Father to children

I have love,
a child..
emptying bottles,
the stench of funerals

God's losses,
made mine..

Living away from mother

I fling stones
towards the sky
with my tears hanging
off them,
Why does mother,
write letters in the dark,
They rain not
in her arms

In the court of life..

Life: i do not wish to bear your company anymore..Both of you...have stretched me beyond my existence of which now very few or none understand the meaning..
Happiness:But why me??...i made you worthwhile..i was the reason every pulsating heart grew richer to your value...
Pain:But without me...that value would be unlearned..

Life:i despise you both..It is your utter disregard for the nature of certain things that forces me to treat you the same..I am the ruler of all..and i shall decide
your worth..You both have for long enough occupied more space than you were given..I have twisted and turned to satisfy needless entities,your seeds..For once
now i want to be free...I want to unburden myself of you, pitiable pharaohs of hearts...

Pain: I will follow you ..Wherever you go..I'm endless..I exist because of you..
Life:I dismiss all vengeance that you may hold....I ride away from none..And i ride to none..The art of escaping has become being nailed and hung on the wall..And that
is where i wish to be now...

(Just then the door to the courtroom opened..A wailing sound followed, siphoned by the sound of the winter breeze)
A grubby man stumbled inside..The person seemed tired and wore nothing but a draggled coat..It seemed he had been living under a fiery sky for ages...
 He seemed broken and distraught...

Pain(laughing):I have claimed another..
Happiness:Ohh poor soul..your time will come..wait for me

Life:Who are you?? And what do you seek??
The squalid figure mustered a few words...
"i have come from far away..I live alone ...in forsaken lands...I dissipate everyday with my own existance and cower in my own filth..I do not have a shadow to talk to...And i don't have time to admire the sunrise or the sunset.....i dance in the coldest places..with nobody but the past watching....i bemoan my existence with each passing moment.."

Life(unperturbed):Again..Who are you ?? And what do you seek??

The man started crying uncontrollably,but not before saying...
"I'm death..and i seek love"

The room imploded with sound laughter....

Moksha

The face of a woman
being dragged in sand,
from the sea

Buddha,setting on fire
a flightless bird

Evening optics

the sun

         a drunk magnet

Rainy day


listen to the child
the rain,
lost in the wind

Listen to the wind,
the rain
is a child,again

The night and growing up

The halo of sweat and games
drawn on the ceiling invisibly
the murmurs of daunting tasks
echoing about the head,
i feared opening my eyes
for i thought
blackness,of all night
was the light, i couldn't see

In the desert

The grievance of thoughts
resonating with songs unsung
the sky askew with reflections
of this cold desert night...
the moon sits with the puppeteers grin...
my heart unleashed..upon me....
