    MY WORLD

    my world is just beginning
    it's here to stay
    my home is here in this open space
    under the blue sky

    in equality and the war
    a sense of defeat and utter chaos,
    poisoned relationship,
    with envy and narrowness,

    to go out from this
    all the earnest answers
    touch on the
    soft plane of the grass line.

    a new life that shines,
    melody and harmony in tune
    with the rhythm and texture,
    nothing weighs on, fly things

    my soul is awash with moments of
    transient beauty and with love,
    its light, its cadence floating
    never draped, never fall apart

    ………………………………………………………………………………..







    INTENSE

    Unlaced the tiny stars
    Grey sultry afternoon
    Spilling dry leaves,
    Sadhus preaching love
    Clouds whirling in white
    Deeply felt,
    Shadows hang from the above
    On the stock market board.

    Music in silence
    The fragrances come back
    From the soft blossoms,
    Charcoal sky whispers
    Love and hatred,
    One line at a time,
    Ether waves stroke the fire
    In some sections of the branch.

    A lonely child descend from
    The concrete stairs
    Caged and tamed the soul,
    Come home, shaky bones
    Round drops of tears fall on the
    soft pile of earth,

    steam rises from the chimney
    to the edge of the slope
    the gleam of a distant cafe
    not knowing the property
    of assured calmness,
    of strange power dynamics
    that changes day and night.
    …………………………………………………………………………………








    UNSHED TEARS

    I am wondering whether
    They can hear
    The slow humming
    In the early morning.

    While they floated by
    Walk and walk,
    The soil underneath
    Passed into the fiery, steely path.

    They bring water
    from the distant well,
    thin hair, the skin dry on bones.
    Sparks never step into the flame.

    Their young masters
    Can shout but not sing,
    Tossed and clapped around,
    Their mothers can do neither.

    The whining wheel of the
    The daily express,
    With eyes closed
    They stare at the cruel sun.

    In summer evening or
    Under winter light
    They melt into their
    Unshed tears.

    ……………………………………………….
