The Dawn of Darkness

It is a strange night;
A long, long night.
I lay sleepless…
This strange night is a bitch.
So is life.
Or rather my life.

The Evening Smiles Back

Don’t bank on an afterlife.
Nor on the immortality of soul,
The Sermon of the Blessed One
In the battlefield of Kurukshetra.

The Visitor

No doorbell announced the arrival of the visitor;
He just turned up one fine morning
And stayed put in the guest house
Full of visitors like him.

The Rolling Stone

My mind has dirtied the world.
My mind!
How frail you are!
It is hard to see
Within my cultural background.

26 Rowland Road

Cars and cars and cars
Here, there and everywhere
Cars of all makes
Brand-new cars, very old cars,
A motorcyclist gliding
Through the narrow space amongst the cars,
Coloured taxis laden with luggage
Oh, Kolkata!

The Train Whizzing Down the Track

Friends!
Enough for me
Just to be here
Among my fellow passengers.
I’ll get off at a station.

A Day Is Passed Away

From a height
The hawk has
A bird’s eye view
Of the grey waters below.
The hawk swoops down
On the shoals of fish
And catches one.

(For my wife, the woman who is full of life)
My weekend poem!
I am dry as a bone.

The Beginning of the End

If one believes in the Creation
The making of the world by God –
And it’s a big if
In the hard times one lives in –
The matter is simple.

A Fleeting Smile

How time flies!
I’ve got to round off
The last steps
With a note of acceptance
Of the whole of my life.

The Last Laugh

The owner of the house
The weak little mouse of a man is angry
Very angry with himself
For not running his life:
His stores are overrun with rats and mice.

The sun has long risen in the east
And the morning just wakes up
With a terrible hangover.

A Play in Three Acts

(1)
Let me define what is
By what is not.
Life is not a bed of roses
And that’s life.
More content, less bitter, please.

Death

We take a stroll in the garden,
My beloved and I
And all of a sudden I see
The garden is in full bloom early this spring.
What a nice surprise!
