What is the whole idea of ‘Crosswalks’
if all we can see are just vehicles
placed atop those zebra lines.

-

I went for a walk
Bumping into your heart
in the crosswalk.
We indulged in a laugh or two
Reminiscing on old times.
Bright fluorescent bulbs encased in yellow.
A second longer I would have followed
You anywhere
Quickly flashing in the blink of an eye.
Although I miss times like this
I kept walking straight
Fighting the urge to look back.

-

Communication could be fade irrelevant commited non consideration.

Past the crosswalk into the intersection
A pedestrian stepped out in front of a bus.
He figured that the bus driver would see him
& brake in time.
The bus driver saw him at the last minute
The pedestrian already in mid stride.
The driver did his best to yield
The pedestrian young & in love
With a girl he had seen across the street
He made haste in trying to catch her attention.
The driver slammed on his brakes
The screech sounding off, all of the passengers
going forward.
By the time the driver could fully react
It was too late.
Young & in love the pedestrian lay helpless
in the crosswalk

CROSSWALK

Walking to the side of lane,
I got your verdict,
Verdict may be different.
But you were there to cool it.
Trying to cool it by myself,
I got to know, your hardwork.
My lovers become haters.
Haters are on spot,
Lovers are on rail.
My life become like Rain in Spain,
Where, I only got pain.

ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಕಟು ಸತ್ಯ,
ಹೆಣ್ಣಿನ ಮೇಲಿನ ಪ್ರೀತಿ
ವಾಸ್ತವ ಸತ್ಯ
ಗಂಡು ಬರಿ ಸತ್ಯ
ಗಂಡಿನ ಮೇಲಿನ ಪ್ರೀತಿ
ಸುಳ್ಳಿನ ಸತ್ಯ
ಸತ್ಯ ಯಾವತ್ತು
ಸುಳ್ಳಿನ ಬಲೆಗೆ
ಬೀಳುತ್ತಲೆ ಇರುತ್ತೆ
ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಹುಡುಗಿ
ಕೆಟ್ಟವನ ಬಲಿಗೆ
ಕೆಟ್ಟ ಹುಡುಗಿ
ಒಳ್ಳೆಯವನ ಬಲಿಗೆ
ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯ ವೈಚಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಅಂದ್ರೆ
ಇದೆ ಅಲ್ವಾ ಗೆಳೆಯ
