SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR Poems

Hero of the Kaurava, Duryodhana
(In The epic Mahabharata) was
An authentic English man
Original name was Deon Jordan.
...

Just a few moments ago
Biting my neck with sharp teeth dragged me
in a shadowy shrubbery.
...

A cracked head of a futile poet carved on stone
laid under transparent water;
Covered by moss,
On the eyelid aquatic saplings produced
...

What is to be said
Scattered on the grasses, dust, on the ways
What is not to be said
Arranged high in the night-sky
...

Title-role simpering
Laughing...
Talking...
Roaming around -
...

Ho seductress; O pretty...
Neglect me; Tread down me;
Trifle me Desired to be in tranquillity...
...

Words arranged outspokenly
Not jargonic
As such not accomplished as poem
No intricacy
...

A tune -Bangal Vairab - not necessary Komal Risav
A consciousness - a clumsy old ox havinng long neck
A subject - colourful poisonous sea of happiness, sob
A boat - floating on incessant flow silenced uncheck.
...

Newly sprouting of the bottle-green bo-tree leaves register …
Sun-rays compose poems with golden ink in the morning.
Usual words-emotion-style scattered around on the dust
On the bight of the river, sloped of the mountain of the spring
...
