The image of a nude woman has gone viral
In social media
Her beloved man
Has put under hammer
...
On the full moon night
The moon puts on the red dress
The eunuch nights lie still like a log
The moon embraces a heartful of unbearable sorrow
...
A vermilion evening
I came back
from that river side..
When I came back,
...
The rains clean up the morning
Breaking the pleasant drowsiness
Sprinkle dream in the field
...
Am wandering carrying a Sun in my heart
Sometimes getting singed in sunshine
Some other times enjoying its warmth
Wandering around
...
As the molested Earth weeps
The Sun fumes in fury
The rain revolts
Which place is free of molestation
...
I longed to meet you
Had I met you
I'd perhaps taken your hands
In my ensconced hands
...
Empty Circle
