Indian "I am something, who owns nothing. / I am nothing, who tries to own something"
She is a third world girl Living like a timid squirrel She needs hair, to live safely Ghettoes, Gulags, Auschwitz at every nook and corner Acid is boiling in disguise of hot tea Her dignity lies in her silence She has to bend her head to walk proudly She is a gazelle Not allowed to take a leap Hyenas had gifted her chain of freedom And there are posters in the streets: “A female terroristwanted…dead or alive” She had planted bombs of desire On her bare hands and visible legs.

She doesn’t want smooth skin
Now Since you are saying final goodbye to me, Collecting your belongings (Though you cannot cut your lips from my chest) I am compel to ask a final question: “is love an eternal tenant in my heart Or was it you, who brought it” If your answer is first Then I am losing nothing And if you answer later one Then I will be wealthier Because now One has to pay higher rent For my heart.

Learned lover
There comes a time In our life When we can feel sorrow of the mirror, his sadness And his longing for a true companion We can see, he is tired of Gazing into a beast’s eyes. And then We decide to leave reflection forever ☹ Why does prophecy come with broken hearts? Always!

Selfish Saints
He told me “He doesn’t believe in the God” But he used “THE” before the god And he didn’t put full stop at the end Then he asked me “Do you believe in the God” And this time He forgot to put a question mark.

An atheist
we were in love and we were longing for truth And now since we found it lets perform love's funeral on the bed.

An act of love
I should have done it in the early morning But I avoided it I turned my back And went to sleep. Then… Whole day I felt a burden on my heart I never thought Love can be so heavy.

An act of love
Red road, Yellow tears, White hope, Nobody wears. Black sky, Dead pigeons, bullets fly, Brown leather, Doesn’t match a feather. Green pain Eyes rain Amber wounds, kids sad And you say: not so bad! The ugliness of war Looks lovely When we see it Against light!!!

Kaleidoscopic war
What is more beautiful A shinning blood drop on a pigeon’s wings Or Peace treaties of United Nation? What is more expensive Van Gogh’s paintings Or his pain? If two eyes were able To see each other Would one admire other’s beauty? Why sea taste like tears? Does river carry earth’s pain into her heart? When someone left you For nothing! Then why her memories are so precious?

Question Marks?
We all wait... For money, For power, For love, And few wait for death But most of us Are waiting for life, And nobody waits for Nirvana. People cheat Because marriages are waiting for divorce Nations fight Because peace is, a white blank paper, Waiting for red ink ****** waits till first kiss happen First kiss waits till the eyes write poem on the body But… A cage should not wait for freedom Wings should not wait for sky to come down Big letters should not wait for small letters Instead of madness Loneliness should and must wait for solitude But the real problem with waiting is: We always try to fill, “FILL IN THE BLANKS” Ideally We should feel “FILL IN THE BLANKS”.

Waiting
Let there be keys without locks Let there be dictionaries without words Let there be homes without doors Let there be silence When we speak of love Let there be grace in our walk So that our poems will not ashamed of the craft Let there be matchboxes without sticks Because our children need them empty To preserve their childhood memories Let there be a metaphor in a worker’s sweat Because dewdrops alone can not carry poem on her shoulder Let there be a marriage (illegitimate though) Between a gun and a flower Because lonely streets look bad And a caged bird is always sad Let there be a reward to roots Because you look beautiful with flower in your hair Let there be a reward to cloud Because we all need to wash our hands, before prayer Let there be anger in our hand and peace in our head Let there be a blunt knife in our pocket Just in case… Let there be nakedness between all of us So we can look into each other’s eyes And say: “Our daughters are safe in each other’s garden” Let there be nakedness between all of us So when we make love “We make love to our beloved one only” Let there be no history Because we exchange hugs and kisses in present Let there be no geography Because contours of love are powerful enough To define our boundaries Let there be no mathematics also Because nature never counts her blessings And let there be a finite infinity in our life And enough strength in our legs So our walk to horizon would not stumble And we fall like an autumn leaf.
