That if he does not care...
A man that drives like Hell...
Well,
Let"s hope he ends up there.

Earth is like a sheet of paper,
A4 size,
Deserts on Earth like zeros written on the paper,
Sahara in large fonts,
In small others!

Future's hand
brandishes a sword
for what felt like heaven
my path to hell
and the only spin
my toppling head
into the basket
of just deserts.

Oh how my heart does bloom
When you breathe my name
A sound softly swept through
The din of a dying world
A rainfall to quench the thirst of deserts

Opalescent landform
Optimum of deserts
Optimism-provoking
Oozes with fresh fountains
Opulent sun and shade
One-of-a-kind place that
Offers relaxation

Green trees in winter
Are like water in deserts.
The green oasis
Provides hope for the spring and
Homes for Gods’ other children.

Where is your abode
O flying-like-bird lady?
What's at Jaipur, and what's in Dehradun!
Do you fly to forests in sizzling summers ,
And deserts in snowy winter?

To the heavens, undying faith we pray
For confirmation, deserts we excavate
Doubter and believer, lead truth astray
Tolerance not, nor morality, religions’ demonstrate

Long hours of power cut means-
Dried reservoirs,
Dried hearts towards people-
The Old age
The Children
The Sick
The Pregnant
These hearts all dried,in deserts no rain!

Ashes of water.

Ships of the deserts, ancient as life itself
Camels are our friends when water is scarce
A pack animal elite
Never bothered by heat
Aboard these guys tween their humps in pairs

Fragments of copper scatter;
smothers an Opal kiss
the surface only matters;
ardour does not exist,
and deserts of weary Chicory
sway with limestone tips,
swelling like the cactus
blistering our lips.

Come, the gates are open:
nothing standing in the way!
Deserts lost, hearts broken
filled full with joy again!
Truth’s heights found
in fathomless deeps:
For the land fair follows fast
upon the lowest sight

Language has limits
when backed to the wall
Its truth self-defining
by sages et al.
Language deserts us
as meaning retreats
Its light self-diffusing
—when destiny speaks

Fresh berries in the pancakes
With nutty maple syrup.
Sheer joy may be stated
By children at the circus.
Mid-summer Bluebird Day
The Greatest show on earth.
Their smiling, glowing faces
Became our just deserts.

Hues overlapped the seasons of smiles,
When you walked away,
Clouding minds with denial,
Swinging hearts with a sway,
Searching for lands and deserts so far,
To assemble mountains and lakes,
And make her forget the scar.

Her tongue is made of sulfur
Mud drowns the fields
Fine sand billows over deserts
Soil sprinkled over graves
Blood and sweat for charcoal
Swallowed tears, for potter’s clay
Niter, mortar, a vessel
To give birth, and to slay

exotic continent of contradictions
remote as remote can be
where deserts and cities coexist
where I can still go safari hunting
with traditional tribes like the Maasai

Poetry is in everything
Even if everything disappears ...
even in space without birds,
swamp without frogs,
sea without salted water
deserts without sand,
blood, without veins
poetry without poetry,
yet Poetry would it be ...?
