PROSE POEMS

"A COLLECTION OF POETIC PROSE"

"Musical, without rhythm and without rhyme,

supple enough and rugged enough to adapt itself to the lyrical

impulses of the soul, the undulations of reverie, the jibes of

conscious." Charles Boudelaire

PHILOSOPHY OF EXISTENCE

"Beyond the realm of becoming"

"You can't, absolutely can't understand

the world rationally and one can't understand people

rationally"

"Ah...Must one eternally suffer?" CB

"Artist is always being overcome" BS

"Pay no attention to the elegant wags

and continue to trot zealously along." CB

"Perfumes of desire and regret."

"This filthy hole-this abode

of eternal boredom is truly mine"

"Look at the stupid, dusty, dilapidated

furniture, the sad windows where

rain has traced furrows through the dust,

manuscripts covered with erasures or un-finished-

the calendar where a pencil has marked all the direst dates!" Charles Boudelaire

'The rancid smell of desolation."

"The entire retinue of memories, regrets, spasms, fears, agonies, nightmares,

nerves, rages have returned."

"I am life-

Implacable,

Inexplicable terror."

'Street slave-be damned

and live."

"They must be going somewhere-

since they were impelled by an

irrisistible urge to go on."

'Condemned to hope forever."

"I need Irrisistible Indifference"

"Delicate perfumes infuriate the public

but carefully selected garbage-pleases them."

"The tyrnny of the human face has disappeared

and now there will be no one but myself to make me suffer."

"Dissatisfied with everything and dissatisfied

with myself."

"Grant me that-

I am not inferior to those whom

I despise." Charles Boudelaire

FATE

Describe your fate as the poet would

The only difference is that its your fate

And you are the poet

Thats the new project

And it will be an epic....

Because fate is a long unending process

Especially when fate dominates the poets poetry

And when poets poetry becomes the fate of the poet.

RESISTANCE

There will be sun

On another day

Then you will sit

With bare arms

And bare legs

And will look golden

Like you used to look

Before you gave up on your life

In one fraction of a second

You can reduce all your accomplishments

To dust

They are the most powerful

With influence

So immense that it travels

With the speed of light

From millions of miles

Away and the most destructive

Failure sets in...

No matter how it needs to be

Shaken

It just stays there

Unshaken like a marble

Rock

Of resistance...

ABSURD

Its absurd how people talk about

A particular story which in its real

Hidden truth, (which no one knows

except the devil) is so totally absurd.

Its absurd how people listen to that

Story with hard core conviction

Its absurd how people have no other

Point of view about the story which

Might not be anywhere near  the truth.

It's absurd how people never question

Any absurdities of this absurdly false

And fake story and than repeat it

Often...

PARIS

If Paris was next door

I will go there

But only New Jersey is next door...

  If Barcelona was next door.

I will go there.

But only Yonkers is next door...

If Marakesh was next door.

I will go there...

But only Westchester is next door...

Limited horizons

Because life is boring without you...

F**k people...

All people?

Some people

Which people

Them people

Which people?

You know which people

Which people?

Them people

Which people?

You know which people?

You know which people

People?

Yes,

People...

All people?

Ok-go ahead

F**k all people...

Artifice and calculation....

most of the people do that

Writers, artists all do that

All of them who make money...

COPYRIGHT

"We never tell any one about Ideas....

If we do...If we tell, then we never do it...

One must copyright the Idea before we do it

CAN WE COPYRIGHT AN IDEA?

Every one steals unless you find out

and even then you can't do anything about it unless

you take them to court and win...

And how many people can take any one to court.?"

"An Inspired being ...A SURREALIST."

"He prides himself on that for which he is least responsible."

CHAT AWAY

"You chat away as much as you want,

 as much as you can and I will write it

all down-

how about that?

'THE POET LABORS HERE

THE POET LABORS THERE"

THAT SOMETHING IS NOTHING

What are you doing?

Nothing

Nothing?

Something...

That something is nothing.

'I like nothing"

"Great, you have achieved it."

"Ignore yourself and don't be so limited

in your thought. 

Open up your horizons

and go beyond."

"Every man is a poet who ignores himself,

and he has only to turn from his limited horizon

for enhancements far surpassing it to open up for him."

Become oblivious to the obstacles,

all kinds of obstacles put in your path

by whatever and whoever.

Go beyond ordinary people,

ordinary pressures, ordinary problems.

Everything which is capable of bothering you

has to be completely special and extra ordinary.

Tell yourself that,"He is not extraordinary to bother me."

Tell yourself that,"She is not extraordinary to bother me."

Tell yourself that,"Its not extraordinary enough to bother me."

"Ordinary things and ordinary people can't bother me."

"MAKE SURE WHAT YOU DEVOTE YOUR TIME

AND ENERGY TO IS SOMETHING THAT IS WORTHY OF YOUR REMARKABLE

TALENTS."

DOMINATION

You wanted some one with passive and receptive role

Which I out of love for you somehow assumed

But you got too used to it,

Making vibes with your ever dominating personality

And me trying and trying to accommodate your

dominant instinct out of love for friendship.

I some times let go of my annoyances and tolerated

your snapping...

If you didn't like a word or a sentence, uttered innocently

I could have and now I think I should have walked out on that Imbalanced

friendship long time ago,I should have said,"Hey listen, you the obedient friend,

You have some deep problems. Try to correct them. You are too passive

and have been too passive with people for a long time and then you explode

like a pressure cooker...You feel obligated for some reason by things and people

You actually fear people. Thats it. You have tremendous fear of people.

You are too afraid that you might annoy them. But all those people

You are afraid of are ass holes."

'You wasted your life on ass holes. Fuck them." 'Speak up for your self.

Stand up for your self."They have no right on you. You are not obligated to any thing

or any one.

Walk with your head up high and don't be with low lives.

Don't waste your priceless time on some one who is not worth of your ability, talent,

dignity and education, Fuck their money.

Fuck their success.

Stop being impressed by ass holes.

Stop spending time with ass holes.

Stop, just stop...I said, STOP."

I AM

I am fed up with you

I am bored with you

I am bored with your whims and ever changing

Un sophisticated moods and tantrums.

Don't want to be at the mercy of your out bursts

Of un-predictable behavior

I myself have all of that already

I need to deal and absorb my own moods

And whims.

I don't have the energy. emotions, time to deal with you.

You and your ever changing behavior.

I am not a psychiatrist or a therapist.

I am a person with limited patience and limited time.

I need to pay attention to my own whims and neurosis.

I want to be alone.

I want to be only by myself.

WHAT A WASTE!

For many years now I wanted to extricate

My self from him...

Should have done it

Waited too long...

Do it with the other one now

Its your chance

Listen to your inside

Your instincts...

Always

Your own instincts are your advisor

Your consultants

Your lawyer

Your lover

Your companion

Your well wisher

And your friend

Don't ignore all these wonderful helpers by ignoring

Your instincts...

Please do listen to me

Its already so late...

I am your therapist

A private therapist

You don't know how lucky you are?

How many people can have a private therapist at their disposal?

And you are a chronic patient

You need one, 24/7

DO IT

Finish the story

Finish the Un-finished story

Even if there is no end to the story---

End it.

DO IT

You can do it

Remember?

You said,

"You are going to do the show"

And you did it

Say that....

Say that you are going to do it

And you will do it......

After that there is nothing more

The story is finished once and for all.

CAN YOU IMAGINE

He should be alone,

Away from all those power control freaks,

Those pseudo important

People...

Just remove himself from those people

That's his only treatment...

Those people are poison which sweeps through his pores

When he is with them,  that poison makes him sicker

After every meeting...

That person's pores are super-powerful

And absorbs and absorbs and absorbs

Nothing else but poison because those people

Those self empowering, control freaks, have

Nothing else to offer but poison  and control, of course...

That person will be lonely in life

 but its better to be

Lonely than being poisoned. 

 Isn't it?

Be lonely sweetheart, be lonely...

Read a book in your loneliness...

Go for a walk in your loneliness...

Write something in your loneliness...

If you can't write, just think...

If you can't think Just be quiet...

Be silent.

Silence is beautiful

Be silent by yourself

Remember, Shakespeare said,

"And the rest is silence."

Poison, is not a perfume...

Its people.

Remember Kirkegard?

He said, "There are two kinds of people

Avoid both of them."

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

The y all had me around to increase their own pleasure

They couldn't careless about me.

They didn't want to do much for me.

They had me around to have power.

"Hey honey, you an Idiot of a honey." 'Listen"

Even if a certain human being is not so powerful

Or successful or rich...

Its still good to have him around to exert control...

Psychologically its crucial to have a subservient, polite,

agreeable person around...

.

But that person is the idiot who doesn't get it and doesn't remove

himself from certain circumstances and stays in the oppressive

atmosphere. That person is more to blame.

Have you heard of a personality with no confidence,

Inferiority complex and hyping other un-important ass holes...

If that subservient person by some inborn flaw of nature

and personality can't exert control over his own time, circumstances, his own advantages

because he can't assert himself with some kind of logical fear of annoying his dear ones, 

dear ones?

What a joke?

That is for sure a joke.

They are all laughing at your joke

You are the joke, darling, you are the joke.
