Trust-Deficit… Maheshkumar Kathi, Telugu, Indian
The fact that I am wingless Has inhibited my desire to fly high into the sky The concern for constraints of space Restrained expanding my horizons The fetters of the heart reconciled: Pal! This is life. There is always a conflict Between the wonted common existence And the uncommon exotic desires. “Oh, you man, who…

OK, I Won’t Remind You… Manasa Chamarti, Telugu , Indian
So often, They overwhelm me… The days when you entered gently like a mist And pervaded my cumulus introspective worlds of fancy. Caressing the throbbing wayward impulses Whelming with flourishing tender springs of age The courses you guided love-locking Unto the raging pinnacles of youth… The moments We floated adrift in ardour Into the charming…

Demise of Mustafa … Afsar, Telugu, Indian
Demise of Mustafa “Son! Don’t peep into that room,” the warning of Aunt Fatima was ringing in my ears from the past. Ever since I received the message over phone from Munir Bhai that “We are performing the tenth day obsequies,” this warning rang in my ears repeatedly. If I could take the first…

To My Valentine… Vamshidhar Reddy, Telugu, Indian
I received your SMS this morning. What am I after all? But a nameless shadow of infatuated consummation Of deliquescent cold frozen by time. Take it Cool. Marriage is only a wedding of two corpora. Don’t eschew sleep when get dreamy. What had happened is only true; rest is fancy and a big lie.…

Zero Degree… Mohan Rushi, Telugu, Indian
He never entertained any great hopes, but, He searched for traces of originality in people… In the way they speak, they do, they walk Or the way they respond with compassion to a beggar Encountered suddenly on their way; In their love, anger, passion or hatred, Or the way they converse with a former…

On The Shores Of Intimacy… Manasa Chamarti, Telugu, Indian
That’s an age-old picture-freeze The grin of the froth At the lukewarm caress on his soaked feet Stars over his lips. Leaning over his shoulder and looking into the horizon She would be drinking with her eyes The bantering between Sky and the Sea. The wind and wave play pick-a-boo with the skin; Shadows play…

Nothing New… Nanda Kishore, Telugu, Indian
1 It is not possible for her. And, it is beyond me. There is no gain blaming each other. 2 Nobody would admit us. Secure are her people’s houses with doors and windows shut, Mine is an open sky where sun visits at will. 3 It is just the…
