Remembrance
First featured in the Little Rose Magazine, July 2018

The old cuckoo has been strangled
rolling in dust
for its coarse and harsh cries
are bringing back the
memories
too hard to bear
too painful to hear
The cobwebs in the old piano
have marked the
crotchet of my memories
with the missing
touch of my lover’s fingers
devoid of its symphony
The broken chair and
cracked mirrors
are storing the reflection
in its cracks
my tongue slaps my cheek
to hear the broken verses
and lost songs
from the past
Those folds in the
sheets
holds the warmth of our
supple skin
Too fearful to
lose the memories,
I’m letting the wrinkles
sink in
The air is heavy and laced
with your memories
in this old dusty room
those specks of dust are
dancing and dangling
intoxicated by the love
of our old moon.
And how the body heals-Megha Sood
Come read my latest piece on Whisper and the Roar.
And how the body teaches itself to heal
to get up
shed off the scars
the sullen time has left behind
rub off all the cobwebs
of the stale vapid moments
nesting in you for time forever
taking shelter in your mind
feasting on your memories
like maggots
and sucking off the light
that was once so divine
And the how the body teaches itself to recover
by crying profusely
pouring out the tears
chaos of the lonely soul
that deep lamentation
that once gone sour
and how it springs that fountain of elixir
stemming from the depths of your heart
to cleanse you
once again
and to baptize your sins
marking you as a nubile
a soul apart
And how the body fight and shuts itself down
cocooned within itself
sitting cross-legged in the dark
hunched by the pain of the
deep remorse
and sitting in complete silence
mute and numb to the core
those screech and

Poetry published in the Vita Brevis Magazine- Impressions
How do you feel when the poetry magazine which you have been in awe of since the day of their inception and have spent countless hours reading their poems and admiring the talent of the writers published on their site has agreed to publish your poem?
I fell elated and top of the world since the day I got the email from the editor, Brian confirming the acceptance of my poem.
Vite Brevis is inspired by the saying ““Ars longa, vita brevis“ (art is long, life is short). This line moved me the very first time I saw it and every time I read their poems.
Their aim is to publish work that shows a keen awareness of not only art’s beauty and longevity but life’s toils and finiteness.
Please read my poem Impressions and leave your precious comments.
Happy blogging!

Introducing Megha Sood “My horror movie”
My debut on the Sudden Denouement. So excited about this. Go take a look.
My horror movie
That nihilistic pain
simmering in the back
of my eyelids,
or sometimes lodged
like a toothpick in my throat
grabbing my head
like an incessant headache,
numbing my senses
rocking me to the core
that pain is the reminder of your memories
the miasma of incessant pain
as it dug it’s knuckling deeply into
my and kneads me violently
shaking me to the core
giving me the creeps
forever and more
before I give in
always and again
this unbirthing of childhood fears
and the panics which kicks in
oh! my relentless heart
looks for the company
which is soothing
your old gelid fingers
that gut-wrenching
and soul-numbing pain
leaves me in the fetal position
that numbing pain
I feverishly want to get rid of
this whole hamster on the wheel routine
has left me aghast
like a horror movie stuck
on the reels.

TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
Come read this beautiful rendition of a love letter by a talented poet Chuck.
By Charles Robert Lindholm
My Dearest Darling-The Lover of My Soul,
As I sit here writing to You after all the intervening years since our time together I am still so amazed and thankful that my memories of You and Us are as vivid as the day we made them.
I can see You as clearly as when I gently held Your face in my hands and kissed Your lips so tenderly every morning. The most exquisite greetings to a morning I have ever had in my life. Ah, but then all of the memories that I Treasure most were made by You in my life!
