Spring Poetry Rain Anthology

We Divide

Threads of confusion
We weave ourselves.
The birth defines
The sectarian pigeon holes.
The skin, the colour
And the decorated body
Win the position
Of the confused kingdom.
We  prefer to stay on the piles
Of the garbage of arguments
And design our society  
Of a fragmented  mirror.
At a distant corner
The dog reviews the civilization:
It is better to born as animal
And be proud to live
In a natural naked form.

***************
The Mad Ghost

The turmoil is whirled
Like a wild storm
Overflowing the width
Of the treasured river.
Value of culture is washed away
To destination unknown  
And the noise injured
The serene silence.
Rushing against the wind,
The brightness of virtue struggles
With the extinguished strength.
The war is lost
On the fractured  ground and
Lightning of the last scream
Is fired behind the bituminous cloud.

The Widow



The bright day is faded. Her dreams could live momentarily. Like night jasmine, she couldn’t see the beauty of the light.

the light
extinguishes with
turn of time
the sun sets well before as
eclipse darkens her journey

It becomes a tough time in India, loosing better half at an early age, particularly in remote rural area. Glamour of life is shadowed under the veil of simple white cotton. She has to lead a lonely life. She tends to keep herself away from any auspicious ceremony as some people feel the physics of shadow of the widow is different indeed!

fate of life
sails in loneliness
talking to herself
she gathers the memories
as the echo lingers in silence


(Atlas Poetica 11, March, 2012)


dense forest—
there is still light
between shadows

*****
harvest season--
the girl paints a
golden moon

*****
Sunday morning--
vendor’s voice carries
my old memories

*****
flow of river--
I gather wisdom
at every turn

*****
dusky moon--
the wilted flowers
on footpath

Spring rain--
cherry blossoms on
meandering flow

lonely woman—
midnight moon sails
with clouds

*****
broken moon--
pelted stones
rest in calm

weather cock--
my finger points at
the north star

stepping down
from the hill top--
away from God

*****
undulated surface--
rain takes care to
fill the gaps

open sky--
the dove wings the
freedom journey

recalling my  school Madam
convocation day

red moon
a cosmic painting
in progress

*****
fallen leaves—
collecting colors
with the moon

*****
midnight moon,
I talk to myself…
a hidden audience

*****
maiden steps
proud new parents
on the moon

museum hall—
bullets sound
in silence

*****
between breathes—
smiling Buddha’s
incarnation

deep dark space
many cosmic townships
with their own light

tender bud--
the light buried
under darkness

barren field--
grass grows slowly
next morning
