The Other
"Panyacha barka tambya dya, Kaku",
From outside, a boy cried
For his father had toiled in field
And his throat completely dried.
Kaku shouted at him
"It's Chhota, not Barka" with her eyes-wide.
"Run away from here,
Stupid guy from countryside!"
"Panyacha Chhota tyamba dya!"
Then he preferred to say;
"It's Lota, not Tambya, Duffer!" Chachi harshly said.
From there too he wended his way.
He didn't have any courage
To ask anyone for water for his father
Whom he should reach out?
He was considered to be the other.
An Aunt stood in the corner
And was watching this drama all along
She offered him a glass of water
Since then the boy started singing her song.

The Flowers
"How happy and pretty
You look!"
I said to some flowers
And shook.
"Happiest moment in life",
Said the flowers
"When in search of nectar
The bee hovers."
I said, "It's very interested
and swollen,
Has selfish purpose and
Carries pollen."
"You pluck, hand over us
When you meet,
***** down us on floor.
We lie at feet."
"Our friends, our chums
Butterfly and bee!"
Bluntly said the flowers
And rejected me.

Save Me
I quench thy thirst
And rear thee,
Thou consume and
Just eat at me.
Thou deaden a lot.
I expect fee,
Not thee to yield,
Come to knee
Solely I am thine,
I love thee
When thou care for
And save me.
When devastated
I will be, See!
Thou will also, Dear,
No longer be.

The Conquerer
Plunged the sword
Into my heart,
And
"Conquered the world" he said,
"I left no part."

The Condition
I liked when I partly heard
They had the vacancy
Reserved especially for a girl.
They didn't want very educated
But the beautiful one.
And my head was in a whirl.

The Beauty
She was the artistry
Of the artisan
That they spent their
Hours to see
They lost themselves
Or the reason
After watching - they
Spoke with me
She was the beauty
Curing the pain
That they adored and
Could not part.
I was suggested by
One of the men
I should show her my
Broken heart.
With my heart she had
Nothing to do
She remained mute and
Unfeeling too
I realised I could not
Fulfil my goal
For she was the idol
Without soul.

So Called Friends
So called friends
are
frank
As the feelingless words
They always use
and
prank.
Friendship with me
They
end
As mine are emotive words
And in them
I cannot
blend.

On Love
I hate you as much you're loved
Because you've saddened a lot
Now I don't want this melancholy
To settle down upon my spirit
But still I'm unable to get you off

On Birthday
Wake up, my shining pearl!
The moon has bidden adieu.
You are such a lovely girl,
The god can't help loving you.
Wake up, my little sparrow!
The day is fresh and new.
Take yourself out of sorrow.
Everyone is waiting for you.
Hello, the chaos will ensue,
Dear, if you avoid them all.
They are dying to see you
Since the previous nightfall.

Nightmare
I was looking for you I said,
But I'd found you nowhere.
You were silent and dead
They said in my nightmare.
They left me broken down
To walk with my feet sore.
I couldn't and tumbled down
When you were no more.
Life without you was bare,
And very agonising - I knew.
If you leave me alone here,
See I can't live without you.

Memories
They're footsteps in a way
Left behind on a sea shore
By the girl who walks away.
The footsteps slowly fade
With some distance and
With her every step ahead.
They're no longer the same.
For the ageless waves are
Constantly wiping off them.

Let Us Not Wait
Minutes tick, moments slip
And the days pass by.
Let us not wait. Let us not say
"Why should firstly I?"
You, do not hold the grudges,
Always let them go.
There are good people around.
Yet, you never know.
Life is too short to have room for Reticence and anger.
Speak with the loved ones now,
For they'd be no longer.
Lest you lose them for good
To them, you, walk.
God forbid you regret later and
Say, "I wish I could talk."

I Was Looking For Me
I was looking for me.
I trudged in my sphere
And unknown boundaries crossed.
I peeped into your heart to see.
I didn't find myself there.
I was lost.

In the Street
As I walk alone
in the street
I see the people
and greet.
No matter if
They are lovely
Or cheat.
I love them for
Who knows
whether or not
We'd again meet?

In the House
Away from them
I always walk.
Wherever I go,
To me they stalk.
A shelter from them
Now I seek.
Everyday I'm violated,
And getting weak.
I don't find
Any place of stillness;
Away from them,
From getting into mess.
I don't want to be
Here any longer.
Please, stick me out.
For I'm stuck
In the house called
The body with
Love, lust and anger.

I'm Wrong
I'm wrong, because
I care for none
but you.
I'm wrong, because
I talk to none
but you.
I'm wrong, because
I want none
but you.
I'm wrong, because
I befriend none
but you.
I'm wrong, because
I trust none
but you.
I'm wrong, because
I love none
but you.
I'm wrong
I'm wrong?

Facade of Love
She loved Butterfly
So much
And
Its songs she used to sing,
So, I placed one
On her hand.
She screamed
And
Threw it away.
For it was without wings.

But I Won't Tell You
Though I don't seem to care
I have many things to share
But I won't tell you
Though I don't seem to give in
I long when you're not seen
But I won't tell you
Though I don't appear at night
I miss you out of your sight
But I won't tell you
Though I don't have you here
I yearn and want to be near
But I won't tell you
Though I don't seem to do
I love madly and think of you
But I won't tell you

A Lad
Since they spoke
And made me do,
I saw they cut a joke,
And I did too.
Why they hit me then
I didn't know.
I learned by myself
And did grow.
Then I saw them and
How they spoke;
I laughed at them when
They cut the joke.
