haiku-4 (surrogate mother)

dark tunnel
permanent power-cut
abortion.....

high marketability
womb for sale
mother-discount.....

hire for a child
get one free
womb for sale....

rooted somewhere
planted somewhere
mother-nursary...

haiku-3

in love.....

her eyes speaks
his heart lisens
in love....

his heart speaks
her eyes tear
in love....

she speaks nothing
he speaks neither
both listen in love....

paradox.....

A said to B
“Mr.C is no more”
A asked B
“When was he alive”
“Was he not dead than alive”

God is with U

in just way, U r with me,
in every way, U r with me.

lord i cry, without much try,
my tears dry, U r with me.

off the mark, i went away,
in stark dark, U r with me.

off the track, I travel,
bring me back, U r with me.

time to time, i fail U,
everytime, U r with me......

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……..
