Rage

Generous tears came into her eyes

When she came to know

That he’s leaving.

Not seeing him again

Filled her heart with furore;

And like a blast furnace

Her cry came out

Along with aggression and frustration.

This is not the first time.

Earlier too she had married, and

Her husband had gone for war.

On return he was crippled for two years,

And then he left forever.

Another soldier pitied her condition,

And gave his name to her kid.

Now he is leaving too.

Since wars are raging all around-

Inside her and outside her world;

And there is no escape,

Only a wait-who will leave first

And who last.

Maze of w ~ o ~ r ~ d ~ s

I wandered through the maze of words;

And each acquaintance

Filled my heart

W wo ure; k

Till I realized finally that

I had undertaken some

Dandy task,

Rather mind-boggling,

Of remembering cumbersome

World of words.

So I inversed the process:

From remembering to forgetting

And the maze of

worddrow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ned

To my amazement;

And clarity gained.
