Short Garbs Poems

white snow crab must wade
in oily, thick, blackened tides...
dressed in widow's garbs

Born of blood

king of night

eyes that glow

with unreal light

Garbs of black

Hues of red

Eyes like coal

That make you dread

Predator eat pray

Cycle of life

Are you afraid

To come out of the light?...

The Surgery
The surgeon came in bright green garbs
A shinning steel blade in hand
Ready to glide it easily thru me
My body, my faithful companion
Ached and pained evermore
Under his able hands
My anatomy swayed and sang	
Chirping like a dewy bird
On a branch in spring
Like a passenger on a long journey 
His sutures brought a stop
Leaving me to cope with the pain
Of filing for medical insurance

went to the Shiva temple
with a bottle of Ganges water
and honey and blue flowers
started worshipping
Lord Shiva
at that spur
an ill clad infinitesimal boy
in dirty garbs and ruffled hair
came and sat in front of
the Shiva Linga
Is it 'He' in his form?
Trying to distract my attention
from satisfying a natural 'God'
than an inanimate statue
or an extra distraction
standing as a barrier
in the way of rites, rituals and prayers
and not being able to reach the destination....

trees in grey-green garbs
cuddle creepers and climbers ---
constant coitus

beside painted sky
doves parrot sparrows and hawks --- 
conduct chirp concerts 

trickles of torrents
the babble of breeze in booze ---
flowers in frenzy 

rainbow spread meadows 
floral funnels and tunnels ---
sapphire stones and rocks

cosmos is on a mission
of harmony ignition
