Let My Creation Perish!
If I don't get hurt in your sufferingsIf in human atrocitiesAnd genocide I don't get stirred upThen let all my creation perish here.
If through the touch of your heart's fireAnd creationRain docsn't fallFrom rny poetryThen let all my creation perish here.
lf I fail to laughIf the light of the nightDoesn't wake up from me withinAnd I fail to draw picturesMixing with serenity of dawnThen let all my creation perish hcrc.
ll I fail t0 bow down before the fcet of thc grcenll rny lips do not tremble seeing the smilc of a naiveIl rvhile breaking myselfWrrds stay suppressed in incensementl'ltcn let all my creation perish here.

llow are you? Rose, red colored flowcr, rcd Olcandcr, 'Mahua', 'ShiLrli'
t'low are you? Silly green trees and plants....
Alright!!! I know you all are intensely suffcringl;orcsts are getting lost
l)o not think I have forgotten you!Arc you all changing?
I know you can no longer spread the colorfirl slry
With your enchanting smell.Tell me how I will sing from my heart
ln this deep dark new moon night.Besides civilization I rvant you all to be more near-
How are you? Yellow bird, Dream-kite-If I could get you all in the core of my heart
Perhaps I would then open theLocks of many doors of my mindHow are you koel? You hardly come into sightIf this crowded town could hcar your voice oftenMay be, men would have bccn lrtorc lovable.
l)crhaps the colour of the flag would have turned frorn Red 1o Sun-
shineI low are you river? heading torvards the sea?
ll'I could be like you-'l'lrcn I would have madeAll the dirts of ages floatArrtl speak outI rrorrld live like thisI trr rurlly!!!

I'ill today flows the arotna of protniscuotts lovcI irrrbrace brings trust*wann, intcnscArnity blooms-touches one softlyKnorvn sighs peep outIs there any harm to think thus?
Would you accept my pain-laden loved kisses?
As sun-baked fragrant flora-ln a kiss f,rnd the touch of a young maiden-The flavour of long lost moments
Oh! Blend, blend in my senses-Lovelorn fingers do tremble alongThe wide open river-heart inundates
So I comc back to you againAt times you are a child*friendThrobbing heart in bones and vcins.A kiss is not sexuality*thc strcam carricsRelentless waves of pity and affcction.Is there any harm to think thus'/'Ihe world is weary with passionlcss kisses
With rules rites-black whitc-fhousand implications. World is confused todayThe river sings through warm kisses'Go back to them dear globe'*My friend! Return-for there you may
Find my soul musicflirds fare the best in kiss--even todayln caste creed or some rveb is blocked thcl lcart in chains-nations circumscribed-ls there any harm to think thus?

Longing Only for You
Mankind is crying proftiselY lodaY
Getting beaten up and some are wakirrg rrp rvhilc gctting bcatcn
Go beside people, MixThe fire of heart with your river.
For how long will you all chase us demons'/
Who knows, how many carts are cracking daily'/And uttering the truth with those cracking chests!
Besides digging holes in engineering, talents, poetry and soil.
S,owly the outer skin covering is changing from withinToday the hurnid soil smells wet from the tears of men.
What's the hann in taking life's risk?
Go near people ; mix the fire of heart with your riverMan is in tears today-May be longing for you till thc last.
