NEW  ALPHABET

Why you make so haste to shift
From one prison cell to another ?
At the end our life is the fragile wings of grasshopper
Beg the mercy of grave-soil.
Look the sleepy way you have just trodden  so far
It has  wiped all the trails of your prickly spur
See the listless moon
Gibbous though ,  don’t it borrow the blench of the woman’s face
Whom you clasp so animally  to satiate your
carnal love ?
Here, inside the bizarre tavern
Entangled with collective loneliness
More than a score of  beaten face
Swallowing the wine of dark in the silhouette curtain of dim-light
Life has offered them  but a loss
Nothing is so brazen  than success before them .
From the ethos of  poems
I plunge into void seeing
Fruitless  wedding of words and rhyme
Hours have come to embrace
Defeat  as we do it for triumph .

New  Tide

     Blowing up the bygone
New decade  storms in
Through my ajar door.
Its penetrating gale
Starts tingeing all- from
Door-bell to kitchen knife.

   Inside this overlapping surge
I set myself aside.
amid the prevalence of new tide
a hesitated swing of to and fro
leads me ahead.

On the wall, the profile of my late mother
Turns more faded.
I can hear the soft sibilance of death.
From otherside of  life
Leaving grumbling cackle
My little birdie strides fast
To bloom into elegant swan
Being convicted I am to gorge the pricking beauty of life.
