'THE WHITE ENVELOPE '


In the noise of
many attractive ring tone
I still wait for the devaduta
in sealed white envelope
to me who brings heaven .

The 'trio' of tense
past,future and present
all merge into blue incarnation
letters form the images
I feel enriched with visualization
for me the clock stops
its really seems meditation .

What to say...for your phone call
your assurance makes formal all
'Don't worry mamma'
gives me more worry
'Be cool' takes me to
above the temp. 98.6 degree .

Its the WHITE ENVELOPE
gives me satisfying experience
as silent letters utter a lot
i can understand with stance
longing for home;the sense of distance
that......every moment you experience
i pray to God
He blesses me with power of words
to send to you ...to learn life chords
each word blesses you
that is the return gift
for WHITE ENVELOPE sent by you .

Books - 'FORBIDDEN '

Books - 'FORBIDDEN '

People say...
dwelling on memory
is a matter of stupidity
advertisements say....
attitude of living in past is profitable
to sell a commodity ....
more nostalgic customers ;
more crazy purchasers .

but my sense is quite different here
hidden from your eyes
sitting in the house's extreme corner
from your wooden drawer
often I had read many books 'FORBIDDEN'
child magazines...Champak..Nandan
did appeal me
but those books 'forbidden'
couldn't resist me
although they are damaged by
cruel white termite
yet some of them
chuckle ,smile,laugh,cry
with many characters in real life .
I know @ the age of teen
my action was really mean
but I had been helped by that only
proving a real healer in my loneliness
opening the door for enjoyment
that has shown real friendliness
being honest...I would tell you
@ the age of forty four
I am still the fraud
I like thoughtful people's presence
I love their ideas
appreciate their very existence
as each one of them
reminds me of you

being part of the star
you've gone very far
but my dear father
i know.....
you had secretly approved of
that one hidden scar .
