Between You and Me: VI

You did
What you thought
Was right

I did
What I thought
Was right

Just as two negatives
Make a positive
Won't two positives
Make a negative?

Of Flower And Bud

said scattered petals
'i was a flower y'day! '
wind blew them away!

said today's bud
'i'll be a flower tomorrow! '
dream floating in eyes!

Modern Day Predicament

busy busy...
over wht?

still to figure out...

meanwhile,

granules of powdered time
simply slip out through fingers!

A Poem That Morphed Me

Charcoal black the sky
Tickling the breeze.

I morph into
A fragile rain-drop
I morph into
A delicate sapling

and
I morph into
A dancing peacock

Essence Of Creation

in the womb of the seed
is concealed the thought
from the thought springs
nectar of life eager to
sprinkle itself on the earth

The Destination

On the highways of destiny
Travels this faltering vehicle
The route-map hazy

The destination behind
Following like a shadow

For Him I Know Not: Xv

that fleeting moment
when my heart flows into yours
i again become you

every ticking
reinforces heart's rhythm
your name echoes

Touch-me-not

axe me
i care not

trample on me
see how i spring back…

but

touch me tenderly
i curl into myself
as the touch-me-not…

So Goes...

One step forward
One step backward
In a straight line
Or a crooked line
In circles and squares
In jerks
In faltering steps

So goes
And so we reach...

The Tree

Under the kadamba
I stand

Under the tree
I bury
My burdens

Under the tree
I hear
The melody of love

Under the tree
I wait

My feet
Orange and yellow
