The best gifts
come from the heart
rich with eternal love
like the lotus at the feet of a deity
...
Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
dishonesty is like a city of gold
bright on the outside
...
What misunderstandings reek the mind
when parents are unable to decipher
...
Night sounds whisper in my ears.
They tell me grave-yard stories of people
...
Please read me as I am
a book of words and pictures
...
Tonight
I look at the full moon
I gaze in delight over the shadows
among the tamarind trees
...
To feel
or not to feel
is the penultimate decision
if not the ultimate conclusion
...
Let me be
even for a moment
before you close your eyes
your Commander-in-Chief
...
Like A Song Bird
Every morning when I wake up
I open my dew-drenched sash window
...
