Ash
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Ash
I found ash
To rub on my skin
To hide all my beauty skills
No other mask needed
to safe myself
No tension of world's speculations
Long dead locks touching
earth
To make these a blanket to
sleep or make a head lock

Reached on a tough rock high mountain with all my efforts
Alone and alone only my own

Live in a small mouthed cave
To find my share of piece of peace
Dead ash is rubbed on future ash
No matter looked ugly or bad

Love Life
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Spending time with your love make you feel as swinging on crecent moon

You give her ride on the swing of hanging moon
You enjoy each movement of
to and fro

From there refracting the
spectrum of colourful dreams from the prism of moon

Melting away all concerns
Diffuses all time bubbles

Life of love time is as short as water bubbles
But memories are as long as
moon light rays

Shape

Leaving behind the residue
of lost
To cool down the burnt ashes

Returned to check
Is some warmth is left
In hope if left
Then  collect the residue left
To give again shape

Standing under stars and grey sky

To take love and warmth for
earth
Keeps on spreading for every one on your way

Chitragupta
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I heard from
Grandpa in his stories
Telling but not preaching
his teachings through
a new weaving

Told me one day
There is one gaurd
Invisible and sitting
On your shoulder

Taking pictures of your
Every act good or bad
Keep it as evidence

For you can't deny
When you will be given
Judgement for your all deeds

So remember
You are watched
Every single minute
Chitragupta is a photographer
Who make reports of our deeds
with pictures

Draupdi
Vanita vats Oct 2024
You are played on chess
You are placed on chess

They laughed on your chastity
They played with your beauty

You are questioned for your purity
You are neglected for your curiousity

You called for protection
You asked for judgement
You called them to show their bravery
You questioned for their promises

No one stood to fight for you
No one took sword to cut
those brutal heads
To mute those shameless laughs

"Nothing is changed
Thousands years passed
Still I am standing there
With those ***** hands
Ripping my cloth
To shatter my honour
In the assembly of most honoured"

Yes man
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Yes man
Is an endangered man
Will go very far with you
Become a boss one day

Can never become a mentor
Will not be admired
Used by controller

Will not inspire
Put every one in hook and corner whenever required

Leaders are true and genuine
Raised from tough life and experience

Goodness
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I am underestimated
for my goodness
I am exploited for my
mildness
I am ignored for my softness
I am fool in the world of so called practical wise people

The moment I take turn back to goodness
It takes me in the world of
stranger deserted land

Unable to recall
Who am I?

Get disconnected to my soul
which is more fearful than above

I am good in this land
may be fool
may be impractical
may be left behind in the eyes of wise
But feel most blessed
I see my soul
Smiling at me
Get inspiration from Ben John's
Life's Learning which I found true to me

"O, my dear
Come in shadow
I will show my splendor love"

Not in fresh sun rays?

So don't urge me
to show your love in shadow and dark

Let me throw the seven colours
of sun rays
In white and black of your life ways

Answer to Apology
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Apology is a good gesture
Of yours to mend the bond

Broken bonds always leave
behind the roots
Possibility to arise the love from shaken life

Do this before it get dry
It will soften the belt
Warmth of your love
melt the frozen lake

Nobel Peace Prize
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Rain of destruction
Rain of unending cries and pain
Rain of flesh and blood
Radio active clouds demonstrating explosive
power of race

Destructive missiles
gave cruel burns
Never cured

Every body cried for
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
atomic chain reactions
for pools of corpses made

Nihon Hidonkyo
Japanese Organization
Chaired by
Tomoyuki Mimaki
Initiated grass root movement for survivors

Cheered and cried
On receiving
Nobel Peace Prize
"Is it really true"
"Unbelievable"

Hibakusha are
Many survivors of nuclear bomb
Dedicated their lives to
aware the world for the nuclear free world

It will force the world
Not to use
Nuclear weapons

Beware of fraud call
Vanita vats Oct 2024

Disconnected the call

My son was sleeping peacefully in my sight

They didn't call me again

Pain
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Loved you deep as sea
Found myself in missing sky

Found you in core of my heart
But was missing love art

You were from my soul
But I was not your mate soul

To see pain in your eyes
to get free from my love

As you fumbled in saying
It was one sided love of mine

I let you go
Gave you way silently

To find a place
Which I never wanted

Don't know whether you
found your face
But I am still in pain

Eclipse
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Passing through a tough test

Every calm and serenity is

Green grass of tranquility

Full moon of peace is under

Still a ray of hope thru
Baily's drop of solar's eclipse

Hunger

Coming back with ferocious force

A Thing of beauty
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Keep the memories of your love
in treasury of  your mind
No matter the love you lost
not found here

Once it was true as true as your breath
Not try to throw your love
Once you lived in present

Don't try to forget those love moments you lived in your heart

Let your new life enter in you
Hold its hand with new tune
of your music

Those memories and pain
will tell
you lived your life in full as full moon night

"A thing of beauty is joy for ever"
So keep your love memories alive

Beast
Vanita vats Oct 2024
A unicorn of mind
Never get satisfied

Like beast in mystic stories
Trying to find a ******
who is waiting for her incarnation

Creates a fantastic imagery
of power and wealth
Is not as fantastic as sounds

Is not revered by Budha
an ancient Indian symbol
of monasticism

Controlled it when sprouting out of Bodhi tree

Which was not a natural beast
It was just  arduous earthly
desire

Immortal
Vanita vats Oct 2024
A leafless tree
Standing in the nook of street
Straight and alone
No joy no thrill

A bird from unknown land
gathered green leaves and threads
Weaved a nest of dreams
On the hard bones

Time passed with the wings of song bird
Nest was full of trilling and chirping sounds

Soft peeping sounds
made unwavering bond
wandering around all the time

All those sounds travelled
in fine lines of tree

Touch of little feathery crowns on the browns
Shaken the dying spirit
to get alive

Nights of chilled winter
ahead
Ready to swallow soft little
chicks

Fading roots of bony tree
pull all it's energy
To **** the nectar from earth
Sent with the force of love
to all it's dying branches

Seen a miracle through the
sprouting buds of leaves
here and there

Innocent and pure vibrations roused the life
from deep sleep

To give them a safe and joyful place to live in

This was the immortal love
between the two

Interest
Vanita vats Oct 2024
My daughter has her own interest
She doesn't find threads to
get connected on HP

These days inclined to act and drama in youth fest
of the year

Our interest doesn't match much
She is more idealistic
I am blended with practical
aspect of life

May be due to the difference
of life spent
May be due to values inherited in soul

Its fine
She has her  own wings  and intuition
to fly in right direction

Prays to God lead her through His light and love

Cease Fire
Vanita vats Oct 2024
The conflicts in ukrain and west Asia is matter of deep concern

High tension waves in middle East and Israel
Sending fire in bones

North Korea is threatening
to start nuclear war

Lives are at stake to loose life
It is a big challenge for all

We are sitting on Helium bomb
Once burst will gallop all lives

If they can initiate the fire
We can pray to cease fire

We may belong to different continents
We may have different tone

We may follow different religions
We may have different opinions

We should go for right cause
Come join together
to pray for peace
for all lives of our mother nature

Time

Musk and Steve are celebrated for their vision and power in high tech life

They reached at the maximum height any can reach

They have a darker side
To create high pressure
at their work place

Their employees have luxury cars to drive
Have lavish house to live in

But what they don't have
time
To celebrate moments
Of family life

They struggle day and night for relentless drive

Long dead locks
Vanita vats Oct 2024
From dark road side of mountains
Passing through the rocks scattered with difficulty

It was eerie and scary night
Winter fog making it haunted

Silent mind and hammering
heart
Shivering more inside out

Taking fast steps to destination
A drunken man made the situation worsen

I picked a road side stick to use if needs
Somehow I reached the known house
Met a boy sitting outside
Asked
"How is this golden boy"

He smiled dimly
Picked up car keys and slipped in the valley

I entered the dark dizzy room
Filled with smoky faces wearing long black suity

They were talking in unknown language

In them a known face was seen
I made the way to reach
He disappeared like vapours

A woman with long dead locks  painted  in ashes
showed me way to a cave

Sweat was dripping
from my face
All was very fearful to bear
My heart was pounding

I awoke in one heart beat
Took a sigh of relief
Thank God
It was just a dream

Died at the age of 117

"Keep things and plan in order

Spend some time in meditation

Love plants and creatures

Never stay long in
Worries and regrets

Keep searching positive note
through positive people"

Hanging roots of love tree
are eager to touch the land of heart

To grow in a huge pure love tree
Ready to take nourish of care and touch

To send the signals to buzzing critters to exchange
the pollen grains of caress

But we shorten the roots of our love tree
To customize in our own way

Which makes love tree

I was fascinated by
the divinity every where
In His each creation

Found the best place
To germinate divinity

Best way
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Made my husband to sit with me
To listen the poems written by me

After each poem
I asked "How is it"
He kept on saying "good"

After few poems
Before I could read next
He left the place by saying

"No poetry can be better
than this"

That made me laugh for few seconds till joy tears come

As I knew
That was the best way to go away for him and
The  best way for me to vent out the emotions inside me

Fallen tree
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Miss a beautiful tree
Was standing on the round about of beautiful city

When I passed through
way to my school
Its sight mesmerise me

Tall straight hung with
bunches of pink flowery
Blossom and spread it's
spell bound melody

Gave glimpses of its divinity
from very far on the road

Every ascending move for
glorifies its mastery

Nascent sunrays falling
intensify its brightness
Seems to give message of love and purity

After one vacation
It was not traced by eyes

Tree was missing from its place
Only left a deserted raised plateform of bricks and clay

I wish
May see one day
Raised a reverent sapling
From the roots left  behind by the Fallen Tree
