neglected garden
weeds out grow
 number of snow spreads
-----------------------------------
withered tree
sheds  ceaseless tears
winter's down pour-
---------------------
dancing round
the nude tree
the winter waves
strip tease
the nature, at its best
all snowy days
ruled out.
withered tree
stood alone
in same colorless  fashion
---------------------------
honey moon days
her curly  hair
nestles on my lips

burried
under mounds of snow
crocus flowers

bright sunshine
watering down
 the snow stacks

dancing round
the nude tree
the winter waves
strip tease
the nature, at its best
====================
my wife
snoring
 in delayed fashion
next after me
leaves me in jitters
===============
in between the lines
his words
sound louder
-------------------------------
narrow path
the realms of old age
a grey hair blade
-------------------------
nagigating through
thickened clouds
  GPS,effortless guide
-----------------------------------
as budget  rushes
through narrow gauge
people miss
all broad way hopes
once again
-------------------------
imaging its own face
in pond waters
a tree
------------------------------------
burried
under mounds of snow
crocus flowers
-----------------------------

prompt-narrow
-------------------
narrow path
leading to old age
a grey hair blade
------------------------
her silence and
my acceptance
a narrow road to heaven
---------------------
navigating
through western hills
sunset sky

an indian desert

walking through
an indian desert
a goat, tree and me, as friends
---------------------
be ready to hibernate
bumble bees
forecast of  heavy snow fall
-----------------------------------------
A loud thud was yesterday morning around 4-30 AM in this neighbour hood.many thought it for gunshot sounds,
some others thought it to be unannouced blasts from developing zone. some oncluded it for two cars crashing head on
moving in high speed. some others that it for a transformer explosion.many concluded it for the movement
of a helicopter just above the house tops. majority called 911 for needed assistence. seismologists said nothing was
recorded on their graph. This is declared as ice quake.

 *A cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake,
it  may be caused by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice.
 As water drains into ground, it may eventually freeze
 and expand under colder temperatures, putting stress on its surroundings.
This stress builds up until relieved explosively in the form of a cryoseism.

A loud thud was heard
neither sounds from congo- drums
nor cars, head on crash
or transformer explosion nearby
all, an  ice quake* in proximity,
freezing
thoughts of love
in niagara falls
water in cold weaves
beautiful to look at

I beat it
so hard and fast
with a mallet
it looks so smart
a minute after,a nail
-------------------
suddenly the power outage
i close my eyes
to keep silent
but the mosquito
buzzes loudly all around
---------------
watching
 a new movie
with restless eyes
a light on next door
flashes brightly on Exit sign
------------------------
after rain showers
a school going boy
whispers to rain bows
reflecting
on dew dropped glass blades.
---------------------------
as if it is
the last flash of light
his glowing eyes
look at her
with deep love.
--------------
the sunflower
with all its black seeds
appears reddened
after day long sunshine
battering on its beauty
-------------------------
as if
stained by sins
of the visiting devotees
the steps on river ghats
looks aghast slippery.

----------------------
after his last journey
the pall bearers
hug the silence all the way
only dried leaves on his garden
make weeping sounds
======================
