"substantiating" poems
18th August
-Before the autumn arrives
Fourteen more sunsets to witness
Fourteen more endings to caress
I'll watch sturgeon for the last time
Gonna get 'ma-aslama' from August very soon
'Fall' will be evoked for what the September strives
Gonna have an eye-catch since it's a 'corn moon'
Summer will kiss you for the last time
Before the Autumn arrives!
Have to suffer a few more starks
Season leaving autumnal marks
My cozy lights ambering my darks...
Final Equinox in the doorway is driving
These elm splinters are substantiating
That the autumn is arriving!!
My darkened panes
reminiscing autumn rains
Rains on the crisp dead leaves
Triggering seasonal pains
'Ash' will perform his last ballet
Before he dives;
'Walnuts' will play their nonchalant rhythms
Before he arrives!!!
Leaves and the branches parting ways
Trees bearing insane death
Four are over already in these verses
Now the days are ten left! ~vairagya

Satisfaction lingers
The inherent bliss that warms
The buried fears that flounder,
The abolishment of qualms
The radiant glow materialises
Substantiating to a path
Hop onto the luminescence
Guiding you to your guard
I am a container
A crystalline beaker fills me to the brim
With affection in a golden hue
The amber nectar seeping in abundance
As a tap leeches my soul, my mere essence sways
As I bleed and stand on crystal shards
An empty vessel yields no spirit
From the empty barrel that remains
For a heart devoid of soul would not
Display nor muster
I am the light that dissipates
Yet the darkness brought me back
It does not leave me alone
Why does it clamp itself to my back
Get it off
Get it off me
GET. IT. OFF. ME!
It does not leave me alone
It does not leave me alone
It does not leave me alone
It does not leave me alone
It
does
not
leave
It doesn't...

poetry is not a poison
but a burning desire
that courses through the
veins of the human spirit
meeting the soul on its own plane
transcending restraint
and substantiating emotion
in a tangible and connective way
it teases the thoughts, catches the breath
and breaks through all barriers between
feelings, actions, thoughts, speech and being
it is a spirit; a reality
a deep-seated truth that speaks the unspeakable
expresses the unexpressable
and brings to light that which was once shrouded in darkness
poetry is a boundless freeing...
a freeing of yourself

Old warriors have a lifetime
wins and losses
Scars substantiating each.....
We have lived long enough
to know
when to fight
and when to walk away...
