Cost free is expensive smile
Easy to learn hard to find
Just that beaming curve
Is the best shape
For aaaaaall to entwine

*Bharti

My smile could be public
But tears are personal
Smile can be faked
Tears really roll for special one

Bharti

Artists are like crystals
Must be handled with care
One slip
Oops!
You loose it all there
However
On the brighter side
Even if they shatter
They still glint
Whatever be the matter
Crystal cleaving
May scatter the lusture
But the process
Can never douse the dazzle

Nature depreciates beauty with time
Talent is the beauty mask!

Commotion of waves
Filters innate dross
With a heart in rave
And soul in gloss

*Bharti

Nature needs nurture today.
Remember!
If NATURE does not ALLOW
Our lives would not be WOW!

*Bharti

I may not be yours
But you will always be mine
In my mind
My fetish you
Like stowed in the cellar
An ageold bottle of wine

Bharti

To be together, forever
You don't have to be like me
You just have to like me

Bharti

Past is rigid
Can’t change
Present is vivid
Hold the rein
Future is ghost
Figment insane

Bharti

Talentless with no position (Goon)
Talentless with position (Doom)
Talented with no position (Doom)
Talented with position (Boom)

Valuable is the caliber of a designee
Designation in itself is incompetent
Talented can exalt the lowest position
With talentless authority bears the brunt

Bharti

Pearls of words when bought together
Glides you into the world another

So powerful is their magical effect
Can turn an abject to a perfect

Vica-versa is equally true
So, affair with words is a matter of few

Beauty of this affair is always a pleasure
Relish every moment of this open treasure

Cheers to all who are engaged in this fling
For words, add to the feelings that extra bling

*Bharti

As a kid when I heard the stories
Of heavens and hells
And gods and ghosts
I thought of those to be true
But as I grew
My education warned me
Not to trust that view

As a child when my elders advised
Do unto others as you would have them do to you
I thought they were impractical
Ignorant of smartness required
To manage things through

By far I thought I was the wise
To have known it all
Realized late in time
How great was that fall

Superficial logic, intellectual materialism
Cloaked my natural state of true mind
Boosting desires, sterile opinions
Leaving the true sense behind

I am thankful to the nature
For giving me an opportune
To study the greatest reality
Why humans are marooned

Time and space are eternal
I am just the part of that infinite
The one awarded with human form
For some past intentions right
I should not take pride in that
For where I am today
Later might be someone else’s part

Man who decoded the mystery of mind
Taught this decades ago
Guard thoughts, actions, and speech
To reach the real goal
Not judge anything and any being
Instead focus on developing clear seeing
As everything is ever changing
Including ones birth realms
A full mind just exhibits knowledge
Only in empty mind wisdom reaps
Don’t get swayed by extremes
Middle way is the path of keep

Now I understand
Message behind the moral stories
What one sows is what one reaps
One gets heavenly pleasures or hellish pain
Exclusively based on law of deeds
One gets what one deserves
For law of nature never fails

But latent power within
Can turn it all around
If not enlightenment
One can at least find in life
A decent ground
Now and in future!

Expletives are explored
Requisites are implored

Grooming artificial intelligence!

Bharti

I became whimsical only in your rave
My swin was smooth until caught by your wave

Bharti

He was silent and stunning
She was spirited like a spring
When they opposites attract
I think its natures trick
To balance the act

*Bharti

In retrospect, I found
Something profound
"I want I will; I don't I won't"
WILL is the mother of all actions
That's infallible, abide or shun
But then,
What shudders the WILL train
Reason is common and plain
When hurt, I stop
My follow WILL slops
So,
WILL needs fuel incessant
If there's no support
Goose self-motivation

*Bharti

I can move mountains
With your little love equal to a mole
With the tiniest corner in your heart
I can make fractions into a whole

Dazzle of diamond
Richness of gold
Freshness of pearl
Simplicity of silver
A bit of
Rust from iron too
Thread it all in the string of time
To create a jewellery that glows
Adorn that with grace to see
How life grows
Everyday!

If there was a way out
To get you by my side
Probably, I wouldn’t write
Since, it is improbable
Elsewhere
I need to weave this fable
Hence on paper!
Still, so powerful
Your virtual presence
You nourish my heart
Nurture my thoughts
And father my pen
Oh! how fervently I wish
Something
Miraculous to happen

Bharti

Clinging to PAST TENSE
Trying for FUTURE PERFECT
Making all PRESENT TENSE

All VERBS tensed.

Grey billow of clouds
So hopeful these are
Filled with watery pearls
Guaranteeing remedial shower

Flashes of light
Sounds of accosting thunder
Declares to the dead world
Charging to live the real wonder

Season's first kiss
Between rain and earth
Leaves indelible petrichor
Uplifting spirits for all its worth

Bharti

If the memory
Of the entire world
Is erased right away

Without opinions
Imagine!
How serenity comes to play

What is the use of language?
By far, when it has
Only caused
Humanity to stray
Words have
Just become
A fabrication
To impose oneself
On another
Like a prey

Oh! nature
Erase the memories
So, ignorant identities
Fighting for attention
Can stay
Out of the way
For identity crisis
Could force one another
To only care and aid

On and off
Flickering grey
Chirpy feelings
Parked at bay

Unalloyed devotion
Just for one
Pushes you
Into oblivion

After a lot
Hue and cry
When you learn
The lesson why

Transition from
Tears to smile
Bubbles the senses
Though takes a while

Bharti

I always held deep reverence
For people in three occupations
Farming, medicine, and defense
For the reasons appealing

Farmers feeding
Doctors healing
Defense shielding

Seasonable occasion
To sing about defense
Today these lion hearts
Will be my subject to pen

We may critique our nation
For it slithering move
But one team deserves
Applaud for being resolute
Team defense
For formidable reasons
They fight for us selflessly
Irrespective of seasons

I reminisce my visit
To Wagha border once
It's elating to see
Armed forces lacing
Our pride in balance

Forgetting all bitter
Citizens fervently cry
Jai Hind
Unanimous voice in reflex
Don’t know why

Joining defense is a willful step
A malice can never serve
Day in day out these brave men
Hold our pride in suave

Salute to these people
Who for us
Sacrifice their lives everyday
These true resolutes
Uphold our independence
In every possible way
Second by second
Minute by minute
Month by month
Year by year
And will in
Years to come
For this
Bharti’s
Salute to them!

*Bharti

Nature is the greatest teacher

Crooked trees in the forest
Standing tall, exibiting peace
Indicating individuality of beings
Teaching we can take imperfections with ease

Lucidity of water
Absorbing all colours, flowing free
Indicating true nature of mind
Teaching we can severe from conventions unkind

Air all around us
Remaining oblivious, fueling life
Indicating selfless presence
Teaching we can become generous saviours

Solidity of earth
Accomodating all, feeding life
Indicating endurance
Teaching we can be helpful with no expected return

Vastness of sky
Spanning across space, inspiring heights
Indicating grandeur
Teaching we can stand tall with big hearts

Agression of fire
Igniting dynamism, demonstrating hold
Indicating fearlessness
Teaching we can be creative yet bold

Steadiness of mountain
Defying age, exuding independance
Indicating determination
Teaching emancipation

Freshness of rain
Falling free, spreading coolness
Indicating calmness
Teaching we can be soothing to cold hearts

Shine of sun
Spreading warmth, sharing energy
Indicating synergy
Teaching we can be light to someone

Shimmer of moon
Soothing darkness, glowing in phases
Indicating change in times
Teaching flexibility as time changes

Glitter of stars
Decorating skies, falling in while
Indicating transient fame
Teaching we all fade out with time

And so on................

We must understand
We cannt live without nature
Nature can standalone quite
We need to learn from it
Wear its qualities and requite

Alas! We invariably live againt it

With
Airy freewill
And
Fiery determination
Striving for
Watery perfection
On
**Earth

For every earnest question
Your response lacked conviction
An adroit silent escape
Saying that’s how I am made
Is like hammering my gentle trust
Leaving my crackled heart in crust
Just like your dire attempts to woo a foe
I wanted a fraction of that attention you know
I still in hope, of being understood
later or soon
Follow you like a goon!

When poets thoughts go bare
They evince without care
Minds brimming
With stories to share
With every phrase
Minds undress
Layer by layer
Some use fiction
Some illustrations
Nevertheless, for them
Spilling beans is always fun

*Bharti

(:-----------------------:)
At times I am lost
I too feel dross
But
In your fraternity
My laughter
Attains eternity
(:-----------------------:)

*Bharti

When every day clock ticks again with sunrise
Spring out with energy just like you got a surprise
Unpack the day with love thinking what could it be
If the gift is not to your liking, set your spirit free
Think “for someone you are the gift" to feel the glee*

*Bharti

Rains have stolen my rainbow terrain
Left to yearn for the sunshine again
Heart full of moss

Humans to nature: “I” have mind; “I” control you.
Nature to humans: Ha ha ha. I don’t mind; play with it; finally, “I will show you”.

Listen to me silly. I will explain the fact in your language. I am like your whole body. To me, you are like a single tissue of that body. Damage of a single tissue does not dissolve the body. But the tissue is gone forever.

Your euology to me afterlife will be futile
When I have been waiting to hear you all this while

*Bharti

Ages ago, story of a girl
Dejected for what she looked
Thinking just fair and beautiful
Had rights to glory booked

Did not realize that beauty
Lies in the eyes of beholder
Always self deprecated
Life felt like a boulder

A breakthrough insight
Blind to the imminent change
Discerned beauty is not just looks
It's in wielding ones skill range

Dawn of this realization
Broke her sealed senses
Now she is her own favorite
Exploring life beyond fences

Bharti

Best time of the day is night
An opportune to set things right

Best right is hidden in the wrong
An opportune to emerge strong

Best mostly comes from worst
An opportune to keep up in adverse

Bharti

Gilded streaks of sun rays
Knocking at your door
To share all its light and spirit
For you to just adore
Every day!

Bharti

I do wail at times, but you make me cry harder
I do smile at life, but you make my smile wider
You cast a spell on me
I am spellbound

Bharti

Bygones are bygones
Another chance to unseal the current
Don't bemoan over what's missed
Wield and shield
What you have to generate fun
Step ahead to perfection
Learn, learn, and learn
From everything and everyone
On this note welcome 2015
May this year bring you
Felicitous moments umpteen

Indent your view to a little right
Perfect profile proclaiming light

Bharti

Straitjacketing your smile
Masks many moments of glee
In full zip show that curve
In your sense and in nerve
That crescent shaped flair
And the ubiquitous wear
Ensures that you are there
Living in the moment
For "smile is the easiest stunt"
So, pick your like, chuckle or chortle
Smile should never be bottled

Bharti

Don't get close to me
Get close to me

Bharti

Mirror mirror, 'Who is better?'

Mirror replied, 'One who does not compare, is rare.'

Emptiness is NOT nothing
One is empty of something
Like an empty cup
Is empty of tea in there
Still full of air
Likewise
I am full of cosmic miracles
But empty of self existence
Thank you mother nature
For lending me
A bit of earth
A bit of air
A bit of water
A bit of fire
And all that you share
With your borrowed elements
I came into existence
Infact I am just a manifestation
I cannot exist on my own
There my emptiness is born
I realize this truth
That's why I now know
Emptiness is NOT nothing
One is empty of something
This thought is not negative
Infact, it makes me humble
And pay due
Gratitude to you

I weaved a fable with you and I
I played my part you didn’t try

Bharti

When I look in the mirror
I urge myself to compete
When YOU are by my side
I find myself complete

Bharti
