Steps in Redemption (A Repeat of my earlier poem)

I have heard, heard from quarters deep Love is the glue that holds, binds, unites the universe Why is it then that nectarine waters in me not seep? Is it because I do not love myself? This verse, This question I surmise is in season In spite of all my bawdy internal treason I do realize I have not... Sign in to see full entry.

Universe: The Verse in Multiverse (written long time ago)

Alongside a grove of Norfolk Island pine Grows a solitary rosebush steady and fine Delicate liana creeper clings with an unrelated Oak trunk, as if friends or lovers long-lost, reunited! Vast Himalayan mountain range overcast, lies waste The endless bounds of the Great Saharan chaste Hiding in its... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's Ignore the Faults and see Galileo the Scientist

( Was it a realistic depiction of Galileo the man? I have my doubts so far as his hedonistic tendencies go ). For clarity's sake please read the earlier post in continuation.

Thou Foster-Child of Silence and Slow Time (A repeat of Keats' Grecian Urn)

John Keats has been regarded as one of the greatest of Romantic poets of the English Literature. Sadly, his works were not really appreciated during his time in the early nineteenth century and it is also sad that a poet of his caliber should have died at an unripe age of twenty-five. Among his... Sign in to see full entry.

Pompous Language for Low Actions is the Perfection of the Mock-Epic

The Rape of the Lock portrays the fashionable world of the early eighteenth century London, and its title page describes it as a heroic-comical poem.

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
