The Sick Book

Original poetry

The alarming trick to tiptoe
On the brink of a breakthrough
The rugged texture with a slick look
The sharp edges of the sick book
The delicate pages that I flip through
The hammering story seems so dreadful
But it’s as pure as the deep truth
The raw obsidian from the red flow
Naked eyes can’t simply see through
It dawned on me when I flicked zoom
So I seized the moment with a click tool
Coz these spots aren’t just dead zones
There is life in them that breathes Om
Dark & Light are equally spiritual

Enjoy the Instagram version…I took this beautiful video of the sunset at Bornholm. A serene island of Denmark

  3. The video version of the sunset is very lovely but….would love to hear you reading these tight lines of powerful poertry. I saw this first on Instagram and was immediately impacted by your style.(It’s just so perfect Navin:) and what you elude to in the pages of your sick book, “The raw obsidian from the red flow
    Naked eyes can’t simply see through…” Just love this line, so visual and viceral too. You are in great poetic form Navin, and it’s always such a treat when you share this rare talent of your..with us all.🙏
