The mist above the river
was ethereal today
most evident on the bypass
as back home we made our way
The golden of the sunshine
like a yellow echo there
as we drove into the spectral
which consumed most everywhere

2 of 10 in the Jemverse ‘On the beach’ series
So I’ve not written ’bout the beach
for quite a while it seems
but today is quite appropriate
with all these new sunbeams
For it seemed the summer left us
when August’s evening came
yet now it’s back and shouting
lest we forget its name

1 of 10 in the Jemverse ‘On the beach’ series
I took a week off
it was a good choice
as there were good things
in which to rejoice
For starters the sunshine
decided to stay
and reboot the summer
in every way

I’m hoping for a little rain
to cool me down in this
something I always welcome
as for me the heat is bliss
But it has been relentless
as in England unprepared
the infrastructure fails
so no-one here is spared

Concluding the Jemverse ’12 months III’ series [12 of 12]
Inevitably August time
when this month comes around
would see us looking forward
to a holiday we’d found
Somewhere hot and balmy
and usually on a ship
far across the ocean
for our destination trip

And when Monday was finished
with Tuesday begun
the February sunshine arrived
Still weak with the winter
bereft yet of warmth
at least it could say that it tried

Three Things
Cannot Be Long Hidden:

The sunburns are red
The tanning is gold
The marks are real
The sweat is glowing
With the heat of the town.
She is burning
He is burning
To fire the conscious
To light the lamp
In the heat of the sun.

Blankets are leaving, we are all naked
as newborns, with sunglasses on our eyes.
The bluegreen day with yellow tint
is disguised as grey,
and we can’t blink
until the park is met, until our feet get wet;
it’s a savanna, and the rhododendrons
flare, and my compass knows
the way, the tide will take me out
come noon.

It was vibrancy shouting
my name out loud
as I welcomed the sunshine
from behind winter cloud
And the stage show of colour
I had waited long for
sang loud with theatre
for raptured encore

I wrote this poem in Hindi couple of days back. This is a rarity for me. Hindi is not my mother tongue and Hindi grammar, specially keeping track of the change in gender of the subject / object / verb combination is difficult for me. From time to time I did venture in writing a few. I translated the poem to Axomiya ( Assamese – my mother tongue) and to English . Posting these below with English translation first followed by original Hindi poem and then Axomiya translation.
( In the Assamese translation, the translated word for Eerie ( or strange) is a compound word “Advut”. Even with my best try, my PC ( Windows 10) will not allow this compound letter/ word to be written properly. So I was forced to replace it with a synonym, Achahua.
Eerie this feeling of loneliness
Lips have not kissed the bottle

In Lamb’s Green the daffodils
have made an appearance
Spring waits there in the wings
And the yellow is welcome as
it speaks of the sun and
echoes as Nature she sings
