Siren

It were the sirens

who had the hero in thrall

Sirens are now sounded

to keep the heroes pent up in their

600 square feet flats

Hah Ha

There they ponder over their tv sets

set their attention on the shaver

and the after shave lotion

And soon the after siren city

The poetry of the earth is never dead

True that the poetry of the earth is never dead

The grasshopper and the cricket testify that

But another great war will take place

It will a nuclear one I am sure

That will be the end of grasshopper and cricket

That will be the end of the poetry of earth

Presently with another great war

our dear earth will turn into a piece of charcoal in a moment

to dissolve in the space

Thank you Herr Einstein

Gulmohar's Seed-pods

gulmohar's seed-pods

since the advent of spring season in april

crores of blossoms of gulmohar

in waves after waves turned the tree top

in riotous red carpeting the green-

it is september; the tree looks plundered-

a few flowers here and there look weary too-

a hundred or so sheathed swords

I Have A Friend Who Keeps For Morrows

i have a friend who keeps for morrows

&

i have a friend deeply meditative

blessed with thoughtful writing-

his devotion to God so deep

that he talks in undertones

not to disturb Him even-

but one problem ever with him

he scarcely writes keeping it for morrows-

believes he would have verve and resolve

The Sweet Lass-Chandrakanta

The Sweet Lass—CHANDRAKANTA

The Magnetic Moon,
Is she aptly named;
For her innocent smile
In ICF she's famed.

Like a lovely creeper
Swaying in the breeze;
She is pretty sweeter,
For one's heart does squeeze,

The dark flowing tresses
In one long plait,
Swinging to and fro
With her swan-like gait:

Adorned with an aster
In all it's bloom;
She is sure an angel,

Walk of Venus

Walk of Venus

On the 6th of June 2012
We saw the Venus walk
And did verily talk
Of its transition
From its position
From one limb
Of the solar disc
To the other limb!

Ah! A rare alignment
And an extremely rare event!
An infrequent phenomenon!

This occurs
When ‘twixt the Earth and the Sun
Venus enchantingly strides
And as a black spot glides
On the face of the glaring Sun!

Duck

It is a white duck

During the rains a band of ducks afloat

against the cloud laden skies

only remind of the duck

The duck that wings unseen in the morning

and in the night

carrying the sunbeams and moonbeams

in its roseate beaks

The duck that lives on light

The duck that is the mount of Knowledge and Wisdom

Japan

America bombed Afganisthan

Nature has taken by tsunami

The first proposition is one of report

The second proposition forces us

to exclaim -Alas Alas

When Danton was dragged to the guillotine

he exclaimed-Hi Robespierre When are coming?

Soviet Russia went asunder thanks to Chernobyl

Japan is reeling in trauma

If Japan is out of breath

The fire and the water

The fire belongs to heaven

It was stolen by Prometheus

and was brought to the earth

The fire however always wants to

go back home in the skies

The flames always clamour for that

looking up with hissing tongue

The fire seeks to burn the earth into ethereal heaven

The water belongs to the earth

The demon Vritra robbed the earth of its water

Truth

Truth was there at the beginning of the beginning

Truth was there at beginning of the beginning of the beginning

What was true alone was there

And truth has persisted through the ages

Let change do whatever it can truth alone remains

Change has sprung from truth

For there was nothing else than truth

And change is its offspring

Or perhaps change is truth and truth was change

Change was at the beginning
