Etchings in love

Night Life

Darkness for me ,

is the night heavy

and flushed ,

with Raat ki Raani.

The metal moon

of silver alloy,

silent and

vigilant.

and ---of secret alcoves

lying alone

afloat on

dream boats.

(raat ki raani is fragrant flower that blooms at night)

Spring

Is it a cloud burst
of rainbow drops,
or butterflies dancing
mesmersied?
Is it the gulal
of Radha's blush
or the celestial glow
of Krshna's love?

(this poem is publihsed)

(Gulal is pink powder which is used in the Indian colour festival of Holi.
Radha and Krishna ,as we all know are revered Indian Gods)


With you

I loved, I laughed, I warmed!
Wept with relief,
atlast I could talk.
A rustle of breeze.
release!
Petal separating from the bud.
Is is this the flow?
Tao?
