a song on the lips
a swing in the gait and hips
flushed after first kiss...

City dressed in lights,
Awaits Goddess’ arrival;
Child makes Rangoli…

A Child’s contempt
Far worse than labour pain,
gnaws- raw without scab.

One atop another
White hen caged in a rickshaw;
Red beaks, why no squeak…

Call of the wild - Senryo! ! ! ! ! ! !

What, cricket mania,
Had no clue, a small insect
could cause such furore...

Rose- no fragrance,
Beauty stripped of essence:
Prey to man’s arrogance.

Chasing a Mirage

Emotions gnaw when raw,
For we look for perfection,
Overlooking our flaws.

Chill goes down my spine
As I bite an apple with skin;
Doctor on his way…

His hair unruly, drip
After a shower from skies;
Girl smiles, averts eyes...

Matador staggers
The rider hits the roof, cries-
Round humps on road quiet...
