A therapy in lows
A canopy when sun glows

A resonant vibe
The perfect tribe

The cream to the cake
A dream to keep one awake

A cage locked from inside
The best page to scribe

Too dreamy to realise
Too flowy to crystalize

Some people are treasure
A measure of pleasure

The assurance of reassurance
Life long insurance...

Sometimes good sometimes bad
Often make one sad

Sometimes fresh sometimes faint
A picture they paint

We hide or flaunt
But the past is bound to haunt

Make new or retake few
But the mood goes blue

We quit but revisit
Somewhere in heart they sit

All memories
are ongoing stories

A trip down the memory lane
Some fond memories and some pain

Hidden under the layers of time
Got scratched and come up again

Some regrets are involved
Some issues remain unresolved

Some incidents change the life forever
Some mistakes write the wrong future

A tearing tale not to be told
Sometimes tears are difficult to hold

A sleepless night
An internal fight

The acceptance comes late
To leave things to the fate

May be past karmic balance
To payback we get chance

People we come across are mediums
To let us pay the debt in premiums

जीवन सारा ऐसे बीता
खाली खाली रीता रीता

क्या अपना था जो है खोया
क्या हासिल है जो है पाया
ऐसी थी तृष्णा मन मृग की
न ही जागा न ही सोया
फिरता मारा मारा हारा
मन को जीता तब जग जीता

पंछी था छोड़ा अपना घर
भूल गए थे उड़ना ही पर
तड़पे ढूँढे रैनबसेरा
लौटा वापिस फिर बेड़े पर
बीच समुन्दर प्यासा अंदर
बूँद बूँद शबनम को पीता

पतझड़ के पत्तों का मंज़र
आज शिखर पर कल धरती पर
नीरसता और सन्नाटे भर
बिन आशा के सूना बंज़र
सूखा टूटा बिख़रा बिख़रा
चाक ज़िगर के ख़ुद ही सीता

जीवन सारा ऐसे बीता
खाली खाली रीता रीता

My heart
Neither sad
about anyone, nor mad...

Yes! It's changed
No one matters
not interested in others' matters

I don't claim
It's under control
But, it doesn't trust them anymore

Not exactly
It's shrunk to few people
But not ready for new hassle

When they meet
I greet with a smile
But "no strings attached" is new style

The status is available
But steered clear
from those who aren't approachable

Have hopes and
Do have desires
But now I do not aspire

Only when it rains
The old wounds pain
But the life is peaceful again

In the sun
An uplifting run
Friends having fun
Massaging waves
Healing sand
Heartwarming
The spirit...charging
The soul..Solar powered

Relaxing evening
Stars soothing
The moon balming
The night...calming
Under the sky
The night passing by
The soul...Lunar cooled

When the life
treading a tumultuous trek
in a
minimal
monochrome
margin,
An
unexpected
presence
colours the canvas
highlights the shadows
enlightens the path
re-kindles the flame
wraps with the warmth
contents the life...

The food
Need
Sometimes greed
Coping mechanism indeed
×××
The books
The quest
When you rest
Escaping mechanism....best
×××
Social media
To interact
People connect
Gratification mechanism...In fact

Few words of comfort
Few words of validation
Few words of acceptance
Few words of humor
A nonjudgmental listener
An unconditional love
An all weather friend for all the above
What one needs to avert the suicidal thoughts.....

Positivity is good
until
the reality is also realised....

intending a sip
but end up taking a dip

when unrestrained the urge
one is bound to submerge

a desire untamed
none to be blamed

restraining self is the best way
otherwise be ready to pay....

When one desire fulfills...
arises another
We never settle...
At times
the renunciation prevails
and worldly matters rattle
Life....A perpetual battle
needs you to prove your mettle....

Follow the lock down
Or
Land up
In
Lock up..

Past simply expensed
Present perfectly clenched
Future presently tensed....

Active voices....making passive noise

A pause.....claused for a cause
A comma, little longer
                     to avoid full stop

A brake.......to keep running smoothly...
A bump to prevent
                    the obvious slump

Join the hands and pledge
                    to  not join the hands
Unite against the pandemic
                    by staying separated

Support the movement
                    by supporting no movement
Support the society
                    by remaining unsociable.

Spread the awareness
                   by bewaring of spreading the virus
Save the world
                   by staying in...

Some working from home
Some working at home
Some working on home
Some losing their home
Some losing their work
Some having homeworks
Some are home alone
Some going to God's home....

Let's unite
Get inside
To fight

Once you stock
Please do not flock
It's time to lock

Over socializing does
have side effects
Have family time
and introspect

The values of family are realized
A restoration of the bond,
sharing of chores is
finally materialised

Dear singles
Hold on!
you have whole life to mingle
Thank services for having connectivity
Online reading is the best activity

When our lives are on stake
Time to bake the cake

Stay on and pray!
Till Corona goes away!

कोरोना के बहाने से वो  
क्वारंटाइन हो बैठे
नक़ाबपोश हो निकले
हम दीदार से हाथ धो बैठे
Under the pretext of Corona,
self-quarantined,
my beloved,
turned out wearing mask,
I lost the opportunity to have a glance...

Be the carrier of love-virus
go around the world
and spread it everywhere!

Sneeze at the airport
sitting amongst people
glorify the disease here and there!

Walk down to gardens
roam in the market...school...cinema
shake hands with all!

Neither precautions nor quarantine
everyone accepts the might of "Loveria"
may everyone gets infected with it!

O my friends across the world!
knowing no boundaries
"Loveria" affects for lifetime!

Cultivate such a virus
and have no immunity to humanity
then visit Wuhan!
Jayantee

You win the breakup
when you hold no grudges
and
takeaway a lot.....

Soothing sentences, spoken
in concording...conducive...conditions,
in malleable...melting...moments
are not promises for lifetime.....!!

Question - Why do you write so much pain?
Answer - Welcome to the club...

a history, untold
a mystery to unfold
an eternal search
a perpetual urge
too ethereal to achieve
too surreal to believe
a desire, remaining unfulfilled
an epic, still being quilled
a moment stilled
in the veins, it instilled
O my beloved!
you're a dream too grand to be realised
a scheme, too ambitious to be materialised....

Question-How do you write?
Answer- I write,
What I have seen
What I have been
What I feel
What I deal
What I realize
What I visualize
What I love
What I observe
What I live
to live....

the preface
of your success
is learning to face
your failure with grace,
and then identifying
your shortcomings to address,
and then prepare yourself
to give your best....

the remembrance

soothing like

vernal winds

coming from afar

in a sultry afternoon

of a no monsoon june...

followed by

an intoxicating petrichor

to disclose

that the awaited rain

is at the gate....

the solace of effortless

sinking into the serenity

of the loving embrace

is about to commence

by the divinity...

this year
some affirmations to amend
some paths to bend
some ties to mend
some relations to tend

this year
some pictures to crop
some attachments to drop
some trends to stop
some corners to mop

this year
some memories to delete
some acts to repeat
some fears to beat
some targets to meet

this year
some issues to deal
some wounds to heal
some moments to steal
some emotions to feel

when comes
the fluence in silence
and
solitude in crowd
you are ready for poetry....

the way
towards the abode in your heart
not always  
a clear...well lit
smooth...fast
decorated...direct
quick highway,

at times it's a
dark...dusty
rough...curvy
broken...lonely
long subway,

you've fortified your all
behind the tall
hard walls

and the main gate is out of bound
windows, hard to be found
i wander around

too hopeful to return
at the secret entrance i wait for my turn
someday you will show the concern

It's ok to cry for no reason

It's ok to smile every while

It's ok to run behind butterfly

It's ok to dream a fairy tale life


It's ok to scream

It's ok to have icecream

It's ok to fight

It's ok to unite


It's ok to dance like an ape

It's ok to have chocolate

It's ok to croon

It's ok to play with balloon


It's ok to be ok with what you have

It's ok when you are not ok

O dear child within me!

It's ok to come alive and take over...

Spreading bliss
Watching the glittery night
Feeling light
Inhaling the fresh air

With our loved ones
Listening the rythmic music of the hearts
Heading towards a colourful
Serene clean world

In silence....
Under the twinkling starlight
In a moonless night
Having a visual treat...

This diwali, burn the evils,
Let's bring the change!
This diwali, burst the ego,
Let's be the change!!

The loneliness,
Seldom situational
Often occasional
Fairly frequent
Indeed inherent
Untimely unjust
Mostly must
..............in thinkers....dreamers.... writers...
And in
LOVERS

At times
I thought of texting you
"good morning",
then I remembered that
you're on a trip
where I'm extra baggage,
and
that's perfectly ok...
