The curvature of mystery   Bereft of leaves, the naked branch That spreads onto our balcony Is the curvature of mystery Which poses the question eternally Its flame like twigs tiny, newborn, its branches of fruits that stop the wayfarer The cuckoos that sing in its cool shade The little blue rags of sky caught in its leaves and keep fluttering- Where are they! Where did they go! Now of course it is a naked branch, At its end a kite like a tail of sankranthi That vanished into time like evaporating tear invisible- If I show you one visible posture I know you people devour the entire invisible world of my thoughts and feelings I know – that is why –I say it is naked but in that branch Time is flowing like electric current in the copper wire.   -Seshendra Sharma http://seshendrasharma.weebly.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GunturuSeshendraSharma/

About the Poet
Visionary Poet of the Millennium An Indian poet Prophet Seshendra Sharma http://seshendrasharma.weebly.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GunturuSeshendraSharma/ Seshendra Sharma is one of the most outstanding minds of modern Asia. He is the foremost of the Telugu poets today who has turned poetry to the gigantic strides of human history and embellished literature with the thrills and triumphs of the 20th century. A revolutionary poet who spurned the pedestrian and pedantic poetry equally, a brilliant critic and a scholar of Sanskrit, this versatile poet has breathed a new vision of modernity to his vernacular. Such minds place Telugu on the world map of intellectualism. Readers conversant with names like Paul Valery, Gauguin, and Dag Hammarskjold will have to add the name of Seshendra Sharma the writer from India to that dynasty of intellectuals.
