Mask

Unfolding camouflage

Day in and day out

Left the pretense

Behind the soul

Now the naked truth

Mumbles in air

Reminiscent of a burning corpus

Heritage walk

They neither left

Us alone

Nor leave

Us by our own

Still gaze

 At everyone

With a moon

In the hawks eye ball

Monuments are nocturnal beings

 I stroll in those lanes

With soul embedded wings

Companion

Cattle egret riding

The buffalo

Travelogue of

Bio commensalism

Foot prints Shrine

My breathe recalls from

The grave   like ripples of

Ground stream

Seldom place flowers

They will shower

Naturally

Like snow flakes

With foreword of

Intestate

Insolvent landless

Chapters

Nascent

In form of

Earth worm

Words shrine

Horizon

My desert eye

Travels’ in cavity

Butterflies

Disguised beneath

Its own wings color

Walk-Inn

Star Seeds

Sprout in me

Like clouds

 Spirit mission

I will

Spread on galactic

Space

With an attire

Of light

To imprint

The Earth

For ever to cherish

(to Cheryl)

Drenched

I am unsure

About

How long

It rains

But lucid

It doesn’t

Pour

More than

My longevity

Of thirst

Siesta

The last breadth

Through the mouth

We strive to wake her up

But she sings a lullaby

For her

Eternal nap

Native tree

Mother

Respites

 In her own shade

Recollections

Waft

In green

Again

My naive

Brown pupil

Leave to the womb

(To my mother G.Kamala)

Farewell

Metaphors

Of souls sonata

Reverberate

In ears auditorium

As curtains

Roll down

Eyelids clasp

In stillness

For blind play

Mirror image

Sparrows nested desire

Reflects my beloveds face 

Evening bell

Doves’ voice

From remote nest

Past land lines’ ring tone

Threshold

Images

Of beloved

Are Sited

Intact

At roots

Meadow

Oracle

Dearth of

Space for time

Immobile movement

Serenade

Voluntary exile

Flying aloof

Sky Suffused

In terrazzo cloud

Nascent Twilight

 Born

With subtleness

Destiny revealed

Beneath the beak

Travelers

Earthen corridor 

Uncovered toes

Hanging

Rain drop

At the edge of the leaf

Vacillating

Decision

Rendezvous night

Unloved

In the blanket

Posthumous poem

Beneath the tree

Coal relics

Mine my

Requiem

Reminiscence

Navigating

Through the lane’s of city

Childhood memoirs

Shower afresh

The old buildings

Stationed alive

Grouse

As vanished ball

Unfetched

Past the sport

Economic zones

Refugees

In their own shelter’s

Time’s of lush green

Field’s

Buried

Glow in Poleramma

Temple

Doesn’t flare

Souls seldom sprout

Mute

 I am in the attire of a thought

 A voiceless sight

Echoes

Through the windows glass pane

Wind’s leave a memo

Cloud’s never burst

Tonight

I lay beside my

Dead eyes funeral

Anticipation

Airborne soil

Burn’s my eyes

Shifting seasons

Mood

Her earthen aroma

Penetrated

 In

My soul

Mist

The undressed lone

Tree

 Dresses’

In nuptials costume

Green Economy

Green-room person’s

Will only take rest

As curtain’s raise

Butterfly strokes

Butterflies kiss

The dry stream

My journey continues vividly

Boy and the sea

His thoughts

Float

For return of his father

In child’s memories

Concern’s are

Paper boats.

Pool

 Swimming

In still

Water

Child’s smile

Floats

Like River’s

Soul

Desert Horizon

An endless vision

Sight

Penetrates inside

Soul’s imagery.

Sand Dunes

Memoirs

Of friends

Gossiping winds

Travelogue

Foot prints

(to Shravan)

Sea and old man

Waves weave

Blue attire eye

Aged fingers shore loom

Reflections of stillness

Speak aloud

Twinkle in eyeball

Wet’s silently 

Crescent

My window is crescent moon: partially open

Sparrow’s call

Session on wire

Waves pull me elsewhere

Nest

Birds don’t have windows

Nor doors

They reverse sky

For siblings

Death Shrine

Nocturnal nostalgia

Mystic

Death space

Crafted abode

Musical echoes are perpetual horizons

Mid summer’s soul

May flower in the fore

Full blown Gulmohar

In the backyard

Eternal day

At my place

Face on pane

Sitting

Before the window

Darkness

 Inside and outside

Clouds play

Drums

Sky blows

 Trumpet,

Occasional

Rain in summer

Assembling

Forgotten friends

In cool revelation

Snail’s steps

Unveiling from shell

Life’s graph gel’s behind.

Poppy flower

Embryonic moon

 In field’s of lust

Night dew

Drops

Like volatile fume

Engulfing soul mates

Living apart

Banyan Route

Uprooted

Age 

Old trees

In road expansion.

Fast moving

Tracks

Lope

Haunted by

Ghost’s soiled

Souls.

Jasmine Creeper

Bud’s

Way

 Blossoms

 Night: fragrant pillow.

Deep pour

Deep ploughed

Heart

Cotton

Yarn’s mourning

On the corpse of the farmer

Celestial Gods

Deities

In the midst

Of the road: Parking Space for Faith.

Dawn and Dusk

Fire Flies

Flake

Whither

In grey and black

Unmasking the flame

Crushed in between

My fingers

Childs Theater

He   plays

On his own

Throwing the ball

To the

Anonymous

Performer.

Audience applause

Echo in their own hearts

Gratitude

Proceeds to bowl

For reiterate   performance.

Summer Sanctuary

Temple On the mount crest

Monkeys Palate Butterflies 

Niche

Birds call

That wakes me

Seldom

Shows its

Nest.

Silent landscape

Twinkling star

In the Pupil

Of bidder

And traveler: Translucent black cloud and the moon

World Apart

The world

I love

Wakes up at

Dawn

I live in

Night

Seeds of hope from my walls sprout

My earthen home spreads.

Blood mark

Full moon in the jungle: Forest flame tree in bloom

Self manifestation on rocks:  still life eyes float on the ripples.

Black Shrine

Crows pair

Worshipped

As

Symbol of love,

Like

Borne

In fusion of

Soul and body

Flows

To Home

In bamboo basket

Ray of brightness

In the paddy field

Air bubble in fish’s mouth: White crane twinkle in eyeball.

Forest’s Snivel

Day

Without Sun

Life

Devoid of Power Supply

Still…

Time Moves

And Works Continue

Voice of  living

Unheard

In the Mainstream

Like Tribal’s agony

Buried in the Heart

(Ukhrul,2-3-2012)

Day

Day

And Night

Pass on

Like

 Stillness of Sight and Voice

In petite power cut:  Generator

(7-3-2012, Panchai, Manipur)

Blossom

From the leaves bow, bud sprouts like arrow: speech of the soil.

Moist

Butterflies in the stream

Colors of water honey dew

On earthen flower
