I took my artist's brush, so to speak, and created a new repo for my book of poetry.

Here is a link to the blog:



Here is a sample poem from the collection.

Reading haiku, drinking tea

I am unhappy

Longing for the Nameless.


All this time alone

I pray and pray

Beseeching the Nameless.


Death, thy graveyards are not full

And I do not wish to fall to the virus.

And so, I pray to the Nameless.


I pick up the phone.

“Sending prayers for everyone.”

I am now singing songs to the Nameless.


I pray to the Buddha.

The Enlightened, the Sea of Light,

I bow my head to the One, the Nameless.


I pray to God’s only begotten

For a world without hate.

I ask for peace of the Nameless.


Peace for all time,

And good fortune too.

I ask for World Peace from the Nameless.


Hope you enjoy the poems in this volume.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

My name is Anand. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I created this blog for myself, my family and denizens of the Internet that may want to know more about my writing work. If you are looking for my Professional C.V., please click here.

I am a computer engineer by way of undergraduate and graduate education. I am a technologist, author and entrepreneur by profession. I have also worked in research in computer science, strategic management and Indology.

 

Here's something cool! Take a look at the pictures above. The images above were created with the help of Voila, an A.I. artist. The first picture is an actual picture of me from 2021. The second and third pictures were rendered by Voila as 15th and 18th century  artists' versions of the first picture. If Leonardo Da Vinci or William Blake had been alive today, this is how they would have rendered us. Hope you liked that bit of A.I. magic!
