Poem

The Armored Sentinel

On ancient sands with the tides lowAn armoured relic walked from days of yoreWith ten legs scrambling in a rhythmic danceMoving across the sand with a backward glanceAlso ten compound eyes – complex and brightFor finding its way through the day and night. A silent guest and ageless sentinel of shoresThe living fossil as also […]

Poem

A Fascinating Living Fossil

It belongs to a timeless questWithout losing its own identityAn ancient mariner and silent witnessTo the rise and fall of dinosaursIn true sense, it’s the Titan of DeepIn sapphire caves where the currents rest. A relic of old yet remarkably trueScales like armour of silver and blueDwellers of the “Twilight Zone” of oceanA hollow cord […]

Poem

The Symbiotic Grace

On the white sand where the currents are warmA sessile titan is anchored away from the stormWhat a velvet mantle in turquoise and grey-goldA beguiling tale of solar light, a partnership hold. The giant clam has survived for millions of yearsWith mastery of disruptive colouration and ironiesIt’s no hunter of shadows and no seeker of […]

Believed to be first to claim the Jurassic airWhat a majestic witness of world once thereDinosaur like features teeth, long tail & clawsThen modern bird like flight wings […]

Jelly Fish

Cosmopolitan in presence worldwideJellies drift upon the rhythmic tideNo scales, no fins yet we call it a fishA drifting phantom, a ghost of the sea. No heart to beat, no bones to breakThe gelatinous walls that pulses makeWith a radial symmetry, simple and oldFiery stinging threads in a trailing hold. A cycle of life just […]

The Arctic Tern

This soul is the world’s ultimate travelerA silver dart as the unbounded skyfarerArctic to Antarctic and back every yearEver chasing the sun in eternal summer. The globe-trotting trek in a hollow boneThrough the arial currents, seldom aloneWith narrow blade and a fork-tailed graceIt ferries the whole world in a tireless race From northern frost where […]

Nepenthes: A Velvet Grave

Nepenthes lives in warm and tropical landsA masterpiece carnivore among the plantsA sculpted pitcher swings upon the vineCalling for all with frantic wings like a sirenTo rest a while as well taste a sugary treatOn its painted rim with nectar’s sweet deceit. The hunter doesn’t move, it doesn’t strikeWith a living cup where life & […]

Axolotl: The Eternal Youth

Axolotl, the neotenic mole salamanderThe native of just a few lakes in MexicoThe creature lies in dark and silent lakeA smiling ghost with wide unblinking eyes. Feathered gills like coral around its headWalks on floor where ancient spirits treadWhile everyone ages losing youth’s charmBut he keeps grace of childhood’s soft form. No scar can mar […]

Poem

Starfish

Upon the sea shores where tides retreatI see five-armed stars with faint heartbeatIn true sense not a fish, but an echinodermSkin quite rough, yet body reasonably firm. It exists in hues of crimson, gold, and blueAnd creeps on tube feet, hidden from viewLike a keystone guard of the oceanic floorThey balance the reef and the […]

A Voiceless Echo

I have no inkling, nor much is left for me to careIf these words find your eyes or dissolve in the airThe stark truth is a monolith – sole, jagged and vastThe day that I lost you, the world’s shadow was cast. Now they call me strong, that I stand like a stoneFew know I […]

The obvious reasons appear to be that when one is empowered, all other luxuries and antiquities of life automatically fall in line. Hence it is not surprising that people craving for the power adopt and exploit all overt […]
