The dancing search.
On the city pavement he is dancing
And singing with a vibrating string--
Entrapped, the bird is crying.
Dancing and dancing, white beards flying.
His voice filled the air-- broken in despair
His composure radiates peace and pleasure.
What dichotomy is this, pray, will you talk to me?
Why son , with pleasure all your queries I answer.
What do you do? Where do you stay? What do you say?
-- I travel and travel, stay under the blue sky
For ages my thighs flowered,roads showered blessing.
I sing what I sing..... the bird is crying.
Afraid? No I'm not , alone to move ahead.
I'm told the king of kings himself is my shade
And shade for all who move ahead
And explore the road sans fear or hatred.
Purpose? My son, purpose? I'm in the search
Pulsating with the sea foaming around
I surf through the miles of urban labyrinth
I search the purpose, my legs never homebound.
No, I don't foresee my search's end
Though I ever pursue the road and every bend
But why bother, my son , why bother
Search and find the stories that matter.....

Loser and mother .
Wood she saw the trees too, whole and parts she suffered both
Mornings early, nights late, sandals mended hundred times -
Noons she walks on molten asphalt
Evenings in kitchen -in fire and water, she makes food - succour to life
Never waits for thanks, neither given by her man -what guilt her face reflects.
Wood she saw the trees too
But no wiser.
For she gets no fruit of
All her labour.
Ever so soft, so gentle though
Timid and shy, the week deer
Knows no bargains, shrinks in fear
Even if she pays her bills due.
Failed, she failed on every count, even at night
Her man in mount she takes but nothing comes out.
At midnight- all asleep- she stares at her child
Forgets everything in soft moon light that defy
The unkind city's great might.

The detergent guru.
Home he returned, the Management guru
High above the earth where no pest dare
Only bipeds flourish in conditioned air
Home he came, the arrangement guru.
Quality time, quality time he will spend
Morning he taught meditation, skills of relaxation
Incessant meetings on tactics,strategy brilliant effigy
Of brand and product that stand apart.
Sixty minutes of quality time prescribed
So he reaches tomorrow the preset target and exceed.
Sixty minutes flew past as fast as time, of nature, does
Did he savour the milky flavour of her baby? or the mother-
Could she with all her endeavour, fragrance and lure
Turn him into a lover, give him the sweat of pleasure?
He loosened his ties only to reach the bed
His musings, waiting for the sleep to descend:
Thousands of tons of detergent I sold
Will reach millions to- morrow, if I be bold.

Urban Joy.
Four geeks meet on a city street
City silicon lights on
Friday evening brightly shining
cars flying
past them four pals
Two lads two gulls
In search of joy they meet.
Five days they spent in typing iostream.in
iostream.out and cold codes in between
For them faceless blokes who can't count
Allot hotel rooms or keep trace of account
And for those who want to enter
every detail of every body in a computer.
Blocks of meet they consumed, dairy fat and Kohinoor rice
Endless cups of coffee, power naps to feel nice.
Now is the time to spend, spend the life at weekend
Now is the time to revel, revel through the night's veil.
Last weekend it was hell of a fun
Agrees everyone, shall make more memorable this one
Their bikes roared, one pair in each
Towards discos, or binge or..........
Next week and the week after and ad nauseum
They will pursue pleasure, gleeful or glum.

Urban dream.
Sitting in my cubicle, furnished by man to the hilt
Vividly do I see the country God built
Or so they say; lying by the poolside in Bengal's bush
on the soft green grass tender as love's own breast,
Long coconut palm rising high
Desire of the earth to mate the sky,
Soaked in cool breeze humid affection I get.
Day passes by without any how or why
Flowers blossom and dry, my own eye
has been witness once to the magic
The grace and mercy that she offers
conquers grief or makes it less tragic
Lust, keenest of desire, passions raw
crossed the border, turned into love I saw
By the time the dust raised by homebound cattles
gave twilight the splendor and color of dream
as evening approaches, spell of darkness settles.
One by one the women kindle the lamps, beam
Of soft rays gleam in web of spider's thread
Again and again I shall come to the dream
Even though tossing in ambition's urban bed.
