PRISM OF PERSPECTIVES















"ABOUT"


A kismet about life

A nexus of stories

Which are dinkum

which a crapehanger won't trust at all

because the perspective is dark

and the light is dangerous for bats.

"UNTITLED"


The eastern gush parted the window,

the eye of Kismet...

displayed a script

but the human eye

in illusions slumber...

Ah! A coin is incomplete if fails to

nexus

with averse, negation and affirmation


A drop of dew through the window

for occupied eye...

a mere vomit of clouds

But for the poet

a pearl of perfection.


A dinkum eye dictates

the verses of the bard

But...

A crapehanger copies it

for the generation to come.

"EVEN IF I FALL"


This life's full of nexus, I find a way

even in sadness if I fall

I want to have lovely kismet it catches

my heart even if I fall


What kind of personality is this?

No matter how nice you say it.

I want, I have dinkum one to bring out

evil part even if I fall.


The sagacious age has come to face

selfish crapehanger that while flowing

I want, this life makes optimistic

waves to gild heart even if I fall.

"PRISM OF HER STRENGTH AND THREADS OF HER KISMET"


In the hands of kismet, she's bound,

A journey set, yet paths unfound.

Threads connect, a nexus tight,

Guiding her steps from dark to light.


Through trials, true as dinkum gold,

She stands her ground, both brave and bold.

While crapehangers doubt and sneer,

She finds her strength and casts off fear.


Each choice she makes, a fate rewrites,

In kismet's web, she claims her rights.

From nexus born, her souls ascends,

In every turn, her spirit mends.


For life's a dance of fate and will,

In kismet's hands, she's steady still.

True as dinkum, fierce and bright,

She shines her way through endless night.

"A POET'S MISSION"


Is often misunderstood by many

Without knowing that his mission

Helping hapless souls shape their kismet

Proving to the sometimes unfair life

That man is capable of controlling his own fate.


Is to teach the readers that there is a nexus

Between events, history, culture and feelings.

A dinkum poet will even make a crapehanger

See the beautiful things in the jungle we call

Life is to heal diseases traditionally medicine can't.


Like all children of the Muse,

I know that I have to complete the mission

Despite the obstacles naysayers put on my path,

The snakes that spit venom on me

Or despite the many stones thrown at me.

"SUNK IN KISMET"


My young horse stumbled on a little stone,

I thought it to be a certain nexus

Between a comma and a full stop.


Surprisingly a fall of dinkum meteor

From a sidereal system

Made me a crapehanger.


I'm sure,

It is kismet, an early full stop,

I'm sunk in kismet.

"IF TRUTH WORE WINGS"


If Truth wore wings... Nexus would fly -

like a bird so high,

singing...in parallelism.


If Truth wore wings,

Dinkum would shine its light

on my catharsis - cleansing me...

to climb out of my litotes.


If Truth wore wings -

I would be married to this kismet,

kissing her sievelet...making me a

sunset.


If Truth wore wings...

my crapehanger, though euphemistic,

cries - to the realm of

paradox, taking me...a paradise

"OUT THE SHELL"


The nexus feeling of love and

hate is always the problem


People find themselves in the middle

not knowing to express the masses


Being in the dark too long makes

a person get out of their shell


Showing resilience, strength in

facing the kismet given


Seeing another side of life,

a crapehanger allows pessimism


Bleakness overtakes you to be

easily manipulated


Let the nimbus light of stars in

a dinkum poet flow


Never to forget you're the one who

can change and rewrite history
