1.With black and white marks
and nest of ants on its skin
the tree grows taller
shining through the geometry
of sun moon and halogen
2.Between virgin curves
he deep breathes evening mist
rests in the hollow
of the mountain listening
to the rhythm of quiet stream
3. Over the dried moss
rains have grown new layers
making the path more
slippery for all of us
faling is postscript now
4.Bored with politics
and news of falling sensex
he folds the paper
and flips through the old PLAYBOYs
to see the nudes seen in youth
5. The lips in her eyes
and long hours in the mouth--
no moist secret
between us to reveal:
now our backs to each other
6. All her predictions
would come true had I paid her
the fees for writing
psychic reflections on dreams
I failed to realise
7. Swirling spiral
of her skirt spills tides of dream
and memory:
I breathe fire in the dance
forgetting bends and twists
8. Wrinkles on the skin
remind me of time's passage
year by year travelled
on distances renewing
spirit and waving goodbye
those are all really good. my favorite one is number 5. i love your poems
