Don't climb a Moringa tree
to see your beautiful neighbour

If it's fragile branches break

You will fall into your
neighbours house
with no bones intact!

Don't trust your gut!
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2023
Please mend our broken spirits and make our sufferings serene.

The most precious thing in my life;

Grandies metal trunk

A priceless antique!

Mother,

You are the only

person irreplaceable

in life.
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
Even an erudite poem
cannot describe her fully.
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
You might be multilingual

Yet, you always grin

in your mother tongue!
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
I can't get stuck with you here

I am moving on

I have to explore many dimensions

and galaxies.
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
Your poem is not
an eulogy on me,
as promised by you.

It's  down right muckraking.

Betrayal is a grave sin, don't
you know?

I forgive.

But your karma won't.
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2020
Body dies only once

Heart touching musical score.
Entranced audience in tears.
God crying in their souls.

I asked him the secret behind his 24x7 musk body odour.

He said smilingly, I am "Elan Musk",

and added, "its original".

I buried my face in his wide chest and inhaled his amorous body Odour.

I felt Adrenaline racing coursing through my veins without control.

Black slate is the first "Tab"
my father gave me. I could write any

It contained all the ingredients
that kept everyone healthy.

After she left, all the boxes in the kitchen became empty.

Now ready to eat food is stacked inside the recycle box- what a pity!

Just heat and eat is the new mantra.

Without her special spices my health has gone to pieces.

My body harbours worms and germs in abundance.

Grandma's kitchen now looks like a fast food joint.

I wonder when will I get another
opportunity to eat Grandma's
food.

When will I regain my earlier health and energy.

Not in this life, of course!

Old and rusty
Creaky & squeaky
A source of pride & embarassment!

She runs miles after mile
tirelessly, day after day
She goes where none dare to.
She does not age!

She does not spit poison
into the air unlike her more glamorous cousins viz Cars, Trains, Planes,  do.

If any one can save humanity
from a boiling earth, it's our humble bicycle. I bet, it's our humble bicycle

She will be our saviour
She will be our saviour...
I still bet.

We have kept her out for a long time. We have done a terrible mistake.

Let us bring her out and remove the dust that has gathered on her body. Let us make her shine again. Let us ride her on the roads.

Time is running out for us, earth is heating.. heating too quickly because we did unkind things to her.

We will be obliterated sooner than we think we would.

Bring back our humble bicycle
bring her back soon, time is running out. I want to see whole of humanity riding her on the roads.

The fate of humanity hinges on this humble machine.

My mind and body create the best chemistry when I think of you.

I want to return to my native land

My native land is a barren land, but full of love and compassion.

I am living like a ghost in the so called land of paradise. I dared death to come here. But my dangerous adventure was a foolish act.

I  no longer feel wanted here.

I want to return to my native land
and rejoin my devastated family.

You feel belonged to humanity only in your native land.

Saintly Plants

I whisper to my saintly plants, they have  always listened to my loads of woes without getting irritated a bit.

I  water my saintly plants whenever I feel they need it,   they have never taken  more than what their bodies demand.

I live amidst my saintly plants, they never shown any resentment to my ghostly presence.

I pluck fruits and beautiful flowers that adorn their  branches as if I owe them as a matter of right;
They  have never stopped producing them, in protest.

I trust the silence of my saintly plants more than the preachings of any human saint.

Deforestation, pollution, urbanization ..... human war against nature

Famine, floods, earth quakes ....
Nature's war against Humans.
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2020
A cheek is nature

Caressing the cheek

and saying nice things

is good nature

But slapping the cheek

in anger is  un-nature.
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2020
Intellect within the mind is nature
If it is bad, it's deviant
if it is upright, it's culture

The true beauty of poetry lies not in the words alone,
but in the inspiration that nature has sown.

Wind will pick up any odour and dump it on you without discriminating.

Pushing past our limits.
Ignoring past warnings.
Nature conquers all.
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2024
The wind is blowing hard today.
The straggling clouds have come together to cover the sky, leaving an imposing gloom in their wake. Fear shakes people's lives. They are unaware that nature simply pours—it doesn't wail.
Eshwara Prasad Aug 2020
Humans are helpless
When nature becomes
restless!

Why are you searching for positivity;
Electrons and Electronics have made

Your presence or absence
make no difference to me
because I am deaf in the eyes
