KARMIC CHAKRA

Post-retirement
awakens inner spirit:
karmic chakra
from sexual loneliness
to insecurities turn

inner fears into
faith cross-legging prayers
climaxing love
visionary hope, wisdom
narrative of helplessness

--R.K.SINGH

POST-RETIREMENT

post-retirement
awakens inner spirit:
karmic chakra

--R.K.Singh

R.K.SINGH

RKSingh

RKSingh is a real poet
Living in an imaginary world
For he did not opt for
Pension, oblivious of
Hiding pain that
Would crop up with
Hoary head and creaky bones.

RKSingh is a real poet
Lamenting on the lost libido.
On his best half losing charm
And pleasures of the youth.

RKSingh is a real poet
For not being in company
Of chest beating, wallowing
And slogan mongering fascists.
Nor among the rigid white capped
Bearded goatees with jhubbas.
Nor those carrying a sacrificial cross.

RKSingh is a real poet.
Now, he will hibernate for Nirvana.

Bengaluru.   S.L.Peeran

Chhath by Prof. Dr. Ram Krishna Singh

They light crackers from early dawn to welcome the chhath sunrise: half-wet women stand in the pond to offer arghya to the first rays --R.K.Singh

CHILL

hot on the trail with youth
she scales up the heights of dream
& leaves me stunned with chill

--R.K.Singh

MUCK

My bones have holes for eyes
I search my teeth in the muck
leeches have sucked my blood:
where’s the lout that ate my flesh?

--R.K.Singh
