Keep these verbs
you may require them
to bend a steel of wrath-
sharp weapons from behind
...
Let rain bring back the rhyme
from beyond mythical hills:
dry stony earth, this page,
cracks of my mind full-
...
I am just forty
when my father
at seventy-three's duskglow
runs with

Loneliness, you come to me
in my morning varandah and sipping tea
when after crushing summer
comes first the brave busy shower.

Milestones of a forlorn road
lie wayside
under mists and partial shadows
behind wintercanvas -

Mysrerious earth would it be
when you and I sit together-
this grand old river of good wishes
like the meeting table in between us
...
Tonight, the world is too drenched,
the unmoved earth too distilled
under films of rainy shades-
I dream, in such a soaked, sultry night
...
yet I return trudging
back to your port-
knee deep water
where sorrows sport,
...
Some good cracks
tired walls, now you're
flogged
black and blue-
...
Dear words,
once my playmate
too lovely and bold,
now drifted so far and slips

its fantastic is piled up in disharmony,
the far-off towers and porches

in brown hours
like the unravished letter
trapped inside a brown envelop.

Verbs And Nouns Of Love
Keep these verbs
you may require them
to bend a steel of wrath-
sharp weapons from behind
grow flashy: into wounds
they strike certainty of destruction.
Be sure, that I may not come-
not even my surreal shadows
from this portion
of your soft yellow light.
These nouns that once
acted hopefully
like a complacent boatman
to steer our way of love-
floated us down in the divine stream-
washed our nights and days,
our burning suns and cloyed moons-
with surfs and salts of life,
see whirl of doom.
When you prefer to run down north
south must be left behind-
and fade unknown...
when brooding flowers
will fill your hands
trees'll gape empty
and suffer neglect of our eyes...
Love the rhyme and vision of north,
keep the flowers' hues on your eyes-
but before that
you have to prove others futile-
Take these verbs,
those throttling nouns
to mend your weapon speech
They will perish your old choices
under new sun.
Be rife with arguments
like old Roman friend, Brutus.
