Raj Arumugam Poems

There was a man
who kept his distance
but edged closer
to make use
...

i)

like the sky crowded with clouds
dark, heavy and chaotic;
...

A poem incapable of italics
is simply pathetic
- Jackrudin
...

don’t ask me what’s it all about
no platonic ideals about love
and birth of love in myths and fables;
or discourses about marriages made in Heaven
...

(i)

The shops
...

a quiet walk
did no one harm;
away from the clamor and the ambitions
and leaving the clutter and vanities
...

1

(as one sits, tired and dispirited)
...

I sleep on a bed of stars
and intergalactic dust forms my blanket
to keep my garments radiant
and my skin always soft and glowing;
...

life?
I’ll give you a bit of my
koala-brain wisdom
my take on life
...

oops! I might have said something amiss
wandered into un-chartered territory
unknowingly mentioned a subject that’s taboo
unwittingly mentioned things
...
