POEMS by R. K. Singh
Flight of Fenix
POEM: R K Singh, India
The disorder in my inner world betrays the tensions outside:
the anger over fanaticism and loss of ideals, politics and corruption
the degeneration all-round and struggle for survival amidst lying and conniving
and these burdens, death of desires, drugs, orgies, promiscuities
the piggish chaos oozing from the system like an ancient wound;
I can't suffer the crises I haven't authored even in thought
I can't endure aches of incompletion, dark void that sounds aloud
in my sleep I can't see my innocence afflicted by mirror
eating into my soul, ingesting my own body for something
there is neither consolation nor forgiveness, but negation
I'm belittled as man, degraded constantly in fire of inner effigies
or everyone is demeaning with intimate doubts and mutual mockery?

he sells bouquets and roses
peddling dreams
R.K. Singh
| | | | | I don't know how to negotiate the long steep trail
with hidden scorpions under loose rocks
at home with human muck in a valley existence
strolling upward through a thicket of TV images
politics of glory, garbage and gods
the odd arts of money, hierarchy and control
nobody knows who unmakes whom
I don't know how to follow the ridges
back to the trail and the dead river
but stand for a moment to rub the sand from my feet
before worrying about the lost vitality and fear
of the approaching night and rising smoke
dissolving in the sky or conspiring with elements
hardly in balance but contorting the psyche
I don't know what is there for me to hope
when the rains rejuvenate and flood both
the repulsive stench and the loss of pathways
linger longer than the flavour of the first drops
under the tree the puddle feeds no sparrows
but algae that couldn't dry now trap tiny souls
that fail to swell with heaven's breath
R.K. Singh | | | | | | Dancing shades devour
waking tensions for a moment
closed eyes dissolve
years of clog
within the four walls
the flame is freed
from cloying dalliance
for a moment
it's all calm
in her presence
R.K. Singh
HAIKU by R K Singh | | Night bombing
leaves the garden
white as death
Vultures waiting
for the leftovers
of the sacrifice
Whiteness of the moon
and rocks howl with the wind--
fear in the veins
In the ruins
searching her photo:
evening
Standing behind
the window bars observes
darkness in shapes
Awaits his son's
phone call from the border:
dogs and cats wail
A dead voice
calling up at dawn:
drowsy eyes
Alone
on her bed rings
the cellphone
Unmoved by the wind
he sits on a rock wearing
peace of the lake
