ON THE BEACH

A cloud-eagle
curves to the haze
in the west
skimming the sail
on soundless sea

***

Watching the waves
with him she makes an angle
in contemplation:
green weed and white foam break
on the beach with falling mood

Poet translator Khalil Jomaa translates my #haiku into #Arabic:

looking for shade
under a shapeless cloud
a ragpicker

-- R.K.Singh

نص مدهش للشاعر رام كريشنا سينغ:

يبحثُ عن ظلٍّ
تحت سحابةٍ مشوَّهةٍ
جامعُ الخُردة

The wings of my thought
are too short to climb God's height
or blue deeps of peace:
I stand on the edge of
earth's physicality

I don't know how
the bones grow in the womb
still in darkness
the heartbeats pronounce
the balance of nature

I'm confident President Trump will end up in shame for the US and allies.

DON'T CARE

Appearances cheat
so what?
I am what I am
all chance and choice
don't care if my voice
is misunderstood
they never cared
my silence too

smelling night queen
breathe secret passion in air --
soft oretic hum
candle lights dance in circle
welcome one more Diwali

poetry unsafe

No one knows
when the sun will be clouded
or when it will rain
in Ramdhura
women and weather match

the swagger in party
and the day long hangover
is no poetry

I feel the foggy rise
from the hills below
and smile at my granddaughter
saying, "It's stormy
let's get in."

a worshipper offers food:
the flattered deity
in flowery garbage, holy
water, incense and sweat

The chill outside
deprives me of the bright moon
I breathe in my fears:
asthmatic bouts haunt and
jealousy itches the throat

from Shiva's temple
high decibel puja noise
wrath of the goddess
she prays for long power cut
for her short meditation

The world is too big
& my share seems so small
thank God my name’s alive
on the net they can find
my lyrics not read in print
though none care to comment
for academics to hail me
a poet for PhD

Shiva and Shakti
our freedom in union
twin flame of love
rolling in grains of sand
transcending together

Ram Krishna Singh’s Tanka

a healer says my sufferings not my fault: karmic imprint pay him twenty dollars break free from the past weight gain *** dull notes of life await re-ordering — rhythm and pitch behind closed …

lying in sun
on a straw mattress
a nude couple
whisper dreamed-up nest
when their ship comes in

***
taunting the old pain
in the brothel of bed
kitchen or shower
she fears the freaky bodies
snaky arousal and peak

a healer says
my sufferings not my fault:
karmic imprint
pay him twenty dollars
break free from the past weight gain
***
dull notes of life
await re-ordering —
rhythm and pitch
behind closed walls humming
to search my own music
