Life

To me 
Life is an affair 
And a fair too
When affair  
I caress it
When a fair
I loiter about 
And relive 
My childhood

Shackles

These shackles are related to me for a long time 
They sat on my limbs like precious ornaments for years 
When ferocious loneliness in the prison would spread 
On my mind like a desert, the jingles of the  shackles proved 
The world’s sweetest music to me

Now I am all free 
Yet a sense of bondage lingers within me
Every day in the morning I sit in the cushy Sofa  
And caress those symbols of slavery for no reason 

My son asks me, ‘Papa,
Why do you play with the shackles?’
Now how can I convince him that 
The shackles have entered my nature?

Song Birds of Dream

The song birds
Of my dreams   
Sit on the sill
(Where I sleep )
And sing achingly
I get drifted 
In the world. 
I crave for it
When I am 
All awake.
Would that 
The songs take 
Over my life!
Just then …
My wife calls
Out to me 
For a walk 
Frightening 
The birds away 
I open my eyes 
To see the world
Filled with elegy
