darkness deepens
lips are eager
to look for the lips
last night for gossip
kid gave up his sleep
with stars
squirrel !
don't touch that mango
it is ripen
in the nature
soul dissolves
people divide
even the rivers
to get water

sorrowful
the sunflower
sun lowers
sorrowful
the sunflower
day's last hour
dear parrot !
hit beak on that mango
I need it
took away
my night's sleep
child's weep
gets flared
kissed by blowing air
the wood fire
people say the lion

sightseeing destination
my tea garden
misty night
moon and stars
hospitalised
more dense
under the wrinkles
shadow of love
run faster
squirrel!
pick your fallen fruit
let me shoot
