Seema Jayaraman Poems

Cranky
Cacophony -
Criquers
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

leisurely paddle
Pool of lapis lazuli
splash - high dive
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

Cry-nums pretty pink
Belle, unmask banners large
Trumpets loud in face
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

Red orb spin in sky
Man on earth mesmerized -
Seek life 'Man gal yaan'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
...

Besides the grey fireplace
Of a cold desolate house
sitting on the cold stone
At the foot of the bare hearth
...

You say you saw through the pretense
the calm demeanor belied the storm
churning raging deep inside
the depths tumbled and plumbed
...

Passion is like
rat-a-tat of rapid bursts
from an automatic rifle
fast, furious, rain deadly
...

Spun sap silk
Dishabille now embraced
embosomed - Cocoon
- - - - - - - - - -
...

For now I serve
my deep emotions
'piping hot' unseasoned
fresh off my hot head
...
