May Day and Insomnia
A bucket full of roasts…..
A bunch of golden rose…
A burning desire to live….
Those unfinished stories of yester years
Tearing hearts …or frozen tears….
A bit of hungry terrors
But not of shaken hopes,
Love to read then when explain in our teens: “…. miles to go before I sleep …”
Still I’m running
And
They’re working…..
And unchained century ripples
Hisss hisss hisss….

Need a Life
Need a life to see
Another to watch
Perceive in a new
Then realize in one,
Still
In this incarnation
Only feel the same
Isn’t it really luxury to give birth to them?
And get attacked
While observe the game
Fields be green or grey
Bright or barren
But crops and corpses play there again.

Yokoso*
Welcome dear poet
Welcome to the city
The city of drought n dream n frantic– fidelity
Where crowds are burdened, cold n clean
Still they survive, with dagger or deen*
Where venom climbs like vines
Where poem dives into dime,
Come to the heart of the city
Where dyeing leaves look crazy
Can’t break the rules of heaven
Smile while smell what u inhale
No trauma no drama they know
Roots are fixed, they learn how to flow,
Come dear poet
Welcome to my city
Where life is gorgeous, n light broken shadows look pretty
Come, just embrace the warmth of its joy
Night posts may fear but stone, paper, scissors aren’t toys?
Write your verse, the ‘vasan’* of the truth
Where poetry brings tears to a Ruth!
