Short story slam week 31: HALLOWEEN at DISNEY WORLD


Disney World,
It looms in
Mist of Halloween,
Illumination turns mystery,
As if it is dancing in the air,
Bending body in fairy light,
People will stare at those
Imagery tomorrow’s plan.
Fantasy becomes
Consumers’ song,
It happens like ghost.
Yet dream consumes man,
Happenings consume fate,
Shadow consumes color.

Need changes definition.

DEVI DURGA

Yellow response of
Autumn, eyes of Devi Durga

Fills mind, sacred space.  

HALLOWEEN

They speak in the night
When light plays fairy glimpse
On places abandoned in garden.
All friends wear pale costumes
Ghostly eyes in the skyline mist
Amid dead souls standing around.

All gather in clean weather
Just about to knock the door
At the stage to make themselves appear
With outrage romp up,
Rolled out towards stony eyes,
And they are Halloween players.

They make something vague
That makes room for more scared whims.

VIOLENT RIVER IN RAINY DAYS



Torrent descends first,
Muddy water dissolves the passage,
You cannot go on boulder-path,
You cannot choose river bed
As your choice of precedence
To go for upstream tour, for love,
It’s not secure; here is story of wrath,
Rain-water goes violent, stone wall
Succumbs to its reigning, its force-strain
Pertaining to impressions of regrets, 
The river has to obey flowing chart,
Calling you for running away
As water does in its turning back
To rock-way from descending enclave,  
Triumphant we are not always. 

Note: Earlier poem is published in Facebook and here is the revised poem.

THE SUBARNAREKHA




Water, it is sometimes reflective, sometimes it is destructive,
None of its nature does care for living, it moves with freedom,
While flowing in a river, or in water pipes, for human use, and
Life is still here, domiciled, or imagined staying of solvency.

In my last tour, you just carry sun-rays in your reflective swirls,
Boulder-road is built, silent wave thread, pedestrians moving
Alongside vehicles, river bed works as platform for road,
Water not making whirlpool, water makes whole decision for

Human being, it does not tilt basins, or break shore, peaceful,
In my today’s tour, you have built a chasing universe, stresses
Within water drive, along past-present asymmetry, and
It is always not to be seen, it is yours pattern, not in

Accordance with fanciful, radial pattern, and there is
A chiral revelation of water molecules, central growth,
It repeats in every rainy season, and it becomes more
Excited when water released from dams, to protect them,

Water, it is your transportation, I do not mix it with legend,
And the river does not leave from here; it does not make fossils,
Wave after wave, it transverses life, carrying certain
Capability to move us for living and doing something exciting

TULASI LEAVES




I see you grow near this home,
Its owner gentle one to pluck
You for offering his prayer to God,
And he will protect you all time.

You know what to say before God,
Everyone takes you home, that is
Why prayers are worldly and your
Submission by donors is heavenly

Bliss, something we have to learn
From your turn of pristine values,
We want to have this on the earth.
Perhaps you know it best to offer.

With all your otherness, devotees
Create an image, with flowers, for
Blessings and good happenings do
At least come for them following time.

It is hard to arrive at conclusion
How far your favor can bring auspicious
Days over exposed evils, yet
Colors does motivate in your presence.

GREEN VIEW



I first went to this garden,
Green greets me, I respect it,
Coconut and betel nut trees are in queue,
With attention, I moved into it.

In its singing blitz,
Pets are also inhabitants,
A symbol that reveals continuity,
Translating truth in reality.

Assimilation, a trait inside,
A kind of morphemes of life,
Consciousness being present,
A dream turns into congruent fullness.

EXTENSION OF LIFE



All passages are extended.

Floating of plane mounts on air
Journey is unbeaten beat
Upon the air, the green, the blue, and the cloud,
And upon the earth
Life journey drives an extended form of tension
It goes turbulently.

On the earth
Motoring hazards, mass hesitation,
In heart, in mind, and in body,
Sliding on stirred participation,
The sun being power driving,
Converts everything and prepares
Potential wonders,
Close to the earth,
Yet far away from our reach for certainty,

We stride for forbearance.
