An Autobiography of a Banyan TreeI am a Banyan tree,
More than hundred years old,
Near a beautiful lake I stand,
In the heart of Mother Nature.
During my life span I have seen,
Days both good and bad,
I have experienced the strong forces of nature,
Surviving them courageously.
I have grown tall and strong,
By drawing nutrients...

Narrative
Like a Banyan TreeLike a Banyan Tree,
my roots (seeking rebirth),
from eldest, outstretched limbs, descend
to a heartening earth.
Like a Banyan Tree
on hilltop with grand stance,
love from embossed gold earth and sky,
shall help my soul's expanse.
Spirit rustles arches
of my highest leaves.
Life flows through my core,
my dawns, my days, my...

The Banyan TreeThe Banyan Tree
I the Atlas carry a home
My master strong for his
Children seven had built.
Shorts and skirts
Thunder up my shoulders,
All hell let lose,
With their galloping horse-hooves,
Ride up the stairs full a twenty.
Doomsday be here
While they make a merry!
Platoons of ghosts,
Burst through the...

That Banyan TreeThe village where my father was born.
After many years
Still has not changed
Except that electricity has arrived ,
The road blacktopped has deteriorated,
And thatched-roof houses...

Lying Under a Banyan TreeLying in the meadows' nest
under your green greatness,
remembrance of my Grandma's face
oh banyan, my lullaby days!
Under your green greatness
listening to murmuring leaves,
oh banyan, my lullaby days
just like from my Grandma's lips!
Listening to murmuring leaves
a history hundred years old,
just like from my Grandma's lips
the fairy tales...

A Banyan Tree In My CourtyardA banyan tree in my courtyard
That I had planted ten years ago
Looks beautiful with its large limbs
As if a beauty queen of monsoon
Were entering her adolescence
It smiles when gusts of cool wind
Touch it with adorable feelings
Droplets of rain...

Prose Poetry
Banyan TreeFeel the ambience grand,
Old boughs spread a charm;
New era greets span,
Dreams in gracious psalms.
Blessings from old times,
Affluence spreads new trace;
Note sensorial chimes,
Yield blessings of grace;
An old friend my dear,
Now calmly awaits.
Truth and trust find cheer,
Reach a deeper fate;
Embrace stillness here,
Explain wonders dear.

Under a Banyan TreeUnder a Banyan tree
In a loud voice
she is shedding the tears of guilt
she is weeping before the crowd
The Chairman declared his verdict
That she is the convict
and has to pay fine for her guilt
against her chastity
None has taken her side:
who can deliver her justice,
to feed her...

Not Under a Banyan TreeNot under a Banyan tree
I drink coffee under an elm tree, one of many in the avenue; filtered sunlight
makes shifting pattern on the pavements, and the sun loses its cruel power.
A willowy woman walks into the only café where one can smoke,...

Idyll (Idyl)
The Village Banyan TreeStotutly among the rest of the trees, standing high-
Its height touches the sky in which the kites fly,
Guarding the village like a gallant knight,
Its bark shows the black wounds of many fights.
Its creepers like a dozen of pythons,
Could be seen from far away lawns-
All trying...

Bio
Rainbow's EndI’ve walked
Many a mile
Since every Rainbow’s End
Was just a wish away
Every pot of gold
Has stayed a wish ahead
I’ve walked
Many a mile
Through smoke-filled haze
And alcoholic daze
Melody now gone
From lonesome cities
I took no time
To listen then
Now I’ll sit a while
By the Banyan Tree
Draw...

Overlooked BeautyOverlooked beauty
At the backyard of my colony's lane
Crumbles an old banyan tree slowly on verge of getting waned
Not worthy of a second glance
An overlooked beauty as in forgotten time's trance
Pulchritude ignored by almost every passer-by
Sole witness of ever changing world since ages below heavenly skies
Must...

Me and MemoriesMe and memories
There I stand,
No, not amidst the chaos!!
But by the side of a coffee shop.
I hardly change even as years pass by;
Expressionless, lofty being, I say!
Sipping their coffee or tea
Some tiny creatures encircle me,
Perhaps for my shed and bench to settle;
Still never one way,...
