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

Seed

Seeds of hope from my walls sprout

My earthen home spreads.

Blood mark

Full moon in the jungle: Forest flame tree in bloom

Life Way School

Orphans of

Border nation

And native

Destitute

Children of violence

Teach: Life Way School

(To the children of SVidS school, Panchai, Chandel,7-3-2012)

Watermark

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

Black Shrine

Crows pair

Worshipped

As

Symbol of love,

Like

Black shrine

Borne

In fusion of

Soul and body

(Uyok hill, Kaakching, 7-3-2012)

Water pot

Stream

Flows

To Home

In bamboo basket

(From Ukhrul to Imphal,3-3-2012)

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
