| PADMA BABU |
I renounce my sight today
In the eyes of the blind girl
Singing the tunes of love,
In the railway station.
Don’t you smile to me dear,
Come and see this world..
I empty my pockets
In the bowl of the old beggar,
Rooted to the corner stone
Near the bus stop..
Don’t be dazed, comrade
Go and taste some
Pepperoni topped pizzas..
Love birds, stuck in
The absurdity of an imminent break-up,
I blow your caustic bickerings away.
Don’t shy away now..
Lock yourselves in
Your biting kisses.
The elderly couple,
Take my hands..
Let’s go to the beach
Of your dreams, and
Breathe in some fresh air..
The street-musician
With amputed hands,
I leave my fingers on your tabs,
Yes, your broken symphonies
Are still there..!
Play…
Play again..
Louder.., let me listen to
The melody in your laughter
Once again and
Slowly fall to death..
Yes, I am still here..
Right next to you..!
