A nap on the cool tile
That makes the heat rush
Out of my cheeks
In all shades of
Red and pink.
You remind me of rest.
You remind me of the feel of scented blankets.
Rough...

Waiting For Her To Come HomeEverything around me is still
The soft lights ward off the cold
My worried heart is unsettled

Hamra StreetHe dresses as the fool
But does he fool you?
In clothes of rent
Torn twisted and bent
He drinks to excess
His voice is loud
He spouts obscenities
But he runs like the wind
Catch, me if you can, he shouts
The maze...

Wars One and AllWar at Kurukshetra (Bharat) was great,
Where human and divine face to face met;
Arjuna and Pandavas won the tough war,
Arrogant powers of Gauravas brunt bore;
Could this be compared to Goliath-David?
Where humility and faith in God got...

Somewhere In the Middle of a DesertIn the bleached whitish sky
I am flying on a bellied pelican,
contemplating from above
a pastoral landscape
and I’m writing these lines.
Below are small people
on the slopes of a small hill
in the small groves
are making small love.
Unaware of...

our fingers tips
approach the
shadowed altar
eagerly anticipating
the opulent outpour

slips and lo!
We stand stripped
clean of all externalities,
as unvarnished...

Call ourselves a Callaloo people
