Bindu. [A poem in Hindi]
Ik roop naino se man mein uttra
Mano dooor kshitij par ik madham sa bindu ubhara
Dhire dhire meri aur badha
Bindu bana ik chand
Roop ne karvat li
Hua chand se pyar
Tab hua milan
Ik madhur milan
Ik sukhad milan
Mano do aatmain samaa gai hoon jismain
Tab samay ki dhara baha ley gai
Milan ke is sukh ko
Usi kshitij ki aur
Chand phir ik bindu bana
Sukhad milan ki dard bhari yaad
jaise dooor kshitij par ik madham sa bindu
Chand ik bindu
Bindu ik roop
Bindu ik yaad
Bindu ik dard
Bindu ik aas
Jeevan ki aas
Asha hi jeevan
Bindu kitna chota sa par kitna mahaan.
[1972]

The sea and the solitary soul
Quiet, near the sea
But miles away from the crowd
Stands the solitary figure
Whose gaze pierces the depth
The dark sea and the dark night
Appears mysterious and too frightening
But she stands unbaffled and remote
The dark sea echoes within her
Remote and alluring…
Both are calm
But with a tumult inside
She is now closer to the sea
Herself the solitary figure
To be one with the sea
To share the isolation
And the alluring mystery

What is more important
Migrating for success is not a must,
To another part of the earth's crust
As humans it's important to be just
Humanity should always come first

An ode to the diode
Beginning from the vacuum diode
The long forgotten tetrode and pentode
Small devices which drove large loads
To them I dedicate this ode
They took shape as a mechanical switch
Driven by an electromagnetic relay
However, they operated with a glitch
And also with a terrible delay
They made the first computer as big as a room
A very slow machine, nevertheless smug
The end was heralded quite soon
Between the contacts when they found a bug
A new era the vacuum tubes did usher
A result of brilliant innovation
They were promising and seemed to assure
For the existing problems a solution
Tubes required heating which dissipated power
That was a waste and a problem at hand
The remedy was silicon, as light as a flower
Available in abundance in grains of sand
Silicon replaced tubes and were called solid state
Designed to amplify, attenuate, flop and flip
They grew at a tremendously rapid rate
Millions integrated onto a single chip
The inventors had perhaps never dreamt
Of the uses silicon now does find
Whenever technology makes an advent
Electronics can never be left far behind
Any complex mathematical calculation
Is brought down to a simple logic
This is called the binary operation
But the switching has got to be pretty quick
Technology is but a means to an end
It all simmers down to a zero and one
Life needs to be lived, my friend
Packed with much laughter and fun

Faraway Call
Far out in the wilderness
The woods, the hills echo a voice
A voice calling me to come closer
To embrace the mysteries of nature
To know her deepest secrets embedded within,
Nature- the immortal beauty,
Like nymph Calypso with all her charms
tries to imprison me forever
So that I may never back to where I belong
The concrete jungle of mine...

Moving To You
I spiral closer to your edge
I hear your thoughts
Your senses leading me to hidden places
I find you dancing in time's vortex
And I cry at the distance between us
I follow your fire and dance with your destiny
I hear time wail and I walk into the smoke
To reach you and hold your hand..
To take you back to ride the winds
Where you and I are living thoughts
Where you and I were one,
One light, one life, one thought...

Unaccompanied
The safe brilliance of my tender mornings
A hundred limpid dreams exchanged
Secrets I weave into my eternal dance
I hold them close, my essence awake
Every breath I breathe turns me around
Into myself, Edens at my doorstep
A thousand shards of my brittle wisdom
Scatter around, smiling from centuries
My evenings turn sienna, on a distant shore
Barefoot in the breeze from a solo life
My thoughts skip around every soul in flight
Catching million sighs like fireflies at nights…

True Dance Infidelity
Moving in quiet on my still life silked
Heavy wings on our lives, they flap urgent
Songs of allure circle my birds of prey
A promise now and sometimes the dirge
Games we started true on captive hours
Now a plot never thought of, it unwinds
Reeling in desire we blind our faiths
Rhythm divine from closed off frontiers
We dance in true, and out again on chains
Waltzing out his marriage on few stolen hours
His infidelity my crime, on ports of true-dance…

Sawan Aaya [A poem in hindi]
Baadal aaye aur hain barse
Loag kahte hain sawan aaya.
Dharti thi tapti
Aag thi barasti
Jalta tha har ek badan bhi
Iss sawan ki phuhaar ne
Kitni rahat di in sab ko
Haan priyey yeh sawan aaya.
Iss pal priyey Tum jo hotien
Hotien jo tum
Hota aalingan
Bheegta tann mann
Lagti ik agan
Tum jal apsra si lagtien
Aur main tumhein bahoon mein layta,
Priyey kitna anand tab hota
Sawan mein tera sangg jab hota.
Par priyey tum kya jaano
Iss sawan mein
Dooor desh mein
Thaka haara main ik rahi
Tere milan ki aas mein
Saans hoon layta
Aankhien hain tarasti
Aankhien hain barasti
Haan priyey yeh sawan aaya. [1973]
This Is It
My moment of truth yet to be revealed
This is it, rings this crazy night…
I could find him anywhere I look
On every leaf's water tip,
In fountains, in their revelry
I can learn to finally sleep warm
On our mingled breathe
Like music in exhilaration, soaring bird heights
Drumbeats on every heart's thud
He is my euphoria, he bends every rule
Just as I break everything he once was
We romance life and ride every wave
Its sometimes him and other times me
In every single molecule that we encompass
Our signature presence inside each other
Some moments we die, and I see my truth
In his beautiful eyes so reluctant to reveal
I am everything he is, I walk alone with him…

Void
Silence shuddered in night's deceptive arms
Memories rose and fell to insane rhythms
There was bliss that smiled for a fleeting lifetime
Which morphed to a viper's coil spewing rage
At neglect of an absent lover's selfish memory
Obsessive yearning threaded through insomniac nights
Patterned in the ebb and rush of latent desires
Needs to be met from hasty promises
Hollowed to fruition at lust's virulent grip
Trysts in creation pulsing their pagan cycles
Scents of life, of a most guarded saga...

Images of their silence
Awake again with the new dawn on his morning
He rose with memories as mist from ice lakes
She would be solo, by their jasmine terrace
Hugging herself, their tender dreams guarded
He couldn't move, solo too in quondam roles
Of colors from choices and reasons forced faded
Lost now in this new dance, his destination lit
Limbo spaces for him, his rainbow bridges
Tears she laughs away from letters revealed
She waits for his footfalls sure as their sunrises
She is a true poem in his sculptor-hands, each time
And tears blind him too, as his chisel rings blue…

Name For a Phantom
Who are you stranger as you walk through my days?
All I did was, to wish on my phantom
He was to be an enigma, sleeping in my dreams
A silent partner to the phantom I really am
I didn't plan to give him your name
I didn't plan to be drugged on your thoughts
Now I look for you in everyone I turn away from
My senses shun those dreams I once used to feed on
Would you go away when its time for your freedom?
Would you disappear into those cobbled streets I cant do?
If I call this love, you would teach me different,
Can I call this our dance, would you step in then?
Stay on stranger, this is my last dance
Dream with me please, this could be your true dance…

Déjà vu
There it was again, that familiar awakening
In your arms, in that ecstasy, too exquisite
The intoxication, like traveling through light
Through those eons we did together as one
It all comes back to me the same way
One moment of your ancient presence
Your breathe upon me; I find my way back
Overwhelmed with memories of our lives together
The security that blankets over my feverish senses
One more moment with you, I thirst in elation
In your arms, not of this earth that binds me
I reel, I fall, I wake up in you, euphoric again
The ancient secrets of our mingled breathes
Your gentle kisses; ballads from all of time
I am alive in everything you witness, I am you
Take me again beautiful, rhythm me your secrets…

Moments Again
Sunsets from old wise evenings
Remain untouched, never tasted
Winter phantoms walk the woods
To find their footprints lost
Your letters scatter limpid dreams
Dance in bonfires burning distances
Secrets locked in mountains buried
Point ways to the sole crucible
Masked actors in each other's orbits
We evolve codes of things lost
Never revealed, like your hands on me
Rhythm in rustles from autumn winds
Browns I color from a thirsty summer
My truth during my days of faith
We dance though you will never be mine
My reason that I will never lose you…

Requiem for losses
Silence must be the last song of sanity
As wishes and dreams often go missing
True hearts ride the crest tireless
Hard flights on sometimes broken wings
Some fly true, they carry their stories high
On fragile wings that have never known rest
Solo in essence, yet they lead from the borders
To horizons beyond, far ahead of time
They are the loaners to the winds of change
The pavers of those unfamiliar longings
Their presence linger as gentle reminders
Of places yet to be reached by the flock
Birds of passage, they have no true homes
They are seen by those who need them most
When their work is done, their plumage bloodied
Broken and scattered, they are always the hunted…

My Dark Angel
I could reach out for him in all my solo mornings
Him at my borders, guarded, steel and strength
My dark angel brooding, hooded eyes on me
Not a moment's let, and yet the turbulence!
He is everyone I want, he is all I know of life
He is my mystery intact, he is every unspoken wish
Every moment we leave undone, has its unsung charm
We slough our essence on each other, every whim's dance
He is mine and he is not, like I am his on not a single night
Like hunting together, like feeding on each other
We devour moments that slakes on our distance
Watching resilience and steel sing their swan song
I am every woman, I carry all his mysteries
I am everything he will never have in his lives
I am earth, I am moon, I am femininity and nighttime
The Yin he starves for in his fires, suns and daytime…

Moon's Song
I race sunsets, I wear out sunbeams
I am the madness inside of every desire
I tiptoe in motes that hold distant promises
Tossing little secrets to winds of change
I harness the sun away from his days,
His evenings bound to my silver mane
Dusks churn out from our brilliance together
And then I dance in, queen of your nights
I haze your mind under my lunar gaze
And draw you out of your languid life
I sweep out wishes and pour them into days
And have the sun catch them, to bring them alive
I am the goddess of tides and waves
Your allegiance to me is bound by the forces
The Sun and Earth birthed you into this world
But it was me you were destined, to find your dreams…

Crazy Notes
I woke up the flowers before sunrise today
To hear about the imminent song
They seem to know your route to Eden
As wisdom paused too late and shuddered
Yesterday I was at the edge of the world
My silence around me did some crazy moves
The frangipani dew rained wet on my senses
Fragrant whispers as my sanity swayed with you
Our jasmines lit your radiance once more
Star-lights on me, your face from before sunrise
Your silver-hair kissed from my sated nights
Your arms slowly tightening their moon grip
You cant let go of me as yet, as we drench
Hand in hand in the rain, as I vapor in you
From days you are gone, till you return to us
Slivers of reality tangoing schizophrenic…

Delirium
To miss a loved one, to challenge the vacant
To suspect that this is all an illusion
No dad's love, no loved one's presence,
Delirium fevered, tossed and obsessive
I swat at my realities turning skeletons
Incessant fears, they raise their dark hoods
They get kaleidoscopic in my matted hair
I am just another pair of eyes, stalking the void
These walls mutter their raging spells on me
Their silent screams drown what I have saved
I have screeching nails scouring down my sleep
Is all been so long, since his dark death
Thorns on torture, I still look for his body
Where do I put away all my love for him?
His life got over when he wanted out
Some flowers they bloom unsung and unfound..

Dichotomy
Cherishing moments, their memories flee time
Living their lives away by themselves
Solitude marks them, their dance without the other
Threading secrets into their lone existence
She trails his footsteps, and he, he goes where she would
Tandem in life, their rhythm in perfect symmetry
Their silence fall gently on each other's universe
Keeping them together in two separate worlds
The prince of darkness cannot hold her light
It's a sequence they are cloaked in, to battle out life
Their times together cannot be revealed
That's the price they pay, to live out their truth
Grant them a wish, and it would be, each other
Just the one thing their lives would not hold
Ways of realties steel meshed in the matrix
Locked in love, forging on through layered realities...
