Endukilaa?
పొద్దు తిరుగుడు పువ్వై
కాలం పలకరిస్తూనే వుంది.
వాన చినుకైనా, గాలి తెమ్మెరైనా
ఏ అవసరమూ లేకున్నా ముద్దాడి
కౌగలించుకు పోతూనే వున్నై.
ముక్కూ మొగం తెలీని పసిపాప కూడా
చిరునవ్వుకే
వెన్నెల కుమ్మరిస్తోంది.
తోడుగానే పుట్టీ, పెరిగి ,
నేస్తమంటూ జతకట్టిన వాడో, అదో మాత్రం
అవసరమొస్తే గానీ కనిపించరు,పలకరించరు!
కరగని ఙ్ఞాపకాలు మాత్రం
గుండె నీడన
పున్నాగలై రాలుతూ
జీవిత క్షణాలు లెక్క పెడుతూనే వున్నాయి.

Easter
do not !
please keep no roses here!
you buried my hopes
even before i was dead;
hence, no roses
my un dear ones,
no roses please!
not even other flowers
with tears of dew!
let me be free -let me be myself
at least under this slab-
for me 'freedom meant a peaceful death!'
doesn't my life in death seem better
than your death in life?
huh,let me laugh at least now,
huh,let me laugh at least now,
and no flowers
for your invisible heaven's sake!
my dead soul can never grow thorns
to bear your beautiful roses
my dead soul can never grow thorns
to bear your beautiful roses
and also knows pretty well that
this world does not need my
R E S U R R E C T I O N!

To Raghu, My Friend and My Poet!!
you
lie there like
an etherized poem on this patient’s bed!
your laughter
which mocked at death several times
is still ringing in my ears
carrying your unchallenged spirit!
the large knuckled fingers with swollen nerves
and the green ink pen
which poured your loneliness
into unending poems are still in my heart
weaving out veils of tears!
'our' raskolnikov, baudelaire, breytenbach,
marquez,
vosco popa, and 'our' most loved ‘prufrock song’
are still whispering our secrets!
you are here lifeless
leaving all yours with me – your words, memories and poems!
why didn’t you tell me even last night
that you had a plan to leave even before this december?
(composed on the sudden death of Gudihalam Raghunatham on 28th December 2010)
