mighty river post it poetry

thus dark clouds surround us

2008-07-07T06:16:00.001-07:00

and rain flies on aluminium roofs

and birds freeze and fish blues

the night moon is nowhere on starlight

henderson is empty in a string of e-psychos

each and every one of them

auckland is warm with winston's hatred

zb and live want to pick on us.

one flew into a tweety's heart

2008-07-07T06:13:00.001-07:00

just when the rains fell
victoria was grey like a dead sparrow in rialto
the vegetarian shop had the right taste
chillies sung a green tune...

your hair flows like a summer field
and lips way in coffee red lips
as rains burn the summer dream
and river green goes river grey the mist will lift

and hunt begins 24 shots miss the dart board
as smiles are exchange and i awake a rainy day
a stormy life

2008-06-01T02:54:00.000-07:00

have i missed the boat

2008-05-22T13:35:00.001-07:00

the English are leaving molten hole
as skies burst slightly open
and wellington wind keeps me slightly warm

day 8 and a half

2008-05-12T20:07:00.001-07:00

on a cold morning
in a room without windows
a dark snake eats our souls
a bright light on the otherside of the river
out of reach in a land of alphabet

and numbers

connections occupy temporary posts

lying on the trampoline

2008-05-09T22:12:00.000-07:00

the leaves are not exactly yellow and the evening gold blasts frankton's
rugby shouts
hamilton is going into its winter as I need the extra avil sleep
cycles bursting with energy and allow myself this pleasure under
tamarind tree
three more months and the winter will be gone
hope's little excited mellow gleeful screams as her dad chases her
aucklnad just a wee bit warmer...just a wee bit

may the 8th...

2008-05-08T12:43:00.003-07:00

a soft light streams through a magnetic field and wood floors creak with joint injuries

2 a.m.s are not romantic times as a slow walk a delayed switch a multiplied exodus

from eden's stadium to mount roskill and smokes coming from red red earth

frozen fires

2008-05-08T12:43:00.001-07:00

winter burns holes in my jacket

we walk towards the light

through siberian starlit sky canoe

russian millworkers

smokin fire

looking for an african lioness

triangles float freezing bones

savanna's murderous run is taupo's black magazine

storm

2008-04-30T20:38:00.001-07:00

So I
go where

the wind

takes me

I am a maple leaf

autumn blast

Shoe horn & Kitchen

2008-04-30T02:48:00.001-07:00

the pinkpot key cries

as the old wood shakes

on roofs and sound

three cats hide their true feelings

left some food on stove and heart at your door

frankton has mountains and lights at two and sarah's

lipstuck swan swing the pond a lake in your german eyes

the car picked me up on time and life is hard on a soft bed

your moonlit body burns my soul

dhruv walks home from school

everyday shorter hotter women

asit's brother bought wrangler for Rs. 20

we bought thums up500 for 165

at chiu kau

and I asked for tintin comics

and pain agar had rin tin tin

we were a poor community

and threw water balloons at vernacular girls

I was crazy to through a frozen balloon and no one was hurt

and the ma poster

and diamond talkies

crossing Devonport bridge

with a lady that came from green moon

her father grew the healthy stuff in his hippie fields

melanie smiled emma cried and needed emotional pills

the white words watch Irani football

as padre hit the ball and I ate the pink salmon

someone knows adhyatma

spiritual neo green moon

2008-04-20T20:57:00.001-07:00

cold cold cold is the moon
fine for an opening line
but eyes are clear over Melbourne skies
and an old aborigine fire burning
in an adhyatmic hut
a jogan that sings krsna songs

a continent vibrates

last jay jay night

2008-04-20T18:26:00.001-07:00

i tried to rope in and kite the knight moon
through the sky window above my bath
i thought of your moonlight beauty
and the fish that pond in jungle green
i thought of your nude light
and a crazy dream that last eek had been
and your breasts that heaved and paved
a love on a concrete slab cobbled stone pavement
the little hut that sees no light
but i see universe in your eyes julia

the janitor boy

2008-04-20T18:22:00.001-07:00

knows cash rulz everything
and moon kills love
the one with old eyes

throwing black bags and green bags
listening to Michael learns to rock
philosophy sleeps in a dream

sleep walking sleep talking

whistling at specks on a starry night

false blond

2008-04-04T12:29:00.001-07:00

love is such a brittle thing that leaves the little bridge lame

her blond hair is a real thing that leaves her smile queuing

for her lips over a green river staring at an impossible moon

her voice a forever dream her waves a distant spring her love

impossible her heart can feel the fire of the false blond julia

a forever night separates spring from rain a dark angel a fox

gone grey early winter strikes your heart hurt hurdle I know

roses are murder and pineapple cats as feline your leo black pants

as she came knocking again

2008-03-23T06:37:00.001-07:00

as she came knocking again
in may when the sun went down
tumbling stars came blinking burning near
eden's thorns and aroma gone
stairs shook silently
Is it you out there?
a tear that linked us
denied us and slightly charmed the life out
as leaves fall again
and wind is cold

dark moon river,
black river moon,
green moon bridge,
walking in a mist,
canadian whiff,
vancouver rumour,
brown are the ducks,
black the sky,
suneal suneal,
sun dark empire,
burning, slightly wild,
randomly reckless,
idea spot,
green moon river...

looking at cows
milked to
tune of rock FM.

Holi Cow.
It's colour in India
bleeding every heart
in an afternoon hot yellow dusty road.
in NZ not Raj.

2008-03-23T01:49:00.000-07:00

walking on train bridge
thinking of jessica
staring at moonball
reflecting green waikato
water as train
comes reminiscence
a childhood circus.

indigenous pigeon
in a night burnt by freezing moonlight
and stars wannabe for attention
icy lake’s Christchurch hands
eternal love
and a little terrorism
in an old inn that asterix would love
scorched by sun
froze by lake
twisted the snakes
and a waterfalls with million specks
of Maori history
jail house rocks the blunt Indian curry
and a tanned face is eternal love
and the night that stared through an open gazebo
tiger
tiger
burns bright
in forest nights
at gmail and yahoo
slights and sparrows
pigeons and peacocks
a rustling fire in your Spanish eyes
a kiss on your maori lips

wind gone

2008-02-22T15:28:00.000-08:00

damp wood cries with cat poodles
a falling house in a wind starved city
the rain sweats sits and dies
pakistan burns
wellington bleeds
hamilton sweats
india sleeps
us gets a pint from iraq
your mormon face smiles

On a quiet Minara Masjid night

decide to take a walk
down the darker streets
Bombay mosques and the debris,

Bombay Mutton Masala, Fish Tandoori, Chicken Biryani….
VEGAN Police guns AK47s. drugs and
Payal’s chicken masala

2008-02-22T15:16:00.000-08:00

the green blue bathroom where we kids blocked the water to make it a bath\
the time when yashi brought wada from churchgate
and we had to pass time to see amar akbar Anthony
and superman two and buying stuff from cheaper by dozen at elco
and the streets of colaba facing Arabian sea
the day when we threw water balloons and pale-fulls on girls
when we bought a gun in a pink pack for Rs 12
the cycle race at juhu beach just cousins
the first bharat TV that showed Santa Kookdee
Killbill and the phase
when Krishna terrace was the love joint
yes been there done that

bonny is hiding

2008-02-22T14:42:00.000-08:00

behind the tank
its late night
and the papal tree hides
moonlight
we jump on black rusty ladder
water tank cement cave after treasure island
crime wave in mawiton
sardar’s khota scooter
bony’s car
natalie’s short shorts
jessy’s alive laughter (those were the days)
before she died we climbed mango trees
on summer afternoons
and freeman and pankaj were kind to me
with pepsi
and video games

Jumping on garden tops

*and all algebra sums are right
but proofs are impossible

tall in 83*

*waikato grass got that look on a hot morn
cows are in the field and bells on crosses
a beanie keeps me warm tonight*

Do you remember floating with me in a freezing lake in urewera jungles
at waikaremoana?
Do you remember eating vegetarian meal at a Maori tent in urewera
jungles at waikaremoana?

2008-01-03T08:39:00.000-08:00

or end

without

thinking of you
or
warkworth.
after two
months in hamilton
am going

to wellington.
got chosen
in the poetry
writing course.
spend new year
at
waikaremoana

with tame iti
and other terrorists
deep in the jungles
of urewera
in a gazebo
not a tent

in the freezing waters
where black swans swim.
and toi toi grows
like pampas

thought of you
and your fight
for moaris and
other just / fair causes

reminding me
of why you are
impossible to forget

if donkeys knew the colour of saffron

as */wawa /*waters rise

acid for brain

colored to show waves

a coffe place goes begging

crying alone in the rains

a smile a heart a tadpole jumps

out of the muddy pond

a silence scratch

2007-12-30T03:23:00.000-08:00

a banana yellow and dark
an arms truck filled with opium
warlords shouting chants on the street

you are a saviour ,

2007-12-25T04:18:00.001-08:00

chasing purple light cannot sleep tonight

dance drama passion betrayal

a dirty game suneal can play

let's play this the woman's way

lets fan fires die and life get up and over the

iron fence that you cherish

the cloud gauged

an old salvation hat lost

thailand chillies bounce in sky

an old red café still around

Oh teacher teacher you said you were red….and

kindly sarcastic to new unclicked boy

foreign friends you had your favours

prudence won and true and great

but I was late

crab and his single status frustrated the cobwebs

in the hole

you were my blood where were you

when 9 letters came

computers lost and palmed and pain

pity that

nothing came from you

in an old cowboy clown town that clicked

what happened there

psychedelic pity

screened a waterloo blade

no one volunteered for me

Coming

have i?

done right?

By staying

invisible

then there was the guy on the street

2007-12-25T04:00:00.001-08:00

he asked me not to judge his country on concrete slopes near ANZAC

he told me this is not how we are. I smiled

I knew in joe's barnee place with chap dog squeak

as I watched winded move clouds that hid sky tower

I knew that in emma's lap as she cried a waterview

don't go away she said and I labored at the warehouse

I have connected to your city sweet emma

there was this blond. scorpio femme fatale

in farmer's who gave me her picture number

she was from the city

but emma came and emma left

and mom lived died lived died lived died again

and the ace got stuck in the last heel

achilles elephant that passed through the eye of the needle

only the tail remained

and here I am in the city of a spa

hot too hot or cold too cold

and here I have made myself available

calling space waiting to go home

i will give you love that i never knew

2007-12-25T03:52:00.000-08:00

I will give you sun and its treacherous UV defection
I will give you the white lie fickle as fuck the moon

I will give you May but not Amy
June but not Emma

I will never give you Emma
nor Wellington

the prostitutes have left Istanbul

danced a horrendous lie in her pregnant painted phase

sun is a thief stealing light

Das

2007-12-03T08:52:00.000-08:00

It was in those days when we picked up sticks
from Kamil's Karkhana and the wooden sword was
made Dharam Veer style as we had a dual by
the Papaya tree & rubber band stayed Bharat's nails broke
I was proud and dad laughed as wood painted blood sword
of Rawal broke. He died of Aids Bharat a few years ago

In those days das came to stay in our small room
during the day as sunlight's microdust came through
Eastern window
Das praised me and patched Utkarsh's many
knickers so I could tear them at play
and promised me that I would win a dual
with Boman Irani

Das and me went to his hillcrest garbage down Dahisar
slum and made potato wada from memory
on a nice afternoon when he shaved and showered
and said 'waaah' even Alexander would not do this
ghost stories and magic continued
and carrom board games we won and lost
and books I cut and patched in smaller books
I stitched. Small was beautiful
except for my women

there is a lie in ever corner
but the lie is beautiful pig

Dubai glitters
on the moat
in the ferry

across the bridge is
temple mosque bur dubai
deira is sweet and filled

with street walking slits
in a black saudi arabian night
filipinos will smile

russians with burn
sands bleed
and chinese walk the shore line
without a brass

Remember the night I walked from that 7 star studded beach
What was the name
The Americans were in bikinis
And the Germans believed in IT prowess
What was the name of that beach

7 dhms I paid and Ajit crashed his car
as I crossed Bur Dubai to Deira
to your Choopa Choop shop

toy shops and levis dukaan
with thick banana shake
parathas from Malaysia

and red chilli sweet sauce
from thailand

2007-12-03T01:16:00.001-08:00

In an ancient bazaar

On a shore behind a wall I ran to pee

They sell fresh fruits & locals are there

No camels just khajoors and gunny bags

And those small potatoes that give arabs

Their Arabian nights. I am not Iranian but Pakistanis

Believe with their sharjah hangover of a cheated cricket match

"You cant trust them" the horse power potato costs

70 dhms a kg. discos are full of you and lavinas

glitterati and rashi's dreams of unfaithfulness

Yellow for fifteen paise

over the dirty brook
Jump over other grime
JUMP over the ghetto
return to the small house
in the nig building
where cate came from kitchen window

Mormon churches brinf Sesa into bright light
The white shirts and black suits and elders that

a ride in Disney world near the temple that points skywards
and prim and proper walking straight living erect
off the slow winds of the slow farmland on
the outskirts of Hamilton
