Nonsense makes sense

By Poornima Shree TM

Nonsense makes sense is an amazing collection of short stories and poems by artists from different parts. It is an outbreak of something new, diverging from the normal way of thinking and expressing. As the title suggests, it becomes an attempt to normalise 'a new normal'. The book paves a way to sprinkle this new way of thinking

Aesthetics of dream home

Gayathri Lakshmi NK

A long road home, I walk

Gutka rust and tar-less floor hardening my sole

When my Phoenix welcomes me

I am swept away by the whirlpool of his pineapple scent

Call him -- the lord of love, for he crumbles to the ground with my pilgrim touch

His rumble of tenderness shakes me

Feverishly – my fingers catwalk across a dream*

(Aesthetic: how to make a place your home)

*Dream-- an Azure blanket that carries me home

When smokes get into your eyes

And hearts grow like vines without sunlight

My baby’s beat will crack them open --

With his marmalade lips raining honey –

Calls me the sunlight that turn lamps obsolete

And our kisses -- a practice in phototropism.

(Phototropism: my body moving to your beat)

Essential Heart

Mohamed Asif Shaw M R

Hard heart.  still alive;

Hot blood springs and so flows, in anger...

Blood seethes in wrath and vapours

From bottoms of every tissue

And condenses at the top,

With brain's breeze it cools and clouds accumulate

All of a sudden, those reddish clouds rash each other,

Lightning of thoughts sparks

Commanding the three Faraday's axis

To ground the supersaturated current

Sometimes hardly on those barren leaves but

Almost eternally in e notes strumming the keypad.

After a while, the blasting thunder drum

Twitches the whole slumbering senses.

Eyes to envisage; ears to decipher; nose to detect; tongue to resonate

And lazy skin to discover beyond

The horizon of physical rhapsodies.

Finally, the shower bursts; sympathy and love,

Empathy and other emotions with pride glides

Through veins, cools the nerves, cells and the rest

Circulates to all organs including the heart, adds chill.

Frozen heart. still alive;

Hot blood springs again
