Meeting School Friends

Like a river I flowed.
Creeping through the cracks,
Peeking up from the burrows,
Cutting through the mountains,
I rallied ahead.

Took a few plunges,
Tussling with the stones,
Meandering in the planes,
Met the depth of the sea.
Where, my friends were already waiting.

ಸತ್ಯ

ನೀ ನೋಡಿದ್ದು,
ನೀ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದು, 
ಮೂಸಿದ್ದು-

ನಿನ್ನ 
ಬೇಧ ಭಾವಗಳ

ಹಿಂಡಿ ಹಿಪ್ಪೆಯಾಗದೆ,

ನಿನ್ನ ಕೆಂಡದಂತ 
ಸೊಕ್ಕಿನಿಂದ
ಬೆಂದು ಬೆಂಡಾಗದೆ-

ಸಂದರ್ಭದ ಲಾಭ 
ಪಡೆಯದೇ
ಹೊರಬಂದರೆ....

ಅದು "ಸತ್ಯ".
