Since that first morning, shining and pure,
The white cliffs of Dover I saw rising steeply

With hands of double-patience under the clock,
The antiseptic arguments and lies
Uttered before the flood, the submerged rock.

Smoking your cigarette in a peaceful way
Distant look in your eyes

As skies offer sunshine anew.

Nursing his knees, too rheumy and cold

All countries of the Catholic persuasion,
Some weeks before Shrove Tuesday comes about,

Though today it seems I am locked in a midnight zone
Tomorrow I will not walk into the dread of the night
But shall be led by the blazing light

In the tall cotton of wisdom.

Run like a river,
And Time's endeavour
Be tried in vain ­

Under the flowing lustrous holy river
Where the white dove of wishes
Floats on the chariot of stars

The right foot leads the other
Adventurous eyes fixed on his mother
Her caring voice echoing

What lies ahead for him in this world?

taking on familiar faces

I was taken back to yesterday

I walk along the tram line: night now deep
I hear the teasing of some life of the past:
‘You are like a broken tram—
there is no depot, you don’t need wage

Years rolled on and on.
Child Narendra grew up well,
As a boy strong and tall.

From the year two thousand and eight.
As is the custom to celebrate it.

The witty evil spirit* lived
Upside down teasing easy‘n free
Hung all day long it remained!

Should go as little cumbered as they may.

Homeworks not completed,
Assignments and projects delayed...
Exams tension,

That rotates at its will
I indulge in a shadow boxing
With the insider

All hanging hereabout to gather how he's going to bear

Between the dishes and laundry
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
I’m still here.

Whenever it rains
On parched earth
It no longer sends

As black imbued black, so was rendered the pitch of darkness
That befogged this godforsaken yard of graves -
And too the dank, ‘til now forgotten chapel that
Did little to grace these forlorn grounds.

My soul was amidst in the dark
straying out the piercing

Where in bright days, long past, we played together?
Do you remember all the old home faces

She is the ever changing wind
Blowing wildly across the empty stillness of the continent,
Like a restless spirit with a mountain of bitterness sent
To roam around the loud universe,

Light filters in the windows while inside she is screaming
At her past of brutal rejection
As the teasing light is streaming.

The joys of naughty fun

A few words of teasing to spare
A smile thrown in...

That there is a Firmamant
Between us?
Amid silent box springs

into a song upon his luscious lips,
to make the rhythm of my heart
a gentle melody in his ears.

A young man struts by carrying a torch
He winks at me with a crazy stare
As I sit here in my rocking chair

While lounging in a chair, I looked up at the ceiling
Where, teasing my imagination,
A circle hangs above the quiet lamp,
And spins just like a ghostly shadow.

Waiting for the green light,
The journey is about to end,
I am afraid to be checked and fined,
