Haiku-2

Soaring high
scenting surrounding
prayer….

Dry seashore
next jumpy kiss
waiting……

Fairy sky
red moon
married…….

Wedded path
widowed trees
autumn ….

Haiku-1

Enveloped body
excavated stomach
hungery person….

Torrent of water
huts on sail
delhi-slums….

He met her
she embraced him
meeting……

Rush of wheels

crush of lives
(delhi) blue-line blues…..

Poor sex-worker

to see the light
she sells her night
to fend her living
she vends her body
fade of age and furnished skin

discarded with disease
to tighten the (suicide) knot
she alights her head…..
poor sex-worker……..

Life, a Journey

Life, a journey
A life-long journey
Beginning with an end
Beginning of the end!!!

Walk the way
With care
Stage by stage
Step by step

Among the people
Along the way
Be with some
Together we move

Munching memories
Shouldering sorrows
Miles to go
Mind, to move
Heart, to halt
What to do?
Wait a minute.

Stop by the listening tree
Chat with her
Sitting at resting-stone
Relax a while.

Sit.
Chat.
Relax.
Refresh.
Renew the walk.
Miles to go……

Walk the way
Tired, exhausted?
Say No to fume and fury
Next-stop ahead……

Sit by the listening tree
Chat.
Relax.
Refresh.
Renew the walk…….
Till reach the goal……….
