O Infant Just Out Of Womb..!
O infant just out of womb
What are your thoughts
Of this world?
Who makes you to smile?
What your plans are for today
Or for morrows?
Why this cry at birth?
Did not like to exit cosy comfort of
Mother's womb?
Ever faulty are our guesses
Of your cries and smiles.
O god grant me
The power to read
The language of infants!

Shapely Virgin Clouds!
In the morning skies
shapely virgin clouds
in their best of postures
stand inviting attention!
At their bewitching midriffs
the youthful sun taking liberties
plays pranks with deft touches
with a mischievous smile!
Look! how colourfully the lovable maidens
blush in chorus on their crimson cheeks
in titillation and blissful thrills!

All Attention To Nature..
even the faintest whispers of the tiny blades of grass are audible to me
and the weakest chirpings of smallest wings make the finest impact on my ears
the deepest silences of the majestic mountains convey me the loudest messages
and above the din of the roar of the giant waterfalls i trace the most solemn teaching.

When You Stood Hiding In A Remote Dark Corner
when you stood hiding in a remote dark corner
and stealthily gazed at the sun full of love
you looked lovely in full splendour charming the world-
but when you gathered the boldness and appeared before the sun
to declare your deep love in open light
what makes you so pale and dissolve your strong self, o moon?

Two Deep Silences..
Two deep Silences-
One, of meditative Sculptor
Other, of the Boulder
In timeless penance
Melt in intense passion
Through rhythmic jingles
Of dancing chisel.
A marvellous Beauty
After months of
Labour pains
Is born
Out of its womb!
O! is it the dream
Of damsel rock?
Or, is it Full Moon
Churned out of
Two silences
By sharp clinks

Don't invite me to secret chambers of your heart..!
my friend!
reveal not your secrets to me!
not on ankles
but on tongue
i wear my anklets!
wherever i go
it jingles out
all your secrets!
wherefore, friend!
bolt and lock
heart's holy chambers!
i am an autumn tree!
my lips' smallest tremor
sheds in thousands
secrets inflammable!
wherefore, friend,
invite me never
to secret chambers
of your heart!

How Painful To See A Child...!
how painful to see a child..!
&
how painful to see a child
bursting with enthusiasm
in shouts of joy and gurgling laughter
over dancing hands and jumping feet
suddenly through an adamantine demand
catapulting into trajectories of mad anger
indulging in all tantrums of ugly behaviour-
o shattering all the goodwill of our hearts!

Let Me Neither Make Nor Break
let me neither make nor break
new year resolutions-
let me be as i am as ever
holding a mini pocket book
with all my crazy jottings
snatching thoughts as they hit me
on their reckless ways-
performing ten out of hundred tasks
that i greedily scheme to finish-
compiling at last at the end of the day
my failures of the faded day
with a tinge of sorrow.

Search through my torn Life.!
O my dear!
The Misery has a tight grasp
Of my shoulders.
The end opposite..?
Must only be Joy!
To the extent possible
I rid the thorns
From piercing your soles.
The Day will dawn...
Then..
The torments underwent
As roots into our hearts..
The joys
As the blossoms on our faces.
Till then..
Through my torn life

She Sits Still Like A Silenced Ocean
she sits still like a silenced ocean
with resting waves
and all turbulence i am
questioning all aspects of life
and its mysterious waywardness..
my eloquence and mastery
failing a peaceful existence
but she queryless and careless
sails her boat without ripples..
o the simplest has no fear of life
