Yes I would be a giraffe if I could.
Walking proudly on an African plain
Eating leaves from the highest banyan tree
Flipping my idiotic looking tail

Axes
Perpetually strive
Chopping off...
Banyan trees
Perennially spread
Aerial roots...

The poor man turned
from the temple gate
where throngs of people gathered
to pray and wait.
Yet humbly he knelt
by a small shrine's plea
at the foot of an old Banyan tree.

Immersed in his thoughts -
how to give it a shape - dreams,
Bonsai gardener ;
If I could place a banyan
over my heart - to take rest

Be beyond name
Name that hurls game
Game beyond fame
Be your own par
Par that goes far
Far as a star
Bloom in fond boom
Boom fills all rooms
Rooms beauty grooms

not the banyan trees
dried twigs hold the dragonflies
often carefully
few fallen feathers
form firm foundations for Finch's
fantastic furrow
a leaf on waters
becomes great lifebuoy
for a drowning ant

Your eyes are so calm
like the shade of a Banyan tree on a midsummer day.
I feel soothed by looking at you,
but my thousands of words are less to portray.
From your eyes, I can't move my gaze.
I love to lose my way into your eye's maze.

Rhyme
It sat perched on a Banyan tall
That stood beside a pond,
Which grasped the tree with fingers long
And held the skies beyond;
It dived not in the shallow pool
Nor did it fly away,
It withered slowly on the bough
Upon an autumn's day.

Waiting for that moment,
That will probably never come,
Sitting on branches of uncertainty,
Under the Banyan.
Letting the spirits run lose,
And conquer my soul.
Lost without any form of love left,
in these veins,
Short of one single inhale,
Gone, in the wind.

The Banyan Tree
The banyan tree stands tall,
come rain or mighty squall,
it rests, serene,
but never unseen,
its branches guarding us all.

A spotted leopard in a banyan tree,
Kept his yellow carnivore-ic eyes on me.
I knew better than to move fast or try to flee.
Big cats love a chase like Simon Legree.
His eyes narrowed, but I refused to see.
How fast that cat was chasing after me.
If I can just get to that tall tall….

Swallows return bringing summer
Heat waves ruffle the spring air
Banyan tree’s scorched shadow simmers
As soil cracks in sunshine flare.
Night falls with ashes of burnt sky
With cool touch southern wind blows
Stars twinkle summer melody
Lifts up my parched mind morose.

Waves washed in wind
Sulfer swirled till cold with rain.
Flowers bloomed in ashes
where lava dance to cool.
My love grew in tides
Love of my king and queen.
Banyan holds sulfer in tides
Branches blends kayak in dreams .
Left alone as promise child
Dead call names stalk of sugar cane.

rocks watching the moon rise
over the banyan grove
in the shadows
the monkeys fornicate
ears and eyes recording
this singularly unique but ordinary evening
the glowing moon never moves an iota
while it is being watched
the jumping pike
makes a triumphal splash
all motion moves in invisible chains

There is a huge and old
Banyan tree in front of
The temple in my village
Sitting beneath it
At every morning is
My habit now
But the devotees of the temple
Visit me too
As they think I am a GOD
They offer me many things
In fact I am unemployed
And decided to consume them
Just for a living.
spirituality is very easy to sell

My supreme lord
If ever wish you gift me
With a next birth
Never as a human again
Bless me then as a Banyan Tree
Giving shadow and shelter for many
Many lovers may meet and talk
Beneath me
Many kids may gather and play
Beneath me
I can feel and realize then
The true meaning of love
I can feel and realize then
The true meaning of affection .

Like 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 eves.

once I saw a girl
beneath the shadow of Banyan tree, Ramna Park;
I fell in love with her;
I couldn't tolerate her out of my sight
once I felt
I sucked her,
drank her blooming honey
and I biologically gratified myself;
once I gave her freedom to her abysmal gloomy path
Now I understand; it was lust, not my love

HUGS
The day after the Tsunami hugged the shores,
by a penitent ocean lying low,
in the beach which lay mauled and scarred,
an old woman and a girl stood homeless and hugging
and not far away
a bower lay crumpled, within which
but stood tall as always the two-some
of a neem and a banyan in an unshakeable hug.

Under the Banyan Tree
Underneath the banyan tree
Eating lunch so peacefully
What was that that dripped on me
Wet on shoulder, hip and knee
No one else – no, only me
Wondering what it could be
Looking up into the tree
No care that all of us could see
From lifted leg so gracefully
Yes there I was in old San Juan
Underneath the devil’s spawn
When suddenly I’m peed upon
Iguana pee

my family tree -
nurtured, supportive Banyan
roots stay firm beneath
Strong branches stretch out,
colouring a billion leaves -
and those billion lives.
United we stand,
not by blood… but loyalty.

day break is dawning
I captured the moon yawning
while the sun was getting dressed
I heard cars rolling over
the wet pavement from the mist
of the morning dew the smell of wild
open granduer arouses my memory
of colonial pastures and beckoning hues
the crawling grapevines creeping around
the banyan trees of warm wood cold rock
crisp cedar too why day break is dawning
its dawning anew

Prose Poetry
Feel 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.

Look at the beauty of nature
Scattered around
People anywhere to anywhere
Banyan anywhere is gross
Red roses are red
Look at the cheeks of the Earth
Lily and jasmine sambac
Gathering the rock
See full Himalayan snow
Nanda's highest mountain peak
See what tomorrow flows
Ganga river serene sleep
Nature has given us all
Unique message of life
Come deleted distance of Mind
Far removed trouble!

Ballad
I’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 its cosmic force
Replenish my spirit
My energy
Journey on to
Find hope at
The
Rainbow’s End
