The Forbidden Bridge
Running hasty
river beneath,
a narrow
bridge spanning above,
a bridge not trodden
forbidden
was her presence.
The river
flows endless,
she spans
proudly,
Only to
be traversed by none,
but the
whooshing breeze.
Legend
envelopes the great bridge,
and the
green thicket across,
of lost
souls,
and mysterious
deaths,
history of
the angry local deity,
the feared
and revered myth,
rules every
mind,
forbidding
the forbidden!
N.B: The poem is written based on oral history about the bridge at Gasa Hot
Spring and like in the poem, it is a forbidden bridge. The history has accounts
of mysterious missing people and deaths too.

Cold Warmth of the Mountains
with
gurgling brooks,
and milky
splashy waterfalls galore.
mountains
towering above,
steep
cliffs situate along,
amid trees
of assorted blush,
an autumn
tint in air.
Birds
chirping and butterflies hovering,
squirrels
skittering and an eagle scanning
the
mighty river flowing below.
Even
more…
a caravan
of strong mules
laden
with varied loads.
nature crafting
music,
too soft
for the rattling car.
The dust
envelopes,
and
disappears-with the cold wind.
I drive
this enchanted realm,
70 miles
alone and alien,
I reach
an isolated school,
beautiful
yet lonely- the buildings modern,
and the
setting innate,
amidst fresh
mountain breeze,
bamboo groves
too,
oak trees
with falling leaves,
whistling
thrushes slipping away,
unfamiliar
tweeting birds,
I felt
the mountain love.
My host
was warm,
as his
room was,
with
smoke chimneying,
from the burning
hearth.
Dusk
visits soon,
and
darkness follows suite,
A candle
lights up
the
water burbles,
in the
big pot on the bukhari.
The
delicious dinner,
served by
faithful friend’s wife,
a
sumptuous share taken.
Time
fleets,
with
reminiscences revisited.
The
candle succumbs to the flame,
to be
replaced by a new stick.
The dim
room fills with laughter and life.
In this wintry
place,
blessed
by the untainted mountain beauty,
and my
friend’s hospitality,
with the
warm hearth,
and the
thick heavy blankets too,
I felt
the cold warmth of the mountains!!!

My long lost grandpa
On a bumpy humpy road
Had we a dusty ride
Me and myself with me
Rocked the road ahead
a Dylan classic present.
Was on to meet- someone special
The road didn’t matter
As the destination was better
An old humped granny
Waved for a lift
he hoped in-banged the door
We bumped a jolty ride
Reek of betel nut
filled my dusty car
Cursed under my lips
on offering the lift
didn’t try to speak
to sustain the unheavenly odour
Then came my destination
Told granny I’m stopping here
He hurdled out and
Said he lives there too
To my surprise- he was the one
The special one I came to meet
My long lost grandpa...
The shock brought me back
from a deep slumber.
The shock brought me back
from a deep slumber.
