I am a flower
That doesn't need
Someone to be it's
Guide
Someone to show him the
Way
Someone to care like
Eager ghosts
Oh all in this world
Are but hosts
As she let's her virginity be lost
By the kiss
Of the bees
She turns into frost
She nurtures a baby
Provides her food
And colour
To enchant this world
I look and look
And get lost
Oh sweet flower
You are so
Interesting!
Beauty unspoken of
Numerous flowers
Die daily
In forests of ignorance
Their glory lost
Let's find them!
#flower #beauty
Oh dear,what are called thoughts here?
Oh dear,what is called pain either?
Oh you all say day and night
Love and only love
Oh dear,who is called love?
Is it only painful
Is it only the eyes' tears?Is it only the sigh of sorrow?
Oh then people do it
In search of such pleasure
Such a painful venture?
In my eyes all are beautiful
All are novel all are clear and pure
The blue sky,the prosperous green jungles
The vast moonlight,the tender flowers
All are but
Like me,no?
Only do they laugh
Only do they sing
Laughing and playing
They want to die
Neither do they no sorrow
Nor burst of tears
They don't know
The pains of pursuit so
Oh the flower laughs
And laughing it falls
Laughing the moonlight
Does get lost
Oh in the sea if light
Laughing the sky's stars
Leave why?
Oh dear,who is happy like me?
Oh dear oh come near me
Oh singing the songs of a happy heart
I will console your soul and heart!
Everyday if you
Cry and cry
Not even for a day
Do you laugh
Oh oh no
Let us forget all this sorrow
And sing together
To our heart's glory
For a day!
Oh my time fades away
In the evening
Tuning myself
To your tunes!
Oh a string of the ektara(a stringed musical instrument)
Cannot bear!
The melody
Of this song!
With you
Again and again
I have accepted
My defeat
In this playful game!
Oh tuning myself to your tunes
Oh this string of mine
Is tuned to a note so near
Oh that flute but plays far
Oh on the shores
Of the glorious acts
Of this melodious song
In reaching there to be lost
In you
Can everyone succeed?
Oh in the palace
Of the heart of hearts
Of this world
To weave a mesh
Of soulful raga-raginis(tunes)
Oh tuning myself to your tunes
Happily I do get lost
Oh my time fades away
In the glories
Of this evening!
My freedom will be in this light
In this light!
Freedom in these strands of grass
In this tiny particles of dust
Oh in this enchanting play
Of the mind and the body
I lose myself!
In the notes of this
Melody
And its Radiant songs
My freedom floats above
Oh my freedom
You are only in
The midst of the
Minds of everyone
In the difficult tasks
Where I do leave
All my sorrows
And worries of danger
Far behind
Oh does burn
The sacred sacrificial
Yajna fire
Rich with the
Eagerness of self sacrifice
In the heavenly abode
Of the one
Who holds this world!
O let me sacrifice this life
In the quest
Of this golden freedom
My freedom will be
In this light!
Fairs are
Layers of surprises
The cacophony of noises
The beauty of the various
Human creations
On display
Awaiting their
Customers
O Cashmere silks
Flowing like cream
The twelve yard long
Sari occupying
The seat of glory
Among all its mates
Glowing with its zardozi
And glimmering
Bridal wear
Handsome kurtas
And glorious turbans
Waiting to adorn
Men no less
Than their show
Shawls and scarfs
Beautiful raiments
Not only
Serve the human insecurity
But go well beyond
They glorify one's
Personality indeed
Maybe soon
Gender neutral garments
Would adorn these shelves
The world is moving
Pay heed
But now
This fair is making me romantic
Thoughts of daydreaming
Seeing so much
Wanting to get all of them
O I grow more infant
But I also see
In secret delight
Young lovers
Exchanging glances
This fair unites them
At least from
The bottom of their hearts!
I have to move on
O I see
Mighty rides
Brimming with people
The Titanic ride
Shouldn't meet
Another golden tragedy
Happy faces
And cheerful hearts
Do greet me
O my stomach is rumbling
Food is something
Without which
Our life gets
Tumbling
O jalebis
Roundels of joy
Dripping with ghee
And heavenly
Sugar syrup
These colorful goodies
I can't resist or stop
O boy
Pakodas being strained out
From hot simmering oil
Looks delicious
O what joy
Candyfloss
And sweets varied
Rich with magenta
Green and hues
Rapid
Greet me like
Those air hostesses
I crushed on
As a child
They do take me
On a flight of imagination
On gulping all of
Them down
One by one
My sweet tooth
Can't resist
O not
I see handsome hunks
Engaged in eager fight
Showing their power
And masculine might
Do they really have
Any hatred
Oh no
They are just friends
And they enjoy
Thus merry sport
O the dreaming young boy
Not bold but coy
Watches in wonder
He could not get those
Wondrous sweets
O wait
The fair had something for him
He could get
Those do paisa candies
At least!
He is enjoying with his pals
The fair
Is the blossoming ground
Of his long lasting
Friendship
But I am reminded
As I see dancing maidens
In sheer joy
That men but do come and go
But this saga of fairs has been going on
Since time immemorial
Only uniting the hearts
Of those
Who come here
To deal and feel
Some moments of joy
In this world
So mundane and real
'Mundane' at times!
Gone to a fair
Share your experience
For sure!
Kiss
O what are you!
You make me blush
When you come
Into my life
Carrying Kamadeva(Cupid)
On your sugar coated
Fragrant vibrant hues
And blissful feeling
Of your aura
But thou art the one
In whose wait
I spend sleepless nights
When you happen
To near your ecstatic happening
You make me hot
With not only love's
Gentle warmth
But with something
Beyond
O what I feel
Set hot with temptation
Rich hot blood
Flowing through my veins
Rich with desire
You transform
Mundane days
To days spent
On cloud nine
You ratify the strength
Of human bond
The feeling of belonging
O you make me imagine
The pleasure
Of Rati
The consort
Of Kama
When her husband
Was to accompany her
O kiss you are the cause
Of happiness of beings
Even not blessed with
Beauty externally
O you take me away from this world
To only leave me with
Some great moments
And their memories
You are the beautiful
Expression
Of the most soothing
Cause of living for many
O kiss you are
The divine
Messenger of love
And heavenly goodness!
Kisses are looked down upon
By conservative minds
And because
They carry diseases
Except for aggravating
The lone disease of love
But a clean kiss
Can indeed leave one
Healthy and happy
In his/her life!
Wedding of words with thoughts
The lovely, timid bride
Born as thought
Comes bedecked
With the choicest of jewels
Her companions
Dancing like nymphs
Of heaven's grace
Is enchanting
The companions of the groom
Handsome
Born that way
Are moved by this
Graceful swaying
And movement
Of unseen glories
Oh so are the bridesmaids
After all,they are also
Beautiful
Just like the bride
The shehnai of imagination blows
Virtues like determination
Take on the role
Of the priest
Or pastor as you say
But this groom's a bit naughty:-) :-)
His eager eyes
(Eager for beauty,
Seeking something
Just good enough
To express
For so long!)
Flutter to the mates
Of the thought bride
Oh he is also moved
Would he elope
Would he find his
Life's expression
In someone else
Other than this thought?
After all he is known
For his mischiefs
From long ago
(He could not find
A suitable one
For himself
Given me so much pain!)
Today as I jump
In ecstasy
Of this occasion
So holy
I face this danger
I command the priest of determination
To quickly
Complete the rituals
So that I get to see a lovely couple
Bless them for
Fulfilling my heart's desire
For bringing my
Youthful mind
To a standstill
To pen my thoughts
Satisfactorily
For at least a moment!
Such is the toil
Of the marriages elaborate
Made in a holy
Sterilized wedding hall
Of my brain
And you know
How difficult it is
To maintain
A purity
A sterility
Be it of body,places
Or flickering thoughts!!
An ode to the couple of pen and words
Thoughts and expressions
And other guests
In such holy unions!
