You’ve left behind a permanent mark in my whole I know it’ll always remain smoking sacred & pure I hope you can see the light in your crystal clear core
You’re more than A-mirror, a magical reflection of the highest source You’re the breathtaking sparkling waterfall that freely flows You’re the crystal green, the beautiful light that intensely glows
You see, this body suit is just an appearance, a closed piece of cloth And love is much more bigger than the feeling of “mi amor” This life is the meditative voyage on waves of the highs & the lows
The only way you would know that my body is ashes in the human form Is when I’ll disappear from the pages just like the mysterious black hole No footprints of mine you’ll ever find, coz I’m the fine sand on the shore
I’m understanding the meaning of pure touch that I once craved for My gratitude to you for being with me from the other side of this globe The Universe is echoing “It’s You”, just say no more beautiful soul

The Moment (a poem):
So here I am once again to share with you my joy The moment I watched this reel, I was like “Oh my” The moment I listened to this dreamy & peaceful voice The moment I eyed these wonderfully written lines It was a heart touching moment & truly a great surprise My eyes then started to simply glow & drip the very shine The moment of bliss where my heart did purely smile You see, blessings come in several different forms & kinds The free flow of energy in this magical deep blue sky My gratitude to Nadia for reviewing Lightning Rhymes
I’m grateful to each & every one of you…for your wonderful support…for your unconditional love towards my poetry…I would only humbly ask you to buy my book if you connect with my rhymes…Lightning Rhymes…
Don’t walk like this in your silky skin infront of me Incredible My craving for you is crawling up a mountain frenzy Irresistible You’re looking red hot & my eyes are burning destiny Inflammable
Gaining your trust while I throw you with my rawness on that turf Animal Messing with your mind & body while I pull your messy hair Animal Tearing your peace in pieces while I look deep into your big eyes Animal
Whispering my twisted words in your ears to reach your red crystal Sensitive Sketching on you with my sharp nails to make you whisper pain with your deep vocals Sensual Shaking you intensely to awaken your senses to make a connection with your crying soul Spectacle
Biting your tender flesh slowly to calm my hunger with my hungry teeth Oh, I feel like an animal My lips are sticky & shaded as I taste the thick red that you’re bleeding I think, I’m an animal Even the wind under dark heavens of hell is howling crazy Yeah, I’m an animal
I see you in my mirror & my lens is bleeding red visuals Ahh, I’m so bloodthirsty animal I see you in my shadow & I look like that fiery dragon Wo, I’m so scary animal I see you shattered & scattered all over my dark ground Rahh, I’m so brutal animal I disappear in darkness after killing your dying soul to be one with the new you & eternity Yeah, I am that tainted & untamed animal

I am honoured to share that my poem – The Slate is published at MasticadoresUSA. My utmost gratitude to dear Gabriela Marie Milton and the entire team at MasticadoresUSA for publishing this piece.
The Slate
Staring at this empty slate Want to scribble my current state But heart isn’t ready Mind is talking crazy Simply can’t breathe And on top, am about to scream Want to break that screen Why do I feel so aggressive? Or am I simply just possessive? But I know am worked up & explosive
This noise in my head Want me to seriously shed The ray of blood shade But it ain’t make no sense So I try to take a nap But thoughts make me react The role I then enact The throbbing in my chest As if I’m on this unending chase Don’t know where it would take I feel my life is on stake My whole body starts to shake Grass is full of deadly snakes….
I’m delighted & honoured by reading this wonderful review by Tara Caribou, of Raw Earth Ink of my debut book – Lightning Rhymes…My gratitude to Tara for reading my book & writing an in depth review on Amazon & goodreads…I don’t think I would ever be able to express how it feels…I’m sharing this review…my joy with you all…
“I read this in paperback. This is an unsolicited review.
I’ve been following poet Navin Manik for some time now on multiple social media platforms and for good reason. I often find myself nodding my head, ‘yeah, this guy is speaking my own heart’. Typically I am not a fan of rhyming or structured poetry, but there are a few writers out there who, I feel, do so without it feeling forced or trite. Navin is one such poet. Often it’s not that he pens this huge and powerful revelation, but instead writes through dark and light inner thoughts that I think a lot of us have. Insecurity. Treachery. Longing. Inner torment. The body’s betrayal. Dusk and dawn. Falling down. Looking to the skies above.
It’s a bit tough to choose a favorite from the stack, so I’ll share from the very first poem, the first one he ever wrote, as I understand it. “Speechless I Became” introduces us to this delightful collection with: ‘Speechless I became When I saw the glimpse of me Felt a sudden shift Paused were the thoughts Everything came to a halt Tears began to fall Soul wanted to scream Inner pain was so real Wounds wanted to heal I began to breathe…’ The introspection and subsequent personal revelation is so heartfelt and soul-rending, one has a growing sense of urgency to continue on, page after page.
The book was a great length at just about 120 pages. I like its simple cover and the description makes it feel approachable. I didn’t care for the formatting, however it may due to the nationality of origin (I am aware that different countries have different formatting and ‘rules’ for publishing). I have never purchased a book from this particular country before, so I have nothing to compare it to. But, to describe, the font was a bit large and margins a bit tight, causing it to feel almost crowded on the page. White space in a book is nearly as important as the printed word. But again, this is merely opinion and I don’t count it against the author personally. I did appreciate that I found no misspellings or odd punctuation issues, so that really helps me love this even more. I give this collection 4.25/5 stars and consider it recommended reading for those who enjoy modern metered/rhyming poetry that speaks straight to your heart.”
My poetry style:
I don’t follow any particular style…In fact, I don’t even know how many different styles exist…it doesn’t matter to me…coz poetry is about expressing in whichever manner one wants to…I simply line my rhyme when I eye the shine…that shine is the raw shine of the very moment…whatever it may offer…I listen to my heart…
I’m truly grateful to each & every one of you…for your wonderful support…for your unconditional love towards my poetry..I would only humbly ask you to buy my book if you connect with my rhymes…Lightning Rhymes…
The body is running at full speed with no brakes The mind is bleeding the red sea in heavy rains The eyes are torching the tight cage in pure flames
The time machine can’t restore the lost things in real sense And there’s no need to preset the defence to face the present So the system is defragementing the free space with no gates
The lesion isn’t necessarily a damage if seen as a treasured lesson The dead veins could be the lost key of sanity in this locked scene The fingers are holding the keepsake delicately with numb grip
The divine grace is embracing the deep pain lovingly in true space The inner shine is fusing the open scars mindfully in pure faith The magical energy is dissolving the solid shield to the formless state
I’m delighted, honoured & deeply touched by reading this heartfelt review by Sinead McGuigan (Instagram handle: @sineadmcgpoetry) of my debut book – Lightning Rhymes…My gratitude to Sinead for reading my book & writing this amazing review on Amazon…No words can describe this feeling…
I shared last time how & when I started writing poems…before that, I had never written a single line…but I do remember clearly that I would simply “sing” to myself on my way home from the train station…that 10 minutes walk…yeah, I sound best if you put noise cancellation hearing protection on 😉…I was like…”nah, it’s not me”…what I’m actually saying is that I did sense something but that’s about it…but that changed in late 2017…a state of self-realization…I felt this crazy need to write those words down…I’m sharing my very first poem below…I was like “what’s happening to me…in me”…I started writing whenever I would sense words in me…I was admitted to the hospital on 7th Nov 2019…the day I was hit by brain hemorrhage…writing poetry was all I did besides the regular therapies & a bit of chit chatting…poetry helped me…it’s therapeutic in the sense that I could express what I was going through…I even shared my poem with the nurses & therapists 😊😂…I couldn’t have made it this far without them, the municipality, my friends, colleagues, blogger friends & my own will to live…and most importantly, without the beautiful support & love from my family…7th Nov 2021 was my conscious choice to publish my debut book…coz it’s the date of my rebirth…
I’m truly grateful to each & every one of you…for your wonderful support…this book was my dream & it would’ve remained that way if you were not there to show your love…I would only humbly ask you to buy my book if you connect with my lines…if you wish to read my rhymes…Lightning Rhymes…

I’ll be sharing another heartfelt review within a week.
Wilting under the tilted splinters Blinking to see flickering clickers Playing with my sneaky demons Voicing my cadence with slippery fingers
Creating this path in deadly trackers Breaking the norms in small fragments Braking with claws on warm ashes Picturing the forms with my naked senses
Scanning the heart in pure silence Spiraling the sky with mindful timings Spotting the clouds with sharp lightning Sounding the dark with beautiful thundering
Shining in my eyes when I glimpse a mirror Signing these lines to refine the present Sighing this rhyme when I sea the wisdom Resighting this site to build my serene kingdom
