When a star drowns in the sky river!

Why should I waste my time
in the night school,
dipping in encyclopedias
seeking your real name.
I just call you Far!
that would never come closer?

*Music is love in search of a word.
-Sidney Lanier

A hangman eloped with a Beauty Queen

He ran with her who was condemned to death,
Towards his best friend the gravedigger,
For a secluded place.

* Dedication for one of the greatest songwriters Mr.Hank Cochran;
'Make the World go away.'

Homeless tattooed Boxer!

The featherweight
Who punches by using his will power
But the roadside lamp post not moves,
So sad his painful wake up
With a fractured knuckle!

*Never, never, never, never give up.
-Winston Churchill

The Bridge

Every nut & bolt knows who suffered day & night to build this longest bridge?
For the opening ceremony they are not invited.
The bridge was named of an unpopular politician
Who has exploited the country?

When he asked why I kept quiet?

Did you see me?
No I am a blind.
How is my song?
I am a deaf.
Why so quiet?
I am a dumb.
Then how did you answer to my all questions?
You only made my soul to speak
And that would be much appreciated.

Moon like lass

The whole night how could she hides in the clouds?
Whenever she appears I'll tell her politely;
'Please come down my pretty moody
And touch the earth with your frozen heels
It's my burning heart Miss! '

Steel Flowers and A Whetstone-Like Hornet?

The red tears
look like sparks
When the whetstone-like Hornet
dances on the petals
and the skeletal gardener
throws sweat with his shivering fingers
O the petals get harden
and sharpen like swords?

I snatched this poem from a filthy Fireman's blue shirt pocket

When all were burning into ashes in the Firestorm,
I got a sudden message that my beloved wife just delivered twin sons;
Oh! What a solace?
I am sure that one day they extinguish the fire of indignation!

unkempt illiterate flowers along the Varsity avenue?

This is an off season
But the tiny flowers
in bloom!
An undergraduate
who desperately drowns
in their smiley tears?

dedication to a dreamflower that never blooms in a real garden!

The faded identity

I lost it somewhere and in the mirror I watched my face,
It's not me somebody else that resembles the lunatic who drowned in the singing river on a full moon day?

* To those who drowned in shallow waters.
