You sent a wave
To knock at my shore
Denuded of all molluscs and snails
The time could not wind around
The spine of shallow space
Mechanics of life
yantravat jeevan na ho is liyey main jeeta Hun,
koi swapn paley is liye gum Peeta Hun
har sans mein koi swapn paley is liye gum Peeta Hun
Have I asked you to stop
Mat kaho bandha hai tumko
is liyey in dhagon se Seeta Hun
Udhad na jaiyey paiband,
is liyey aandhio ki parineeta hun
The cave is covered with snow
Aroma of that forest,
forbidden fruits,
dripping sap from a tree,
the bees humming,
will honey trap the bear,
or the berries will suffice,
don’t know,
the cave is covered with snow
Letter not posted
Sweat of all the labour,
poise and pause indeed is not a favour;
glory of a rising star,
may you bear with all the smoke & tar;
so what if some words not kept,
have not the guards for years not slept;
let the wars be won, even if battles r lost,
this is a letter, dare I really post?
