Anu Lal Poems

The sun shines in gold
The leaves of cashew trees
Put on the golden hues
The crickets sing an unknown melody
...

'The eagle controls the destiny of all living things-the eagle's gift is the chance to escape and be free.'
- Carlos Castaneda.
...

Meanings dissipate,
Words remain,
Like skeletons…
Poem a fossil skeleton,
...

In a half bloomed flower,
The rain drops adhere,
Hoping to slip inside-
In the light of coming day.
...

The nomad curses sunlight,
He takes shelter under a cloud,
And gazes at the sky,
Waiting the stars to shine.
...

My long sari,
An overlapping image with my body,
Floats in front of your eyes,
In a luring sensation above and below nakedness,
...

The intimacy of your tears
With the loneliness of my days
Cannot comprehend why
I am alone in a city of crowds.
...
