DEATH I knew death But I did not experience it enough Probably I had grown a little fearless. The shutting of breath and the coldness of its feel. The fading away into oblivion and the eternal darkness. The performance in a cosmic cycle If the soul can speak, convey all its unfinished business I would…
The dream of Quli, Jewel by the Moosi What words I have to sing your praise I’m not witness to your glory and pride. I’m awed by your marvelous tales of Quli, Ibrahim and Tanishah. I have watched the sunset over the Dil Aghni In the orange yellow sadness of the evening I can listen…
మనసులోని మాట మనసులో దాచుకున్నాను ఒక మాట చిన్నతనంలో ఆడుకున్న ఒక ఆట ఆ గాలి ఆ మట్టి లేవని అలసి అయినా అయినా సాగాలి మనిషి కష్టం కపటం తెలియని స్నేహం అమ్మ ఇల్లు అన్నదే లోకం ఇల్లు వదలి ఊరు వదలి కదిలి కదిలి మదిలో మెదిలే నదినీ వదిలి నావను వదిలి వెళ్ళే మనిషి నీకెంత కష్టం చెట్టు చేమా అన్నీ ఉన్నా చెట్టు నీడ క్రిందకే వస్తే టౌను సిటీ కాలనీలన్నీ…
The Sun was up before any of us I had a notion of The sun shining on the yellow mounds of rice I also had a notion of a slanting ray Of light in the coconut grove A phosphorescent glow Or may be a perfect profile Only I could not see The bounty of nature…

నీటిలోని గలగలలు నా మనస్సు తట్టి లేపాయి. స్వరాలేవో విప్పి తేనేపాట పాడాయి. తొలి సంధ్య విరిజల్లు ప్రశాంత ఉషస్సులో ఏటిలోని పాటలే నా మాటలై రాలాయి. కదులుతున్న అలలే కావ్యాలై నిలిచాయి. ఉషోదయ కాంతిలో ఆవలి ఒడ్డుకి నౌకలో నదిపైన నావలు ఏరుదాటే ఒరవడిలో పడవకాని చేయూతతో తీరం దాటుతున్నాను. ఆ కాస్తదూరానికి అతనినే నమ్మాను. సుడి తిరిగే తెప్పలో స్వరమంతా విప్పాను.
