As soft as a fluttter
of a butterfly
on my dew-moist skin
triggering
...
A tiny bird
chestnut coat,
crimson crest,
hops from branch to branch
...
That chance meeting
the very first one
tickles me
till today.
...
The joy you unleash
is celestial,
which heart will not flutter
at the sight of your vibrant
...
Never before
have I witnessed,
such a breath-taking
constellation,
...
Verses have stood me in great stead....in joys, in tears, giving me both calm and repose. I have inconsolably cried as well as merrily danced in them....over the years...earlier as a student and now as a Tax administrator for Government of India.Poems are a refuge as well as a release. Whatever touches...gushes out in verses!)
Duality
There is
me,
well draped,
restrained,
sophisticated,
cultured,
happy,
prosperous,
not erring
anywhere,
oh!
there is me,
gross,
erratic,
vicious,
envious,
who cries on
petty losses
irrelevant defeats
who is scared
and insecure,
trembling
when lonely,
why,
why do I laugh
when in reality
I am crying,
how long
these pretences
how long this duality,
this Dr Jekyll
Dr Hyde,
this saying
again and
again,
hopelessly,
it is alright
it is alright!
