Red

It was the red apple that showed 
     All the way down to life,
     Bare, beautiful, bitter and sweet
     To every bit of bite, denied by Him!
     Her heir couldn't hide its lustre
     That was hidden to him first,
     Later exposed 
     Till she bore the fruit inside
     The fruit of love,lust and humiliation

     How did it come to happen
     That all the various colors got
     Combined to a white and black, but no red?
     Though the story was thus written
     In sweet blood of forbidden fears
     She was abandoned to a human heaven, the apple

Confessions of a Passive Smile

Leaving behind, the red tulips
You leave, the unnamed autumn
That showered snowy flowers of silent concern.
Throwing thorns on my heart, 
Though it was out of question,
Since no thorns were born of friendship
You listed me in the group of fellows,
Not even to be looked at, of foes...

Alienating my lines of deep, but bitter affection
As we couldn't possess 
All that crept in our courtyard,
You showed me a vine without buds on
And taught me to be a less dangerous enemy,
Who could never attack, but only stay calm...

Attending to my waitings, first,
Listening to my words, you kicked me off
The steps of your worries...
You are not to be blamed!
My heart, so silly,the fly to fall in the dark
With its lights burning, not to wipe out the clouds
But to be damp in cries,is the culprit

Jailed are my pangs for you in the dungeons
Of untold revolts, of passion sinful..!

Shores of Silence

When will you talk
to me
About silence of
love?
Of a thousand sighs
after
dreams of seas,
Where we spent 
Dark hours of
struggling looks..?

Ornate with deep
blue laces
Of unspoken
ecstasies,
Each sea is a heart
forsaken for ever!
Abandoned is a shore
of wild rains
Still they, hopeless
hearts, chant
the tune of waves

Why do the seas
still roar?

In December

The stars of my light
May fall into a thousand light years
Of darkness, fragmented and solitary.

I will sweep the dust of my love
Into the galaxy of abandoned regards
There it may remain a pang
To beget another planet of life;
A God with a new face!

Tear my lust off its skin
To wrap it in new clothes of passion.
Where is the fragrance to shove off
Blood-stained humiliations?

Silence of sky, you spread 
Above the green smiles..
When can I have them
To wear in hot days of passive prayers?
When I die 
The mob will hold a star 
Without edges, to bury me with..

And you will  later find
A star to remember in all Decembers....

To Nepal

TO NEPAL

Nights of untold miseries...
Daylights of deadly hazards..
Broken logs of dreams and life..
All drag us into merciless sights..

You reside in your rocky palace
When sanguine fingers are stretched out
From rocks and rubbish
And cry for breath!

Oh light, where do you hide yourself,
Away from the cries of torn mouths,
And bleeding tongues?

It was a land of festive flowers
Now the petals pulled out and dried up
Only some moments He took
To decide 
where each of us should be born.
Unless it was for us,
Nepal, you would have borne 
Me too inside!

Can it be said we are lucky to lie
On the plains of a land
On which Ganga and yamuna played wet?
Still I say sometimes
In grief we stand near you, Nepal!
We weep with you..

Imprisoned

IMPRISONED 
Radhika Sanoj
The cloudy apprehensions snarl at us,
The prisoners of a diseased planet..
We are no different nation..
We are alike 
White, black, brown..,
All terribly and virtuously alike.
We together creep in fetters,
Leaving Springs behind..

Once we read , "can spring be far....."
Now winter's teeths whiten 
Our fragile bones..
Oh my dear, kiss me with a life,
Miracle of a prayer 
Driven towards me from heaven...
We all will be released soon, 
I hope....

Bloody Bird

Bloody Bird

Everything  till that moment
was a long dream...
That the bird sang to me,
flew to  me,
that its breath crossed my nostrils,
A long awaited
much loved dream
In which its multi-coloured Plumes
Moved around my lips...

suddenly a cloud creeps 
Into the skies of its vein..
It was June , I remember
A fiendish sleepy cloud
That could never shower
On its own, mercy...

Where have all the rainbows gone?
I had counted more than hundred 
where has the bird gone?
There was a promise in its eyes...
One thing I saw for sure...
Its beak was red with my blood...
