The Old Banyan Tree

The old Banyan Tree
In my village
Fell with a thundering noise.
People ran helter-shelter
many made a profit
And to many it saved
a month’s fuel
that was all.

The greatest Banyan tree
Of the country
The Mahatma
fell or rather was felled
it was 1948
that was not at all.

Till date
 his burnt-up limbs
are used and reused as fuel
 in all our politician’s career
to keep alive their cooking flame
A proverb comes here :
“Dead or alive
An elephant is worth
A thousand gold sovereigns.”

My Vision


Image result for vision jpg

The obscure sky shadows 
My reckless efforts 
And  I stumble again 
Hitting against the 
Hard rock of fate 

The wound is raw
The heart broken 
Yet I gather each fragment 
with much care and solicitude
in case a tear may block my vision

Winter Sky

Not a leaf stirred
winter sky standing still
in an unbearable silence
like the burdened soul.

Distant thunder
threatening to unleash
the torrential 
downpour,any moment.

How will  I face you
after years of placidity,desolation
I am so used to
my limits of solitude
your domain
spreading to eternity
so much freedom,so much space.

I feel lost
like desperate hands grappling
with uncontrollable waves
of the vast turbulant ocean
and time stood still 
like the overcast winter sky.

Books and Me

When I fell in love with books
fell madly, passionately in love,
you didn’t tell me that
I can’t live without books.

When you made the introductions
that I was committed
to the little kitchen set
in my toy trunk
that it was only
a matter of our
growing up.

Now that I blame you,
but it’s just that
bookcases don’t fit in kitchens
and
it’s a long walk to the library.

Besides,
who doesn’t know that
love and loyalty
can be tiring,
tearing,
when they are different.
