Don't ignore the flower
Appreciate its kind nature

When we praise a great virtue
We automatically absorb its beauty

Fall
In love

With God

Death will be a humble invitation

Teach your children,
O parents,
Spiritual sciences
To let their souls get electrified.

Honey memories
are flyspeck chandeliers,
Gleaming in the mutable azure.

When we're under the shade of sadness,
They shimmer,
And we walk again, joyous like a child
That finds its mother after being lost somewhere.

They are the wheels
on which our minutes move on,
And we sit on them as nonchalant as the pelicans on seats of the ambling animals.

You say forget me
As if you were an advertent-neighbour-passenger,
Giving me little share
Of your jewellery-moments,
And then alighting at the next junction, going into clouds.

Is it easier to let the macaws-perching-on-the-palms time slip from the mind?

And you say
Forget me like a fickle child to its objects.

You were the person
I'd dreamed of since coming into age
And yearned for tying the knot with forever.

My Love,
Forgetting you is like chopping my forefinger myself!

And you don't know
Those memories are not sparkles;
They are you eating next to me,
Sleeping in my arms,
Sipping coffee beside me hand in hand,
Sauntering with your head down my shoulder.

How can I forget you? And you say forget me.

Each layer is a stony road.
To cross them,
Eyes have to suffer.

Without suffering, nothing is sweeter.

Onion contains gates of success.

The snow blowing fast;
The still huddle of penguins;
Union-survival

Yourself
Is the only creature

That gives you hundred percent loyal help to your any cause.

When the temperature is minus fifty,
Penguins huddle to survive.

What a great story for us.

It's not the wings of the bird
That help it
To go through the thick fog
To reach its nest

It's its strong determination.

I'm, too, Indian.

Religion isn't my skin, caste,

register.

I grow with branches,
Exhaling in the air,

Inhaling.

You too blow in it.

In your sky, I sparkle;
In the pond I don't sprout.


My minarets are massive,
Historical,

Your assest.

I'm too Indian.

I recite the national song
In the file of every citizen.

Lynching cannot divest me
Of my last bed in its land.

I'm too Indian.
