QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
You asked- how are you?
I replied: fine.
With deep erosion inside and in the left something very black
Exhausted I am approaching nearer to my death.
Still better, you only wanted to know;
Travelling a very long distance with voidance of this life
I wanted only to find shadow in the cover of shade;
From it an incorporeal shadow
In an aggrieved voice asked, fine?
In those two eyes dense cover, light of another planet.
Although there is a little trauma, a silent erosion;
Still then everyday the body breaks away, embarasses.
Whose shadows float inside the eyes?
Relaxed cool blood streams on the left side of the body oscillates;
In the momentum of blood what sound is heard!
Don't you understand anything?
In this inauspicious hour, what rosary I count?
This chest fills up by the pus of grief;
In ugly black incapable longing
You never seek happiness;
If determined to till, then why choose this siltless land!
Rain drenched fertile land will be worthy of you
Fleeting favorite mementos in ether will remain in breast.
That's better; mix poison in your voice
Pour empty ashen gray chimney's black soot in voice.
Let my severe erosion in your dream remain unrevealed;
Let this petty collection of life remain unrevealed.
I remain wake in your shade
An afflicted bee;
You asked, how I'm -
I'm fine, I'm fine!

DEMAND-SUPPLY
Just here is my hand, take
Just here are warm lips, disappear here.
Where are your coward Doe’s two eyes?
Where is that ardour deep light?
Where is that unsmelt touchless flower?
Where is that cap-a-pie dark hair?
Where is that deep forest, where is that bird?
Where is that covenanted perpetual Rakhi?
Where are those shivering breasts on chest?
Where is that light touched million million eras?
Where are those childhood days, those amusements?
Where are those time elapsing blubberings keeping face on chest?
Where is that hide and seek bath in pond?
Where is that song of air in tamarisk forest?
Perhaps you forgot everything,
Perhaps everything became memoirs,
Like a fallen star you cast off those feelings?
Never ever you will come back to this beach
You will not smile like a new dawn in unkempt hair
You will not raise unconcerned tremor in between leaves
Our familiar forest will not rouse by your warm light
Then our memorable days will ooze out thus?
Then this is oblivion, affliction of estrangement
Then this is erosion, then this is sin of heart!
Then why there is heart, why there is longing for heart
Then why rowing the boat against hostile waves?
Let the heart sink in tempest, let all love sink
Let truth be desire, let earning be gold of oblivion.

REJECTION
Passed one life
In moving wheels;
When time looks with indifferent eyes
At far away
Then who calls back -
Between leaves in the
Captivating bee hives?
Memoirs?
Can't be known in one life
This is an unknown ritual.
Still you have to leave;
Collecting petty collection from the heart
And accompanying it to a faraway country;
Passed one life
Knowing it you did not hold
These two hands
Loving only.
Didn't know underneath this chest
Why so much erosion;
What thirst belies in the concealment?
Didn't know this river
Why is so distressed in what pain and
Relentlessly flowing towards you.
Didn't know this affliction
Didn't know inside this chest
Whose blubbering murmurs for millions of years!

GIVE
Today I shall sleep placing my head on your arm
Bloom nights embroidery in your nipple.
My body will be eroded by your rose thorn
I will be pulled by crimson current - unprecedented defeat.
I shall drift in your river- nibble food and drink
Will you not allow me to row your naked boat?
You want shade of night veiled by yashmak of night?
I placed body over body - take this at least.
I pour into your oyster everything you deserve;
You offer me delighted feeling in this middle age.

1947
Dividing your heart into two pieces
By one blow of sharp dagger
Maroon love, like watermelon;
Screams from inside blood
Stunned subcontinent!

PRAYER
Sunlight never reaches here;
Neither in winter, nor in summer.
Instead of mighty domineeringly influential sunny days
An unsolicited irresistible thick darkness of night
Lies down in my courtyard like dead horse.
Do I love darkness
Don't I have any longing for light?
Then why coming out from the cave
Why there is mighty thirst in heart like prehistoric civilization.?
Where is my dream pervaded Kuber's chariot?
Where is my seven firmaments piercing turbulent Borrak?
Where is my last abode that
Extends beyond Sky-Hedes-Earth and universe
Where is that terminal light?
Where is that supplicated dishevelled unimaginable my god?
What affliction oozes out from the core of the heart?
How incapable, how helpless, how scandalous invocation of this illuminated night!
There is nothing nowhere
No sunshine, no golden light of stars!
Like one slice of darkness of the back of the earth
My world is glowing!
O lord, I don't have any thirst
I don't have any desire
I don't have any dream.
This incapable, ungrateful surroundings despise me
Because, I want to advance against current,
Against opposition wind.
This unscrupulous, self-seeking time,
Unsolicited enticement can't conquer me -
So I’m the most primitive man of the earth.
Yet I cannot ignite fire by rubbing stone over stone;
Forests rustling noise and soundless billowing of bird
Make me indifferent.
O lord, if the name of this earth's light is billowing
Exultation of self perverted joy
If the name of a sunny day is
Naked manifestation of imprudent achievement
If the name of crores of sunbeam is
Defamation of every moments worship,
Then o my lord, you give me not only darkness
But make me blind till death and post death perpetual life!
Worn out by the hurled sharp spear heads
This insult of impassioned, better
Let darkness gobble all rubbish of the world
TOWARDS ETERNITY
Innumerable stars bloom side by side in the sky for a long time.
Some of the stars are of moon age
Someone middle aged, someone nascent young, someone adolescent girl;
Someone just born -
Thus stars systematically grow beside wilderness.
Some stars among them glow like planet, emit light;
Then stars gathering lights of planet
Celebrate the festival very much.
Thus some extraordinary days are spent in delighted festivity.
At night of Sravana when one star suddenly falls
From constellation of sky to an unknown cave
Then mighty rain drops beneath the chest
Like mighty lamentation
Offshoots break away
House burns in scorching heat of lightning
Decorated garden is destroyed in earthquake
A terror stricken lamentation
Runs towards eternity.
One, two, three - thus in serial succession
Stars fall one by one
Acquainted stars see this scenario with their eyes open
And placing terror stricken eyes on their face
Sigh perpetually
In the chest of eternity.
In the mean time another star falls in space, in the firmament.
