G Parimala Rao जी परिमाला राव

Playing around
In the gusty wind -
My candle mind
[from my book ‘Birth of Hope’ (2000)]

खेलते हुए
झोंकीली हवा में
मेरा मोमबत्ती सा मन

Autumn leaves
Journey of color
Last breath of glory

[The following haiku are from my book ‘Seasons’ Heartbeat’ (2003)]

पतझड़ के पत्ते
रंगों की यात्रा
आखिरी श्वास गौरव का





Snowfall -
Sleepless trees
Under chilly bed cover

हिमपात -
निद्राहीन पेड़
शीतित चादर के नीचे






In the cloud blanket
Winter moon
…Still cold

बादलों के कम्बल बीच
सर्दी का चंद्रमा
- अभी भी ठंडा






How many
Sunsets?
In autumn trees
[‘Still’, Journal of short verse, London]

कितने
सूर्यास्त हैं
पतझड़ के पेड़ों में
