When the winds blow in the mountains, they create a music with the river and leaves of deodar, oaks and pines. A man never thinks of poetry, but observes it, feels it. The words do not exist then, only music. The soul of the mountains one cannot capture in pages. I have only tried to write about the music, and a little more from elsewhere. Mountains send the winds to other places too.

A mute love story
for existence..
home.
Jingles of deodars
you gave..
silent.
Unwinding in your love
I found freedom..
sacred.
You are the mountain
I trespassed..
wind.

Jumping and Philosophy
While bungee jumping
when a face rushed through
it occured to me
I've not forgotten you.
Damn the hope
hanging to the rope
I realized
the horrors of this scope.
While bungee jumping
if I think of you
its not right I guess
to expect the same from you.

violin
ringing deep and dark
there are also nightingales,
if you ever loved a sweet voice.

Unsettled Music
a song forgotten
I sway hypnotized
to uninhibited memories
a face reappears
against the scars
and the night chords haunting.
Walnuts
There is a place you said
in the cloudstouching the hills
where we grew walnuts
in my childhood.
Not much I remember,
except the pine trees.
I know father,
you want to return after retirement.
The trees would be there
even now,will they recognize us?
I will come along too father
we will grow walnuts
in the old trees.
Either Mistakes
was a piece of word
not completely consumed.
Why do you try to find meaning
in a word half spoken?
I cannot complete it.
Peace of Mind
zara-se bikhare
now, I see a picture
and your hair straightened.
I am not irritated,
a bit upset at my memories.
This is not the best thing I've to say
and so, with insanity I believe
you deserve another poetry.
Premises of Divorce
Tired, frustrated, violent, silent
what you wanted to run away from,
I have been the long day at your work.

Far from you
dark and silent
hiding in the closet
far from you
and close.
Stumble upon me
searching solace
come inside the closet
far from you
to me.
