transcreation attempt

(original) by feroz zaveri

sirf..

kitne din zaaya hue
kaise kate
kahan gaye
kaun tha mere sath
ya tha main sirf

aur agar tha koi saath
hota koi paas apna?
ya paas rakhkar kisi ko
rehta main
hamesha sirf

galat na samajhna
sirf nahin soona
jab man mein ho khayal
aur hath mein kalam
kagaz hai sirf.....


attempted transcreation (by me)


wish...

so many days
wasted...
was it you
with me ?
or me with me
alone ?

was my own
with me ?
or were you
someone
i made my own ?

wish you could
understand..
its only about
gut spilled
with pen
on paper...


wish....

silences

soul's silences
speak of
what we have
lost

winter snapshot

coal black scorpio
loaded white chrysanthemums
today's hearse

sunil's version of the phone card haiku

phone calling cards
reduced to bookmarks
of times we spoke

phone calling cards
lapsed in to waste
we don't talk any more

tech haiku

mouse runs away
to your name on chat browser
betrayal by technology

haiku 29th november 2005

flaky cookies crumble
into my cleavage
v-necks suck

bacardi blast haiku

tart touch tests
tickles tongue
tipples tantalise

more winter haiku

quilted cuddles
consuming fires
my longing weeps

more haiku....

lipstick haiku

copper blaze
lips wait aflame
shades of the season



necklace haiku


strung golden orbs
skin warmed
i wear your longing

winter haiku

inspired by richa's winter haiku which she sms'ed me today...



winter sun caress
tempts sanity
musk flowers....

chat haiku

fall in love
words on a screen
reality brings relief

soul child haiku

soul child
from across 12,000 miles
cooks up serendipity
