Rare are bucks with loud bang

...What all our likes lets, such luck’s rare,
Plugs all our panic, such pluck’s rare,
Rare are bucks that give loudest bang,
Cool amidst all muck, such ducks rare.

How long dwell on should I

...On fruitless life how long dwell on should I?
On needless strife how long dwell on should I?

Burden became my life

...Hither all her desires, thither my fires,
Balancing both, burden became my life.

In hope of love I walked with wilderness,
Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life.

For an excuse to sm...

Desert-lands of remorse

...If desert-lands of remorse can be crossed ahead, enough,
Cage deemed as open sky, if my wings can be spread, enough.
      Yon, when the winking sky is found willing to welcome me, 
      If just ...

My pain

...Lesser as I cried softer felt my pain,
When muffled loud sobs soother felt my pain.

With a power-saw I cut me into two,
Gave me solace, the succour soothed my pain.

Dwelling on my hurt and it...

That is why

...I have the wings, but there’s no sky, that’s why,
Feathers fall if I fail to fly, that’s why. 

Will’s there, there’s wish, but not much can be done,
Kites idle lie in windless sky, that’s why.

No more nor less

...Me, home and loneliness, no more no less,
Ah, oh, utter darkness, no more nor less.

In birth, life, death, equity rules the same,
Suffering there’s endless, no more nor less.

What else can a poem do

...Can help you to meet you, 
        what else can poems do?
Make your thoughts shine like dew, 
        what else can poems do?

One eve, her memories 
        when begin to hurt anew, 
Bliss o...

When east and west marry

...If biscuit dipped in curry’s what he likes,
What use needless flurry on what he likes? 
O be not so narrow-minded a man,
At least east-west marry in what he likes.
Let them say, ne’er the twain s...

Brave your own battle, O Draupadi - 3

...Take to arms, who will come ye to save?
What hope from face-less faces ye have?
Never plead, nor for them ever rave,
From shameless what succour can ye crave?
Take to arms, none will come ye to s...

Far off left have we oh, home of love.
Lose virtue, watch in vain Sita’s woes,
Jatayu long dead, scarce can we move.

All the world has turned blind - 1

...Captive truth in pages stay confined,
History no kind be to mankind.
In vain Draupadis cry,
We all watch will-less dry,
Why just Dhritarashtra?
Proud, what we call rashtra, 
Perhaps all of the ...

The same hair you flirt with

...Fingers in hair you flirt with flair, 
Feel fine in fair romantic air, 
Why then this sneer on face
And concealed suppressed stress? 
What floats in soup’s her piece of hair.

The rest is pretty fine

...Her gossip, holy dung,
Her scoring points, ho hung,
That get on my mind clung,
The rest is pretty fine.

Fine her stare of sharp eye,
Fine, full cheeks, dimpled nigh,
But for her battle cry,

How nice

...Should doldrums turn to breeze, how nice,
Desire, to ‘was’ from ‘is’, how nice.

What ere was flash has flared to fire,
If doubts fade soon to cease, how nice.

If every crease of mind clears u...
