Grandpa Shoots From the Hip
Inquiring of my grandparents to explain love, Teasing grandpa said, "Togetherness alone pays." I asked him, what's kept you together all these years? "Tethers do not work, the secret is frequent hugs." In short, what do you credit your long marriage to? "Tough love means you don't always say what you're thinking." Interesting, Grandpa, how you shoot from the hip. The ball's...

Shoots of Virtue
Men defend their mental status quo even through a mortal neglect. But here, a rare deed emanates from a girl’s heart. She plucks the puppy from the crow beaks that carve death. Resisting the pessimistic voices around, she tends to that stray animal hit by an auto rickshaw. Her virtue is buttressed by her brother and...

Waiting For the Shoots From the Shroud
She also dies to be reborn in hallucination. Her spouse’s corpse is wrapped in a white dhoti. She makes everything safe within the walls, slamming the windows and doors. Bacteria perform the post-funeral rites before the burial. A smoldering Frankincense gulps down the fetid smell. She’s one among the multitude who can’t see *Mangalyaan landing on the lap of Mars. No one can alter the...

Bamboo Shoots
Bamboo shoots I am at peace in a land of dreams. The creatures of nightmare may scream, But I am serene in my bamboo garden. Waterfalls, wooden instruments, whistle their winding calls And all attune are the birds of Eden. I have never found love in this place of pure Earth, And rockeries, but no broccoli please. I only need pretty flowers to...

Photo Shoots
Photos taken Are precious and wholesome View them, share them or simply keep them Smiling and teary-eyed sometimes But even smile and laughter exudes As we preserve them In any way we want, be it in albums Or in CD’s, PC’s and camera chips As these are sweet nothings Priceless, likened to a cherished heirlooms For a life time sake. Single or group pictures Photogenic or...

Love's Fragile Shoots
Hybrid seed planted on rocky ledge Shallow shoots baring tomorrow's dreams Sunny vistas lure fragile roots to the edge Clouded visions hover distilled with availing streams Prevailing winds scour surface, growing strains hedge Cool, night air shivers; a paring frost rends fibrous seams Blighting fears preen stalk but fealty's sustenance cannot dredge Morn's warming rays on your fortified residual gleams...
