Puffed with warmth for my birthday dinner treat
0n the plate of a pure veg restaurant
Tempting entree ignites the classy taste,  
A delight, each bite, spread with tamarind chutney,
Together with  kindred sharing stories
 Of flavour, care and chefs` talents.

Savoury paneer masala 
And dal makhani* served with mutter pulao
Make the main course, added with garlic nan,
Oozing with taste, a real relish,
Side-lined with pickled onions and rice kheer as desert, 
A feast for the senses, a love we all share.


*Slow-cooked black lentils

Pure Romance

Romeo and Juliet were fiction
as if that's not enough
her balcony in Verona
originally a medieval sarcophagus
no more than a tourist attraction
may also have been a water trough
and the Dal Capello family building
where he posed 'through yonder window?'
'but soft' and completely off-the-cuff
to which it's now attached
was once a 13th-century inn
but as stories go really quite unmatched

With apologies to William Shakespeare

Pranking the Stage Manager

Intros......
My Name is Segnali comprehend?
My name is Segnali we're is my dressing room?
it's almost showtime we're am I to be?
Segnali ! He yelled sounding mean and rude.
Segnali ! He spoke with such an attitude.
Segnali! That my real name forreal man

 Segnali: Ricorda la Canzone! Provala Cantala!
Segnali Musica ! I don't know what your saying

Growling Prendi in giro un impostore,

Tell you what Mister if don't stop saying my
name. Now he gone stormed off, what is this
picking up the costume: this from wardrobe
I shall put this on and when those others are
on stage I shall take this show to a new level.
Tell that Chump Mister to put my name on that
check and better spell it right to! Segnali "the Star
of the Show" Grimey aint nothing on me!
I can't stand that stage manager! I give him
a hard time everynight.

Dish of Indian make.
Dear to all Keralite.
Dry rice and dal well soaked,
Drained and ground to fine paste, 
Dough flattened and roasted,
Delicious with chutney.
Delectable to all.

The Old man

Part Two : The Tale of Artuir mac Aedan; The light of the West
(A tale of the hero of legend, a hero of Dalriada, who tried to unite a nation.)
The Old Man.
Was he a fool steeped in pagan lore,
to stand against the new religions door,
deaf ears against his word and actions,
ostracised and ignored by folk called kin,
shouted at him youll pay for deceit and sin.
At Artherydd in Rheged land took an army,
against Strath Clywd,s might with Dal Riatan,
allies led by Aedan and Ryderch Hoel kings,
of might and strength whose fame spread far,
Myrddyn stood against them and great was the slaughter.
Madness took him at all the blood and death,
spurred his horse in frantic escape to the north,
the great forest of Caledon opened her arms ,
and took him to hide and vanished from life,
to this day it is said his wails and cries,still are heard.

The Male Rival

est-ce qu ils me
bloquent?
the assumption 
the muse is her lover
the best muses end up
unloved
with nothing at all
I refuse to be anything
except her man
her lover, companion
her all!

de pierro and kakhidze
vasilisa buratto: feala
mimica!
de piazzolla no:no:no!
il faut chanter avez
un orchestra
sous les
applaudissements de
la foule
si desidera
fah,lah,lah?
potremmo cantare
tutti insieme?
ah: vah e un ritmo
lento
l'intro unisce la donna
e l'uomo
la gelosia di quelli
chi vuole essere
nella posizione in
cui mi trovo
est-ce qu'elle chante
sur scene
est-ce que monisier
fait la meme chose?
il pubblico applaude
per salutarti?
Potrebbero inchinarsi
o inchinarsi
dire che sono felice
che tu sia venuto?
decapo and Dal Segno!

My Proud and My Pride

O my beloved Kashmir!
Thou are my proud nation.
Core of my heart, my country!
You're naming the sweet Paradise on earth.
Almighty Allah has been bountiful to you,
Riches of value in every sphere.
The outside world's beauty is so limit,
When they heard, 'Kashmir is Paradise on earth! '
you're my proud, you're my pride,
Because you have given us so many gems!
Sheikh ul Aalam is known as 'Nund Reshi'
And Lal Ded is known as 'Lal Arifa'.
Nund Reshi and Lal Arifa,
Both have given us ma'rifa!
Core of my heart, my country!
I love my valley,
Of waterfalls & green jungles,
Of streams & Crystal like Kounsarnag!
Of meadows & Shepherd pastures crystal like rivulet.
I love your Dal Lake,
Your beauty & your nature's bounty,
The wide greenish land for me!
The unmatchable snow cliffs, looking like unbeatable Kashmir!
In the beauty and in the nature's bounty!
You're my proud, you're my pride!
Core of my heart, my country!

Premium Member The Warmth of December

in North of India, in month of December,
around the warth of fire, we would all gather,
a bonfire of sticks lit outside in the open,
dancing of embers, in the year’s coldest season.

many families come for a get together,
well wrapped in wool that had been saved for the weather,
simmering aroma of home made dal Roti*,
food prepared and shared for the whole community!

past tales recounted, marriage alliance made,
experience and wisdom shared, future plans laid,
in that chilly winter in month of December,
the warmth of all that love is what I remember!

Broken Soul

In search of mighty elixir i roam
  Across the streets intoxicated
Destroyed i whirl,Destroyed i whirl

  With valour and faith i do stand
  Sometimes in segments and sometimes as warrior

   Frality of a wingless butterfly
     In a garden of bliss and much like a caged bird
  Hooked between the songs of love and chores of forgetting

   Frozen the blood in my cold veins
     and oozed in droplets
Is where i found the warmth of my lonely heart

   In fragments i breathe and float like lotus
     On the still waters of dal lake

 To find the pearl of happiness
    I wore the boots of frog and plunge into deep waters

    There i met a mermaid 
       In her eyes lies my ecstacy
      and in her lap my seeds of poetry

    I hide myself in the long tresses of rainbow
    And wrote the lullaby for broken soul

Stateless

Red undulating plain.
Blue tarpaulin.  
Little orange tree. 

Rice
Red Cross
On my plate.
Rohingya mouth.
This yellow dal. 

Journalists, but
Admire 
My agony  
Distress pictures
Better!   

Stateless boy 
Singing 
'Future'.
Silly song 
Atop the Black rock.

Khar

Khar!
or
An alkaline extract!
my mouth drools 
o! momma
everytime I think of the dish
whether it is the beloved 
amitar khar (i know as papaya khar),
tiyohor khar (i know as cucumber khar),
khar dal (i know as khar with lentils),
not to quit
sometimes with dry fishes or meats 
dish itself is the contentment when served
i call it as 'quintessence of Assamese Cuisine' 
elixir from the ashes of burnt dried banana peels
hey
when imbued
the khar dish with platter of steamed rice
whether i am glued in Assam or anywhere on this earth,
my heart's cravings...
portraits the way of a yarn-
'the viridescent melody muffled the white snow mountain dance in folk tales'
o! momma
khar with some rice

Na vida e nos negócios
vejo que o mundo 
está se movendo tão rápido 
que uma pessoa 
diz que não pode ser feito 
é logo atropelada
por outra que está a fazer.
