Poetry of k.s.narasimha swamy part-1
1)
Back line students :
Back line students means
No fear to us!
No disturbance to
school from us
No success to us for
ever!
Rock won’t moov to force of water;
We are like that to class!
Is exam ball of flowers?
Should not worry for ill fate
Year by year where we exist
Become new students;
Without opening pages
without reading
Mature due to
sunlight and air!
Sitting with us brothers and sisters
Won’t pain(disturb)
their reading and writing
Without becoming like us
to this school
Let them rise flag we tell.
To less salaried teachers
We stand supportive to them
If lessons are not tasteful
We will eat pakampoppu.
In classroom we are
backward
We are backward here!
Let them come and see in plauground
We are anjayas there!
Pampa kumara vyasa
dasas
We
are caste of hari hara sharanas!
Not passing in kannada only
We
are army of scholars sons!
All who have won are ours;
No anxiety of win to
us
To those who have failed are we not model?
To fall into pond is not proper
To path of luck who
have won
We become fixed lamps;
Many not losing for
win of few
No value we believe.
If
whole town stands on hase(sacred bench)
Where are people to do arathi?
If all are singing mouths
Where are people to clap?
In jail of luck of
world school
We have found infinet
joy
This is truth ,in
support of this
We go beyond success and failure
Without reading understood love;
We earned pride without studying;
We will never leave this scool;
We will remain peaceful!

You are not a lass like this or that!
By k. s. narasimhaswamy
You are not lass like this or that;
no other lass
like you.
1)series of hoods whole knot
Gudininda (………………………..) flower above
Twist of waves waves all hairs
Whirl lightning all eye rolls!
2)All tones of neck garland of beads
Inside desire of hombale(golden bamana)
No pressure ,all love!
Not lasses many like you
3)flower creeper stood at chest level;
How much flower in tat?
Breath breath buds flowers all;
You are creeper light all life!
4)in middle of hills your place
There are three undred peacocks
As though three humdred peacocks coming
If you come to me ;rich
5)in mid way my place;
Place of angle of eye lightning
honnur;
As though three hundreds lightnings
flashing
If you come to me ,rich
6) you becoming distant distant
Golden dream in middle tone swinging
As I am waiting for you
You beauty cone as river
7)you are not such beauty.
Not you? No other beauty!not song,
you are not dream;
from
you song is all dream

3)From house to house: by poet k .s. narasimhaswamy
1)
If Year
completes from out house to out house
Transfer.transfer means
Tying of luggages, still more
tiredness
Screwless lamps bottomless gudes(…………………..)
(jaradi)……………….,cradle,onake procession of
all these!
Luggage is simply burden,won’t it be thrown
tell
Is it over if it is thrown ?first bring new
one
No space in cart,’have to carry and moov’
Carry and moov?but dark is needed!
Shall wait for dark!
Mother Of
seven children
,friendly,laughed)
As laugh kills enemity can’t kill;get up
First we shall go to new house’ coming in
evening
Let the work of carrying(moving) be to me
Tearing
Red
feathered fish was disturbed,
female won
It can
be laughed often once in life
like this
2)
One
reason to leave one one house
This time experience;house owner is good;
His wife ,daughter might be good!
They did not ask us to leave the house
What they did is some other work!
At
least tone of daughter who has not red
adjusting
With the desire of getting married
Appointed music teaching!
Those eight months were rainy season,frogs
First and last-that girl learnt only one
line
“pouring pond water to pond”
All what is done here is this much only!
Pouring pond water to pond
In morning,after noon,in evening
Without space to more water in house
If we come and stand in middle street
Telling that you are people who have poured
water
Charged full tax o my head!
Water pumping pump had told truth;
Door of other house had opened for us.
3)
One house for those who have,for those who do not have
hundred
Don’t know how many children they had who were here previously!
Every where they have digged floa;
Taps have broken;
Have written ‘zeros’ on all doors
Tomorrow what about these children!
Where is newness here?we have come to house
In which somebody were there.are we new? No
On grey wall
dust screen (layer)fallen
Waiting drama’s name is ‘new’
Today only we have come to this house
No hurry for repair
of glass broken phptos;
For repair
(kalaya………………..)of vessels
Further one week can be pushed
New mat cleaning leg – may be brought tomorrow ?
“what to do now?”asking again tou are!
All entered houses we shall call new house;
We shall tie new torana (leaf garland) old door;
Like school children learning newness
Let us spend one more year!
4)to each house one
one year queue
Not that much new tomorrow reading news
In opening coil of memory
path of silver thread;
Bent back has moved away valueless materials;
Bypouring pond water
to pond eyes have whitened;
child witten zero;the speech
and laugh which house owner laughed ;
not one or two
punya(good deed) on our part!
No place in cart,carry and moov;
For that dark is needed.
we shall wait for
dark!
5)from house to house,from outhouse to outhouse
From first house
respectless,nameless, to other house
That is new village all have gone for piligrimage.
There no obstructers;
No in callers(welcomers)
No other house;
No shadow of out
house;
For those who ave gone
no ways to return;
That is last house!
under crossed eye of sky stars
now and then blows open field air.
……………………………………………………….end……………………………………….
3)housewifeLgruhalakshmi)
My wife rules my chest’s gold region
White cheeked beauty my wufe;
Beauty of eye is deeper than whirl of river
If she once spreads
her knot
Spreading her black
hairs on back
At distance on hill
As though droped down
night garland.
Mother house when called-my house when remembered
She is lovely creeper of two villages.
Witout concealing anything like pure jasmine
Her life is blossoming
Not desiring gold ornaments in in mind
Gold like girl
My ornament ,my girl.
Wearing green saree ,wearing red bangles
Calls me in
full tone my beauty;
Kumkum long
sign Rules forehead
She is lakshmi to my
house,
To us this is this is
sandy of life colours
No hundred worries to us;
We are gandharvas.
Full moon coming on
coconut leaves(garies)
On that day when milking of
silver cows
standing near brindavana in middle of
will sing seing richness,
we play stars,go beyond moon
we are one in love;
we have no pain,death.
…………………………end……………………………………
4)answer to question:
At one night I asked my wife
Which is fine to you
Our place honnuru or your place naviluru
Which is fine to you
Why to ask
wheather our place or
Your place to me?
In cot of our place
your place dream
Shall I describe and tell?
Why do ask wheather your place or
My place fine?-my lord
Keep quiet she told|pa|
In path of mother house coconuts nodding ead
Bananas waeving arms;
Buds of jasmine marrying thorn fence
Wabling emiting
fragrance;
With laugh our place
females coming
To your sandyday,
Than naviluru honnuru is happy
St0pped love by calling. |Pa|
In your place cart when we left our place
Road ran quickly;
Shout (keke)of little kid had filled cradle-
When we reached your
place
Coming near town fence
after seing us
And asked about health(kushala,welfare),
Something standing in lip, something coming in eye
Cheek became red |pa|

5) is(are) not you? (neevallave)
Ten years back in
mutthur car festival
Is it not you who
wandered around?
Thinking as nearer female
again in matthuru
Is it not you who agreed and held hand?
On back of hills in
narrow (figure breadth) paths
Are you not the one who tied and wandered?
In front in ups(tittu) ,behind in valleys
Areyou not the one who laughed and walked?
You are the one who came to door,one who told to come quick
are you
not the one who asked why did you
come?
Come and see ,no go
Are you not the one who never left?
Pulling border(saree),paining by pulling hair
Are you not clever of bayaluseeme(……………………)
First night gold dream getting beyond fore water
Are you not the ship of
light show off?
Who teased as servant,calling as pearl
Are you not the one who
is of height house?
You are enough you are wanted
Are you not the one who stood in mind?
Bangles not rising to hand,when I told pain
Are you noy the one to get down from upstairs?
who shouted at bangle man settee
are you noy the one who brought stick?
You are gold river,I am pearl rain
are you not the one
danced and sung?
Female of malnad,fruit given by love
are you not the one
who wrote some ting?
You are daughter of moon,you are moon faced,
Are you not the one who kept new name?
One who kept garland of jasmine in knot
Are you not the one
brought lip to lip?
Poverty,richness,who ever may be ,wherever may be
Are you not the one who shined as kink?
Acceptable to husband, as direction to kid
Am I not along with you in journey?

6)Opened doorLtereda
bagilu)
It is evening ,you also came
Did you get the bus on sandy day?
You hhave come late in the dark
On what day is your
child’s naming ceremony
How is she(wife)? When will she come?
I know she will definitely come
But on what day? By this time you might l have beaten paddy
Might have got one
cart of rice
(there is difficulty in
getting ox?)
There may be draught for
ox reason is this
This time is also
father’s ceremony is on Saturday
If you can’t get rice you can get banana
It is good that you have come now
It is good .are all safe in
village side(town side)
The rain has stopped,cold as appeared (born)
Come in see if there
is any coffee in flask
So many shirts are these enough? On that also shawl?
Are you fort or bear ,gentleman?
Keep in corner
folding your star –umbrella;
No fear of anybody to
your chappal(footwear)
,this old
chair,this mat both are dirty?-
what exists here is
dirt what comes is also dirt.!
My words are not at all falling to your ear;-
Is it fault to have my door at road border
Is it a mistake
to have door opened?
I am open door .all season port.oper
Yes,gentleman you have come now is proper;
If at all nothing happens
we became two.
Hotel meal is after half an hour;
Now till that I will
story-
What story?- from
this morning till morning
What I found in open door
What I diid
Will tell listen.
Ayyo ,what a word!
Is mind (atti)………..) fruitto open and show?
who asked you to open atma(self) and show?-
for that we will have to wait till death.
To open shirt is in our hand
Lose your burden,leave membrane(layer)
Then it was morning .i had not yet awoken fully,
paper boy hhad come,had brought a news for me
in third page accident had happened;
a person of my street
of my same name
had cdied being caught by lorry!
( don’t comment news
is gomplete prose,
Even in prose people may die)
His existence was not
at all known to some extent
Death was known to
all.
On me sky fell down I
also know I am not the dead;
still peeping in mirror,
throwing (hittihg)leg
,bent body,got up,walked,
I fixed one more nail
on hosilu(lower border of door)
Pity! I held my fist and saw to remove defect which some one
brought to my name by
some ones death
wearing dhothi ran to
bath room;
it was time for stoppage of water in tap.
In water available
did ganga bath
And enlighted ghee lamp
for dead one;
did namaskarams to
god by keeping stolen flower.
A lizard on the wall
stared at me;
I did not wait for it’s shakuna(prediction of good or bad)
Rushed to neighbour
house thinking wheather died or spoiled;
‘give to editor’ I asked in telephone.
That lady had stammering; ‘please talk’ she told
‘namaskara god,not one but two-
One surely to you
,another to the world
Which you have shown
to my name!
No mistake from my
side here,though it is true
News is doubtful sir,
Sun moon –(now moon’s witness is not needed)-
Only sun only as witness
I am living. Please will you correct?’
‘Is it? Excuse,let us correct tomorrow only;
Shall inform to all that you are living’
What a detachment!what a consolation!rama rama!
Knife went ,kid,sword came.
Wearing black saree
wearing flowers of tears
There was memory of condolence letters;
Ad lot of fear
Directly ran to post office;saw inside
Saw the hits fallen to card and covers,
One came outside
crimeless.
I stopped im;informing matter
‘till tomorrow what ever
ma come
What ever comes let it be fallen here only;
Later will come and carry,if it is possible
to help so much
,myself my wife
my children are
also grateful(duefull) to you.’ I said.
What happened to him!
‘your head is not proper’he said and ran
Nodding ead to mid street
While coming on the way thorn pricked
Blood poured;her memory came.
She had gone to village exactly one month back ;
Paddy did not come ,she also.fate of wife having
mother ouse is like this only;
let her come on whatever day she comes I thougt.but-
understand now next matter
on this situation.understand? or that only
I earlier to all in
first bus only
At the time of crow crying at once
made subba to ran.i tink they may come at proper time;
I have done my best;
I am waiting in front of opened door
‘seventh is divine thought’.
He did not meet you in village,
Without knowing fact you came here only,
To me both are good; whatever
Happens is for our good.-
Where did it come now?
It was burning sunlight when we came house in afternoon
Head though spoiled
I had head;head ache,
Stomachful of
hunger.then from neigher house ghama ghhama
Fragrance of
masala(vaggarane) of asafetida (ingu); kindness of air
To hotel rice time
had passed
Who came know?
like three fires like
three tenses(times,periods)
as though good
work(sukrutha) of three generations
embodied(myvetthanthe)
three hungry people
wearing madi(holy cloth)
open door,see,came in directly.
To house maid(servant) today is weekly holiday;right,
Here there was no rangoli in front of door
By wrong imagination he would have come!
Or now
Town streets have
been done fine,
on both sides of road
plants have been planed,
in circle and squares
flowers ave been grown
to old batrooms
dentures have been built;
have done unable to get recognized.
Pulling skin of floar burying water tubes
hAve gone having tied red cloth
to miss street is easy for anybody here!-
might have come to wrong street ,to wrong house!
These are my worries; insult to those who have come:
‘To where we have come?where next?’
Playing (vibrating) mat
saw clock;
hunger to deer also; hunger to tiger alsosaw
towards opened door;I prevented(obstructed,tolerated).
After waste of time
in enquiring wellness(health ,kushala)
on both sides
What was in well came up,
number of that house is also
leven like this:
street only is
different,back line(lane),gentleman!
Window of that
house made to see from here
Touching ear told pravara,prostated(addabidde)
Blessed by amruta
manthras to become (shathayu)
long lived
See,like three fires like three times(periods,tenses)
Got abhyagathas(
un invited guests)
Though fifty lost fifty had remained;
For my situation(circumstance) that much was enough
Sea became peaceful;sky became peaceful;
the earth which I stood became peaceful.
opened door people saw moving;
manthrakshathe(coloured rice) on floar everywhere.

8)Don’t keep me on your throne
don’t keep me on your throne;
don’t make to wear
moon crown
,burden to neck to me
garland of stars
I don’t want
kingship.
Don’t tease me as
‘child, child ,child’
Don’t break my strength.
Today if kingship is
boring to you
Don’t entrust that to
me.
Don’t keep me on your throne
Let it appear your
power(pourusha) flame
In pamper don’t feed
me cowardness
Let your love become diamond.
After how long time
so much of self pride(abhimana)
Can’t understand your way(kind)
Kid unwanted on tat day is today that itself is joy
Is Selfishness iyour ethics?
Moter told :os some day you touched
Her fascinating
shoulder
Then I was born in midst of
wonder
Kissing earth –flag
In desert tying cradle to me

protected emiting amrutha
rain river sea singing my song
all life crop is
beautiful wave of earth
mother holdind me on hills and ills

made kusumari in sky
in lions groups(shibira),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) of mountain
and forests
made me to grow agni
kuvari(fire’s daughter
on that day you might ave seen me,smiling
blowing hand I called you
to you pride of rajadhiraja(king of kings)!
Walked without touching
my body
Mother told’child call him
By crawling go further
Listening to that you moving as though not listening
She pained very much’what people these are’
Stars sang as ‘mother is god’
They don’t know that she is
maya only
You might have seen her kind of love
That vasundara’s (earth’s)son I asked
I grew up without seing you; I am shriveled
Mother’s love and beauty
My son grows up
gaining strength of father
She has believed so.
Make me to learn to live witout your subordination
Bless as let life get pain and mature
(ninna kuriyada nanna darigedaranu nilisu)

Open path and make to grow as I walk
You become father
troubling son,enemy
Make my breath to become fruit
On your rock make to
drop my blood
Let your name be seen!
Coming door is
soil:leaving door is soil
In between protects mother’s eye
This eye’s vision all stone fort is gold;
To leave my and is fine to you
‘Senileless(old age less) deathless when your kingship
Will end’ I have not
waited
Grown up son carry
noga(burden……….) I will ask
You have come with illusion!

9)in which time who laughed
In which time who laughed
As though you laughed?

Laughing for a while!
Even if unwanted why

I don’t know
In life path how did

With pain and joy?
How laugh spread

Near lip leaf?
Memory of pain why it
came and troubled
With our joy!
In shining pain in
tears
Shall I laugh with you?

You came to make wear!
Who came near, who moved distant
You are laughing?

Tilaka (sticker) sjhining in your forehead
In flower garden spreading long sigh
You came this side on green grass (blade)
Wile coming brought one or two flowers

Around you small dizling

You are the one knowing depth of your love!
In front of your beauty I became wondered

Eye of little child

Give to memory infinet chances;
Full dark in bed
Throw worn flower beyond

Why your mind is

Coming from sea (bank)shore to head of hills
I will ask you only one question;
Where were you born? One who
Have come along with me where
were you born?what is
your answer?
“in old big treetied swing
Just now heard new song”
Behind black cloud from answer of lightning
No any kind of consolation.in near temple’s tower
In shining lamps few are burnlng.some are put off.
Yes,white waterfalls
in black valley.
What is seen only is vision;white flowers
In green leaf. Your answer is not understood
By me.can be waited till it is understood

Day is closing
Dark is covering;
Star at distance distance
In way of town
In car street

In green bed
Yellow flower sleeping
Found dream I am;
In eye of flower
Wandering fragrance
I am drop of oney:
In full blue
In Moving cloud
I found myself;
In pearl evening
In border of fence
I found myself;
After coming to house
Lighted lamp
Remembered you standing.
After remembering you
Singing myself
Opened window.
Fence is beyond
Flower is this side
Chariot wearing beauty
You will come ,right
When you will come
That much is secret?
You will come ,right
When are you coming
Only that much is secret?

The picture(figure) which I built by your memories
You did not become;this is my worry
Your eye lamps were like stars
Light light in and
out.
I was not knowing who you are
Joined lauging I garden,
You came near me to listen to song;
Song was started in
evening.
First drops,later lightning,in cool air
Floated and came your fragrance of love
Ow shall I ask which flower it is?
To you rich jasmine is suitable flower.

22) rhymeless poetry
I won’t write poetry
For rhymes won’t seach

Sandal is not grown for sake of fuel
Like sahyadri people. In bank of amezon river’s
Grass meadow missing
some where
Black boy’s matter I
don’t know
I am not at all poet.shadow
Standing beyond
poetry.
Female’s knot’s flowers
floating coming dream
Of fragrance,in cradle of rainbow leg beating kid
In path of tears whirling(coming) tender sun light
Coming out ,from
golden flute’s eyes,seven notes
Door opened yaksha bhavan’s outside in blossomed garden
Keeping red lips to udder’s of kamadhenu
Nandini’s leg chain (gejje)sound
At distant
mountains sacrifice smoke.

22)why kama(lust) became boy?
Original source:willium blake
Kannada translation: k.s narasimhaswamy
Re translation to English: raveendra hosodurga
Why kama (lust) became boy?
Why only boy?
Is he has to become
girl
As I understand!
By his bow he will leave
arrow;
Girl she pierces by eye;
To him and her to both joy
They laugh by seing
us crying.
Kind of kama
becoming boy
Her plan(trick) of
imitation
Till he becomes man
Boy can’t make to understand
Then hear his fate:
Hundred worries,pain,wound
He will reserve all his life
To search for sword’s(knife’s) edge.
From war loving Greeks
At last love becoming boy
Female becoming stone doll
Joy flied off

Retranslation to English:ravendra hosadurga
I loved you once;how can heart be in peace
That love still remaining there only looks as though
hesitating.
It’s worries difficulties and losses be not to you in
future;
From me no any kind of
pains. O my love!
Without hopes I loved you;I am criminal no mouth to me;
Pains of jealousy,shying despairs I came to know one by one!
At depth,one more love equal
in delicacy,fermness,
By god’s grace,by one more person wish it will be fulfilled|

Fragrance(fineness) of which land attracted you ?
Which rain bow shined?
Did bell sound from

You ave come today only! Right you have come.
To all my words is
silence answer?
Won’t you speak ;what happened?
Curley hair is
dusty;knot dis arranged
I did not ask why you came.
Balancing every word
the letter which I sent
did not tell ‘come

Your’s is tis house; if you come at any time
I will welcome you at door only.
Rain stopped ,everywhere joy has spread
Come in;laugh and leave my love.
how it is if you
stand like this in open door ?
why doubt to come in
to you?
In backyard little calf had jumped towards mother;
I will tie within a minute.
As though single answer to all my questions
You are standing like a figure(picture).
Laugh came,I came to know all at end;
You have come as per
my letter!

In border of river was wabbling golden feathers fish;
I stood seing all it’s beauty stunned’
On big tree at tip of branch

On thorn creeper

On coconut leaves (gari) bird is flying coming;-
From where did pain

Memory of first kiss; path along fence;
Smile of little children can be seen.
No body in street;only two are coming;
State is yours ,can be ruled.
Memory of first kiss;on red bud
Cool air,spreading in silence
In happy night veena has spread tone;
In room lamps are

Suddenly lamps putting off ,in full dark
Memory of first kiss

sitting for deep dark;

Stars at night

To distant distance what a rich light!
A wheel is rotating unseen to eye
In star dust in sky
At distant hill storm is blowing;
Song is heard in valley
To note of water falls at border of land
Bird is singing in fence,
At the height of high trees
rain bow
Melting slowly became evening.
Don’t ask to where is this path tese or those;
At last what is got is our house only!
In environment of coconut and banana background
Green has spread in garden see
In front of rangoli
flower children are playing;
In house lamps are

Why do you wait for black dark like this?
Come sing song of light.

32)one memory
When all were sleeping I got awoke;
Got up and went up to hosilu(door),
Found one red rose beyond
It’s thorn is also red! Pained inside
In wall –mirror found one face
Did not know whose it is
In pomegranate fruit
bitten by squirrel
Found seedless yellow
nest.
Found dream of spring in ashada;
Found little children
in middle of green;
Found blossomed bud of red lotus in pond;
Found smile ,remembered you
In star silence full
moon day without you
Sang my song of
separation fire
World which does not agree to allow me to myself
Came to my eyes like
drops;
Came to memory on that day on hase mane(sacred bench)
Memory of given hand kerchief.
Did you not ask what is love?
To me memory is as
thoughasked now.

33) the mad song
Original source:willium blake
Kannada translation:k.s.narasimha swamy
Retranslated to English: raveendra hosadurga
Storm is crying(goliduthide)
Night’s chill is drilling
Sleep come near
To open my sorrow.
There see peep of early morning
In deep eastern valleys
Blaming this earth,old leaves falling
Bed of moving flowers in gardens
See there !there
Towards tower(kalasa) of sky
My wabling sorrows
Melodius ttones are arising;
Drowning in ears of night
Making to weep day’s
efe(wiping?)
Making mad to sounding air
Playing with storm
In sorrow of sounding
in middle of cloud
Like standing demon I
am
Rushing If night is over
Going along with night
Towards east growing
all joys
Will turn back
That light getting angry spreading net of pain
Arrests my this
intellect.
……………………………………………end…………………………..
34)song heard on some day
One song heard on some day
I taught to veena
Rembering that when
you sang
I also played with you.
You sang,I played;
Path of song was
shown
To your neck , to my figure
Evening greeted good.
To melody of raga(tun) you sang
Mango tree
swinged leaf.
Singing kokila(koel) to distance distance
Peacock
waved(swinged) wing.
Song disturbed silence and spread
In slow moving rythm
Leg chain(gejje) sounds
heard and came
In greenish green
field.
Peacock of life came
and sang
In your silver tone,
Colour colour light appeared
In lip of soil lamp(hanathe)
You sang, I played;
Song melted slowly
Emited fragrance to
cool air
Your knot’s jasmine
………………………………….end…………………………………..
35)thirty years had passed
like this
You came to my house
That first day’s sweet memory which
I met you came to me.
Moving past to thirty year back
Came letter to me;
In golden light of evening rain
I came to your house.
Found enthusiasm;found smile
In group of friends
In flower creeper found one bud
In dense of green leaves.
Full of cup bringing hot milk
As you kept in front of me,
I sat seing it’s
stream;
Where were I am then?
‘please take’ your father told
Seing towards me
‘sing that song’ your mother told
Making to wear
flowers to your jade(tuft of hair)
In reason of tightening nose star(muguthi)
Looking towards me
From your likely song
Singing one or two lines,
As you won ‘do you
agree’
Had asked your mother house
‘wait will write’ I told;small sweat on face.
To day when thirty years have passed
In that path of life
that day’s memory came as
song
in love which you gave.
…………………………….end………………………………..
36)Is this love?
Is this love:dream melted in magi(winter)
Disappearing path in big forest
Failing in putting ladder to rain bow
Emotional life wandering in moon light?
Is this love:
Without disturbing bee of flower chest
Break of body of
creepers of green leaves
Kiss of blue evening to
lip of red day
Vision is cool though
body is fire?
Is this love:flame rising to
edge(border) of stars
Coconut and banana under full moon
Border (saree)
sliping on open chest hills
Beauty which
whirled(came) one minute back?
Is this love:
Eye wonder of five
coloured parrot-
Speak,this silence which ship?
Without finishing
night only in embrace (arm bond)
See bythrowing flower towards .
………………………………………end…………………………………………
37)is this not December?
Is this not December now?
In milky moon light spilled at night
Moving under stars
Will it be not seen
At the tip of grown
up trees on silver leaves
In tower cross?
For Christmas night still more chill (cold) is needed;
In street and lanes christmas trees arising
Swinging light like
pearls and ratnas
Behind window glass
smile should blossom;
Joy of dance and song
should spill and flow;
Should be Welcomed in
soft words.
Neck of prayer should rise
should rise to sky;
Bells at height should
sound continuously;
Peace should rest(settle);
Through out green of
field flowers should play;
Should be remembered
love itself is god;
In middle of tears
shoud join hands.

38)desire
I want to become flower
nodding head to bird’s song
I want to become sound of tone of cow’s neck chain
Desire of becoming
sky above spread rain bow
Desire of becoming lightning(twinkling) of gold
coloured deer’s eye
Desiring of becoming
floating in breath of garden’s
fragrance
Desire of becoming fish
wabling in water of blue see
Desire of moving
forward without fearing to severe
rain emiting thumberbolt
Desire of keeping lamp
to night twist of tomorrow’s life;
Desire to holding
mirror to gift of soil,to
pain,joy;
Desire of joining
tone to kindness and love of human
heart.

Blue sky does not know differentiation ;
Birth of all from one soil;
Journey of all in only one direction;
Let failure success

Let poetry wish good to all!
Walking breaking cross walls
Mixing in welfare
of poor and ric
All brothers working together,
let all taste (enjoy)
earnings
let potry wish good for all!
Let everybody get shadow to stand
To all children good milk;
Let golden sun light fall on everybody
Let everybody get peace
Let poetry wish good to all!
No limit to kindness of earth,
Everybody’s labour
has fruit
Tomorrow’s door is divine garden,
Let love and peace succeed
Let poetry wish good to all!

39) poetry birthing time:
Behind bamboo wall which can’t be opened
Is asking is poetry
born?
What I told in border of lip is this:
Is it loss if you wait for one more day?
Selection of experience had finished
Suitable words not
available,stood waiting
Going beyond
noise(abbara) solid lines
Found dream of
natural moovments.
When deep experience
is held by hand of speec
When heat becomes light one poem.
I have come to field and waiting;
Proper news is about to come.
In such shop only this much value to words
I did not know earlier.
One one speech has one one history;
I did not go up to
root.
To wait is not at all difficult
Stars are waiting
like this from beginning
At the time of birth of poetry
There are
hundreds to be done by me only.-
Without knowing my difficulties paridhavi(name of the year)
Is running towards
it’s shishira.
To bodyless feel making to wear desired form
Is it possible to
send within tomorrow?

Who did not return even after morning however much.

Song of full blood be heard!
Red of earth’s body,water’s body stitch of snake
