Love! Where Are You

You left!
I wept!
I love you!
I can feel
Your love too
Even miles apart
I know too well that
Love is that of heart
But, but, but,
What to do?
Body aches! ! ! !

Roots

My roots
are so great
So upright
They are the legends
Our ancestors left
There is no way
I can dig out
To hold them tight
I am supposed
To ascend
they're our
buttresses

Remote

a remote farm-house
power goes off and you're scared
when crickets screech ‘seize'

you grope for a match-box
and find it nowhere, when enters
your room a glow-worm

Isms

Caught in ‘ism’ cage
On the world I gaze
Shadows of my cage; blaze

Erase ‘isms’
Raze down
Refracting prisms
See then
Oneness blossom;
Truth wholesome
Come to vision

Silence

You kept a long silence
I too maintained the same sense
What an impasse, incising the loving hearts
Next meeting may be really exciting
But! Alas! waiting is always excruciating

Happy New Year

Let the dawn
of New Year glow
In a divine halo
Let our minds buoy
in peace and joy
Like free flying doves
In the skies of love
Ushering into an era
Full of promise
and bliss

Auction

New clearance sale! ! !
Satan brokered the deal
A salvo from nuclear arsenal
Knocked down bid final
Mr. Hades clinched all
Body wrappers are buried
Spirits are…… under dispatch

Anger

Anger irks me!
I abhor persons
Who show tantrums

Not that I don’t get angry
I too loose temper
At timid lambs
Those who bend their heads
To butcher’s knife,
Without a fight

Fall Guy

People make fun at me
My eyes glassy; nose stubby
Skin inky and body burly
A fall guy I am
An ugly effigy; a zany!

I too boo at Almighty

'Hey! You went astray!
While shaping my clay! ! '

Pet Snakes

Suckle with milk
Snakes don’t thank
Sting your own nipples
Buck up recusants
They kick your own backs

Friends of abutting tract
Beware of abetting freaks
First sparks start
In your own park
