Green tea....

Curly steam dancing from the hot Tangkhul pot
Moving up without hasitation

it dances and swings along with the air
not knowing its nearing to end

Alas! it went off
but left its earthy fragrance...

thn the old man pour it in an old tumbler
he sips one after another

and watches his memory playing
vivid before his wrinkle eyes..

leave letter..

leave letter..



I wrote a note and left it on her desk,
A simple plea for leave for a day.
She read it once, then turned in quiet rest,
And nodded soft, yet nothing more to say.

I thought her silence meant a firm denial,
That my request had faded into air.
I left with doubt that lingered all the while,
Believing she had neither time nor care.

But fate revealed the truth beneath my seat,
A folded note she quietly had placed,
She said my leave had reached the boss’s sheet,
Along with hers, in duty’s careful grace.

She smiled and came with chocolate in hand—
“We sail the same boat,” I now understand.

flirting mood

Flirting with the Wind

She lifts her hand, the wind begins to play,
And dances soft around her slender grace;
Her flute releases notes that drift away,
And tint the evening air with warm embrace.

She sips the sunset with her closed-eyed dream,
As time itself grows still within her gaze;
Then suddenly her enaphi breaks the stream,
And wakes her heart from all its silent haze.

She turns—expecting him within the air,
Her memory racing faster than the light;
But finds a simple stone lying there,
A truth that gently falls into the night.

She smiles, as if the wound were kissed by art,
Then drifts again, the wind her dancing heart.

Mama Earth

The unguided missiles.. within you and me..


Yes I heard the truth..
unveiled with a coy,
the mucky stinking water still dropping from the soul..
its within you and me..

its born every moment..
don't blame anyone..
don't blame your mind..
you have the weapon inside you..

rise up and fight for it...
stopping mankind from hideous untruth..
Let it live.. let it breathe.. let it grow..
Oh mama earth why are you so ... 

Loktak Lake



Ravana..

Ravan..

A man of joy and profound ten heads..
searching for more heads to destroy..
He hunts for talents,
Can't stand anyone greater than him.

At time he doubts his own ability
to work and fulfill his dreams,
a dream, with a golden ladder
for him to climb..

A man with various vidyas,
creative mind, yet jealousy took his side,
wanting to make her and others in his line.
Why did he crave for more?
Why did he provoke others?

When I interviewed him , this were his words
"never feel jealous.. never want more"
This two things would lead you no where but would lead to somewhere where we never belong....

The Invisible...Maiden

.."Is there any question which you would like to ask me???
Ask me before I leave.....
or else it will be too late..."The girl asked her lover before she leaves for the early morn train..

She bothers him,
hurts him for what he has done;
Life just begins for a new change; these were her words..BUT
I wouldn't let you go;

I wish this could be true.. for both of US
I'll abandon everything.. for you, for that very smile;
which I have been waiting for a long time,
" Now Just trust me", the guy said..
and kiss her forehead...." I'll never leave you ever again"....
