ODE TO A WOE

You walk 'way, brings you back
Inexorable a dream
Wishes fly blue... Taking deep breaths
soothing the fire within...

I 'wait, see dry leaves fall
with long moments which pass,
bereft of home, sky and love
you rest on dead grass...

Monsoons come... go, taking your mirth,
and they leave you dead...
Dry leaf thou art, to decay on earth;
wet soil's thy death bed...

Swallows come back, new leaves sway,
you rest on those earths; grim...
I wish it could, brought you back,
inexorable my dream...

PSEUDO SONNET-13 (SHADOW OF HER MAN)

{ This is an experimental acrostic poem. This has 14 unmetred, non rhyming lines. }  S he walked down that deserted street... Alone. H er face stern to suppress flow of tears. A nd others smiling at her torn clothes, D ark cut marks, rewards from that beastly man, O n her limbs and torso, rewards from him, W ho had killed her man, profaning her love. O n and on she walked, beastly eyes kept smiling. F orbearing her from meeting those greedy eyes... H er feet dragged her towards that graveyard, E ntombed, where her man was lying, clad in orchids. R akes of city crept behind her... She ran. M erging with her shadow, someone gave her faith. A nd walked with her arm in arm untill her death. N one except her felt- the shadow of her man.
