The Spiritual Nonsense. Poem by Subrata Ray

Bottom arrests wonder to Hamlet,
As Alice travels Wonderland’s gate,
And Falstaff rises from death –bed.

Humpty Dumpty rides on Donquixote’s back,
Prospero wills Arden by Ariel’s hack,
Swift’s tales as Gulliver reveals.
Invites Edward Lear to live in nonsense fable.

Aaron’s cut off rod from Almond tree,
Blossoms flowers as reason-free,
And Jesus’ touch washes death by bliss,
Or turning a lover to vampire by Masuda’s kiss.

The ghosts or saints in us are the twin-flowers,
In the dark and lighted hemispheres, -the two towers,

Birth enjoins in death and death in birth,
Evolves continuously earth after earth,
And Faith is nonsense that adds grandeur
To incompleteness, as phantasmagoria is our case.
