If I take a shred of 1980s time, and clutch it tight
(From when optimism shined, and felt no need for second sight);
And contain it in the formula, that I’m preparing now,
I can climb the trees in modern woods, and never break a bough.
Should I snatch a scrap of Paris, clasping firmly with my grip
(So the [...]

I’m now sworn against hypocrisy, which lets me poke and prod
All the minor faults of Christians, while I miss the love of God.
I defend my rights to swindle you, as long as I can pick
One cathedral in a hundred, where the dead have caught the quick.
So I shun the men, who promulgate and serve communion [...]

Oh my children can’t you see what you have done
When will you see the path you are on will destroy everyone
Have you closed your eyes to all around you
Do you not see that we will loose not only the past and present but the future too
The earth cries out to me with all the suffering [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on July 19, 2009
I feel the the dew
from the fresh cut
grass beneath my
bare feet. The
sweet, alluring scent
of the blossoming
trees catches my
attention as the warm,
peaceful breeze wraps
me in comfort. I
find myself wondering
in a bed of flowers and
just in the middle stands
a delicate, red rose.
The divine beauty stands
as if it is about to speak
for itself. I awaken to
a beautiful spring [...]

June 4, 2006.
The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation. He scanned the hundred faces coming out of the airport for his son. After about forty-five minutes, Arun kumar walked out, waving his hands [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

Like Orpheus, I was longing to turn
To see if you were still there
But should you see me,
Everything would disappear
Unaware of messengers watching
One glance from you exploded the seal
On my ordinary existance. Crowded bazaars
Became our private meeting places.
Duties became intrusions and we became defiant,
As heroes were to gods -
Still children. forgetfully holding each other
Through the midnights: [...]

I sought you, my first love, forgetting everything
Around me, fluttering like a wild butterfly,
All over places and time, in and out;
I liquefy myself into you, through the spell
Of your honeyed seductive smiles,

A- bomb absent to God
present star’s floating light.
Back-cross wears nothing
naked to silence.
Cemeteries count the dead.
Ready for civilization.
Clamshells for bullets.
Masks made from cedar dome.
Draft- horse mermaids polishing
shoes, silver in their eyes.
Velcro imagination.
Exposed butterflies.
Rainbows echo.
Countless earth bares
free life.
Frantic life.
Bloom referring to
beauty.
Judging colors.
Reformation from birth.
Recollect intermission.
Follow inner dreams.
Ravish shade.
Straddle the night’s stone.
Blind motionless sun.
Glazier angels glued.
Glossily disfigured shadows.
Red-leaf [...]
