PoHo
When I read your poems,
I fall in love with you.
Then I read his poems,
and fall in love with him too.
I admit it,
I can’t quit it.
I’m a PoHo,
like Phoebe Snow!

We Need a Poet in Life
Ujjal Mandal, India
A poet is needed
to define the life,
as the poets measure
the length of life
practically as well as
philosophically.

'Listening to Elvis, thinking it over'
I wish I knew what to say
I look for words
But they just escape me
I look for a sign, everyday
But the faith I feel, it fades away
Set the alarm, wake up and keep on going
But all the while, my tears are flowing
What about the love and joy that I felt in my heart?
Please don’t tell me we’re destined to depart?
Elvis’ dulcet tones, makes its way right ...

In memory of a great poet
Lately, while I was
Scouring the internet
A shock I felt
Up on learning
A tragic news
A google-found friend
Of mine
On the western end of
My continent
But for a while
We experienced
A disconnect
To my grief
Had turned brief.
What a depriving blow
What a depriving blow
To poetry fans
That missed
Words of wisdom
From his mind that flow.
Life, love,
Hope and salvation pack...

FIRST LOVE
I would be lying if i say I didn’t miss you
Because deep inside i know i did
You were the love of my live
But soon I realised it was best to let you go
Pain was piercing my soul with each passing day
And it was time for me to say my last goodbyes to you
It’s been two years and
Life has been good lately no pain no sorrow
But deep inside the thought of you st...

Nightly Routine
Late at night
Lying in bed
Headphones on
Listening to music
Or a few recorded poems
Reading the latest
I attempt to craft a new one
Or brush up a draft not quite finished
It’s becoming routine
I’ve always been
An undercover poet
Now I’m sharing my words
With my family’s support as an added bonus
Shared are the happenings,
The disappointments,
The contests never won,
Submissi...

...Earth And Feet...
How the knobs within certain doors fasten their hinges to my ceiling, during the hours of my own apocalypse; bursting into clouds.
Is this not standard for poetry?
Wits of a madwoman, how she writes the scores this evening.
That tattered bell in multitude and proportions, shimmering sequins from out, and beneath her dress.
Constellations within the drawers of the aorta full of notes th...

Miss Fitted - Poem
You could tell she was trying hard,
Which girl doesn't try to mould their own skin to fit in?
You could tell she was trying to impress,
But as someone who knew better, I should have told her to rest,
But she was trying to hard to make it,
She was going all the way to fake it,
And I could tell,
She wore the sheepish smile,
But I knew this act so well,
She was like me,
I am like her,
She ...

Do You Ever Also?
Do you ever feel like you're the protagonist of a book?
Where the ending is constantly being rewritten and you're just waiting for the day that it's finally gone through all the edits and gets published?
But what happens if it's a novel that has 7 parts?
You might never even get to read the last written words or get to the final chapter of what you thought was your
"perfect ending."

Embers
I want to tell you how incredibly
imaginative, creative, talented
I think you are with your poetry,
writing, music, art...
but I hesitate to expose our
eggshell-covered egos,
fuel rejection,
ignite impostor syndrome...
all live wires
that threaten to electrocute
our fragile muse
into submission
of a numbed,
comfort-zone life.
So, instead of shouting

Marie The Poet
After She Made It to the News papers life was never same again
people recognised her as a POET, it became a blooming pain
In Tesco everyone would look, in the chemist they would wink
Being a famous Poet was harder than anyone would think
She tried to solved her problem when in a red wig she would walk
doesn't she look like Marie the poet everyone would squawk
In the end she stayed in...
