"vishnu" poems
Oh motherland, at your feet may all moments of my life lie sacrificed This strength of my youth, these breaths, All are surrendered to you To protect your honour I would forego hundred lifetimes I would either embrace death or vanquish your enemies Touching your feet in reverence I take this solemn oath until the end of my life I would be loyal to you Those who have died in your lap their spirits bask in eternal happiness *Oh motherland, at your feet may all moments of my life lie sacrificed* My mother tells me I will go on without you bearing the pain of your passing by turning my heart into stone However, if in your lifetime there is a threat to this country and being fearless you do not fight this threat, my son, then, I will think, I birthed poison instead of life or that my nourishment did not give enough strength Listening to these words my head lies forever bowed *Oh motherland, at your feet may all moments of my life lie sacrificed* It is not only said by my mother but all mothers of this country to give birth to a Narsimh they bear difficult pangs of labour Those brave warriors who wrote history with their life blood carry their images in your heart and placing your hand there, promise, you will forsake everything else at the call of your motherland Your body, soul and life surrendered to your country *Oh motherland, at your feet may all moments of my life lie sacrificed* Narsimh - an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu,often visualised as having a human torso and lower body, with a lion face and claws. He is known primarily as the 'Great Protector' who specifically defends and protects his devotees in times of need. Translation is given by karishma ji

A song comes out of the speeding bhogis, Seeta is the one rendering the song. She chants that her husband has long been dead. Seeta has two sons, just like her ballads. One – Gives rhythm to her song. Other – Rubs a gentleman out of his siesta And asks for a little money. The bhogis gain momentum (Ignores the station master who shows red to stop the pacing male phallus) Long away – A girl lies down, lower than the rails. **** me, **** me, she bangs her head. I will, I will, the rails swell the train song in her ears. Though long away, Though have not heard the girl, As if she has heard something - Seeta stops singing. And her children dash out. Two hobos enter in – As if to sell sizzling peanuts. Just as to give the body a bath – Seemingly not pleased just with the rails – The male train jumps off, Into the wide sea. (Whose ****** is the sea, the breeze hums a song) A thousand crows flutters from – One’s previous birth, To – Another’s next birth. Seeta, having forgotten all her songs – Looks out for her kids. Will arrive shortly, will arrive shortly : Weary, irked and bored - Time waits at a station. (I did remember Rupesh Paul, who drew a simile between the rails and the *** worker’s nights, Anitha Thampi, who wrote about female trains, Latheesh Mohan, who noted down how the train stretches its back, Vishnu Prasad and his poem on the phallus, Prasanna Aryans usage: **** says the wheel and shit-shit , says the rail et al , while writing this poem) (Translated by Sherin Catherine)

The Train: A Huge ***** (The rail, then?)
A song comes out of the speeding bhogis, Seeta is the one rendering the song. She chants that her husband has long been dead. Seeta has two sons, just like her ballads.

The bhogis gain momentum (Ignores the station master who shows red to stop the pacing male phallus) Long away – A girl lies down, lower than the rails. **** me, **** me, she bangs her head.

a lake of blood is promised homes fill with fiber optic prophecy. "put away your lenses children and sleep under the lamp's shade." our purple rice growing Vishnu mumbles and stirs in his sleep. by the crystal pond, a poison frog sings. decorating the sand and reeds are skeletons of the old wars. nearly dust now. unable to make decisions for the weak or young, the strong or the old. four seasons yet to pass attention given to the wolf's lonesome cry. place your head in sand, witness the scorpion. she is emperor and admonisher. the tiger breathes in and breathes out its final breath. lay your belly upon wheat and remove hunger. an angel's velvet wing cools the fever, the old sickness of Old Salem. onions, apples & lemons are sprouting. there, just underneath the horseman's hood. quickly, look.

It is said in Mahabharata that Krishna, Who was an incarnation of Vishnu, Was the Charioteer of Arjun, The most expert archer. And Arjun was among the Pandavas, Pandavas're the legendary winners, Of the epic Mahabharata War, That killed uncountable men. We observe several such incarnations, In the Kalyuga's modern era as well, Guiding those who seek guidance, Showing path to those who need. I was before joining Hello Poetry, So lost - so confused - so troubled, My thoughts so jammed my brain, But now I find myself calm - so cool. Here on Hello Poetry, We have our own Charioteer, Guiding our own poetry Chariot, He is an expert, his name is York, Eliot.

Indian Legends. The Legend of Triambakeshwar The supreme Lords, Brahma and Vishnu On that auspicious day were fighting for the highest milestone For honour Claiming Wisdom Voicing out their mighty combat impale At that very moment, a resplendant pillar Emerged, took form before them Standing tall into the skies and stooping low spearing the Earth. Brahma and Vishnu saw the pillar As an examiner of infinite Wisdom They both decided to find either end of the pillar to prove their supreme position. Brahma took form of a swan to find the topmost portion of the pillar Vishnu turns into a Boar, being the land's wild driller to discover the bottom part of this pillar. Brahma returns and lies to Vishnu "I Have Found My Goal, 'O Vishnu" Lord Vishnu surrenders with a humble heart A fruitless effortless failure. This pillar is no ordinary pillar The Legend holds it as the sacred Linga The Lord of Lords, the destroyer of Evil The three-eyed one, the blue-throated one Neelakanta,Shiva,Mrida,Rudra Dayakara,Hara,Maheshwara The Lord with 1008 titles of honour Ageless, timeless, formless, Limitless. Shiva cursed Brahma that day dusk **"Your foul deceit smells above this land, Brahmadev Punishment is a part of crime. You shall never be worshipped under the stone-carved. Temples shan't have place for you"** Brahma, enraged, growled upon the Lord **"Your greatness shall be pushed into this Earth Into the same pillar, the Linga! At the foot of Sahyradri, your abode lies from now, till forever comes."** Dear Fearless Devotee, know this that you must On the dark midnight of this hand-chosen day Maha Shivratri The Holy Linga takes form as the Lingodbhav Moorti At the blessed land of Triambakeshwara. From underneath the Earth, Like a descendant from the skies The ruler of the seven worlds Bhu, Bhuvas, Svar, Mahas, Janas, Tapas, Satya The invincible source of destruction Of the Seven Hells, Paatala *Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasaataala, Talatala, Mahaatala, The Patala.*

warped, weird, whirling, wonder-filled, a garland of words eulogized by occidental cosmologists today to deify the milky way for five millennia, in clandestine chambers of the temple of the lord with a lotus navel, oriental sages, finely tuned into ultimate mantras of the cosmos, initiated ‘twice born’ namboodris of kerala into a mellifluous sanskrit verse.... a potent heart melting hymn where our star-studded galaxy, milky in complexion, is seen as a spinning jagged-edged discus, worn as an ornamental ring around vishnu’s slender index finger, from whose whirling lotus navel originate the birth of inseparable twins: warped space intertwined with flowing time now this is a garland of exquisite beauty! © 2019

“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” ― J. Robert Oppenheimer Father of the atomic bomb

I am a thousand hooded Cobra The king of all poisonous snakes I can dance beautifully And I live in India from times immemorial I am totally different from Other cobras in the world Though my bite is venomous People continue to worship me Because I have got The religious sanctity I adorn Lord Shiva’s neck And I am the couch for Lord Vishnu Many people try to squeeze My poison out of my teeth And some rationalists tried to **** me But they can not **** my race I will grow at enormous pace I will continue to **** the people But they will continue to worship me The politicians continue to pamper me

Bala chan dran! My name harsh, Germanic, Like the Black Forest, Where my ancestors dwelled, Until a harsher people drove them away. Balachandran! Under the ground beneath the temple Padmanabha Swamy, A temple dedicated to Vishnu, In the state of Kerala, the original spice country. South Western sea board of India, where miracles never cease to happen, A billion dollar treasure discovered. A treasure of words and sounds, A language musical, every word a poem Of incroyable elegance. I am so glad that you were not born in France. Perhaps someday I will courage summon, To spicy lands, explore, and even come to Thiruvananthapuram. For now, I must be satisfied with the Poetical musicale program I attend, When I say over and over again, Balachandran from Thiruvananthapuram! Dedicated to K Balachandran

I fell short of matching all of the stars in space with the raindrops that made its way to Earth Instead, I matched the stars in your eyes with the old pain's last breath and otherworldly love's first The clouds have opened back up for business, booming thunder and zooming lightning Somewhere there, the flash of your smile The beat of your heart The coolness of your waters that quench my thirst for you It's natural to look at nature au naturale Like Italians and Nigerians talking with hands as expressive as Deaf lovers relay romantic verses Clear, nimble fingers that massage my soul within the cumulonimbus and nimbostratus Fueling, flooding, fostering the gods' apparatus You The final form of unfinished paintings Give birth to worthwhile wishful thinking On my mind like taxes and teacher's lesson plans A soft brush adjusting to the sky's new hues kissed like ones we've missed or knew A masterpiece in pieces of Vishnu's vision for when he returns to look for Lakshmi Hopefully time will not be Shiva to end this for me How does it feel to be adored by Indra, when showers descend and drench the deepest ditches to force creation of drawbridges for those dire to cross your path again? - Ifeanyi N.

Scribblings With LOVE
The Chosen One of the Gods The gods have spoken, the stars align, A chosen one shall rise in time. With strength and will, with heart so true, He walks the path the heavens drew. Yahweh grants his guiding light, A shield of faith, a soul so bright. Through storms and trials, fierce and long, He stands unshaken, bold and strong. Shiva roars, the flames arise, His wisdom burns within his eyes. With cosmic dance and fearless might, He bends the dark, he tames the night. Brahma whispers, fate takes form, Creation’s breath, the world reborn. With sacred hands and endless lore, He builds the realm forevermore. Zeus sends thunder, Odin calls, Anubis guards where shadows fall. Vishnu watches, balance true, Ra brings dawn in golden hue. All the gods, both old and new, Have blessed his path, have forged him through. No chains can bind, no foe withstand, For fate is written by divine hand. He walks with fire, he walks with grace, A destined king, time can’t erase. For gods have willed, and stars have shown, That he shall rise—his name well known.

The Chosen One of the Gods
Forget the school children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Or the 1,000,000 dead in Vietnam; 60,000 dead in Iraq; 30,000 and rising in Afghanistan. How many by our proxies in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Chile? Forget the millions dead in nameless civil wars or of preventable poverty and disease in various hell-holes around the globe. The rest of the world may be sorry, but not shocked: they have come to know the smiling murderers we have become. 20 dead of madness in Connecticut and the US wallows in drivel, kitsch, hollow words, self-pity, and media frenzy. A little arrogance here? Oh, we love our kids, (just no one else's), so let's put black ribbons on our cars and call that enough. Again, the culture of selfishness, greed, shallowness and patriotic stupidity rears its predictable head. No country that murders the world's children with a shrug should be surprised when that violence turns inward. "I am Vishnu Destroyer of worlds My name is Death" You can't have it both ways. "We must love one another or die."    mce

The Newton Massacre And Karmic Payback
your cell phone vibrates like a pixie on a train. smooth as a glass baby's loose Blue Tooth in Vaseline you were miles away from my empty pail of rain a watermark on the moon, maybe you knew every thing ? maybe you do, maybe i'm drinking my lunch. you amuse the air i breathe through my skin like a pearl soothes an oyster in a bed of nails and spring. your ******* are amazing. you are vishnu at harrods. an airy gorgeous. a gourd of palpable kiss. you are the meaning of senseless joy and the engines of yes.

VISHNU AT HARROD'S
Balachandran How I love to say your name, Rolling waves over my tongue, It is must be said out loud Two or three times to feel its rhythm, Two or three more just for the Spiced pleasure it conveys. Bala chan dran! My name harsh, Germanic, Like the Black Forest, Where my ancestors dwelled, Until a harsher people drove them away. Balachandran! Under the ground beneath the temple Padmanabha Swamy, A temple dedicated to Vishnu, In the state of Kerala, the original spice country. South Western sea board of India, where miracles never cease to happen, A billion dollar treasure discovered. A treasure of words and sounds, A language musical, every word a poem Of incroyable elegance. I am so glad that you were not born in France. Perhaps someday I will courage summon, To spicy lands, explore, and even come to Thiruvananthapuram. For now, I must be satisfied with the Poetical musicale program I attend, When I say over and over again, Balachandran from Thiruvananthapuram!

Balachandran
Kailasa mountain peaks composed completely of clouds hover mystically across the mauve purple horizon I stare dreamily out the car window this celestial impression arouses a sacred memory that has haunted my consciousness since I first alighted 12,000 feet above sea level onto the blessed Himalayan mountain range I don’t think there is any place like this on earth glaciers hang like huge crystal malas around majestic white bluffs the air ripples, tingles tangibly with spirits of Sages, Saints and other sublime beings ethereal cathedral bells ring brightly in the crisp altitude The road climbing from Badrinath to Vishnu’s auspicious Footprint continues ascending to the very threshold of Heaven everything is just so luminous even the breath filling our lungs shimmers As I travel back in time to that holy place I know a part of me still sits in padmasana aloft those Godly hills through the melting snows spring rains and summer monsoons lost in supreme bliss

Vishnu's Lotus Feet
you know the avatar of vishnu sitting pretty, pretty calm, he sat there, lost his hair, became a bald & fat idol in china miles away from nepal... became an idol with that famous waving cat (maneki-neko): ola ola... hello to you too. so the avatar of vishnu is sitting peacfully pretty, but this avatar of shiva ain't... he's on a windowsill... head-banging while the supposed meditation takes place... he's on to it, the next vogue of mindfulness and feminism... he's like: **** it... let the zeppelins in, london on the fork fried, give us bacon and other assumptions of king above all beasts. but at the bus stop i met four would-be ballerinas, four lolitas nonetheless, aiming for a party, went into the shop were asked for i.d., but the look of them no more than 15... smoked my cigarette in the umbrella of the bus shelter... true to feminism got ***** 'can you buy me some vodka?' i don't care about your lies, you don't have to lie to me, 'but honest, i have a picture, i'm over the age of consent! look!' my moral compass is missing on this matter, plus you're so petite one of your musketeers gave you away, flesh that never grew to the bone... 'but please! we're going to a party! we can't go empty handed!' o.k. took the 10 quid note and went in, they wanted a medium sized bottle, under 10 quid of ***** and 4 women? no chance. put the note in my wallet and bought them a 70cl bottle of ***** 3 quid extra so they could, just, shut, up. apparently there was no party when i handed them the confidant compliment of uncle... you know that bit where nietzshce criticised socrates for engaging in dialectics to create a rude society? i think not engaging with dialectics creates rude societies... where children are above and most opinionated... and the elderly are below and exposed to sadism: as england row row rows the boat for an iceberg to thus sink. yes, the four of them, happy enough to be believed to have discovered the ******** and happy enough to have almost lost it.

There’s a corner of my basement I can see it from the couch It’s a doorway of light Opening to a stairwell A light is on near my bed It’s small A phone perhaps I have headphones on So It’s hard to sleep comfortably I like to nestle my head into the crook of my arm I stare at a worn down drop-ceiling Those two lights are on either side of my vision I keep waiting I keep rolling into the cracks I’ve had to adjust the cushions far too many times A smile A warmth My eyes I don’t want to swallow The jar is closed Pandora’s box of light opened while I streamed blues on Pandora And I see the lights go static They bend into each other in the dark I wave my fingers in front of my face I’ve probably killed a few brain cells here Definitely. Sorry Mom I was bored and rubber cement is only 3.97 I’m drunk on a cleanse from oxygen I’m sure my nostrils will thank me later My brain could use an adhesive Flexibility would bond loose ends And repair the divisiveness I have my hands in everything And I can’t remember the last time I stepped in dog **** But a hand in phylogeny is a backhand to Baptists A hand in salvation is a slap in the face to the Darwinists I love everyday I have a toast! To the moment the rapture brings about our extinction my friends! At least everyone thinks I’m stupid. Right in the middle of the room is the right place to be A bullseye for stone chuckers and monkey ******* A hand out for the druggies And a jab at the churches who aren’t doing anything A round of applause for cruel irony And a finger turned up in a creative way to everyone who’s laughing at the episode Vishnu would have a hay day And I could use the extra hands. Jesus’s are tied- I mean nailed up at the moment But when miracles don’t happen anymore Go read first Samuel, and you’ll see all this **** went down before And there’s another cycle History repeats itself In through the nose and out through your mouth Just keep a nostril over the jar And don’t die
