When I'm Gone
Rohan Nath May 2017
When I attempt to race far away from your adoration,
Please don’t search for me because I’m gone.
The battles to satisfy your curiosity shall be futile.
You won’t notice me even if you walk a thousand mile.
The play of charging yourself has no purpose,
When you study about me and what I chose:
“Solitude from benevolence and every attention”
Please don’t accept me because I’m already gone…
Rohan Nath May 2017
Little beads of precipitations runs on me
While I wait underneath the cherry tree
Mysterious mist surrounds the atmosphere
Pedestrians comes into sight and then disappear

Unfaithful hopes flows through my psyche
While I wait underneath the cherry tree
Is this the sound of footsteps that I hear?
Now the foggy hemisphere appears so clear
I discover you blushing and yet eyes filled with tears
And the poem I secretly drew for you between your fingers

Under the Identical Star
Rohan Nath May 2017
We remain conscious as the night slumbers
Underneath the royal ballet of the stars.
Admiring the moon that paints our expression;
Unaware of the distances between our dimension.

Bold as long as we are under the same atmosphere,
And as long as we glance at the identical star…

Invincible
Rohan Nath May 2017
You’re not unaccompanied in this tempest;
We’re collected, in this malevolent test.
Let us grasp each other’s hand,
And together we shall stand.
Weaken the boundaries of religion
Believe in humanity for we’re ONE.
We’re are going to make it through;
United we can make an ocean of a tiny dew.
Affection is all we require to exist,
To pave a route through this dense mist.
Today, I do not belong to my nation;
I belong to a much superior civilization.
Humanity – that’s my religion and race;
And together we’re INVINCIBLE!

Innocent Intentions
Rohan Nath May 2017
Innocent smiles, and accidental intentional glances
Keeps me wide-awake yet woolgathering
Stargazing about the fairytale I live in
Would you care to inaugurate yourself?

I believe I observed the crumbled papers
Mystical notes between your slender fingers
I wonder what enigma they contain
Would you care to say something?

Charming blushes occupies your cheeks
Yet your play of ignorance is entertaining
What are you thinking of?
Would you care to share it?

Incomplete Rhyme
Rohan Nath May 2017
Fragmented promises and elapsed memories;
Reminiscences so delicate like our first kiss,
Still exists deep within my petite heart.
Extremely tough to believe, it’s time to depart…

So many daydreams dreamt together…
Now those thoughts appears so blur.
Flowing in the malicious stream of time,
I hope to meet you again sometime
And desire to finish our incomplete rhyme…
Rohan Nath May 2017
I wish we could daydream together
And the reality seems so blur.
We can flutter out of here
And glide above the blue sphere.  

I wish we could be on a vessel with sail.
I would claim that a fairy tale;
And discover the shore of Eden.
I desire to float with you again!

I wish we could be on a hot air balloon,
And we will touch the gleaming moon.

And I desire to go on a many such journey,
With you alongside me…

Ballet of Stars
Rohan Nath May 2017
When the domain appears dark,
And lacks a stunning spark.
I will light the storm lantern
And it shall burn like an aureate sun.

Behold! Your atmosphere is twinkling!
And the tender springtime zephyr blowing!
Hold my hand, for we shall dance together;
Mind my feet! I know I am an amateur!
And so you are…
Yet we shall dance under this ballet of stars…

Accepting the Scars
Rohan Nath May 2017
Mood of insecurity engages his appearance,
When he detects her loveliness by chance.
He remember the speckles of his surface,
Miles away from her celestial grace.

“How fortunate I am!” he whispered to her.
She responded to his emotion “Yes, we are!”
“Let my exterior be an illusion for others;
As you explore my soul and accept its scars…”

Thank you Mother
Rohan Nath May 2017
You sang me my first song when I was in the womb.
Endured pain to grant me the breath of existence,
Shed tears of joy when I was released from the cocoon.
How could I ever forget your warm hug and over possessiveness?

You nurtured me and I still remember your bed time stories,
I have seen you wake up the whole night when I was ill.
It made me feel secure and in the state of bliss.
You wake me up during midnight and make me have my pill

Reprimand me in every idiotic and erroneous step I take;
Now whenever I commit an error, I just visualize your image,
And my intellect prevents me from committing a mistake.
Oh Mother! The feelings are too great to be contained in this page!

During my childhood, I used to snooze on the couch intentionally,
So that you would bestow me on bed and tug blanket.
You always sheltered me in your arms when it rains or if it’s squally.
Oh Mother! Wish I could time travel to those remarkable dates!

Your fragrance is sufficient to make me feel relaxed.
To our family you embrace the uppermost position,
We would be lost without your management and your acts.
Oh Mother! You really show me how it feels to be with your loved ones!


You taught me the technique to survive in this peculiar world,
For you knew that you wouldn’t be with me forever.
Be pleased! For ‘I am prepared’ is my word!
I guarantee I won’t fall down whatsoever.

As the River Flowed
Rohan Nath May 2017
There were ripples of the sparkling stream.
The crystalline water was mirroring the blue sky.
That befriended with the sun’s wonderful beam.
Beams of the dazzling looking golden eye.

The background was overflowing with mountains.
Mountains with snowcapped peaks,
Their attainment of such exquisiteness is a real arcane.
What is it above the sky that they seek?

The eagles were gloating about their wings.
O! How marvelous they were to glance upon!
Thrushes flew above the river as they sing.
Grazing on the grassland was a cluster of fawn.

There I saw the elderly yet strong fisherman.
Flinging his lure in an elegant technique.
Attracting catfish and trout as much as he can,
While sitting on the boulder beside the flowing creek.

The loveliness of the lotus was luring me,
Positioned silently on the cerulean water.
The white arrowhead was charming as she could be,
Her petals were diminutive as they always were.

Far away, I saw a grandiose tall tower.
Its peak was reaching for the high heavens.
He stood there taking delight over his power,
Amazed all travelers every now and then.

The heavens above exposed a band of colors.
Little time, after the floating dark skies cried.
I then assumed that our life is filled with squalors.
But don’t worry because later they are all bright.

After the drizzle, dews sat calmly on the grasses.
Scarcely and leisurely moving towards the ground,
The sunlight coalesces with the dew with tender caress.
How luxurious they looked wearing the golden crown!

The children played alongside the river in pleasure.
Girls were collecting flowers to make tiaras and garlands,
While boys were skipping stones on the tranquil water
Their little footprints placed themselves on the loose sands.

And I was assembled comfortably on the greens.
Beside flowed the river without paying any notice.
It cleansed all of my hopelessness and spleen.
Therefore I slept on the nature’s lap with internal peace…

Darjeeling
Rohan Nath May 2017
I think I see the mighty hills of Darjeeling.
What magnificence, it is that they bring!
Bold as a King, so high its peak.
Where the oaks grow densely and so do teak.

I think I hear a whistling of Toy Train,
Elevating the twisted track, so slow they gain.
As small as an ant climbing up the King’s feet,
Singing and moving while sounding so sweet.

I think I observe a little streak of falling tear,
Fall from the eyes of Darjeeling, the valiant emperor.
I looked amazingly at the hills of Darjeeling.
All hail Darjeeling! Our benevolent King!
Rohan Nath May 2017
I made vows to never depart away from her
But alas! Yesterday was her last day with me
Oh! How I wish fate would travel as I prefer
Constantly listen to me and voluntarily agree

I sat right next to her as she suffered
Suffered from the merciless disease
That smote her with the rusty sword
Sword that brought her down to her knees

I looked at her hopeless wrinkled appearance
Her flowing tresses have now lost its dye
She gave me a weak smile as I glanced
My conscience can’t smile but just sigh

I grasped her hand while she lay on the bed
Motionless like the leaf on a flowing rivulet
Her existence now hangs on a fragile thread
I deeply desire to own a time controller with reset

It been an amazing adventure staying with her
We occasionally argued but it didn’t proceed long,
And for ever and a day cherished each other
For our love is eternal and exceptionally strong

My white blank sheets on which I inscribe
Requests me not to drench with them with tears
While the brutal death looks at me and gibes
But I know life goes on and I shouldn’t fear

Because I still treasure your golden memories
Deep down within my mind I still got the views
Reminiscences of how we first met and our first kiss
And how you whispered in my ears ‘I will always love you’

The Last Glimpse
Rohan Nath May 2017
There a soldier lied on the exhausted sanatorium bed.
Stay unvoiced and insensitive as he bled.
Faintly opened his eyes to observe the mayhem,
While a red uniformed nurse was announcing several names.

At the same time as I, Dr. Bell the way I was known
Reached and stood beside him to analyze the boy alone
The other doctors refused to examine him as he was a foe
Whereas I, Dr. Bell known as a savior has a life to bestow

Neither did he move nor did he watch me staring at him
But relentlessly looked blankly on a white wall with a grim
Suddenly he gradually inserted his red hand into his pocket
To pull out a photograph soaked with blood and sweat

Tears flowed down from his eyes as kept on staring at it
I wore my spectacles and approached nearer to inspect it
I was accurately traumatized to an extended degree
For what it contains is a picture of his family!

He closed his eyes and remained silent for his life to dim
Finally, he inhaled his finishing breath before the last glimpse.

Women
Rohan Nath May 2017
Who would contradict the affection of a mother?
She who endeavored to bestow us the breath of existence;
Intensely compassionate in personality they are.
Secures us and therefore forms our defense.

Who else can obtain and sustain the duty of a sister?
She who happens to be our emotional support;
Sensible in intellect and gentle in action they are.
Guides us and therefore on no account lets us abort.

Who would constantly be dependable like a wife?
She who makes it crucial to fulfill our needs at any rate;
Gorgeous in qualities and remains beside us for our entire life,
Idolizes us and therefore desires us to be her soul mate.

Who else can be more valuable than a daughter?
She who sacrifices for the advantages of her family;
Garnished with essence of motherliness and heals our scar.
They are overflowing with responsibilities to an extreme degree.

Women stay as the most significant person in our life and soul,
And build an effort to facilitate us to accomplish our goal.

Mountain of Glory
Rohan Nath May 2017
Down among assemblage of the common
I gaze up to the peak of the Mountain of Glory
It pierced into the heaven and embraced its purity
Many who lacked the determination have failed to touch it
Will I be able to achieve the crown?
These doubts charred the courage of my soul
But then a voice within the depth called out
‘We may rise and fall, but then we get an opportunity.
An opportunity to get up and continue our journey.’
With these thoughts orbiting around my mind
I initiated my journey from the bottom
The mountains resisted me for I was a stranger to them
It started raining and I was wet yet I continued.
Then there was the blizzard and I was cold
I was frozen like a soulless entity yet I continued.
Frustrated for having failed to eradicate me
The mountains unleashed shower of boulders
Alas! My left leg got crushed under the weight of a merciless boulder
I was crying alone on the mountain terrain
Nobody replied back to my cries except for my echoes
My blood-bathed leg turned cold and lifeless
I took off my shirt and tied it around my leg to stop the bleeding
I then, continued supporting my entire body upon my right leg
Limping and leaving behind ruby droplets I climbed
Upon climbing the last elevation! Oh! I reached the peak!
Gentle zephyrs of the heaven welcomed and cheered me!
The Sun glowed brightly to acknowledge my glory!
My name was written among the names of the immortals!
While the birds sang ‘Ye have conquered the Mountain of Glory!’
Rohan Nath May 2017
Be anticipative and breathe every day!
Believe in an enhanced tomorrow and pray.

Please be not a grumpy, thoughtless fool!
With its unwise judgment, a senseless ghoul.

Be a wise who has touched the peak of knowledge
Explore and love; be not in a painful cage!

Love, for it is the sweetest gift we can provide.
Guide the similar people who have cried.

Smile for it’s the most beautiful view.
Like a sunshine shining upon morning dew.

Don’t discard the precious flow of time!
By hatred or envy for they are heinous crime.

Believe me you are not the only.
So please end considering yourself lonely!

We are here to support you,
Trust me, I know it’s true…

During Times Like This
Rohan Nath May 2017
Gorgeous Creation enclosed within the cage of violence
Do I hear the echo of the cries of Creator’s Creation?
Gloomy clouds of Lust where some lusts for thunder!
Following the thunder originates the heavy rain
I breathe somewhere where greed overcomes generosity
Where the cunning betrayal overpowers the innocent trust
I see individuals surrender to the strength of these evils
But one day, I saw a speck of sunlight during these tough times
I tracked it and it steered me to a place too strange
For what lied ahead brought tears to my eyes
Two old generation who adored each other!
They didn’t fear the malevolent force
For they had an innocent smile upon their visage
And held each other’s hand…

Battle Report to my Captain
Rohan Nath May 2017
Captain! Our soldiers have deceased on the battleground.
Young youths! Yes, they were young boys!
Their motionless figure lies on the ground.
Crimson immortal stream shall never end flowing.
Captain! They inhaled their ultimate breath,
But it was a breath that packed their blood with fright.
Several lack arms and limbs;
Some are fragmented by showers of bullet;
While others disintegrated into pieces.
But don’t worry,
For I directed a message to the Command center.
They will ship a fresh division of troops…
Rohan Nath May 2017
Do not love me, if appearance entertains thee;
For they are deceptive like an illusion,
Hoodwinking the multitude with splendor,
But inside the core may lie darkness.

Love me, for thou love me
And let that be the reason of your love.
Close thy eyes and stare at me,
Thou shalt see more attractiveness
Than thou shall ever observe.
If thy adoration be proper and genuine
Mine too…

Where are the trees?
Rohan Nath May 2017
Blades of grasses touching my feet.
O! How gentle they are!
Like hiking on the floor of heaven
But after walking some distance;
My eyes caught the obscurity.
Why the trees have been cut down?
‘Is there no soul here?’ I called out.
‘No’ the echo responded.
I observed around to perceive a tiny sapling,
Determined to endure in the desert.
I knelt down and tears rolled down my cheeks,
And I said ‘Borrow my tears and rise up!’

What do we deserve?
Rohan Nath May 2017
Thousands of early youths lied on the ground
Immobile and numb with austere agony
Yet no pain clutched them.
Ocean of debris bounded me
I prayed in the silence of night
Upon summoning an Angel, I asked:
“Are we what we are?”
He didn’t communicate
But pointed his finger
Towards the firmament
I observed a red fiery heaven
I looked at him and said:
“Certain chambers of the human heart
Are occupied with smoke.
We are losing what we don’t deserve
I know apologizing shan’t revive the lost.”
He looked around with a melancholy appearance
Didn’t answer but departed
Silence took over every soul…

The Little Robin Flew
Rohan Nath May 2017
The little robin sang, ‘I can’t fly.
Mother, I desire to fly.
But I fear the dreadful descent.
I fear the immeasurable depth.’

The mother robin replied, ‘Fly! For ye shall
Realize the profundity,
For such is your curiosity
Maybe not now but shall regret later.’

The little robin beheld downwards with a terror.
Paced backwards and then sprinted ahead.
Jumped from the branch;
Dived into the unfathomable depth of ocean.
Fluttered his wings intensely yet down he sinks!
Trepidation occupied his delicate heart…

Suddenly, a tender zephyr of the spring held him
And shot him up into the heavens.
Terror turned into delight in an instant,
As he embraced the white cotton with his wings.
Then, the little robin observed his miniature abode
And the enormous world ahead yet to be discovered!

The Forgotten Death
Rohan Nath May 2017
The coldness of winter stretched everywhere.
Is there any possibility to remain alive?
I scrutinized around but they all appeared same,
Young boys with an expression of terror.
‘Is anybody there?!’ I gave out a long shout;
My voice echoed through the lonely desert.
No sound responded except my own.
Sometimes ago it was tremendously noisy
But with the trade of violence everybody hushed.
I walked around searching for existence;
Walking through the crowd of silence wasn’t easy,
As I frequently stumbled upon the figures of dead.
Some of the faces weren’t recognizable
Yet I identified the fear in their appearances.

Suddenly, my eyes fell upon my companion!
It seemed like he was having a bad dream.
His body was pierced by the bullets.
‘Wake up, matey!’ I shouted at him
‘Your mother breathes with a hope!’
But he didn’t care to answer back to me.
Tears welled up my eyes and so I spoke:
‘You have given up your life but for what?
Death for death? Suffering for sufferance?
I know you have sacrificed your breath
Yet you will live a forgotten death…’

Cliffhanger
Rohan Nath May 2017
Stay holding on to the mountain cliff!
For deep down below all you will find is grief.
You have come too far above touching the sky
Imagine about all you have tolerated to come this high.
You may cry and you possibly will suffer.
But retreat is not your word, for you are a cliffhanger.

An accomplishment never comes too easy.
It’s long twisted road full of obstacles and too messy.
Let your hands sore; Let your legs be numb.
But do not be all gloomy then succumb.
Believe yourself and you can accomplish wonders.
Prove yourself mighty, for you are a cliffhanger.

You will initiate your journey as an unknown.
People will mock at you and you will be thrown.
Don’t listen to them and continue your journey
For there will be a time when you will have glee.
Life will show you the best and worst it can offer.  
Pull yourself up and reach the peak, for you are a cliffhanger.

Ragpicker
Rohan Nath May 2017
Breathing in the shadow was his destiny;
Yet he walked on the street pleasantly.
Little feet embraced the scorching asphalt;  
Yet he walked on the street without a halt.
Skinny arms struggling to move his sack;
Yet he walked without turning back.
Belly crying for a roti and some water;
Yet he walked like those didn’t matter.

He knew he had to fulfill his concern;
A duty to survive and somehow earn…

— The End —
