*Alliteration Poem – Home*

13th Oct’17  ~by Venkat

Halves hinge halves
Half hints, half hunches
Halved hopes, halved hats
Hands held, heads hidden
Hearts hug, hisses hush

Lines

Pieces of me didn’t break. Socks I didn’t roll, shirts
I didn’t fold. Hardly limbed, I carried
each cup of malice in my clenched teeth, and scoured lands
on ten quadrillion purring wheels, a wave of
stampeding machinery, throwing up trees.

Handful of Water

In happy eyes
My hands fell in love
With the plant of knowledge

The time came
I poured my river of joy
in one handful of water

Three Lives

as I see you, up there
in quiet meditation
count every step
every pause, every atom
you vibrate in soft touch
this universe, in hands

From Dresses to Beads

My physiotherapist suggests
I practise fine motor skills,
help the brain to remember
its hand;
maybe thread some beads.
So I bought some from
Amazon, “My First Bead Set”.

I Do

Dappled sun
Stun me

I’m not real
But they see me
Going along

Running
My hands down
And
Drifting
Over vines
