BRANCHES

When I asked a rivulet
why it flow dry as a narrow line
it mocked  me to bang its head
on a hard rock, split in two
and one branch dried in summer
and the other one perished
in a whirl..

REFUGEES


Stand not in my freedom camp
like a refugee as I don't have
any trust in your masks
and their endless pretensions
Take that crowd away
like paid sergeants  they scream
across borders
and there is no place in this earth
for heartless invaders

CLIFF

When I placed my first step
I had a fall but earth embraced
me and placed me on a cliff
and that is the day
I emptied my tears and fears
in a valley
..

MELODY

 I have learned to play
again on strings,
my fingers once numb
regained its fire that I can
play again the endless
melodies of life

REBIRTH



It is my rebirth
from one death hill I climbed up
breathing fresh air and fragrance
of earth ...

EMANCIPATION

That time lost its creative relevance
and emancipation a fake mask
of pretense
and in war field where egoes clash
I don't have time to wait
for a final encounter
...

CURSES

That widow is like a norh wild wind
spins around curses as drapes 
 her tresses black spotted clouds
and her mind a black river..

VISION

I lost a day in one night
and for the lost day
I waited  long and long 



and my vision widened
when I re entered
on day's axiis

INEVITABLE


It is through the tip of my fingers
words arrived in simple forms
 in colours of autumn and earth
and through the pages
of destined lines
I read diatribes of a compass
and its ultimate rhythm
to point zero

TIRADES

It is on a rain filled morning
I learned from the sky roof
that clouds arrive
from no where and cause
panic and collide in expletive
black fumes
and at the end of an explosion
they vanish in mid air
shedding their masks
and masquerades in rain drops........

EAST WIND



From east wind I move forward
to western sun set
and the beginning point of
dark nights where masks
dance in wild rhythm

SPARKLE



I can see sparkles 
in moist filled tree branches
and when in night I see
the same sparkle in stars...

There is a sea in front of me
tied around in rocks like strings
in one instrument, written words
on sand, faded day, this sea invades
shores breaks away all instrument strings..

SILENCE

I have tried hard to silence my words
but they broke open like a storm
from my memory lines
and sentenced me to life... 


..

FLUTE


For years I wandered
in search of me
and at the end of Pralaya
I find my real breath
in the musical holes of a flute

JUDGMENT


A paper sheet endorsed
on bias and that Judgment
has no value

LIBERATION

and to liberate my true self
from bonds I wrote again
and again



I feel not secure in my words
as someone follows me wherever I go

DANCE OF THE FOREST

From a valley of dreams,

I overheard the conspiring

whispers of a mountain

on time bound wheels

and it is the same day

I learned the dance of the forests

In wild rhythm....

I find it out one day certainly
to come out of  that mountain cave
and for certain I find it out one day
to climb up to the moonlight

 

I closed that door and those opened
windows, fenced around
and the only window I opened
today is focused towards a sea shore

It is from this hill I heard the echo
of a valley and from a forest
I learned to sing in silence
..

I have decided to turn away my destiny
from storms and northern heat winds
and I have decided to hold in hands
stars and autumn colours

It was in that journey of life
I immersed all my burdens
in Ganga and carried
that river in a tiny clay pot
and when I walked past
on burdens, from a tiny
clay pot I heard the heartbeat 
of ganga

RAIN

Rain in me is there from the day I was born
and that rain I hold in my hands so full
Rain in me is June and tht rain is from
there from the day I was born

WORDS

I lhave learned to hate mountains
through  rhyming verses
and I have learned to love my life
through simple words

CLOUD TRAP

My mind was  like a bird
caught in cloud traps
where a blinded star
followed me in silence
and I lost my origin

SECONDS


Seconds perished unnoticed
on rolling wheels of forgotten hours
and nothing remained 
even to anounce the final
death call of time....
