POETIC PANGS

Shattered and wounded, 

bathed in the warm blood

in the mid day sun 

or in the silent hour of mid night

The earth and the sky 

tremble in the radiant smile 

of the gulmohar tree

the reddish glow of the sun 

gets scattered 

the indelible stain of calmness 

sticks on the Jasmine like lips

One comprehends or not, 

grasps all the heart's commotion 

all the storm and undercurrent 

in the soaring waves of whistling wind

awaiting the end of all the quest

The heart is torn pouring tears as rain drops in June 

in the July shower of blood

enraptured in the fragrance of poetic bloom

from across the threshold 

to the distant horizon 

The delight of poetic pangs does fill

one's heart with unmeasured thrill.

HOPE: The Citadel

This dreary desolation,

ice-lander’s isolation I never mind ; 

for melody rings in my heart .

With the rising sun

this nada will fritter away 

faster than ball from the catapult.

Our shadows entwine,

as forecast in my dreams,

not to be me but as we to exist

Emotions in spate 

like hedgerow untrimmed 

in huge hugs of mutual trust .

 

The silken bond holds:

hands of a clock we are,

hopefully never to fall apart .
