Stop There!

Pencil Poet Nov 2017

Stop There!

I'm stopped every time I go the way
?Train must have babbled?
About its love towards me,
To the guy at the crossing.

Fingers

Pencil Poet Nov 2017

Fingers

His fingers caressed her lips
His fingers ran through her hair
His fingers showed her the heavens
Then one day she tamed down that thing
Fastening around it a ring.

Accumulate

Pencil Poet Nov 2017

Accumulate

Must have been small, puny?
Let it grow large, plenty.
?Wish if it were in my treasury.?
Alas! These are in my kidney.

Old Age

Son screamed
‘When will you grow up, Dad!’
Father nodded in remorse and cerebrated -
‘My heart remains young, Hallelujah!’

A flower,
She whispers to wind
?Sings to the sun, dances to the drizzling rain.?
A flower she breathes
?Nowhere but her sprout.

Through barking dogs
?Hooting owls, hissing snakes
?And twilight ghosts,?

Yawn is infectious too.

Photo Film Roll’s Lament

Once upon a time
‘Expose’ was to absorb moments.
Word and deed
Are now adulterated.

Physically Challenged

No sight
?No speech?
Yet skins converse?
Much after our phone calls.

Loving you;
the most selfish
And the most selfless deed I ever did.?
Love is indeed an enigma.

We broke.
She ascended, I descended.
She found her way back to God
I found my way back into The Soup.

Let's row into mangroves?
Run by sandy shores
?Let sea wash away?
The salt in our sweat.

With no wand, no spell,?
No potion, no incantation,?
We shall charm smiles

Baby Steps

With feeble little feet
?You make those wobbly little turns?
Do you realize you spin?
Each time earth to another direction.

Tight Corner

Tight Corner

‘Looks matter?’ she probed.
I held my silence.
As it is, it was difficult
To remain nonchalant
At the sight of her beauty.

Magic

Magic

Poem he named ‘Magic’
Vanished the day next.
He knew not of them stanzas
Etched to his writing pad
Invisible forever; Magic.

Poem I thought
May not be the poem you see
But poem you read
Is certainly the poem I wrote.

Ink

Pencil Poet Oct 2017

Ink

Gliding over my pen's nib
Seeping into paper's womb
Ink births me another poem
Through your eyes.

Art is partly created at the hands of the artist and partly at the eyes of the spectator.
