Favourite gifted dress pressed
Lying on the bed accessories spread
Almost quiet sound of shower leisurely
Climbing down on the floor
Snailing through the hole
Slow and soft humming
Smell of shampoo
All leaking out
Ready to leave
In some moments maybe
…
Steps moving towards the garage
The car looks clean
Inside outside
Waiting
Shh…
No honking please

some triplets

competing poets

poor industrialists

angry peace-fighters

 

back faced to the wall

living only to love hmm

outstanding posture

lots of slippers

elders talk children play games

rooms with different times

Tongue-teaser

Tongue-teaser

Words from Coimbatore,

Trying to connect with some from Singapore;

Tongues twist to laugh and have fun,

After a while give in and run!

Foods from Nigeria,

Serving some from Alaska;

Tongues taste as much as they could,

Then give up, smirk and leave it for good!

For the word and the food, sung and unsung,
Skills could be honed by testing the tongue!

Some triplets

Weekly hope

Lift full with people

Mundane faces have reached work

A weekend waits

Picture

Barber cuts hair

Under a tree with birds fruits

Child sees calendar

Facelift

A pebble drops in a pond

Rigid face dancing warms up

A bell rings from far

Indolence

A rest of time

Cattle grazing unending green

Sounds of brooks birds air

Settling down

Diving in the sea

Settling down on the bed with

Plants stable water

Thank you

Thank you

I stretch my hands,

Head to the sky;

Start turning turning turning around

Cry shiva shiva shiva,

And fall on the ground,

My visha goes away!

Thank you ecstacy

Thank you rumi

Thank you sufi

Thank you simplicity

Thank you propriety

Thank you sanity!

Until there were people

Until there were people

For a long time,
We knew
The sun moved round the earth,
Europe was the world,
With no America's birth;
Until there were people
Who proved us otherwise.

For a long time,
We thought
We could never ever fly,
Sail above, under the sea,
Cure pox, leprosy;
Until there were people
Who proved us otherwise.

For a long time,
We thought
We needed a pair of eyes to read,
A pair of ears to compose music,
Impaired will never communicate;
Until there were people
Who proved us otherwise.

For a long time,
We believed
We needed wars and borders to survive,
Soldiers to honour and sacrifice,
Power and pelf to hurt and connive;
Until there were people
Who proved us otherwise.

If only

if only

We are bordered in our prisons
Unable to move in a trance
With a soft bang on reasons
If only we're out by chance

No side

No side

In the moving home,
There is no side;
What is to your left,
Is also to our right;
The stars lie in wonder,
Never set or rise,
All moving in the hole,
Confused amused inside.

Changing images

Zeus has forgiven Sisyphus

For divulging his secret,

For being deceitful,

For killing travellers,

And for many more sins,

His spirit now free;

Today’s Polygnotus is busy giving

The king a rest and the forever falling rock

A stable look.

Thus the world has become light…

The Thinker of Rodin

Is giving a flying kiss to the world

Not pensive any more;

Out of Louvre

La Jaconde of Vinci

Is laughing ha ha ha

Beyond apprehension and doubt

Her crowns shining bright;

And O the tired Hercules

Shouldering responsibility for so long

Has brought the world to his heart

His head resting on it

Hugging huge for good.
