“No man is an island”
A wise maxim asserts
In this ocean of earthly ties
I’m an archipelago of many isles
On isle of friendships
Confidants know me well
Supportive, . . .

I enter the land of words often,
Eager to pluck the ripest,
Driven by urge to fashion verse,
Attempting a vivid message.
Michelangelo chiselled his "Boy David",
From a piece of misshapen rock, . . .

Celibate pens make good narrators
For Houdini thoughts submerged in ink
Freed of all trappings again . . .

Church bells pealed ecstatic
Over the city’s din
“Allah ho Akbar,” minarets crooned
Loftily skyward
Temples echoed euphoric chants
Ingratiating deity
The ambient harmony superceding . . .

Where in my soul is the source?
Where does this verse arise?
Where within is that glossary?
Expounding strings of words?
A thought congeals and in a flash
A sequence of ordered lines
Align in subtle . . .

A pirouetting fist of vaporous mist,
transformed to an ominous cloud.
Lightning persistently tore it to,
millions of coalesced drops.
A pearl grey curtain hung unfurled
between the earth and sky.

Someday I'll write, nonchalant,
Songs for posterity,
With indelible inks soaking the quill,
Precursor of destiny.
Legends with gold of sunbeams,
Verse fringed with dazzling light,
Intensely brilliant . . .

That cunning vegetarian fox of yore,
Was a maniac severely deranged!
A carnivore desiring grapes sounds like,
Granddaddy of a yarn!
Highly unlikely and far fetched,
The sly creature could've known, . . .

At footstools of the guiding Muse,
We learnt to articulate,
This is no co-incidence,
A shared destiny of weaving words.
With inflamed imaginations, active minds,
Ere ether in our shapes . . .

I’ve walked along lifes’ zigzag path
In quest of its pinnacle
Wondering all along till I realized
Zigzag paths break force of the hill.
A road straight up would’ve proved steep

What would I do without a pen?
This aide, extremely fluent
Verbose or silent at my bidding
Custodian of thoughts at wing.
Were this pen taken from me
Confined notions would wither . . .

Would I walk Via Dolorosa unshod feet?
Pebbles bruise my tender soles,
Wear crown of thorns in willing humility,
While minor wounds, for attention howl?
Glamorous idols adorn study walls,
Curvaceous . . .

Suspended motion is not the final drill
Though death insists on lying still
The roll call confirms a conundrum
Virtual presence in absenteeism
Consciousness evacuated shell interred
Under excavated . . .

Bouquets relegated to die,
A garden's genocide premeditated,
Freshness plagiarised!
What do flowers feel in their hearts?
When man's footsteps in . . .
