Fire
Fire is so beautiful to look at
Its flaming figure is bright saffron
It aspires to the sky
Where shines the Sun
Where lightening cries out in thunder
And warns man for monkeying
With technology-his the other
Fire seeks to mingle with the fire of the skies

Still of the night
It is the still of the night
and there is the one hue of darkness
up down in the left in the right
Nothingness oozes ceaselessly from everywhere
I am wet I am drenched in nothingness
She is the mother
i live in her placenta
May i never be seperated from her

Laughter
Life is a dull story told by an idiot
Who is the idiot? Macbeth? Shakespeare?
Or the reader himself?
Because where is the text?
Does the reader half create it and
half perceive?
But suppose life were a story
told by an intellectual
Would it make any difference?

Fire and Gold
Fire is gold aflame
Gold is fire solidified
Fire and gold gold and fire
Bring about the sunset of the Indian summer
I presume it caught the eyes of the blind bard
Who created his Helen from its effulgence
No wonder Euripedes hid her in fire
Because privacy of glorious light was her

Truthful
I met a truthful man from Tibet
Who found the world to be a null set
And laughed at the world and its love for death
He vanished into laughter
That cried-Was there anything called life
Was Tibet ever alive
So that it might die of cholera
Or of an attack of heat wafted from Amudaria

She goes on talking ceaselesslyS
She is busy working in the kitchen
And at the same time she goes on talking ceaselessly
She is the fountain spring of the deadly methane
She is out to kill all life fearlessly
She is not scared of killng others
She has no fear of being punished
She is in hell and she is hell herself

The Dance
The dance I feel at my heart-lubdub
The dance i feel in my throbbing brain
The dance I feel in my pulsating vein
The dance I perceive in every cell
seems to be a part of a dancing ocean
where electrons dance into death
and where electrons dance forth into life
Who dances? Who? Who?

Loud
Loud songs
loud colours
loud gossip
loud drummers
loud fragrance
loud worship
loud laughters
loud roar
loud snore
loud thunders
sink into the waters of silence
Silence is louder than loudness
Silence is the sister of death
Have you heard the breath of silence
Have you heard the noise of death

A Journey
I didnot board on a train
I didnot go by bus
I heard from the lips of a crane
That a transport is available
Inside the cave ofa tree
No sooner than I entered the cave
There was a cavity that gobbled me up
And now I am here among you
Longing for this mans scope
And that mans talent

The privacy of glorious light
A privacy of glorious light is hers
Could anyone tear it asunder
And reveal the farce?
it is the ordinary uncouth woman
Come from Mars
It is the ordinary uncouth man
Hunchbacked and harsh
Mounted on a kangaroo and a cobra
Pronouncing a curse upon the halleluja
Of modern civilisation
