Mohan Sangram
1. BLESSINGS
If any day
God leaves me pleased
I shall bless him to be human.

2. INTER-CAST LOVE
Even as the father was
Pointing at the garden
And narrating to his boy
The love story of flowers and bumblebees
The son stopped him short and said:
“Daddy, why doesn’t its wife see the bumblebee
Exchanging so much of love with the flowers?”
***
3. FORM
Form does not count, beloved!
When it evaporates
The entire see adjusts in the sky
When transformed into memory
You entirely fit into my heart.
