See-Saw

November '10

misty mountains
serenades of sonnets
instantly spreading blotting ink
dropping drops of loneliness
drip drip drop drop
up you go
down you go
seesaw seesaw
mood swings

DRIFTS
Drop by Drop
Drip by Drip
It Drifts
Pull it along
A circle upon another
More circles upon each other
It goes on and on
It Drfits
Drip by Drip
Drop by Drop

LIFE love
High on love
Spirit’s dwindle
Life’s but a memory bundle
Stacked and stacked
Rolled and tied
Pull out the dirty ones
They rot
Oh!
They stink

WILTING PETALS
The eyes refuse to open
To see the written words
In a blink the world went dark……
Shocked open
The dropping petals
Watch the dream unopen
In disbelief

EXTREMELY MODERATE/ MODERATELY EXTREME
What drives the melancholy
Whenever the ink flows
It isn’t such a strain
Still this is what it shows…
Extreme was I
Still extreme but moderated
The ecstasy of the poles
Somewhere lost in the tropics

THE ENDS
Zig-zag trails
The paths wind
What’s there on the other end
I cannot fathom….
Light, I hope
Light, it is
Light of hope
It is, It is


100.5 DEGREES
The pain slowly sets in
The fever begins to tremble
It’s not what you think it is
It’s what you may imagine not
Not food, not thought, not lifestyle
It’s the words, the poetry
It’s in the mind.

KALADEISCOPE

 Let’s write, Let’s write

Let’s think in ink, in charcoal, in graphite..

Not aloud, yet expressed

Yes, Let the thoughts out

A world of Black and white,

I envision

A world of just Black!

Or just White!

Really! Did u say the Black in the White?

White through a prism, a glass, a lens,

Sprays a gamut of the rainbow seven

And in the absence of white….

…the absence of the VIBGYOR

The Black.

A world also of Greys my Dear

The grey area

With the grey cells

The most important matter my dear

A world of varied colours

A world of varied moods

A world of conflicts

A world of peace

A world of despair

A world of hope

A world so

Violet with the light divine

Yet, so bruised with the purpling poverty

Merry it goes in the vineyard dance

Oh! Did you smell the lilac?

A world so

Indigo with the nation’s pride

Where the soaring skies dip to sensex blues

And the cobalt sapphires glow a trifle light

Yes, one plans to swim the deep seas!

A world so

Green with fauna, flaura and flaunt

Yet, the envy piercing through the key-hole

The houses are big, filled with cash

A leaf, a leaf, a leaf

Produces chlorophyll

Anyone needs oxygen?

A world so

Yellow with lemons and sunflowers and gold

And smiling sunshine of learning children

Yet dirty, yes yellow and dirty

With jaundiced treachery

A world so

Orange with oranges n apricots n peaches n papaya…

An orange dusk and an orange dawn…

The veiled journey, relentless, everyday…

Every single day

The saffron sprinkles

A world so

Red with mirth of divine festivity

Where love reigns supreme

And Kama does ancient dances of seduction

Clueless, Scarlet waits in the Conservatory with a Dagger
