The pretty princess comes out of her bath-
rejuvenating her royal blooded body,
covering it with a royal towel,
recitings of hymns in a prosody,
...
On the tiny bank of the mudpool,
the rainwater penetrates inside,
the lawn looks like thrown pyre
nothing remaining outside
...
Inside the bride's quarters
She sits ornamented
between the ladies of her forum
necklaces are heavy enough

My contemporary,
from Lambeth, London
Was four years younger to me,
...
Keats saw autumn, he's witness
to careless presence on granary floor
the hair lifted, dian skies
were poetic even then

They come when

Chess & Checkers: 2
In bedroom
when we play chess
I easily checkmate
you usurping the queen
in my dustbin
and you demand a pawn
Blackmailing me
your emotional atyachaar
is its cause
it's nothing luminous
and it is the silver jubilee
of your behaviour
I get inflicted and slap you and fight
when you address me a cheater-
a homonym of different meaning
just cares for the two kingdoms
standing in 64 squares
as they don't enjoy
your silver jubilee celebration
wasting their precious
time.
