Love by Prof. Dr. Ram Krishna Singh

Love by Prof. Dr. Ram Krishna Singh










I gave you my love.

What more do you seek

to lighten the night,

my beloved?

Let the fire burn

and consume the moth.

VASTU VIHAR

sweltering heat
frequent power failure:
neighbours shouting


westerly wind
strikes the windowpane with rain--
flood in bedroom


under the bed
spiders' network--
sabbatical


air too heavy
with fine coal dust from chimneys--
the park too chokes


undecided
to walk or not to walk--
evening black with dust


the aged earth mocks
the concaving patch
of the sky


a dead tree
stands tall on N H 2--
senescence


fully filled
the trashcan in kitchen:
stuck in lack


a short drizzle
stony scent of petrichor--
Vastu Vihar

--R.K. SINGH
