Mask

the demon sits there
spewing fire
scowling at me daylong

Turmeric


the fragrant root
stains my hand
with colours of sun
and earth

coquette


long legged lass flirts,
flaunts her curves voluptuously

Blue


 cheerful elephant in blue ensemble 
butterfly sombre, wooden

Salivate

tomato pulp in tamarind juice -
acerbic sting on my tongue
before I open the jar 

Overflow

shards of rainbow in glass bangles
bunched in a basket -
colours flow into the dark room

Glow

 
basket woven with dry grass
holds sunshine

Amulet

the rippleless lake
the eye of blue glass
gaze on happiness

Old Book

yellowed pages crumble
like splinters of  glass in my fingers

Permanence

pale flowers do not fade,
yellowed leaves do not fall off
 the ceramic bowl
