Grace, Poet of  of Mystic Metaphors And Arcane Cadence

Marathi Poet Manik Godghate, who acquired a pseudonym "Grace", famous for his eclectic imagery and esoteric cross cultural symbolism dies in Pune. He brought in a tapestry of romanticism and dystopia, gloom and ecstatic narcissism in a beautifully crafted poetic form, whose innate rhythm often left the reader flummoxed.



Grass sings with the wind and your silent empty heart wails

cows' eyelid closes upon a sad blue evening

with tired eyes and suddenness in feet

your body attains the speed of the flower.

and fragrance of deathbed melts in your lips




(or)

when she left, rain was singing

sun was trying to carry away its entangled rays

as she was my mother I cried deeply

at that very instant wind was carrying away torn leaves

In front of house I realised I lost my childhood.

and dusky lantern in window was standing alone.
