unprecedented force Nature’s wrath, sudden violence acquired It rained down as if unleashing all her fury It was a downpour without one equal The heavens let down dark misery for days on end, Water bodies swelled and hollows filled, Land mass slipped and trees fell, Rivers were in spate and dams were full Waves surfed and waters roared, Like mountains they rose over the land, Men in throngs were evicted from their homes, Hundreds died and livestock perished Such violence, never ever imagined Helter-skelter, people fled for life. Lands inundated and folks marooned, Homes washed away with all belongings Power failed and life has come to a halt Rescue operations go on in full swing Still many, stranded and crying for help “Water, water everywhere, nor even a drop to drink” As Nature thus plays her perfidious trick, We shall stay united and pool all our might, To regain for our land what we have lost When the Deluge chants the dirge of dying souls!

Nature's Wrath
Walking into the woods I stared at giant redwood trees The leaves being crushed under my feet I sat beside the wise tree and looked up into the moon Listening to the cries of overhead flying loons The silence was a sound itself, it was strange to hear myself think for once I sat there reading and thinking until down went the sun, I got up and left my small haven in the woods, returning to My meager shelter Torches ablaze as I returned home It calmed my inner helter-skelter

Concerned, my wellbeing doesn’t come into it neither does my wife’s; but worried I am, for my children’s future, my children children’s future and for my great, great grandchildren too. I listen with horror, I watch and shudder, I read and feel misery; when the wind blows, because time enough at last,( or is it?), I gaze at the old man in the cave, with a little peace and quiet, will it be shelter skelter? Are we in quarantine? Chosen? For a new place, alas, Babylon with perhaps Dr Strange Love? Maybe there is no soul within the man, unless the balanced man became unbalanced, what reason has a man got, (even if he’s people are suffering from punishment), To justify such actions? Perhaps Pak Pong-ju is not a man, Could he be God’s apprentice God’s messenger God’s terminator, to emulate ***** and Gomorrah or Pompeii? Why should we shoot the messenger? If this is the case then truly I should be concerned, my wellbeing doesn’t come into it neither does my wife’s; but worried I am, for my children’s future, my children children’s future and for my great, great grandchildren too.

Moment of Explosion Approaching Fast
I need a shot of something strong- (anthrax?) 'cause I have too much passion for distraction thought it's probably what I need most, just a little break from thoughts and selfishness I do not own anyone, not even myself it's all variable it's terrible this illness of assuming the right to feel a certain way about anything when you're wrong, the feelings are wrong it's possible. Too much analysis not enough mental paralysis freeze let it stand still, we're close enough to the speed of light to halt forward motion of time slide in a black hole Helter Skelter, and I'll see you again a changed man, new person, brain transplant and I won't care oceans are forever and round like the universe citrus smiles mean only positive moments nothing serious ever again sight for sore thighs joy.

But there's something inescapable About this deoxyribose stuff. As though its winding skelter might secretly Hold all of fate In its innocent-looking strands.

They began without notice, in the city of Mombasa By the Al shabab shooting baby Osinya in the head, Killed the mother, leaving a slug stuck in Osinya’s head Killing and mauling many others macabrously, Killing for no other reason, but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. They had initially lynched the West Gate Mall In Nairobi, killing the aged and seasoned darling Of African poetry and true fountain of peace The dearest Kofi Awonor, in full watch of his son, Confirming a trail of the ghastly curse of fate and death That totted him arduously from his home in the west Of the tropical gulag that makes the land of Africa From where the terror maestro ; Boko haram reign scot free Mayheming, Killing, ****** and kidnapping harmless virgins Killing For no other reason but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity.

An African man with a gun is a brute of brutes, Giving an African a gun is simple mess of the world In to helter-skelter poise tilting peace higgledy-piggledy, Killing one another like animals premised by Charles Darwin As overtly seen in the warring Congo and CAR, Where Africans **** one another in a stupid dint, To ape Rwanda or no!

How shall I discover, uncover, and (re) cover you??
I have hid behind broken shadows, disappointed daydreams and somber reminders. I have been bitten by the black widow of life, poisoning my veins with her venom of death. I have been mutilated like one of Jack the Ripper's victim on the dark streets of London, left to bleed out. I have escaped the evil smiles of Pogo the Clown that crept in my dreams as I slept at night, crying my black tears. I have been Bound, Tied and Killed by the innocent friendly neighbor, twisted in the head by the devil himself. I could hear the screams of the pregnant actress as the Family took her life in a blood bath, as they began their Helter Skelter. I can not escape this Alcatraz of torture in my mind, that has been placed there by the lunatics of our time. But it is fun in this asylum. Welcome to my padded cell.

Sometimes, I am a paper girl. I look in the mirror To judge my blotches and creases- I am a pale, thin tissue That bows to the howling wind Transparent for anyone who cares enough to look. If you like pretty pictures, I'm the one for you- A roll of film scratching laughs On curious cinema screens That could run into infinity Just to fuel your smile. I soak up your messes willingly: All the colours that bleed and mix To form the specks of sadness In your eyes at 10.p.m And the grass stains that roll Down your bare gypsy feet And the sunflower seeds That stick to your inky lashes- These things give an echo of the flavour I miss. I am vain I regularly conjure up poetry on my skin- Do not give me yours. I will recite it to my last paper breath So I can kid myself that paper is power. I am not the phantom you teach to play piano Under the helter-skelter moon, I am far too fragile for that- My paper cut fingers bend And bleed light all over the keys. My hands are a canvas For anyone's ***** details For if enough titles are painted on my body then perhaps I will learn the complex trick Of gaining depth And maybe the world will look as full And real as I read in books And dance with in music And maybe my edges will stop being ripped Or my corners cut Or my pages burned and tossed aside. Sometimes, I am this tiny Vulnerable Origami creature And my cream card bones tremble like feathers A bad caricature of life. Sometimes I am full of wonder- But right now, I am this.

My visit to Jurassic Park What a shock And my how those fences spark And be careful Of those prehistoric sharks If you go wading in the sea Don't expect to live past 3 And raptors roam Across the forest floor I wonder what else the park Has in store? Brachiosaurus eating leafs From a tree What a beautiful creature It seems to be! But stay away From those long legs They can stomp you into The ground Like little pegs Well I enjoyed my trip To Jurassic Park I did not dare go out In the dark I stayed in The park's Atomic shelter Better than running around That park helter-skelter Better safe than sorry I always say I left that park And lived to see another day

My Visit To Jurassic Park
I rose at night and visited The Cave of the Unborn, And crowding shapes surrounded me For tidings of the life to be, Who long had prayed the silent Head To speed their advent morn. Their eyes were lit with artless trust; Hope thrilled their every tone: “A place the loveliest, is it not? A pure delight, a beauty-spot Where all is gentle, pure and just And violence is unknown?” My heart was anguished for their sake; I could not frame a word; But they descried my sunken face And seemed to read therein, and trace The news which Pity would not break Nor Truth leave unaverred. And as I silently retired I turned and watched them still: And they came helter-skelter out, Driven forward like a rabble rout Into the world they had so desired, By the all-immanent Will.

The Cave Of The Unborn
Dear Poet Friends, Delhi is well known for its Dust Storms during the hot and humid month of May & June, and the absence of rain! This poem was composed in the Month of May 2008, and posted on ‘Poetfreak.com'.  Hope you like the same. Thanks, - Raj                        DUST  STORM All through the sultry and humid day, The sky had grown angry and reddish grey! And the evening suddenly became very still, As an eerie silence crept there in! When suddenly from the sky came rushing out, Making a prolonged whistling and gushing sound, As if some beastly hounds have been let out, - There came the raging, ravaging, Dust Storm! Lashing the tree tops and smashing window panes , Uprooting old trees by road side and lanes! Ravaging and railing with its destructive force, Blew the angry and relentless dust storm! As papers and packets and old withered leaves, Flew around like thread-less kites on this hot Summer's eve! All my collected thoughts, desires, and dreams, Flew helter-skelter with the winds up high, Like rudderless ships without direction, With the whirlwind in its maddening motion. With dust in my hair, in my eyes and mouth, As the sand storm raged all around and about! When after some time like a spent out force, The storm abated as night drew close. With dust in my hair, in my eyes and mouth, But a pleasant coolness prevailed all around! Dust Am I, And To Dust I Shall Return, ** Once I wake up from my Earthly trance! And with the raging dust storm I shall rage one day, To join up in its maddening dance in the month of May!                     ---Raj Nandy, New Delhi.

I found you, cast away in the shadows, hiding from the laughter, of those painted clown faces I found you, on the rooftop sat with your arms, clasped to you, wrapped around Searching through the crowd blinded, the lights of this crazy, maddening fairground Colours forming, moving the Northern lights, blazing blues, green, pinks, yellows Kids and lovers, screaming the Matterhorn spinning, a frisbee gondola swinging Midsummer Fair, a fresh green common distracted, I turn, the Midnight Express decorated, loosely dressed women and men Axles rattling in and out Ferris wheels, bumper cars, waltzes Ray Davies playing, side stalls and games Rubber ducks hooked, fathers shadowing ***** misplacing baskets, a high strike to the bell in among mirrors, I now find myself reflecting A cacophony of sounds, noise music of Bob Bradley penetrating these convex mirrors, movers and shakers I pace past drag queens, circus freaks footsteps moving in timely accord the Helter Skelter, confused, disorderly haste I am the whirlwind, climbing outside the spiral tower, to the top stars and constellations above At its peak, I see you you've climbed onto the rooftop again I always found you here hide and seek, morphed into children's games of sardines I find you, you have hidden I stay with you, until we are found Together. © Sia Jane

Midsummer Fair
Neck-deep in the business of business, only his head remains sleepless in the dark of early mornings to enlighten those who sleep in, and spotlight his peers who delight him. His capital investment is love and empathy; he replenishes the funds spent on an island of shelter, the helter-skelter of Monday-Friday a Distressway away. North Country chair on the dock over beckoning waves sounding their Circe song, drawing him to the bedrock of peace with himself and others. Generous with his words his head runneth over and verses cascade down, filling one from another like a mountain of flutes poured from a veritable jeroboam of the muse's vintage. Only love shows as he writes doing the poetic hokey-pokey, left foot in, left foot out. He has turned my world around... and that's what it's all about.

an island of shelter (to Nat)
The blustery east wind gathers the fragrant   Warm Springs high desert mountain sage, cascading downhill through Dry Creek pass surging downward from above the Hood River valley, with breath of sky's bouquet of billowing aromatic avalanche, gushing of heaven's zephyr The poignant sudden starkness of fiery autumn leaves letting go whirling ― falling helter skelter, pushed urgently flying westbound, beckoned franticly by distant whispered ocean bellows blowin' in the winds     of change ― Adrift across Parkdale mountain meadows, Coyote  bent, paw trodden ripe sweet grasses, pungent  with waft of mountain sage and fermenting apples fallen ― the waxing silence of the marvelous moon echoes  just beyond the Lost Lake of the Woods, its golden orange crescent dances on clear lake ripples, high perched sky reflection lapping the moon kissed shoreline  ― alone ―   The Sliver of the Moon, skinny lithe unripened youth arching as unsated        summer love  ―   sage memories waxing and waning, whiffs of honeyed Jasmine writhing witherings, coalescent     time drifts onward ―    unstoppable changes never turning around looking back to see their fading reflection     recurring ―    august rivers 2017 *note to self: September 15, 16 east wind Breathing Waft of lingering Mountain Sage another Autumn soon comes* ... and I'm getting older too

helter-skelter
From the helter skelter In a helter skelter dash For solitude at the esker I strayed in a labyrinth Of dark soaring woods Here-upon, trees begun to move! An optical illusion it seemed to be, Though a moment my eyes did love; But in a mean time, out of kilter Was the avenue to the esker. Wandering midst soaring woods Serendipitously there I beheld An elegant creature, A creature with a velvety Pale unblemished skin, Lilly white as porcelain, Gaily yet opalescent as an opal, With curling glossy auburn hair, Mellifluously whispering a lullaby With verve in the wanton air Whilst flapping her wings To take wing. On feasting about her impeccable face, It thus dawned upon me: "She was not of this our world But an alien, an angel rom outer space." Swiftly, I gravitated towards her And unto her said I was lost, Lost like leaves beneath the frost Upon my way for solitude at the esker However the sheer cynosure She'd taken my fancy Hence moonstruck for sure. She gagged me, cwtched me, Enveloped me in her wings And merrily took wing Whilst I gallantly kissed, Kissed her nectar kisser. Past mullbery skies we soared, All the way unto her land of bliss Where upon we swam naked, Naked in halcyon waters, Waters of her land. Together, we made poetry Of love and life so blind, Cherishing moment after moment One could search forever to find, Whilst gallivanting from star to star, Only alone by ourselves on yonder To a very distant colourful clime, Yonder beyond restrictions of time.

Against his will he’s confined in a notorious cell block mansion Inmate number B-33920 his name, Charles Manson. Some say he’s a prophet of living disaster I beg to differ for what I can honestly see, Never under estimate our power for he is also a vision master. So charismatic diamonds start to fall off his tongue There picking them up as his blessed words begin to flow. Paying for a crime he never did any wrong The panel was rigged and the prosecutor Knew which way the final verdict would go. Living in fear all the members of the jury If it were random picks I’d be the hold out Just to see the audience eyes become burning blurry And to watch the splinters fly in the air As the gavel comes smashing down in a hurry. Denying freedom each and every time The parole board does forever plan. Under duress they have no choice for they been warned Secretly hiding behind alias screen names I predict there also joining his internet fan club clan. Exploiting him for their own financial gain The state’s making profits just because of his name And to me they are the ones, who are savage Because if the DOC loses custody of their celebrity They then will lose their stimulus package. At head count his body may physically be there But in his mind, he’s walking on warm desert sand As he pretends he is in Death Valley. As for me, I’m lurking in the street And hiding in a back alley. Helter Skelter, Helter Skelter, Helter Skelter Let him go, let him go, let him go! (SirCARSr. 12-6-13)

This is my shelter My helter skelter So tear me from the lonely diversion, as I am the melting corrosion This is my place My ugly face I fall to the angry sea, as a withered man, I plead This is my view, My broken pew, I cross my broken fingers, as time spent and destiny lingers This is my penitence, My own resistance I am not strong because I am weak as life stops, I can not speak

Withered Man
Carnival carvings seep into your tombstone. And from the ceiling, we hanging, in red and black striped pajamas watched you get lowered. The jesters        cartwheel in my laugh, they travel and trial, tediously tar, and rat aches in to my tartar. I weep for the wayward west, that (you never explicitly promised) we were to visit. I've seemed to begun, helter-skelter a few;                    steam trombones There are no masonry aemons. Of ghouls gnaws only poetry, awaiting our reunion, my dearest Laika- forever deceased.

Laika
The wandering minstrel, sung a song that kept hidden, deep in his lonely heart, it touched the dancing girl so much, she sprang up on her feet unprompted, and danced the way the song spoke to her. Oh! it was marvelous and she was swift like a lightening during monsoon, there was a subtle absence that heightened her presence, her admirers, a whole lot, was caught by surprise, strangely, they got agitated, as her move was unexpected, that stirred a hornet's nest which, then  led to a melee of sorts, every one was running helter- skelter, while the whirlwind swirled around, the girl still danced like possessed. Only now they saw the Dervish, with long white hair and flowing dress, while he gently circled, his aura bright created a dazzling circle of light. It became difficult to see what happens, to most, without the inner light. **To the few with opened inner eyes it was revealed at once thus: the swirling dervish, the ecstatic dancer and the wandering minstrel lost in  his song went beyond, became one in spirit.**

The mystical moment of oneness.
Srinu, you demented little kid To have you in my life i don't know what good things i did! You can really take a bad song and make it better We all know how crazy you are about Helter Skelter You'd make a better actor than the guy who played Bane I'm telling you, for the music industry, you're the next Kurt Cobain! Man I'd love to see you perform 'House of the Holy' I'm pretty sure you'll never leave the guitar, not even for the Cannoli When you get hyper you remind us all of the Incredible Hulk You're the happiest kid I've ever seen; you never sulk! Your moods are unexpected and its types are various Your crave for those "SUBSTANCES" is hilarious! I know that Nirvana has made your Chemistry easier You can now point out Lithium on the Periodic Table at your leisure That face you make when you play the guitar is that of a Negative Creep And when you blush you remind me of Meryl Streep You lucky dog, you share your birthday will George Harrison! If you were born during World War II, you'd provide awesome entertainment by playing guitar at the garrison Over the Hills and Far Away is where you'll have your tryst A Whole Lotta Love is definitely part of your Wishlist You're way more electrifying than Angus Young You set the stage on fire with your guitar skills and singing at the top of your lungs Linkin Park is your childhood and In The End, it does matter The Caste of Glass that you're building will never shatter Your love for Jimi Hendrix is stronger than a dose of Purple Haze Cuz your love for that musician is true and not just a phase Santana invented the Spiritual ****** which makes us forget all our fears Eric Clapton breaks me down into a River of Tears There's something similar between you and Red Hot Chili Peppers You're both unique - and i can't find anything else to rhyme so here's the closest - Def Leppard Continue on your musical journey and people will be dying to give you a chance One day, the music you create, will put us all in a Psychedelic Trance I know that when you go You'll either take the Stairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell I heaven, you'll be Knockin' on their Door, If Hell, you'll be ringin' Hell's Bells...
