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

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.

Leap

Leap

In light, the world divides,
Into values, norms, beliefs,
Blind system of words;
If you may permit –
Am out delighted to be in the dark
Re-positioned from pious to peace
In here words neither hit nor hurt
Endarkend with bliss
From end to end

mismatch

Competing poets
Poor industrialists
Are in peaceful war

some triplets

End devours
Table laid with values
Saliva begins

Black and white
On crossroads stop and go
Unwritten looks

Queue cumbersome..
Waiting to be digested
Grinding sounds of thoughts

Words sing litter
Sound look different
Penned reams of paper

Grandma’s pickles
Sunning on the terrace
Eyes water the tongue


Old homes in towns
Full only with parents
Children come in time


Crow craps on a head
With knots of thoughts now cleared
Handkerchief doctors


Party going on
Songs chandeliers switch off
Happy New Year


On deadline weak steps
Safety and security
Painter paints to sell


Sun in the morn
Poach on the hot table
Give a slight kick-start

a storm

a storm

A storm
Leaves are falling
Tools norms values noise
Like the wind from one end
To the other
I fleeting from me
As the receiver giver
The mind precipitates
In silence
A choice reaches out
To adorn the tree
