perfection

<<<<<<<(((((((perfection)))))))>>>>>>>

standing

on the fringe of infinity,

looked into the abyss.

the bottomless chasm

stared at me.

i gazed into her velvet eyes.

they began to ripple,

as a passion cherished in her depth.

she knew

she was with an enormous void.

the tide and time

<<<<<<<(((((((the tide and time)))))))>>>>>>>

__________________________________

the tides asked the time:

'why are you busy running?'

the time said: i've to run fast,

to ask the sun to come as he likes,

and bid farewell at night

as the people here need darkness

to awake into a bright dawn,

though they felt it a chore,

but do not think,

you are immortal,

a few more crores of years are there

ahead to finish your cliche.

so be quick always

to let the moon also

do her lovely chore.

and so we can hear her singing

to the twinkling sky,

and sleep in peace

and wake up refreshed."

the tides yet went on

with their tedious chore

translation of poem by sasthrusarman

<<<<<<<(((((((two sculptures)))))))>>>>>>>

in the iron cage

in the courtyard

the idol felt alive

when it barked

in canine delinquency!

in the patio

the aged sculpture,

bent and leaned,

plunged into a plump seat,

seemed alive

when coughed sometimes!

translation of poem by sasthrusarman

<<<<<<<(((((((the woods)))))))>>>>>>>

this woods-

a continuous scream

of a green being

who prayed and prayed and died.

compassion

(((((((tears of the ants))))))))

today
as i launched
the paper-boats,
a folk of ants on board
left their huts
to reach the bank yonder
and dine and drink and stay on
till the monsoon gone
in their home land.

their tears ran in rills,
at the sight of my boat
drowning and drowning
and as sadly knew
the greatest
shipwreck in their lives.

rainsong again

<<<<<<<(((((((rainsong)))))))>>>>>>>

a cool breeze
whispered through my trees.
a floating flock of clouds
whispered in my ear,
'let us downpour.'

one drop,two drops
seeped and seeped out
from my hands
in boundless zeal.
i simply gave a pat
on back of clouds.
soon i heard a thunder shattering
in winning streaks a lightning too.
then i shouted into clouds:
o,monsoon,
come soon!
come soon !

hearty wishes to those who sleep well

(((((((to those who dream)))))))
***************************

when i spend my sleepless nights

thinking of my lazy dreamers,

comes a sky of their own.

and stars are twinkling

in that shallow blues.

let me sing and sing for

the dreaming creatures:

flinging far off a puzzling day,

night has come to the dreamers.

tracing came a tramping breeze,

laden with a dizzy spell,

creeping into the hearts of them.

before flapping up their wings

into an orbit of their lovely dreams,

let me strewn my joy,

aways on them,always on them.
