Mirror

When jewels of time
spun behind the curtain of twilight
you appeared in the mirror

I stood in front of the mirror
little hesitated
to decipher that
I am standing on the threshold of time

When I looked at the mirror
the truth stared at me and asked
What are you imagining?

When I went close

Cyboo–gaboo!

Last night I woke up in sweat
I had a real bad dream
In terror I wet my pants
I saw Cyboo-gaboo

It kept chomping on my poems
Relentless like the great white
Crunching on my comments
Eating it all up! Cyboo-gaboo

It chased me around Sulekha
I hid under a couch
I closed my eyes and wished
It would just go away – More >

Pain

He clawed deep cuts into my soul,
while he clutched my heart,
that reckoned each beat
the pause of a pinprick grip.

Now we commune from a distance,
fiddling time and life
between our flavors,
that have sweetened so much.

FOR MY SISTER, THOUGHTS I MUSTER

You are wonderful
With a generous heart
I am very hopeful
That God will comfort

You are always accurate
In whatever you do
I must frankly state
That my words are true

You are nobly brave
In this way I observe
Surely God will save
As you really deserve

I beg you to include
God in your plan
By not being rude
Please love your man

My teacher

She came like an angel
To class and the Earth
She knows how the roman era fell
Right from her birth
————————————————————————————————————-
She knows math the best,
But she does teach Physics,E.V.S.
And puts our minds to the test
And relieves us of all stress
————————————————————————————————————-
She knows the pro’s and con’s
Of hindi literature
And like a fawn
She is a kind creature.
————————————————————————————————————-
Of computers she is More >

Friends, this is subtle translation of Hindi – poem Shanik- already posted earlier – reflection of the orignial one – near to subject but lacks the similarity of words …….
star of dawn,
though momentary,
its existence only paves way
for morning with golden rays
blessed soul – bestowed with grace
have no regrets for the life so More >

Close to Death!!

Rain drenched me, the showers hard
But never enuf to cover one from my eyes,
The earth under my feet, cud neva feel it
I feel light, falling down and down
Every inch of ma skin peeled off,
The heart never seemed to beat..!!
Screamed I, to find fire beneath
High and huge, burnt me in flash
Ashes flew across, I was no More >

A Flame…

 

The morning rain was splashing a downpour
Enthralling the emotions, of passion.
Someone with a sullen and sodden heart
Seeking the porthole of your mind.
Keep Love as an eternal flame, unstinted,
Engross in it, as much as possible.
Do not deviate from its path,
It is the source of boundless happiness.
My ever shining silver cloud!
The night has advanced to the wee
Hours More >
