WAITING

Waiting for him
she walks in the balcony--
twilit aura


--R.K.SINGH

SELF-DEFEAT

Crushed between the heart and head
I fail to get along with
my own creation

sinister and righteous
that challenges my being
for not meeting her hopes

I did what I could
but how to produce a mate
for her peace and bliss

she raises her eyebrows
and isolates herself as if
I authored all her griefs

now stripped and alone
with hands over my chest
I stand in the street

await the coffin
to reconcile the truths
I could not conceive


--R.K.SINGH

SUNLIGHT

She sings the morning
with hands between the legs:
sunlight drenches

--R.K.SINGH

LIZARDS

Their love game
bloodstained on the wall
two lizards

--R.K.SINGH

NAKED LUNCH

After love-making
stains of dried urine:
naked lunch


--R.K.SINGH
