Invocation


I owe you a multiple times for being the Wild flower
amidst the potted plants.
You seem to listen to the endless entities of night,
You seem to walk away from the ballet of wind.
Your magic is irreversible
And contagious.
Separated from the sun of the day, you are fond of the moon of the night.
Your footsteps seem to be the artwork of an amateur artist,
Yearning for applause.
Heartbreaks seem to be the rhythm of your heart,
Forming a walkable distance from death.
Your enchanting pupils seem to be ready to trap a
Whole lot of invisible things,
Beyond human perception.
Today you sing the songs of yesterday,
And tomorrow,the songs of today.
The lavenders of your garden are brighter than mine,
For the sun seems to be sleeping over your garden for a whole season.
I owe you for being the muse of
Desperate artists,
Kindling the fire in them,
Not leaving them behind to wither
And to be drained of all vitality.
I beg you,
Break my bones,
Hold my hands,
Take me to your hamlet,
Starve my ego,
Feed my soul,
Bring out my light,
Be my knight.
My swords are broken and rusted,
Before the last flames of my fires are being put out,
Save my soul,
Come and set new fires in my abandoned chambers
Let me resurrect, my muse.

SHE

She was a girl of little importance.. She was not a damsel or a princess. But there was fire in her eyes. The fire of determination. Fire of dreams to be fullfilled. She never saw it ,but others did. But others never understood it ,but she did. She always dreamt of her future prince. Her shining eyes and glossy lips always waited for the arrival of her prince. One day. She met her prince,the charming one who came on white horse, she believed destiny made them meet, And she prayed let the same destiny unite them!! Days passed. Everyday she saw him. But she was afraid to come out of her shell. Another day. As she walked, he came. He walked towards her. she paused. As he reached closer her heart wrenched from its seat. And now there is no distance  between them. He smiled and reached for her lips. she closed her eyes. They kissed. It was deep. He looked at her. She tried to be normal.. But there was nothing normal around her .

THE DREAMCATCHER ( A Poem)

She tried. And made the hoops from willows to wove those magical webs. Wrapped the hoop with suede lacing. The string was woven onto the hoop. Hours passed. She wove some of her favourite decorations to it. Feathers and gemstones, hidden with meanings. Hours passed. But she wanted it  to be perfect. And finally, here it is. THE DREAMCATCHER. She hung it on  her bedroom wall and watched it carefully. Rubbed it with an artist's pride. The hoop smiled, ensuring the travel of sun through the mighty sky. She thought that when night comes  the hole in the center would only let Bawedjige( good dreams)pass. She would be able to sleep safe and sound today. The nightmares will never ever haunt her. For she has her Dreamcatcher. And Bawedjigewin( bad dreams) will be trapped in the web, to be dispelled at the first light of morning. She slept. The sun rays pierced into her eyes. She opened her eyes with the innocence of a newborn babe. The thought stroke her. She

The Grendels

Horror is lurking behind every moment of darkness, Seeming to be human, we cannot distinguish you from Grendel. We see no Beowulfs coming to rip off your arms that aid you well. When every closed door warns us, Every stare seems to map our bodies, Every vehicle appears to follow us, Every touch seems to warn us, You, cultured and well behaved, You are the light of the day, You are the Lord of the people, Who metamorphose into damned dangers  At the end of the day. Your venomous fangs go in search of  Prey, You wait in the darkness with twinkling eyes, Admiring the power of your hands, That can open up hearts, And show the uncultured your worth.  After every hunting, the sycophants who surround you, Kiss your hands and touch your feet. They wash your dirt and make your bed. They cure your sickness by gifting you scepters. Making you invisible, they uproot every Beowulfs to ensure your reign. Thus you flourish, never to die but to hunt and haunt. And behind your house, we see a pile of d
