NEHA BHANDARKAR

 

NEHA BHANDARKAR


Preparation

 

The patches on her petticoat,

were then being unstitched

the holes appeared on the patches

were making her body bare and her individuality contained

 

Her body emerged stripped alike the shed branches

dejected, like the phrase 'Parvati detained in Lanka' ;

Very poor!

 

Her torn beauty

was being ogled as the heron does keeping its one eye closed,

was being recorded in the mind-camera,

 

The lust-ridden vultures,

were hovering round her bewitching body popping out of the patches

 

It was as if

the preparation to welcome the unblotted 'Munny' in the disdainful town...

 

 

 

Name

 

You, just mine,

and I'm yours,

I'm yours,

and you,  just mine.......

 

But this is just a perception,

yours, mine, mutual

But truth

just unaware....

 

Perhaps you,

all yours

and I'm all mine

just being 'self',

entangled in selfness we are.....

 

You possess your 'self' enigma,

have I too with me?......

 

Our bond bound with an anonymous inclination,

clenched with heartstrings

but virtually enigmatic...

 

From just both of us...

 

Today, wish to question just for this secrecy...

what name have you given to such relationship?

 

 

Edges


One edge was looking for the another one

 

One point of the edge was 'she',

 

While another point was 'he',

 

Then how will meet

two parallel edges with each other?
