“Poetry Writes The Poet (The Sonnet)

The best poets are the ones,
Who don't know how to write poetry.
Just like the best scientists are those,
Who practice science as everyday curiosity.
The more you focus on the definition,
The more you lose touch with the essence.
That is why I never know what my work is about,
To explain love is to lose love's fragrance.
Painting of a landscape is not the landscape itself,
Depiction must never be confused with the depicted.
I don't know how to do small talk, hence the sonnets.
Poet doesn't write poetry, poetry writes the poet.
The moment I think I am in control, I lose all control.
Craving no control, the river just nourishes the soul.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None

“Vagabond Poet
(Sonnet 1044)

No matter how much
they plagiarize my work,
I won't say a word to condemn.
No matter how much they
monetize solar energy,
you never hear the sun complain!

It's okay that limited minds
got to care about such matter.
What does the ocean care about
a few buckets of stolen water!

I am infinite, I am unbound -
Come, steal all I've got,
strip me of all my legacy!
I started out as a vagabond,
I'll gladly perish in vagabondcy.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Aşk Mafia: Armor of The World

“I don’t do publicity, I never will. My entire body of works thrives despite the absolute absence of publicity. I write in silence, I publish in silence, I continue the struggle in silence - in silence and alone. I don't have an industry to back me up - all I have is my dream - the dream of an undivided world.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

“What is Poetry
(My Sonnet, My Rules)

Any gargoyle can google
the definition of a sonnet,
Any robot can write and
rhyme 14 lines of a sonnet.

Number of lines don't make sonnet,
Impeccable rhyme don't make poetry.
Critics, police and gatekeepers are
usually least capable of originality.

It's okay if it's few lines extra,
It's okay if it's couple lines less.
It's okay if it doesn't rhyme at all,
It's the soul that matters, not vessels.

You're welcome to your dead laws of poetry,
while I bring poetry to life, shaping society.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“My sonnet, my rules.”

“You know why I write books? Because it is the one thing about the outcome of which I don't give a damn. I don't care if they gather dust, I don't care if they don't sell. In fact, among my hundred plus works, there are a few that have sold barely ten copies. Yet, am I bothered! Nope!

I don't write to sell books, I write because my mind teeters on the edge of psychosis if I spend a single day without writing. Sure, the ultimate mission behind my legacy is the construction of a humane world, but if you get down to the actual morale of the moment - the only recompense I get out of it all, is the felicity of putting my fervor on paper - thus immortalizing them for eons to come. That's how this one life could produce such an impossibly inexhaustible amount of literature in the first place - because I dream my ideas, breathe my ideas, and live my ideas. Better a lesser read genius, than a misread genius. Or to put it plainer still - I am not a writer, I am an anomaly - for better or for worse, I am an anomaly.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“I am not a poetry factory, I am humanitarian poetry factory,”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“I am not a poetry factory,
I am humanitarian poetry factory,
I'm not what's normally called poetry,
I'm a new paradigm of inoculating poetry.

I am inoculation against hate,
I am inoculation against rigidity.
In a world infested with etymologies,
I am living testament to impossible inclusivity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“There are cracks across my heart,
nothing can bar the pouring rays.
Light is but suffering harnessed,
Genius is brokenness harnessed.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“Over the past few years one change has taken over my writing. It's that I no longer write from thought. Almost everything I write today is the result of subconscious grinding. In fact, these days I make it a point to not write from thought, particularly because things written from thought never quite embody the magic of my naturally flowing spring of words. Initially my writings contained occasional natural gems, bridged by materials from thought, particularly my early works of prose. But nowadays, it's like some invisible force does the actual writing - the complete writing, I only take dictations. Perhaps I've gotten lazy, or perhaps the outside has gotten lazy, for the inside has come alive. The thinker has given in, for the seer has come alive. This ain't mysticism, just the genius of nature. I ain't a mystic, just nature at its peak.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator
