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!
