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.

Mystic cage

Do Cages Always Bring Misfortune? Once upon a time in a remote local town there lived a man with gross freedom. He lived like a lion in a jungle motley crowd; rising from a golden bed foot resting on a gilded floor, headed from a scented sauna, living for a paltry dream. Hoi polloi claims of poverty, and a man like a sloth in indolence- bearing besom in apron, moving for his daily bread. Dream for skies kept him thirst; crave for rest, lead him inert; Greed for opulence locked him caged; Clouds of darkness got him wealth. Cage so formed in avarice, Compound as an enigma, fasten him in ignorance alas crawls him unnoticed. * 1  motley - colourful/ in the context, a crowd has many kinds of people   * 2  gilded - gold plated   * 3  scented - water with the sweet fragrance *4  sauna- shower/bath   *5  paltry - small/minor   *6  hoi polloi - common people/mob/ people nearby *7  indolence- laziness   *8  ...

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.                                                 ...
