The Origin of the Flame

caroleknits.knitblog.com/candle_flame.jpg

The candle like a nun
Weeping tungsten tears
Hot blood flame tears
Of eyes gouged out by spears
Sometimes she talks of comets
Sometimes Shakespeare
Something to my embryonic
Head of a mind
Does not seem clear
Quetzalcoatl will return
To his Empire..
Those who don’t believe sneer
Howlin ( ayn )she will not fear
Kings English at the First Strike
As my time to burn on her poetic pyre
Draws near
What’s the catch? I said
When she first as a message
In my deflated inbox did appear
Lisbeth of Lambeth
Beyond my minds
Barbed wired frontier
Is it the candle?
Or is it the flame
That leaving waxen woes
On the table spread
Will soon disappear

The origin of the flame
Paying for the sins of Man
A thought austere …
Reflected sorrow
enchained to a tear

A Shia Child and His Heritage

he has cut his forehead
an oath fulfilled in blood
that he shed..
he wears black
his moment of grief
the color red
droplets like a little
stream
flowing from his head

in his mothers womb
crypted embedded spread
his faith in ahle bayth alive
tied like an umbilical cord
to karbala with a silken thread
in memory of an Imam
they the followers of a Yazidi Islam
did behead
no ordinary human head
head of the beloved grandson
of the Holy Prophet instead
shiasm not just a sect in Islam
but Truth that could not be strangulated
a thought widespread of a purebred
a sciptured Inheritance of Qum Al Ghadeer
Man Kunto Maulah
they knew but never said
to the ignorant illiterate unread
with money lies
the entire ummah they misled
now on a path of yazidiyat
like their forefathers they tread
sabotaging brotherhood and peace
with some more bloodshed

When beggars die, there are no comets seen;

CALPURNIA
When beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
CAESAR
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Julius Caesar Act II scene ii



a beggar
poetically crippled
a bit shy
your tremendous knowledge
within which like an
egg i fry
to catch up
with you
thank god google
i try
i saw a comet
i did not die
before the cock crows
three times
the messiah
i too will deny
words can make poems
but can poems
make me see
the nebulous
eagle like
pillars of creation
that i deny
hidden within
her oyster eye
a comet that
death defy

to another generation
genetically conferred
when in trouble
it was those scriptures
that we reffered

In The Dungeons Of Your Desire

In The Dungeons of your Desire

I intend to stay.

Come what may..

Working my balls of

Without rest or pay..

I hope you slept

woke up to a good day..

shall we start all over again

Cyberpettinng

Cyberclawing

some foreplay

Rigidity of a Romance

Of a burning coal

That wont die or

fade away

In the Dungeons of your Desire

I intend to stay

testicular tragedy

molten lava

dripping on my


feet made of clay


these are old poems reminding me of poetic naievete ..trying to bloom like a sty in her eye.. a testicular fortitude that became a testicular tragedy.

shelterless man
without a shade

of a womb of a world

man loves killing man
a crime

In The Shade of the Lord

one day
we have to go
a thought we forget
our mind we defraud
building a babel
of false hopes
just like nimrod

but yet
those whom we love
when they go
we curse our fate
blame god
for cheating us
treating us rough shod
the soul of the departed
a new journey unawed
we too that path will trod

India is for Indians not for Taslima Nasreen

Times of India march 13 2007
Taslima blames Bengal for delay in citizenship.

Bangladeshi writerTaslima Nasreen on Monday blamed the West Bengal
Governmentof ‘coming in the way of the Centre granting her citizenship status’


Its time we say good bye to bad rubbish
To begin
Send her back from where she came
Let nothing come in between
Let her burn the Hijab in Bangladesh
A thought that the ideals of
Muslim woman hood demean
Sensationalizing hate
A woman who a Muslim has never been
Yes I mean Taslima Nasreen
She does not have the qualities
To live or settle among us Indians
It’s not at all in her gene
Her corrupted mind
To inflame hurt
Religious sentiments
With more such rants
Obscene..
Her overstaying our
Hospitality
Is bad for our secular hygiene.
Once you are infected
Of what use is an untimely vaccine

Quetzalcoatl shall return

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl

life we lead
leaderless we burn
good thing in life
seem rotten we spurn
imagery of uneeded wants
we churn
leaving so much undone

"You have graciously come on earth, you have graciously approached your water, your high place of Mexico, you have come down to your mat, your throne, which I have briefly kept for you, I who used to keep it for you,"

and,

"You have graciously arrived, you have known pain, you have known weariness, now come on earth, take your rest, enter into your palace, rest your limbs; may our lords come on earth."

an american lady
hidden among indian ancient thoughts tells
me firoze ..hold your breath
Quetzacoatl will return..
you me she will be one
read unlearn

You proved that here in this dusty archive. Where scholars meet students, where students meet what passes for reality...on a good day.

Arjuna turned to Krishna, both on the battlefield, and, perplexed, asked Krishna a question, 'My uncle is my opponent this day. Why must I attempt to kill my own blood? ' Krishna replied, 'You are a soldier. You must fulfill your destiny. Killing your uncle is not the bad thing. The bad thing is not fullfilling what you were meant to do.'

Strange things for a Westener to read. Understanding this is easy for me.

Gitas. Ancient.

Eternal ...
Pasted poetry under a burning sun
I too think Quetzacoatl shall return

Indian Idol Ki Awaz

Kya Dilli main hai wo awaz
jis par ho desh ko naaz?

Dilli hai ek aisi nagri
jis par nirbhar hai
hum sab ki awaz
koie bewakoof
koie mukkadar ka sikandar
koie akalmand
aur sare tirnandaz
babugiri rahe salamat
unpar chalta hai desh
ka karobar
Indian Idol
Hamare neta
Suno bhai unki awaz
Mithi surili baton se
Kiya hai desh ka satyanas
Jkute kasme wade
Ham ko kar diya barbad
Bhaison ki tarah
Hame charakar
Khud khai dher sari mithai
Humko khilaee sukhi ghas
Hawai jahaz main
Human trafficking
ka naya ithihas
India Shining Ka
Wah Kya Abhyas
Adhi umar beet gayee
Prime minister
Banne ka phir bhi khab
Nare bazi gharibi bhagao
Desh ko mitao
Yeh hamare desh ke sutradhar
hindu muslim
ko jhagda karakar
karte hain desh ka batwar
jhagde phasad
encounter killing
aur kitne sare bhrastachar

Indian Idol
Yehi kahlayenge
Sare desh main
Goojti hai
Dilli se inki awaz

Indian Parakeet Flown the Coop

yes the indian parakeet
blindfolded unloved
a cybernetic dupe
has flown the coop
fresh pastures
poem producing lands
to recoup
before he ended up
on a blog goddess
dining table
shot feathered
barbecued as
parrot soup
to be served
as an appetizer
for a motley group
his innards
and what remains
of his wisdom
swoop
she and her friends
after dinner
samba
some hula hoop.

Innocence takes a Rap

This is an old deleted memory I saved .


This is my 400 th poem at poem hunter.com, I never ever wanted to be a poet, nor a photographer , I never wrote a single word before my advent on the internet.As a kid in school I was considered brainy as I read a lot.I could see things unseen to the human eye, pain beneath the makeup, cries and dried tears on hankies, my mother and her love for my father, my father and his demonic love for the Other Woman.

So I took a camera to decipher on the emulsion of my soul the transcient nature of Mans suffering...I shot the Kumbh Mela, Blood Moharram and Weeping Faith of the Shia, I shot the insides of church and the litany of love for the Messiah on stained window panes, I shot Sufis , pierced eyes, pierced souls and slaughtered tongues, I shot the King cobra on Naag Panchami and his fangs just a whisker away, as I believed that the Camera is Shivas third eye.
I shot street life but what really shot me down was the girl child begging at Mumbai Traffic signals, from morning to dusk, haunting eyes, perpetual smile, love that will soon vanish away, yes being a pretty girl child is a greater risk than AIDS , I have seen young girls selling paper flags on our Independence day, later I would see her hardly 12 years and carrying a child within her childhood.

This poem is my tribute to the girl child do see this picture of a smile and a burnt cheek on the face of Poverty.Her mother has put a hot iron on her cherubic cheek, gets more alms it is said.
Sympathy the Curse of Humanity.



Innocence takes a rap

a kick, a hit a slap

a burning branded mark

on the cheek

childhood in a trap.

tears for sale

traffic signal kids

rest of life is a crap.

plundered innocence,

raped mutilated,

sodomized while

time and timelessness

takes a nap.

blood marked

pre menstrual

machinations

on the map.

little dead bodies

dead hopes

buried

in burlap.



I am crying such is the nature of Man..I am a father of a Girl Child.
Old memories of my first stint at poemhunter...

winding through the alleys
of mistrust bad kismet
inshallah
an escape to a good hope

Inundated Cybernetic Love

a poet born
cause celebrated
than came love
effect animated
unthoughtfully belated
most wanted
most hated
cybernetic love
finger fucked
copulated
a poem impregnated
a drip of internet wires
burst the dams
unaggregated
of hope and survival
weeping sluice gates
of the heart
drowned desolated
what was left
all inundated
one sided
teasing love
the very start
before she wrote
the first comments
on my post
ill timed ill fated
forbiddingly abbreviated
unaccomodated
plethora of pictorially
panic stricken thoughts
poems castarated
doomed desecrated
her heart a sin drying
washing machine
a vortex
where my words
like my emotions
unwashed
untranslated
died unabated
asphyxiated
no hope of ever
being reborn
as untimely love
or being reinstated
dangerously
destroyed
decimated
feelings
emasculated
hastly cremated
my ashes on the altar
of a peace goddess
duly hypothecated


poem no 737

TO GROWLI 'N DERVISH (ayn)

father son and the unholy ghost
post compost
multi colored ass
skewered
comments grilled
barbecued at the most
served hot
with burnt out toast

last two lines in Hindi means all enemies just a few friends.
