In a frozen month of December-
A window was left ajar
I couldn't hear the whisper on my door-
A breeze of chrysanths--
Singing too loud

She waited patiently--
The Sun was yet to go down
Trembling mortality--
Her crow cried out a lullaby

I wish I were deaf-
I wouldn't be dwelling
Beneath the ground
But the Sun had to set-
To rise on the other side

Life: A Play
An uncertain Curtain frees—
The Spirit of Remorse
We— on the front seat—
Try to sit— untouched—

And, the Darkness engulfs
Our Brains— the easy hosts—
For we abandoned—
The Light of Blunder—

The Vision—
Leaps out and flees— the Play
Oh! Poor Souls—
The Play plays like a stream—

Then, the Souls in the Heavenly Ocean—
Regretting— the lost Spirit—
Vacate their seats—
And mourn for the closed Curtain

Old work

When you are into someone--
You don't count the falling leaves--
Whether gold, red or brown
Your heart comes at a standstill--
In the calm brush of a breeze--
With the fragrance of love--
That shows the promised land of the Autumn

Hopes are fading
Snow has frozen the rose
The warmth that I keep under the root--
May go deep--
As the winter grows--

Back to the spring of Feb--
Shining red-clad from head to toe;
My eyes went blank--
But I never fell with leaves--
though I didn't count the rest--

Summer was sweet;
Still painted in red
Budding warmth;
Brightened rose
What else could I wish for?

Wish I could dig deep--
At least up to six feet--
Shivering heart; no clothes
Wish I could see again--
Under the November rain--
The blooming rose

Hunt me down--
With the sharp curve
of your soul
Let me be the smell of your prey--
It's the only fragrance of my love

A jillion Caskets--
Empty--
The seedlings of poppies--
Hiding--
Beneath the Ashes of a Phoenix

In me, you'll find--
A jillion Caskets--
Empty--
The seedlings of poppies--
Hiding--
Beneath the Ashes of a Phoenix

The voice of silence--
Dreadful--
For God's image--
With the heavy tread--
In a windless night--
When Heaven whispers--
Her secret plan

Our love-bed was still warm
But--
Our hearts became cold
The house you always wished for--
Turned out to be a graveyard--
Of two starving ghosts...

The Heroes of two homes

In Their Eyes--
Lie two homes--
One-- to say goodbye--
And one to hum--
"The Last Post"

With every boot mark--
The Sirens sing--
With each drop--
Of the red wine--
A poppy grows

With a weary smile--
They saw the sunset glow--
Fallen-- never broken--
The Heroes--
Of two homes

(An old work)

Hold me tight--
Till my soul melts down--
Lay with me--
Till my heartbeats--
get lost in your rhythm
Kiss me--
Till I forget every taste
I've ever known

Look at the sky--
What do you see?
The Dusk laying in ambush--
Or, a tiny piece of the Baked-Sun--
Lost in serendipity--

Look at the Ocean--
What do you feel?
A cursed breeze of Nowhere--
Or, a divine wave tickling your toes--
In the eternal reservoir of possibilities--

Quiet--
Oh! So quiet--
Are you on the Ship of Death
Or, your heart is at peace?

The smile on her lips--
Opulent--
Yet, the talisman--
The fruit of Hades--
Yet, the Heavenly felicity

The seers of Brains--
Take pride in their--
Tyrannic threads of Whim--
Unravelled from--
The primordial cocoon--
And gradually--
Reweaving the Eden--
Into Pompeii

When I see no way out--
I untie the feathers of hope
And let it sing--
The only tune it knows--
That keeps my soul
Free from--
The Cage of all uncertainties

Whatever I wish to say--
Often fall in my oblivious smile--
That you always read--
Like a book with torn out pages

When Faith seduces

When Faith seduces--
We forsake our souls--
To listen to her beguiling whispers
Our brains-- buried in eternal oblivion--
Oh! She's such an enchantress--

The Prisoners-- in her "cave"--
Chained to the "shadow" of hope--
Our eyes locked in hers--
As she frees us to roam the world--

Some crave her whispers for eternity--
But some come out of deep slumber--
As an owl hoots at the mouth--
They forgo the endless pleasure--
Of her mystic body
