The Subtle Poet



Every little cue rising from your maw,

and any tiny toot casting out the jaw,

finds their way to tale,

in the reign of tyrant time.


Words those flutter air or a phrased metaphor,

Be it bigotry or a warm melody,

like a maple leaf flying in air,

swings the way around in an endless leeway.


He ceases in the ride but hoping for the end,

not halting in the air but gliding for a reach.

Never undone and never losing hope,

It passes your drums and rushes them forward.


You cannot take back!

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.                                                 ...
