migratory birds

across the border--

same blue sky

 

Presence #81, 2025 (Ed. Ian Storr)

she recounts

mystic relationship

umbilical cord

bridging oneness

of clouds and rain

 birds’ sanctuary

a sudden dark sound

washes away

the colours of the rainbow 

pouring  grief-stricken rains

****    ****    ****

tender rays

on the blooming buds

stepping watchfully

a born-blind gestures

what could be the colour of light

 

Creative Inspirations, May-June issue, 2025 (Ed.  Maurice J Reynolds)

 

 often we 

live in the cavity 

of our past

missing rainbow colors

and tender rain we shared

shades of colour he/she with unusual sunset

we live in possibilities dust through a tiny hole

 Independence Day--

the slum children rush after

skyward coloured-wind

*****

the entrance gate locked …

fragrance of  rajnigandha

far beyond the fence

*****

cloudy mountain range

one more story of journey

the twilight tinge holds

 

*****

a fossil river

pebbles have their long stories

to speak in silence

 

*****

for a middle-class …

a life of light and shadow

always in the play
