Love Season

Naked dogs linger
till monsoon
To express their love hunger
Well dressed humans
care no seasons
Day in and day out
they lust

Tsunami

They ran decades ahead of others
where are they now stranded?

Let the waters recede;
the rubble be cleared
and let dry the tears

Cigarettes

“Quit smoking”, advised Doctor
“Cigarettes are killers”
“Come on Doctor”, I quipped
“I don’t die without your help”

Archive

In my archive
some pages are never found;
some are rarely found
and some are found.

The found are never found by me.

They find me.
...my memories.

Under Trees

Affluent under trees
Easing in evening breeze
Digesting afternoon gorge

Needy under trees
Feeding their empty guts
With hot, spicy and sumptuous gusts

Phantom

One day I’ll become the Phantom
And enter your cozy room
To the winds, sans a hint
Skipping the Moon’s glint
And on your lips
I’ll impress
A kiss
Ishhh!

Love! Where Are You

You left!
I wept!
I love you!
I can feel
Your love too
Even miles apart
I know too well that
Love is that of heart
But, but, but,
What to do?
Body aches! ! ! !

Roots

My roots
are so great
So upright
They are the legends
Our ancestors left
There is no way
I can dig out
To hold them tight
I am supposed
To ascend
they're our
buttresses

Remote

a remote farm-house
power goes off and you're scared
when crickets screech ‘seize'

you grope for a match-box
and find it nowhere, when enters
your room a glow-worm

Isms

Caught in ‘ism’ cage
On the world I gaze
Shadows of my cage; blaze

Erase ‘isms’
Raze down
Refracting prisms
See then
Oneness blossom;
Truth wholesome
Come to vision
