Let not life's love
Breathe its last -
Ever.
Keep our love's flame
...
A poet I'm not, not always, not every day.
Reluctant and rare my poems come to me,
At times, not even welcome, to me.
One knock I hear, faint yet clear.
...
Myths of yester-years, epics of tomorrow;
With the day intervening,
The bridge that sings
Of past - days, places and people:
...
Ah, death!
So interesting!
No.
Sad, quite tragic, in fact
...
It's long past twelve,
A June afternoon,
No monkeys, nor dogs any
Dare roam around or walk,
...
Stories all by compulsion,
Are set at some location.
So, ours in Kashi begins.
He was before too,
...
Angry river rises rows of steps, breaks bounds.
Wild wind blows, slaps water, makes sounds:
Lapping, fluid, disturbing, disturbed sounds.
Silence then breaks. Whirling waves no more tame,
...
The air I breathe in, and space in thirteen dimensions, you
Fill my waking thoughts and dreams, day and night.
That question resurfaced, the question of intense passions
...
Mourn for the departed glory.
For poems that left earth
Unheard, unsung.
