A small collection of poems
evolved during a period
from 2002 to 2006 |
1. Roomful Perfidies The room is fable with double ending. Smiles here, traffic signals mere. There gentles sit To lie themselves, acting fancies. And some starving- To see day dreams. An old spits to feed his ants Another loves his lambs, But knows all to butchers. Ladies lost their lateral looks, One plays with; Deemed it dragonflies. In roaring sea dumb drops died many! Our castles, Just in cards, know now. And me; buried in air-open eyed; Mourns, within heart-laughs! 2. Infinity Blue depth-endless! Hug me, into your dreams- Like a blue mermaid! Your thrilled ecstasies Your maddening sighs! Love, let me add! Just a leap, then - Freedom With quivering hands waiting! There, in depth, life pulses When breathless love whirls. Playing on my hair, You, a fragrance near. Enters my vein And in me keeps pain. That tiny pearl inside Pumps a slender flow Streams through the red soil Searching the end in endless! 3. Seventh side of cubes A peak moment, I want Those trees and leafy twigs poke inside As this light, which, now- Corrodes me slowly. My magic men on mossy wall Still play their transmigration But I’m bored! A peak moment, I unheard- A ‘Sylvia’ and her ‘Electra-oven’. I tried, to overcome- The simplest ‘KCN goldsmiths’ Parallel lines drawn on chirking bed, A taut rope among leafy whispers- ‘Maniacs or phobiacs?’- Question- But I’m getting- A peak moment, head- Nodding as an idiot-I felt absurd! Placed it on my front legs Like a cat, just to sleep- While thinking a mischief to commit. There are holes, always on sides Through one I thought a dog- Outside, wearing only freedom! This peak moment, I wish All outside collapse in a wild crash A devilish excitement, But, that too won’t work! I know, there’s a side opened-ever, An escape from cubes The seventh side Still unseen! 4. Latecomer Stella Maria came in, timeless- Vigorous wind, upturned all stillness! Already had stopped- Heart its beating. I kicked it hard to wake up Just to beat- In resonance- Dancing taps- Of her slender legs. We all, shaken off something! Wanton eyes were swinging On her hips in Negro drums wild rhythm Tried I A breath, as she passed Female pungency, her own live. Her black conjurers Sowed smiles around Sprouted as shivering spines. Stillness torn apart Dissolved in past air A far away voice- Someone preaching- But, all freed from! 5. Inbetween Dead; Then, I walked along woods- In merry moods of pain Lone, narrow, with yellow rustles- The winding fairy serpent! Long evening shadows- Tattooed thin curves-her charm! All saffron covered, in cool sunlight. Hollow birds screamed above I know, I didn’t hear. Withered smell- Of lovable, dreamable night With sad ravished stems- Wild jasmines; I’m sure! Buzzing drops somewhere Nauseous- As tongue’s sad remembrance! Small happy darknesses sprouting From the roots of pining ivies Before that, my next death- With this yellow golden drop. On her orangeness, I kiss On black split-tongue, I lick- hisses! And then white sharpness inside On its edge, my nectar The dangling drop with- World upside down! 6. Dropout Down there - town’s flow Evening passes in stumbling rush. ‘A noisy river of bubbles’ She loved as if to me. I felt but more like flood. Gloom spreading around us She smiled: ‘I’ll dive into.’ I didn’t smile- a breath apart. So, silent she dived into - alone. One more bubbles, violet?- Indiscernible. Now I blink at the blue thickens: Was really one with me? Weren’t I alone?- No remembrance, An ecstasied amnesia- Still shadows spreading over. Me, jus’ wanna dive Evanescent love at hesitation, Frozen moment,- airy heaven! Then, glide down’n’ flow- Back to the shade of yellow lamp! 7. Disillusioned Illusion I felt their calm length- As gloomy mountain hairpins! Sharp edge thrilled into- Deep, velvet rainforest. An old marble floor-with Gazal-dripping goblets and maids. A battle rained outside- lone! All I heard, a soft breath murmur- In glacier deserts Igloo caves frozen Over the small lamp and me Only the flame trembled. Once lone neighbours in air Whispered (me) of their death Their clouds hovered But like shelter less nostalgia Next, I was an escaped, I ran and ran and ran- They chased on to decapitate- But never! Once in a sugar cane field We worked, and her voice I couldn’t hear, but felt Just only felt! And we were on a road She vanished, as I turned To see only a leafs rustled! An orphan smile hung on. The train ran along steppes A lone wind rippled over grass But that vast sea- I never felt. Now suddenly, In this desert of Mars- My infinite loneliness! I scream to change dream: On a white desert- A lone letter crawls Try to catch- slips out- (quiverish hand) And I scream on and on- Never echoes in deserts! |
