FUTILE SEARCH

They have been in hunt to know

Where from the fragrance comes!

They wonder; from flowers of heaven

Or some mysterious garden,

Far beyond the seven seas

The perfume appear!

It awakes their sense and

They ask everyone; which flower

To bear this holy fragrance!

They seek and find-

It is not the scent of jasmine,

Blooms at the darkest night;

Or from the splendid lotus

That has been blooming

Since the cosmos formed

And not from any blossom

Born by the spring itself!

They are in search far and wide,

To find where the source.

Anywhere they travel,

And the cologne reaches them

Covers and intoxicates their souls

And they still in search madly

And foolishly, not aware that

The perfume which made them blissful

Is in reality, from their own self,

Evolved from the heavenly blossoms

Flourished in their own spirit,

By the celestial marvel

Because of their hearts in love!

DIVINE GIFT

The warmth that make you to shiver!

The chill that gets you heat!

The assault that pins you still

And the rapture that takes you heaven

Nothing gives two hearts the delight

But only with this divine gift!

Love passes from mind to psyche

Affection travels from one to other

Romance transfers from heart to feeling

Lust conveys from person to spirit

Warmness voyages from essence to soul

Sweetness pours from lips to lips!

All these only through the bliss

And for ages it is called kiss!

A LOVE LETTER

I try to write with trembling hand

Wishing words come from my heart

Which beats and leaps up much

Though my will tries to press it

With my passion and tenderness

It is your eyes that drag my essence

Into affection and warm-heartedness

And your smile that anchor my feelings

Your incarnation beckons my psyche.

Seeing the dreamy rain shower

And silvery moonlight fans out

Over hills and dales

My heart feels exaltation and bliss,

Only because of your fondness

The bright daylight and gentle breeze;

The singing birds and pretty drizzle;

Charming flowers and butterflies

Everything romantic reminds me

Your presence is certain

In my desolate life

I wish in my heart to write you

A thousand lines to show you

My deep inner thoughts.

But the physique doesn’t follow the spirit

And I write with trembling fingers

Only this single line-

‘May I perhaps request you to my life?’

THE CLOUDBURST

With my hopeful dreams

I decorated the cosmos;

By means of my smile

I made the sky bejeweled

I myself sent a thousand

Messengers, the wind, and sunbeams

The rain and the moon shower

To show my deeper love

And to invite you

And I waited impatiently

For your return

But came back they one by one

Unable to see you

You were hiding somewhere

And I let the clouds

To envelop my whole dreams

The firmament got dark with mist

But I still wait for the messengers

Here the last one too comes

Oh! But empty handed!

I let the clouds to burst out

To cool my hopeless dreams

26.03.2011

STILL WHY YOU TO WAIT?

The goal is far-off but distinct

Obstacles are numerous to face

But it bestows you much power

And more inspiring the challenges are

And your vision is definite and clear

Rough and hard the pathway is

With thorns and stones all along

But your determination makes it

Painless with soft petals of flowers

The whole cosmic is here with you

To dispense you the helping hand

For your success!

With all these the ambience ready

And the goal is set precise

Nature made you fit and well

To be the all-rounder,

For the entire game to play

The cosmos made your soul steady

Inducing the vigor called confidence

None could block you; none to stop

Still, why you to wait?

And why not to wake up

From this disused slumber?

HEAVENLY SPLENDOUR

Nothing suitable for you to ornament

Though I search the whole cosmos

I seek every nook and cranny

But in vain all

I hunt among the galaxies

To find the best jewel

For my sweet to wear

I have been in enquiry among

The green dales and cobalt sky

For my bellowed to dress in

The apposite and perfect garment.

No suitable bed I can find

For my sweetheart to sleep

Though I search far and wide

Among singing birds and chattering brooks

And even the whistling wind I enquire

To compose the sweetest lullaby

I explore the black night

To draw her eye lines black

But the darkest night is not

Enough black for her oceanic eyes.

Among the flowers I search

Fragrance in variety but

The spring is not enough

For her to perfume!

And I now rejoice in my heart-

Nothing beautiful

In the cosmos is not enough

For your heavenly splendour.

YOUR PRESENCE

As the sunshine reflects colors thousand

Through the dew on leaf tips,

I feel my mornings are charming.

With tantalizing fragrance the breeze

Patting gently over my face

And I believe it is kissing my soul

The symphony of birds in spring

Makes my mind dance in glee.

When thunder beats and the clouds

Shower heavily, my soul imagines

It is the rarest rain in desert!

When nature paints twilights in fancy,

My heart beats and jumps in joy.

Very rarely, the gift of nature

In seven colors appear,

Though for a while, makes

My mind overjoyed for hours!

I wonder and enquire everyone

Why the whole charm around me

And I get the answer

From the marvel itself!

Now me, doubts nil, realize

All these allure by your presence-

Your fondness boundless!

Let my soul in delight drown

In this ocean of your fathomless love.

IN ROMANCE

Perceive the sunlight over the dale

And ocean snuggles the horizon

While tides embrace sandy shore

And the sweeping breeze in love

With the garden, full bloomed

With flowers a thousand, filled

Their bosom with honey in lust

Eagerly waiting for bees to yield.

Behold the rainbow in search

Of her sweetheart and vanishes;

Nay, she elopes with the cloud!

See the night in blanket dark

Moon rays kissing lotus flora

Over the lake where stars mirror

Like glowworms around the vale,

And in love with jasmine

Creeps over the bush who in hushed

Romance with dew drops falling!

All the nature in love and desire

With its sweet loved pair

And I wonder, my beloved,

Why to wait you and me,

Though our hearts glitter

With silver beams of romance!

ENDOSULFAN

Behold these poor souls in pain

Limbs thin and twisted tongue

And vision nil in their dreary eyes

But, may their inner thoughts be clear

May  they see what you do

And hear what you say.

We wonder and question

Why you still waiting?

Why don’t you to do a bit

To save the approaching age

From being like this poor hearts

Or like other hundreds!

With poisoned blood and genes!

You, monarchs in high mansions

Have eyes nevertheless blind;

Ears yet deaf; tongue however tied!

Open your eyes, listen with heart,

They are our brother and kin

No vision but tears their eyes have.

We are not begging,

We demand sharp and shrill!

Raising our voice high-

“Exterminate this toxin

From our mother earth”

Or else our children would drown

In this hot and poisoned tears!

WAITING

With you came the spring

To my deserted garden

Flowers bloomed thousands to see you

And came butterflies numerous

Not for honey from blossoms

But to mill about you

And birds in chattering

To hear your music

Like a full bloomed sunflower

You persisted in my garden

The perfume spread around

Made envious all

They all watched your shining face

Our dreams and hopes and lust

Made it the seventh heaven

The bright sun above felt envious

Seeing your flaming beauty

The stars grew jealous

But not known if

Seeing the flowers or your splendor

The moonlight lingered here

To snog your stature

The breeze mill around here for ages

To embrace you always

But oh! Suddenly the day came

The day you got vaporized

Like a drab flower you faded away

But still the garden bears

Buds in thousands; waiting to bloom!

And the spring hangs around

Unwilling to go

And my psyche keeps it alive

Only for your return!

WHY YOU BLUSH?

We are in concert always

Ambiance changes but

Our hearts couple tightly

And our souls in blending.

Like milk and brook we mingle;

Like air and perfume we coalesce

Our souls embrace each other

Our bodies are not two but single

Like the distinct sweetest dream.

But what we search each other

None knows but we alone keep.

Oh! My dear, see the stars!

Blinking in the firmament

And the moon shining above

Did see our romance!

Why you cover your face?

You splendid soul in shyness!

Don’t you see the romance of

The moon with the lily blossom,

And moonbeams kissing its petals?

Don’t blush my pretty beloved

Come more close to me and pass

The sweetest and enchanted kiss

And elate me to heaven!

Let the impression be envious

And let the space be jealous

Seeing our hearts in romance!

THE QUESTION UNANSWERED

How the question arises?  We no not

When we felt it? We know never

Who asked it? We forget

When shared the doubt? We leave

But, here reigns the question-

‘What is in between us?’

We have been enquiring:

Is it romance between hearts

To be merged for entire life

In peace and in harmony?

Or is it passion of spirits

Craving for ages to meet?

Or is it the lovely warmth

Felt by those poor souls

When catching the perfect shelter

In an untamed deluge?

Or is it the lust to cuddle up

Like the sea and shore nestle?

Why we rough and tumble on causes?

We are sure, beloved

Reason never can define it

We agree there is ‘something’

Between us and we both fondle

Dear, that something so dear

And we equally wish that lasts

Till the last wheeze!

COME WITH ME

Come my beloved; come with me

Beyond the skies

We will make ornaments with stars

We will wear costumes

With galaxies, span infinite

And we’ll play with heavenly bodies

And we’ll fly through constellations

In gaiety unknown to all

We’ll stay under the shade

Of pearls, diamonds and crimson

We’ll sleep in gardens unseen

We might see brooks and flowers;

Breeze and drizzle, we may feel

Moonlight and rainbows to charm us

Cologne of unknown fragrance of heaven

To wake us, from dreams plentiful.

Come my dear

We will go beyond the skies

And above the stars

Where none to part us

And none to perturb our love.

YOUR EYES

So profound your eyes, my view

Reaches never !

So cosmic and azure

Like ocean; like the sky in sapphire

With bright sunshine

Bluish, like deep-sea, no spots

But tides; oh! Heavy

And profuse with farthest

Ebb and surge

And horizon beyond my reach.

Seeing your oceanic eyes

I feel rapture

Like the first drop of rain

After a long and lengthy summer

With heat and thirst.

Feel at times resembling a valley

Unknown; overflowing silver moonlight

Like the firmament in evening

With stars blinking

And constellations whisper

Nothing but loving murmur.

Oh! Mine poor soul believes in vain

It all with your spirit in love.

THE SWEETEST DREAM

Flowers bloom around me

With your touch of soft fingers

Over my melancholic heart

And moonlight in silver spreads

Around my bleak soul

When the music covers from

Your lips with the sweetest voice

The soul of mine in desolation

Is lifted to ecstasy in delight

Whilst your charming eyes contact

On my eyes and shyness stretches

Over your face in redden

And I see the rarest smile

You grant in dazzling stones

And while your hands round

My soul and dreams

I am elated to skies in bliss

I see gleaming stars

And glittering constellation

As the sweetest scent of your love

In fragrance nowhere felt

By none through the ages

Covers me and your sweet lips

Touch my thoughts in love

But alas! It lasts only for a moment

Misfortune; It was only a dream

I close my eyes again in vain

Hoping the flow of dream,

The sweetest one I ever had!

DREAMS OF FUTURE

View those butterflies

In exciting color and in

Babble, the pretty chatterbox!

They never in gloom, but in joy

With nameless happiness rules

Feel they no worries, for them

The world is still in splendor!

To learn they go, to play,

To dance and to sing in group.

Hark the little lass’ prattle

In pigtails and in pretty frocks

Look the small boy in uniform

In shape like a mature

He is in thought and his face

Shows he is with earnest idea!

He is the hope of a loving mom;

She is the dream of a caring pa,

And they are the dreams

Of our future in whole!

Unlock your conscience,

Let them grasp your care

They, the brothers and sisters of

The loving little ones of

Your own home,

Are not strangers to you!

Don’t let the road to stain

In red by these flowers in glee

With your neglect a moment!

Vande Mataram

Vande Mataram

TOGETHERNESS

We are floating through the splendor of night

Along the dark sky but bejeweled with stars;

Numerous in numbers,

Like your kisses showered over my dreams

Like your fond embrace bestowed on my craze

Like your tender patting over my lusty imagination

You grant me your passion

Infinitely precious as the sunlight to the flora

And as the air to living;

It gives me life and sooths my heart in gloom

Do not seize it away even from my dreams

Do not leave my spirit alone to wander

Without the tender touch of thy sweet lips;

Over my soul;

Or it burns itself and might shatter my heart.

Your passion is the nectar to my life;

The elixir to my spirit

Your sweet tone stimulates me delight

And your touch on my sensation

Helps mine emotion to spread

Above the sky, among the stars;

Like the moonbeams over the dale

Like the warmth of daybreak  glare

Over the fields, where life grows in joy.

Let it not part my passion

And my lusty imagination

Let it stay in my heart ‘til the very last breath

Take it away never from my meager soul

Seize it not even from my dreams.

WEEPING I HEAR IN SILENCE

Oh! They decide to slay her

Yet to live for another hundred years

They are slashing her

Slowly they chop the branches one by one

Where a thousand flowers bloomed in spring

Where charming flies came in plenty

To taste the sweet honey

Where the blossoms bear splendid fruits

Where birds nested and sung in bounty

The branches fall down one by one

On the ground where children played once

Where they sung and waited for the fruits to fall

Where they amused in the shadow

Of the green leaves touching the sky

And gave the brown tender foliage

For the cuckoo couples to munch

Danced in the breeze in gay with the song

Given all profuse fresh air in plenty

Now remains the stalk in height

No branches; no leaves at all

Ready to fall; but still hoping

To live; to grow; to bloom; to fruit!

How bleak the view is!

They start slaying the trunk too.

No other go for her; she is still,

But I hear the weeping in silence.
