Poem OEDIPUS COMPLEX

Freud laughs from nowhere
I got trembled in my mother’s lap
Threw up, and I screamed:
“You bastard, what’s your business here?”
A giant Freudian shape
Stepped down to the darkness of the courtyard
Again on the stoop of my house
Mom went on running her fingers through my hair
Soon a war-horse stormed in to the battle field
Crushing the light hairs over my chest
I got a glimpse of the king Oedipus on it
Raising the sparking sword in his hand
That night before going to the bed
I burnt all the Freudian ghosts in the shelves
Yet while wooing the goddess of sleep
Freud again laughed from nowhere
Laughing louder like a heavy thunderbolt
Electrifying my body from the toe to the skull
Many times it stumbled my sleep
Each time I was startled
That the blanket smelled of my father’s blood

Poem GENEROSITY

I’ve never banged at;
Not even knocked!
Just loafed around;
And sometimes tried to peep in!
Yet she opened it for me;
The doors of her heart!
Where there was no room for me!!

Poem MOTHER INDIA

Come on my dear sons
Communalism has kicked me roughly to the ground
Politics has ripped of all my clothes
Poverty has held my left feet and arm
Corruption has held my right feet and arm
Now my dear sons
It is your turn
Come on rape me one by one!!!!!!!!!!

PAINFUL JOY OF LOVE

In the draughts of my heart
where even the poetry got dried
I would long you, coming to me as a cooling drizzle

In the twilights of my soul
where even the passion got frozen
I would wish you, coming to me as a warming breeze

Yet, as a hot wind
When you rushed into my boiling desert
And as a heavy rain
When you fell into my boisterous ocean

Dear, I should say
I could feel the painful joy of love
And the joyful pain that's you
