Avoided To Evade
Excluded to delude.
Avoided to evade.
And truth as it is meant to be,
Will never find its way to the top...
Of anyone's list.
The trick has been in resisting it.
To make it something prayed against,
For the benefit to keep wickedness a profit.
And at the expense of decadence,
Payments are made to keep truth away.
Maintaining fear and descriptions to depict it,
Makes the drugging of the mind a medicated acceptance.
Avoided to evade and excluded to delude.

Untrammelled
i try to evade the shore
i want to fly away and never stop flying
but i end up
upon a branch, gazing on the valleys
and the plains and the houses grouping like frogs
the wind is singing
i end up listening
i try to evade the things that i like doing
those that spoil my bread and butter days
the way i try to hone my claws
and sharpen my beak
but i always end up doing what i do not like doing
how can i end this obsession-compulsion thing?
how often have i asked that question and i always end up with a wrong answer
enough of these, bickering inside me, this internal debate
that has leashed me
unleash the binds, i eat that stone, choke myself
and then i fly
wingless,
a wind in the air,
crossing the spheres
unto that untrammeled horizon

The Depth Of Patience
how deep is the patience?
how long is the rope
for you to fetch the water
within
to cool the heat
to avoid the bursting
the evade
death?

For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.

The Seduction Of The Married Man
you evade me
but then i suddenly
look at you and
you smile and
then turn your
head away and
then you walk away
towards the place
where i first
met you

A little tact and wise management may often evade resistance, and carry a point, where direct force might be in vain.
A Discovery
this is what he found: that the more you evade
something that you fear
the more it stays and threatens you more
adds more fears
on this stance of denial
ah, confront it
head on
bounce and pounce
and sip and swallow and take in
whatever
digest and let it stay
whenever it wants to
things get boring
events want to roam
incidents are mere incidents
not wanting to stay any longer
memories dissolve
trauma escapes
there is no eternity to all these longings
and haphazard
let go
expel, forget and then move on
that is what life is all about
and death too

Death, Anger, Silence.
For years I've been trying to evade it
And I thought I'd finally succseeded
But the blackness just keeps crawling in
deadly, angry, silent.
The road that I walk down is long
And I'm not really sure where it goes
But I keep walking, trying to hide
From the death, anger and silence
It starts out as a shadow
Nothing but a little blocked light
Except soon I'm surrounded; I can't get out
Of the death, anger and silence
As the shadow grows big, I become small
Blending in, hidden from one and all
To make myself seen I have to scream
And make death, anger and silence
I look around, I look around,
Trying to find simewhere safe
But soon I see, it becomes clear to me;
You can't stop the death
You can't hide from the anger
And you can't escape the silence

Reluctance
On your part do not lie or tell stories of deceit;
As for those who do, with them is wrong,
So follow the leader as you may,
And even the soldier can evade the young bull,
Which is all you're unwilling to take-
That bulls are younger than you.

Misery is from detachment
It is not that much inconvenient
For me to detach myself from
Men and materials.
Often I do it to escape, to evade,
To slip and to pass up.
No attachment to others
Like detachment from others
Brings on me all the relief.

The idea that a war can be won by standing on the defensive and waiting for the enemy to attack is a dangerous fallacy, which owes its inception to the desire to evade the price of victory.

No Hope Comes My Way
No hope comes my way
No visage shows itself to me
That death will come one day is definite
Then why does sleep evade me all night?
I used to laugh at the state of my heart
Now no one thing brings a smile
Though I know the reward of religious devotion
My attention does not settle in that direction
It is for these reasons that I am quiet
If not, would I not converse with you?
Why should I not remember you?
Even if you cannot hear my lament
You don't see the anguish in my heart
O healer, the scent of my pain eludes you
I am now at that point
That even I don't know myself
I die in the hope of dying
Death arrives and then never arrives
How will you face Mecca, Ghalib
When shame doesn't come to you

As Summer into Autumn slips
As Summer into Autumn slips
And yet we sooner say
"The Summer" than "the Autumn," lest
We turn the sun away,
And almost count it an Affront
The presence to concede
Of one however lovely, not
The one that we have loved —
So we evade the charge of Years
On one attempting shy
The Circumvention of the Shaft
Of Life's Declivity.

Death To Design
Design the death about a person of talent,
He spells trouble, a war of solid nature, he is gallant.
The bravery has a boundary, when faced with the guns,
Hold fast to them and theirs, any additions?
May nobody accuse us of crime or wrong administrations,
There are so many wild people, including some with afflictions.
Let them be evicted from their homes, just eradicated,
For they erupt from volcanoes with those exaggerated.
Evade the dead people, from us, for they die,
And that is to end with the most awful lie!

The real question is: How do you react? What do you do next? Evade responsibilities? Bury yourself in work? What do you do? All three of my novels take up that question, although none gives an answer.
