“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (John 11:25).”
I took leave of Joe Dias ,and I felt a sadness a lingering pain , it was as though Jesus had carried his cross risen and ascended into Heaven leaving me behind to carry on with shouldering my cross my struggle my pain , my hardships and my continuing bad karma bad luck bad fate.
The few ensuing years have not been cheerful, and the internet has been a balm making me live in a dream world of imagined love, imagined solace all figments of my poetically virus affected mind.
A very dear friend who is sailing in the same boat like me wants me to leave my world of pain and travel with him to Bangladesh Cambodia and the Far East..but that would be running away from my responsibilities so I brushed aside his friendly suggestion preferring to fight my ghosts till the last breath.
I had completed my second year walking with Christ barefeet not to gain any spiritual cookie points it was my penance for my own miserable soul, strangely my legs are fine but I got a injury on my heel that has blossomed badly because of diabetic condition...it will heal , the flesh always heals faster than the welts on the back of the soul...
All in all I shot 1039 photos of the 14 Stations of the Cross and the Lenten Walk...on Good Friday..

two moments
in time and space
she does not
want to see his face
she who belongs
to a warrior race
he who has
nothing but
dreams to chase
her body her soul
he cant embrace
he from the waters
of the ganges
his ancestry trace
in his soul
her memory stays
her kohl laden
dewy eyes
her sensual lips
her gazelle neck
her Cleopatra nose
her divine beauty
a poets praise
from the dungeons
of darkness doom
an accidental love
she raised
Lord be praised
blindfolded
he follows her
like her slave
from the cradle
to his grave
for her husky musky
voice in silence
he waits
raves and craves
cheating
his destiny
uff i love you
on his soul
he engraves
incorrigible
unchangeable
a beggar poet
knave her
thoughts hit
hit him lash him
wave after wave

a photographer
it is pain that i shoot
the story of pain i scan
its after an elusive moment
like sir don quixote i ran
beneath the layer
of my sartorial artistry
i am a genuine gentleman
what happened on the soul
of my poetry god is my witness
i did not plan..i was doomed
destroyed enslaved
no more a free man
broken wings
broken dreams
stunted growth
of my wingspan
in love with a fabled
princess a warrior
queen of a tribal clan
the poetry passion pathos
of a revolving Sufi mad man
