Prayer

O my Lord

Please grant me 

Some prolongation

No, I’m not afraid of death

And definitely wish to

Submerge forever in

The silent relief

Of your cool comfort

But still

Just for a little while more

Let me experience this

Heartless callous world

So that

I don’t feel like

Coming here again!

Dodo

Water water everywhere

Not a drop on its wing

Golden dodo soars high

In dark gray sky

Worry not give time

Damp patch to dry

On the ceiling

And on the lung

May it sound funny, honey

But what really matters

Is money

Coma

                                                     
                                                     
                                                               Memories’ quartz

Dust of time,

Quiet flows

Rivulet of images,

Ardours plash

And feelings gale,

Dreams murmur

Desires stretch.

Between us but

Icicles in coma!

You are missed

The wind is naughty today again

feebly teasing sometimes

uncouthly caressing the chime

And it is responding too

not in rapturous pleasure

but in painful sighs

They feel your absence

and miss you perhaps.

Or do I?

क्रश / Crush

मन एकाकी प्यासा

मौसम की अठखेलियाँ

मैं  हूँ इन पर मरता

Ache lonely listless

Tantrums of Elements

I adore You!

*True that tantrums and  अठखेलियाँ  are not synonymous but a mere translation couldn’t have replaced the other here..

Perennial

Will the Ganga defile

If I end

My life in it

To reunite with Thee?

Why no my soul

Is too pure

To pollute it

For the moments it remains

In there..

And the biodegradable body

Will satiate the fish

Within couple of hours.

Ah but for the stent

In my heart

And the ache!

Paris blasphemy

The ping of bullets

lulled the tinkle of Champagne flutes

Took over the lilt of violin

the booming  guns

The red wine oozed

out of burgundy lips

To mahogany ceiling

the caviar flung

chanel No.5 reeked

of blood smoke

Stunk of burnt flesh

Pour Homme

The half written poem

Dried in fingers

The song in throat

got strangled

Breath in breath

Whirring hearts

Abrupt silence..

Paris blasphemy! 

* This poem is dedicated to peace loving people all over the world, and is my tribute to innocent victims of the atrocities of extremists.

Fodder

Jaded are my eyes and gorged brain

Oh so badly I need something to sustain

No placebo I crave for, give me a balm..

Who feeds on cartfuls of fodder?

I thrive on a pearl on an ivory palm!

Between the Sheets

We both vulnerable

To each other

Not a stitch in defense

And who needs it?

I explore.. you elude

you oblige.. I cajole

I seek you grant

And then play pricey

Intertwined in each other

The whole night

My poem and me

Between the sheets of paper!
