ठूँठ

कोयल रोये

कितने पेड़ कटे

ठूँठ उदास

Stealth

Don’t say anything

And just listen

To rustling summer leaves  

Or Ravi Shankar’s sitar

Or lub dub of a lusty heart

Don’t say anything

And just behold

A mellow sunset

Or a Van Gogh

Or limpid pools of eyes

Don’t say anything

And just inhale

First rain on dry earth

Or a Marques de Riscal

Or a warm carnal breath

Don’t say anything 

And just relish

A cool spring draught

Or an intense Keats

Or a quivering eager lip

But please don’t say anything

..words pollute!

PS: In this poem I have used four external stimuli (senses) and three objects (nature/art/physical) to be repeated under each for a resonating effect. Wanted to include the fifth too but then decided against it to avert fleshiness…
