Every Stone Drop Pebble

Eternity too short to quench love

He walks down the aisle looking for the nave to kneel and slide out

After prolonged heat wave sky watery explosion earth lovely doom

Seasonal change viral suffering, realignment with doctors bill

They sculpture psyche in the city of dumb dreams: idols sweat in sun

Pulling out white hairs she reminds increasing age: times fragrance unchanged

Each morning the sun shines through window panes, revives the dream for verses

Smell of kamini in front of my house excites: hummingbirds mate

Cloud over cloud darken earth and hide stars: dawn and dust one

I see a finger point to the eye in her breast mist lingers on lips

No letters today-- addresses of his dead friends greying in diary

She wraps nudity in sari turns graceful: love-touch in colour

Each stone, drop, pebble waste of life in worldly self: haiku nothingness

After the red the dog, the girl knotted double face

In the darkness of backyard he searches his shadow: summer clouds overhang

I stir the water to pierce clouds in it: throw memory stones

He has no wind-rope to tie waves in the net: sand melts beneath feet

Stealthy invaders chill surge of river and dreams: the year waves good bye

Reshuffling the shelves its only dust in alleys sneezing scholarship

She reads my age in the synthetic dark of moustache and whitening chest

Willow summer-sways its bough half-rests on the pole light goes off again

Her wet lingerie reveals more than her body: I drown in her sea

She undresses in dim light perfumes her body fills room with herself

Silence is sound in the blank of unthinking mind poetry is peace

The child lost in letters and numbers spins new designs

She waves a quick smile from her new Maruti tyres screech

The sun vanished in the blue morning couldnt last the flowers smile

The nightqueen fragrance seeps in from the windows my bedroom blooms

He sees the ape in the glass self-satisfied his own image

The blue white dapples on the canvas seeing the eye of silence

Sipping gin he says he loves sex each night but hates the smell

Seeking good news I watch the lines on my palms taking new turns

They are skinny but skilful, cant be swatted: their vibrations haunt

He sweeps yellow leaves or gathers years in a heap burns to merge with dust

After hours of power-cut cobwebs in the room swing in thanks

Seismic lab a network of cobweb: no earthquake for long

My bedroom a maze of cobweb spiders breed

Her smile arrival of spring at the bower

The red light is on: they all have secrets to hide no use peeping in

In nightly silence glides the airbus through the clouds trail of white smoke

After sleepless night a drowsy sun tears the morning sky

A dead man cant keep standing lies in dust

A lamp floating on river breast in bridal grace waves in the gloaming

Looking for Taj in grains through sand storm find history trapped between toes

Shining from the blade of grass a drop on earths breast: tribute to sun

With changing weather they look for sun and shade both: chameleon tune

I know waves that roar I live through silence of shore: the sea grows in me

I felt her fingers the strings of my sons guitar unplayed for a long time

She hides the mirror with rose and lipstick and keeps her fiction

Joy of union reduces as rhythm falls restless embers grow

After hurried lovemaking we drift to sleep: our backs to each other

Flickers of peace hide god in heart like running brook love in nudity

Monsoon shower after a long heat wave monotony breaks

Ripe on the branches mangoes fall one by one end of the season

The mirror is so small I cant see the ocean beyond my own look

Its utter helplessness true, but to survive one must be tamed

Dragons play whirlwind among clouds-- meet and rain unite earth and sky

Coal grows golden each moment in quiet corners raw wind singes

It hangs like a drop any moment evaporates love is gullible

Morning mist rests on a swathe of pond lone fish looks for sun

The moon glows and heat wave all through night scalds leaves kills butterflies

A butterfly restless over the other trying to console

The mynahs herald the day clamouring for moths

Vacating the house he leaves four decades no thanks to any

Not age but years of worries his furrowed face

The sun rolls on waving Ganges whitens love-hope

The leaves sway to fly like birds free in the sky

Long forgotten the beginning and the end: exist in middles

He closes the eyes expanding inner space a short-cut tour

Red oleander and hibiscus calling morning to Kali

After lunch stretching legs in cubbyhole like a frog

Looking lovingly she bends his head down to hers twines like a creeper

Unable to change time my watch doesnt move moment at will

The solitary bird like uninspiring tracks moves alien homeward

The rains wash the paints that hide the face

Tending the hooks she blushes to see the line of jewels

Making love she presses with her nails a sparrow sports

The frog in mirror slips by damp towel cold sets in slippy hands

Half-fleshed faces track from behind the windows rawness of journey

Summer turns prettier after duststorm and rain night alloys with cool colours

The leaves have turned moth we cross-leg with crabbed wishes erase one more year

The half moon on her neck reminds of love before departure

Falling chalk over head clouds understanding: eyes itch and nostrils run

Rains leave soil soft seeds sprout with first sun pearly dawns

Among the white hairs a solitary black one keeps her hope alive

The fig of life with roots above and branches below: man and woman one

Frosted faces dissolve in stale rain clutching female body

We lie together filling our body with each others sensation

Celebrating forgettable memories at public expense

After morning walk the trio gossip each day fresh revelations
