Poetry 2025 Shortlist, Gargi Sidana

 Brittle Shards Of Vice


Existential Humans,

     Shred part of them

                   Coexisting in the belly of lies

Soul prohibits penetrating into the shades of integrity. 


Integrity: A human element engraved in depth 

                                on a karan sharir (material body). 

This is precisely closest to the chetan (soul's inspiration).

 Memorising morphine land of egoism took a toll on this tangible body.

Egoism, an autopsy of a silver tongue draped in peripheral syllables of vice.


The universe walks on the path of virtue or vice, 

optimism or pessimism and dwells on

human elements: Satva, Raj and Tam.

           

Shards of the metamorphic sun 

                     withdraw its light as per these elements.

Elements of tatva तत्त्व include Rajsik and Tamsik samskaras.


These samskaras dive in the tainted ocean of malign minds, 

                        giving a whoop of cyclic karma.


Fragility has become a dystopian choice 

                           of oblivion stars of sentient beings.


These beings hum the rhythmic lyrics of grey karma.


The breakage of threads of mindscape perishes 

                     Rosemary's actions of virtuous deeds.


Virtuous deeds, dedication of the karmic actions 

                                  delegated to the authorized deity.

Fragile leaves a spiral lump in the larynx of the heart.

Brittle black laughter continues...

Acquiring a loop or trail of stitched vice 

         samskaras leads to the demolition of the pristine soul.

Soul or आत्मा:

ब्रह्मा देवाये नमः Attributing glides of material 

                 and emotional baggage to the Brahma.


When Brahma channels his stream of knowledge 

                           in the voluminous body, his acquired

cream strength whispers in the lungs of humans.
