"meenakshi" poems
i stand
palms folded
in mute surrender
to the crescent bearing goddess,
whose fish shaped eyes
bear sole witness
to the final cosmic dance
into which
all beings
animate and inanimate
dissolve into
between
her sensuous orbs,
atoms and stars
music and cacophony
love and hate
consciousness and matter
all become one

It was a day
Somewhat resembling today.
When, abandoning Ramachandran, Shivan
And ****** Mary,
And leaving them to sit in the sixth standard again,
Forty three of them
Went single file to seventh A.
Where did these tears,
That were missing then,
Originate, now?
Ramachandran did odd jobs even then
Shivan’s mother was a beggar
****** Mary’s name itself spoke aloud
But what was wrong with me?
And That was what Meenakshi teacher asked too that day
If she were my mother,
I could at least have answered ‘O go away’!
It was later that Meenakshi teacher’s right breast
Got removed due to cancer
“It is because of the evil eye, teacher
In case the answer is correct,
Give me marks and send me to the seventh”.

I will tell
Surely tell
Wait until Meenakshi teacher arrives
I will surely tell
That you’d pinched me
You had hit me
You’d hidden my umbrella
Your hand had delved into my lunch box
And you picked up and ate the tender mango pickle
I’ll tell everything
That you’d peeped into my math book
And copied my homework
You’d forged my handwriting
You’d spilled violet ink
On the cover page of my science book
You’d inscribed
“I love you” in my palm
You’d scored on my back with the compass
Everything, everything
You’d called me names
Didn't you call me monkey?
I’ll tell that too
You threw the marbles
That my grandpa had bought me
Into the river
I’ll tell that too
You spoiled my new slate
That my brother had got me
That too
You had written in page fifteen
Of my double lined copy book
That Padma teacher isn’t good
I’ll tell that too
Well, nope
Not saying that
What if Meenakshi teacher relishes that
You may end up getting fewer whacks
At any cost I’ll tell
That you’d eaten
Raw mango with salt
In the classroom
Before the teacher came in
You’d written
The film song on the board
For sure I’ll tell that
Just wait and see
Teacher is going to grill you
You’ll cry
You’ll burst into tears
I’ll see that and burst into laughter
When you cry
I’ll drop some ants into your bag
Oh!
Have you already
Started to cry
Now wipe your tears
Hey, come and sit
Here
Next to me.
(If
you give me a kiss
on my cheek,
I won’t
tell anything.
What you refuse to give me that?
You don’t need to give that for free
When I grow up
I’ll return that;
Will give you double
Of what you give
Forgot to ask you something
The birth before the last
You’d borrowed
A 316 kisses
From me
When will you return them?)
I wish
to go to school with you
(Letters from inside My Stomach – A Part )

don't be afraid
moon eyed maiden
you're too delicate
for these night shifts you pull off
let's make a
make-believe world
where the beds are all the way up
to the ceiling of stars
just the way you like it
there's no yesterday here
no tomorrow
there's only now
and the tv playing
as you cook
food for the soul
will you remember me then
your friend from another time
like memories of a nice dream
after a song-like sleep
please do
because i love u
and i know u love me

Serendipity in you
Oh ! my sweetheart
I don’t know what I am to u ...
I wish to know much I mean to u.
But I always am hesitating to...
I am always addicted to u
I want to escape from u
I am trying but I am failing in that too
The only thing which resides in my HEART now is U
I don’t want to accept but I have to
That I cant separate from u
Oh! Beloved, lover and dream of everyone
I am jus ordinary to be loved
I am nothing but a piece of BEAUTY
Searching for ur soul
Will u accept my presence? or u will reward me disappointment
I don’t know the consequences.... but I JUS want u
I am afraid to be pushed out
Don’t push me out ..
oh! BEAUTY
SAY SOMETHING
Do u want me too
Do u like me like i do
I am waiting for these answers foretime
And i will wait a thousand years
Only jus to hear that U LIKE ME TOO ..!!
Oh !! my adorable ,
Thou lookest only upon SOUL , not BEAUTY
My words fly up .. like UR BEAUTIFUL soul
LIFE without u ... is meaningless like me without U !!
