EMBRACE

I embraced you 

outstretching my hands, somewhere 

in an open air 

with the force of my will; that 

one day

you will understand 

the pauper's plight, and 

resurface 

giving an eye 

to my dream 

BRIDAL NIGHT

Hoary air

of the silent moon 

breeze through

a cold winter night 

and 

paw her silvery feet

on the roof

where a lone chair 

withered by loneliness 

tout it's listlessness

to gain love

with widow of the sky

round of face 

in this bridal night 

PAIN, MY COMPANION

Pain, my sweetest companion

Where the deepest treasure, throng

Bickering, life's daily chorus;

Eternal dreams soar in salvation

May they see it writhe and wriggle 

Pain has seven wings to Phoenix 

Beating, a line to cardiogram;

Resuscitation opened up the skies

Tears ply a corner into minions eyes

While the ocean, weave an eternal wave 

Pain, O my pain; trudge me away

to the land of an eternal bliss

SEVEN MUSCLES TO CHIRP

I chirp 

rolling my beaks

like a toddler

hopping an ounce of earth, 

popping a bloom to the skies

I willed

seven muscles 

to strength upon me

and fledge me a flight

nesting into clouds 

Time wings

a future in me 

curving space 

to ping pong 

One hop this, one pop that 

PERCHANCE

A begger am I

In drudgery, that I hump 

your days and nights

in utter vagrancy 

I troll myself dark and ugly

cave by cave

Destitute, 

I feed my broken heart 

with a lust of your invisibility 

Why distance me 

In your higher abode 

A saviour to my heart 

O kindred spirit

of my flesh and blood 

take perchance to meet me somewhere

MAKE A ROAD

Paint you not 

Brushing the saddness within;

Don't you see the canopy

Azuring the skies, above

Enliven not 

The moments pause within;

Invision a look 

That the journey never stops 

Quill your strength 

As whole life accure on you;

Fret your heart 

With His eternal symphony

Forego your past 

That rue on you;

Take all, with cudgel in your hands

Make a road, where roads are none

CRUSHED ATOMS

A vacuum, lust 

upon the cracking walls

that

through it 

I can feel an image 

ghostly in your weariness 

treadings your silent feet into me -

crushed atoms 

buzz 

with thousand wings 

into my inner space 

I REMAIN ALONE

I remain alone

vigilant;

in this sleepless night 

Where the leaves fall

the stars conflate into a dawn

And, snub my 'self' around 

myriad of thoughts 

leaving me, hanging 

into the past

Rippling my heart 

of my lonely wish, and

giving chance to someone

in wonder that he will regale 

simmering of his both eyes

BLIND HAZE

Inspite of blind haze

my sturdy eyes, shifted

it's stand

towards

flesh of an image, curved

out of the dark

and

belying my senses

rallied towards the horizon 

not with a walk or any flight whatsoever;

as she left

trailing behind

mountain of shadows 

disintegrated into a lot

and

in a flicker

vanished into the oblivion

oblivious of it's happening

and, a wolf

up of head

Howling all night along

tresspassing her whereabout 

BLIND STICK

What pain

you field me, across 

my greenery

All relationship

sward a dust

to my heart

heavy with silent beat

Many a kith and kin 

take wings of their

allotted time

in a fur of heavenly pass 

I only remain

barren of supple hands, and

a soft kiss

As I bend helpless 

walking my blind stick

I grope my fingers 

for a touch 

may be with longer hands 

He will come, and

artifice my walk from here 

REVERED NAMELESSLY

How lovingly thee post photoes daily
How thee own, sipping inside every character
How child like thee called us from the 'Diaas'
Tears overpower my feelings

How gracefully I have seen you walking around
How as guardian you looked after our needs
How thy heart speaks the language of hearts
My respects touch thy feet

How wondrously thee pen thy poems daily
How I wonder the healing touch on patients heart
How thy hair blush a beauty on thy face
My bearing take essence on you

How I name thee, whose name abounds
How I crave the oeuvre in your composure
How fatherly you are pride of son and daughter

My reverence take a bow, nameless

प्रहरी

कौन  प्रहरी खड़ा है 
गोधुली  आशांत  लिए 
मन  मास्तिस्क मैला  कर
कपाल  असीम  लिए 

यौवन को  वृध कर
सिन्दुर सजाये माथे पर 
कौन  है वहाँ , अनन्त
लालिमा का प्रकार लिए 

वज्रपात हो रही 
अंधकार अशांती में
कौन  है भौ सिकोड़े

असंख्य  भान  लिए

UNALLOYED VISION

I begged nothing

in my supplication 

though

mummified hands

trailed my hollow eyes 

from my grave -

an unalloyed vision

piercing darkness with purity 

THY OWN

Come hither

by thy glorious means

taking a strand of thy whiff, and

sublime an essence 

into my being;

as 'm not alone 

in here, but 

there too, that

You also must be

taking pride 

in prizing me thy own 

RUSTED; FROM THE WINDOW SILL

Onerous thoughts  

dig me colourless

from an open window

depoting me 

towards a deeper unknown

tithering painful

a part of me -

a bait

of an open space, as

hinges creak

a louder cry, rusted;

from the window sill 

FLOW OF LOVE

Nature can not be envious

of an extra heart

pumping more love to 

ailing humanity

The witness

that truce my destiny

bettering the life on Earth

age with infinity

The movement, that

play motion all around

can not be bashing 

meandering flow of the river

RICHNESS

I furrow my eyes, deep

under the thached roof

of my tattered old hut

to seed my imagination, that

a bunch of pale straw 

have made a tunnel of poverty

passing through many holes -

a safer passage 

to redeem an hour of richness 

looking at the skies 

PINCH ON ME

It is stretching a longer time now; that

I can see

you are holding a glass of water

in your trembling hand

abating your warm breath

what ails you 

my dear!

That

which was His 

have already taken a longer flight, towards...

It pains me

to see you thus.

Come, 

Let us unburden our hearts

You take muted residence

spreading stillness around.

Take a pinch on me

doing away your worries

SILENT BAIT

Lonely night

bait silently 

the melancholy of my heart

hammering a beat 

with uneven thoughts 

whence you come

heading your horns

to bleat me unattended

deeper into the night -

An unholy creature 

I fear not, but

Your fear on me

Revengeful 

I lock my horns 

Fighting to my last breath

TAKE A LEAP

Take a leap 

on your self 

spreading your wings

that

which takes on himself

tread the path to glory

where the moon shy, and

sun hid under your span 

SILENT BAIT

Lonely night

bait silently 

the melancholy of my heart

hammering a beat 

with uneven thoughts 

whence you come

heading your horns

to bleat me unattended

deeper into the night -

An unholy creature 

I fear not, but

Your fear on me

Revengeful 

I lock my horns 

Fighting to my last breath

DEAD SENTENCES

The meaning of the word changed

oddly in its inception

saying the unsaid;

as I wrote 

with an ink of my blood

birthing my flesh -

placenta ruptured 

in a still birth 

Hark!

Vultures are scavenging the prey.

Words are no words 

as meanings are 

all effusive of dead sentences 

REALITY

Pour scorn on your knowledge

if it dares to inter you 

not through your heart, but

by the scourge of your mind

as those skins, that

prime on its colour and thinness

pride only on your externals.

That which flows insipient

marrow inside you bones

Therein resides

The reality

Of which you must 

Churn your heart, intreating;

With passion and supplication 

towards His higher abode

DEAD HAND

I pass a dead hand 

on myself

like a long branch 

broken down into the air

searching for its trunk;

and to feel the shiver

of its painful demise;

sans whole, and thereafter 

DARK CREVICES

It mushroomed afar

A tree dread

vision of the dark -

Fear was all 

till the thunder 

spooned a silver 

and

Rained nothing, but

Crippled dreams

and

Crawling creatures

from the dark crevices

of my heart

TO HURL STONES

Take persuance on me, a stone;

Softer, in touch of your hands.

Silently I lay on the road

Rubbing bad breath all my sides

I weep not of my own 

Sturdy of heart.

But when stray dogs pee on me, or

Vehicles leak gasoline in greasy uniform

All bonding

Filial of all skies, are

Rounding solar heights

I only lay perplexed open eyes on the road

What is this 

So hard inside me 

That men use 

To hurl stones on others

AN INK OF MY NIGHT

A momentous pause

Foego my silence;

No different than the breath 

Lost into the peel of life 

The cry pale 

Wailing my heart out;

No different than the howl

Lost into deeper space

Deepening an ink of night

I write the story of my life

Where doors are against

The path that I traded 

GAZE

I croak, a hoarse

Deep seated voice, bulbous;

From the stagnant water

Bulging my toad eyes 

to gaze the gauze

Lining thinnest

between

the sky that I see above, and

the blue, that

mirror flat on the water surface 

RELATIONSHIP

A footed image, invisible

longer of legs and tensile;

steps in, marching

through the window of my closed eyes

sliding down me

from the strange skies

habitated with familiarity -

its own kind 

taking a sip

on me -

my another kind,

a non human form

doting his filial relationship

PORTRAIT

Your golden beam, ring

freshness 

round my face

in fretting heights

no less purer

than the rustling leaves

breezing a secret whisper 

to my crumpled heart 

painted in yellow -

Van Gogh sunflower 

Your joyful brush, paint

orche of earth 

over me

in much on my blank canvas

no less parted

than the azure of skies 

mirroring an echo

deeper down 

towards an ocean bed -

His mystical portrait

LEDGER OF LOVE

Love is that potion, that

heal every wound 

with its necterine drop 

and supple hands 

Every beat of my heart

Furrow my deeper urge

to sprout love

to all barren lands 

May you be not here

to keep my deeds, but

Hark, I know all your ledger

that details every act of my love

PAPER BOAT

Very eagerly

I waited for my thoughts

to fold into a paper boat

and transverse, towards

an ocean extent 

But, lo

the sooner I 

Started the journey

It soaked me

with high waves

Plunging me

towards a deeper unknown
