The electricity
Of my village
Used to go
With the rain,
...
The leaf
spoke of the art of floating,
the luxury of freedom,
before the fall.
...
I took a brush
And colours of course
This morning, as I do daily,
To paint the rest of your heart
...
Throw up your emotions a moment
So that I may catch
The profile of your dreams
Etched in the well of your heart
...
I tasted
The coffee of your absence
Spiced up with
The pepper of thy memories
...
You called me thief
When I forgot two flower kisses
Upon your eyes at night.
...
In the night last past
I lost my pencil
While a female thought hit me.
...
It is supposed that
Love is sprouted,
Once the physically challenged words
Pass through the straight line
...
One among my kisses
Killed himself
And swelled up as a pimple
Yesterday.
...
You are the inn I rest
After the exploration
Of thousands of miles
Through the corridors
...

The Rain And The Electricity
The electricity
Of my village
Used to go
With the rain,
Whenever the rain called her-
They were in love.
It seems
They are married-
No call of the rain
tempts her now.
