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!

To me, you are like a fresh pearl
Found in the deepest bed of ocean
I need to dive in to find that portion
But
I don't know how to dive
Still
Waiting at the brink
For the ocean to dry
So that
Pearl is visible to my eyes
And
I could behold its beauty!

Bharti

Sometimes I wish to write
But unsure what to pen
Sometimes I know what to write
But unsure how to pen
I guess, it's all impromptu
At the right time one knows
What to write and when

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

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

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

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!

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

Bharti

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

Bharti

One must be right first to see what is wrong
One must understand wrong to be right
To know the nature of things really as they are
Contemplate on each thought without bar
To develop wisdom this becomes the road
Concept of singularity cloaks mind's door
If things are just one way
Wisdom is not required to weigh
Think 'just enough' to know what truth is
Hold thoughts momentarily and then release
Hold, but not cling as impermanent is everything

Don't be "full" of yourself
As "empty" is "full" of "air"

Don't throw your "weight" around
As "hollow" is "light" in "weight"

If someone is
Beyond your ken
Should you bother?
No, I think not
Because
Something unique
Everyone has got
Humans can never
Be fully mature
To judge another
With conjecture

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

*Bharti

Sometime ago
I went to him for relief
What I came back with
Was an additional belief
Unaware of the profound impact
Ignorant of the impending fact
That somebody would change
The course of my thoughts
He will become the ocean
My thoughts, the river
As destined
Submerging in the ocean
Is the river’s final run
And that additional belief
Of loosing is an absolute fun

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

effortless is
thinking ill
thinking good
requires will
when baffled
best is
to bring
all thoughts
to still

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

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

Bharti

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

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

One smile it takes to cloak it all
One smile for all to reveal
But, it all depends on
"What's the Deal?"

Bharti

I am both black and white
Whichever is visible to your sight

I am both sane and insane
Whichever tickles your brain

I am both good and evil soul
Whichever you like to unfold

I am both fact and figment
Whichever is you intent

I am both creature and substance
Whichever you call into existence

I am your mirror
Your true color

Bharti

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

*Bharti

I always think why

sometimes we see light in the darkness
but
sometimes find darkness in the light

sometimes we say right is not doing wrong
but
sometimes we feel doing wrong is our right

sometimes we play safe avoiding risks
but
sometimes we take risks in a stride

sometimes we think world is a mystery
but
sometimes we realise world is what is in the sight

sometimes we swoon over little emotions
but
sometimes we are indifferent to the plights

sometimes we are full of ourselves
but
sometimes we feel empty from inside

all our lives we face instability in feelings & thoughts
but
question why stability in the world is a fight

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

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

Bharti

You die; I die
You live; I live
You laugh; I laugh
You cry; I cry
You hate; I wait
Till late
Because
Love is not
Always
About a tie!

Bharti
