Foursome

A complex ego:
lips on a flame
like Kama Sutra.

Starless night
to probe a moon
going downhill.

A needle in hay
protects the wound
of a kiss.

Portrait was incomplete
without pilot
to fly a plane:

Crossbars

The depression,
human brand was trapped.

They were talking about
the nukes.

To annihilate
the earth. It was elemental,

I said. An ardent
fan of moon.

A lark asks
who will survive?

Yellow Face

When life falls apart
you do not pick up the shadow.
It is the shadow, which
gathers you in arms.

Little things make a difference
a diety comes at your door.
And a gift lies broken
a little bread was black.

Ghostly

An alien feeling
of weird dreams
whirling in eddies
of thoughts.

Vertigo.
I snapped at moon,
bursting on to pow wow
at phallic rocks.

The God was kind enough
blessed the knife
which fell in lake
without noise.

Secret Wake

savage

running under the moon
selling the night

sanitizing

the hands
after the killing

truth
withdrawl
vaginae still inviolate
seeds wiped off
from the face of earth

ethnic cleaning

Tears Were Never Sweet

It drips -
my ocean.
One dropp at a time
from the eyes of a grey stone.
Flows the anguish
in a cave.

A fallen grace from sky,
flickering like an earthen lamp.

Do not go
heart broken into crowd.
Tears were never sweet.

Dewdrop

absence of a melody
was wrenching
on the face of a song

surface tension –
a venom creeps
surging in twin black eyes

you raise your price
in extremes
unburdening of embryonic waste

outsider
matches his death
with antiquity

All I Unread

I unwrite a song
for she,
a gratis homage.

Questioning imperils
the sky,
clouds would not weep.

A cover-up comes to quote
scriptures
the meaning of deployment.

Was I feeling smug after
counting
the pages of unread death?

Peace

Be with me
in this zone of pain.
My poems was walking
through me.

The flute I broke,
in the river of silence.
Someone was whispering
to me in sleep.

Why this desire of awakening
in darkness,
when light was waiting
at the window?

Pictures

1.

Somebody puts a hand
on my shoulder
I turn around
suddenly it was moon.

2.

Do you hear
the inaudible voices
of abstruse frosting.
The leaves are falling.

3.
What you did not know
was my pain.
When I felt illumminated
in dark.
