Acne

Drifting elsewhere, free from core,

agitated to find the shore,

I wail in fury clasping oar,

shutting eyes and bawling more.


The birth of history sprouts with it.

little fingers fill out knit,

tiny claws buds adagio lit,

and framework extends wide and bright.


It dates too soon as mane loose tone,

staring straight at rhymes he has sewn,

on the life, he saw and foresee clone-

for the lives to be born.


for the acne worn and agony faced,

for the joy that passed and coy since aged,

he lives in marked for the acnes:

Acnes of life that turned him right.



*1 core - (in context)mother's womb  *2 agitated - feeling/appealing troubled or nervous  *3 shore - a piece of land
*4 clasp- grasp tightly with one hand   
*5 wail - prolonged high pitched cry  *6 oar - a pole with a flat blade.  *7 bawl - .shout/call out noisily
*8 sprout - put out shoots/grow  *9 adagio - slowly  *10 mane - long hair
*11 sewn - joins or knit or sew  *12 clone - xerox.  *13 coy - shy/secrets/something to hide
*14 worn - destroyed due to over-usage.

#1 Drifting elsewhere, free from core - A child born is transferred from the mother's womb to the earthly atmospheric conditions.
#2 The birth of history sprouts with it - Time and tide wait for no man. Therefore from the time a child is born, his/her history starts then.
#3 It dates too soon as mane loose tone - Time seems to rush very fast. Therefore he grows old while he's still thinking about life.
#4staring straight at rhymes he has sewn - He'd be looking at life at his perspective from the experiences he gained in life. Here 'rhymes' is used to represent his/her tales made in his/her life
#5 he lives in marked for the acnes - There'd be a mark in his body or mind for all the incidents he faced in life.
#6 Stanza 1 -Emotions of a child born.
#7 Stanza 2 -Description of how a child grows.
#8 Stanza 3 -  This child will make his past and history according to the experiences he/she faced. He thinks that's all life is about. He tries to see the same (clone) for his children too. This shows the narrow mind of humanbeing. However wide he/she thinks his/her mind is, life is much beyond this material existence which itself is beyond our thoughts.
#9 Stanza 4 -  All his life incidents leave a mark in either his body or mind like acne.

 

Theme:  Narrowness of our thoughts | Each experiance has a mark it leaves on use.
Significance of Title: In the poem, 'acne' signifies the incidents a person faced in the course of life.
In brief: Everythings happen for a reason, which could be or certainly is beyond our thoughts.

Ceaseless

Pedaling bicycle, Sewing her fabric, Building her grain of rice, There lived a floret. Smiling at hardships, Keeping her chattel, Riding she delivers her goods, Like a daughter. Prompting with good hope, Reminding 'keep smiling', She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game. *1   chattel - belongings   *2  chorus - repeated work.    "She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game." means:   someone here refers to the ultimate god or creator. Not to be confused with gender dominance and subjugation.  Theme :  Someone in their chorus. Significance of Title:   The author is not aware of the existence of this person in the picture but aware of her chores.    In brief : There lived a daughter doing her chorus and reflecting other's happiness.                                                 ...

The Giant Wheel

 As the dusk befalls the falling sun, far beneath the gibbous glow, sat a lad upon the winding stairs, chasing glimpses of waning moon. Amid a muse of dreams in concord gently spun, he played the role enduring glow, watching it rise beyond the upper airs, unwitting, the seer glides below the climbing moon. unaware a ceaseless ride borne, the boy so tight in sweeping flow, silent and still drifting nether airs, through quiet realms where shadows swoon. *1  dusk - the darker stage of twilight   *2  gibbous -  (of the moon) having the illuminated part greater than a semicircle but less than a full circle.    *3  waning - (of the moon) having a progressively smaller part of visible surface illuminated so that it appears to decrease in size.      *4  muse -  cluster of encouragement and inspiration     *5  concord  - in discipline    *6   enduring glow  - hav...

The Tempo

Peeping frowning creeping lived a guy, on the shores of an ancient land. Lonely angry cheery he stayed in sly, with fingers crossed for a brand.   pale and dark but undyed, sullen grim with a smile, lusty bright in vain, ravening wild with mercy. Ardour gives him life; Thirst keeps him steady; famine leaves him agony; Hope drives him forward; Forage revises his ardor, Thirst alters his lifestyle, Exploring whole life, Imploding from inside. post a dozen ages, his legacy looks at him with a smile; Staring at the giant, from a bygone Latin bind in dust and gray. Sneaky little time, makes the tousle seen, with ages to go, and countless to realize. * 1  frowning - an expression of disapproval   * 2  sullen - bad-tempered and sulky   * 3  grim - very serious and gloomy *4  vain- having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities or wealth    *5  ravening - extremely hungry or hunting for prey ...
