प्रसन्नता सी झूमने लगती है
तेरी एक बूंद से ही,
भर-भर के जब तुम आती हो,
एक पल के लिए कहूं,
कुछ पल तो ठहर जा,
मेरे अतृप्त मन को तो भर जा।

बिन बुलाए अतिथि जैसे आए तुम
लेकिन तुम्हारी प्रतीक्षा नैनों में रहे,
ऐसी अनुभूति लाते हो तुम।

मुझ हेतु एक अप्राप्य सौगात हो तुम,
मार्ग देखें जिसकी कोई हृदय के रोगी,
और वह नए-नए प्रेम के बंधन में हो जो।
किंतु,
भयभीत होते हैं कच्चे घर,
वह जिनकी रोटी भी अपेक्षा से आधी है।
प्रसन्नता का उपहार जहाँ कुछ के लिए,
दुःख के सागर भी तुमने भर के दिए।
एक ओर तुम्हारी हर एक बूंद जहाँ किसी के स्मित का कारण है,
वहीं दूसरी ओर यही अश्रुओं का कारण भी है।

टप, टप, टप बरसो हल्के-हल्के।।।

In darkness I slide
No fear and tension, for her
Womb's my fortress

Haiku - 69

Without any Expectations, she loved me
Without any expectations, she cared of me
Without any expectations, she managed my life.
She made my life beautiful.
She has gone now,
She was suffering from Cancer,
She didn't tell me,
How could I be so stupid? So unloving?
I never asked her about how she was doing.
I missed her.

The sorrow is yours,
As much as it's mine,
Your heart has rights to its tears,
The same way mine cries.

The treasured moments,
Are tucked,
In the curve of my lips,
Just the way they, sometimes, creep to your cheeks,
And make you blush.

The nostalgia, the sweet pang behind them,
Can be read in your eyes,
Just as obviously as they show in mine.

The sorrow is yours,
As much as it's mine,
Your heart has rights to its tears,
The way mine cries.

Don't bother drawing lines,
We are bound to cross,
My heart is crazy,
Just as bad as yours.

The rumors that transcend,
Like wildfire in dry woods,
My contribution to these stories,
Are as much as yours.

Give words to these memories,
A tune to these words,
The old tune that you'll hum,
Will belong to me, as much as it belongs to you.

My verses,
And your prose,
Tell the same tale,
Of same loss.

This sorrow is yours,
As much as it's mine.

Most bi*  r  ds call me ugly but
   I'm be  a  utiful & intelligent
     than  v  ultures and most of
  all oth  e  r birds gracing
   the ve  n  *etian skies

In their darkness they grew,
Like shadows,
Reaching for a deeper Hell;
In their blackness they grew,
Bound together,
As they stood by the other's side;
Destroying each other--
Bit by bit...

*Devouring each other--
Bite
by
bite...

Don't forget my loving,
My longing or my coveting.
Don't forget my loving
Of you.
