In the life of rain

Seen a beautiful heart in it
Raised my hand to hold

A refreshing splash

Harmony
Vanita vats Oct 2024
My house has become
A guest house for many
Creatures of nature

Two cats come one by one
One cat some time becomes
owner of the house
By sitting just on the foot of door

Other cat is fond of sitting
On the seat of motor bike
Sits in a posture proudly
As if it will drive to take a free ride

Branches of neem tree at the back yard of house is
Favourite roosting place

Flying buddy plans for the day and fly away
Few birds take bath to beat
the heat of sun rays
They sing they dance and fly away

A female monkey in a group
With her kids come and play
rigorously
They hang and jump
Show their all juggles
They are very noisy and get aggressive
Which keeps us on alert
No gate should left open by mistake

There is a stray dog
Called by name Sota
Takes a stroll on main gate
Sometimes sleep
Sometimes rest
But never let any body enter
in the house
During rain and winter nights
He is given shelter for life

Few butterflies and insects are seen taking nectar from
flowers of potted plants

Our house has become a symbol for
Live in harmony with animals
Happy world animal day

Water Bottle
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Entered in class room
With some hard expressions
So much work piled up

Before I could start
A child brought her water bottle

Mam, take some water
This I learnt in your workshop

Hard expressions melted in soft smile

Welcome
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Sitting under a Jamun tree
Having a bundle of paper
To check and recheck

Birds sound melodious
Fresh cool air was comfortable

I was distracted by
A squirrel and a bird
Playing together

Squirrel climbed up the tree
She brought few grains free
Put on a green platter

Bird came flattering
to eat   grains eagerly
both were playing leisurely

Left me thinking
Do they welcome as
we do with our family and friends

Time
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Time is passing steadily
From all odds and even

It flows effortlessly
Through our noises

It never cries with us
It never reflects pain in it

It never stops to make merry
It never forgets to move ahead

It flows like air through stomata

Roosting
Vanita vats Oct 2024
On every sunset
It send it's sunrays to invite
those flying creatures
for rest

Spread the colourful bright vibrations for their welcome
Cools down the atmosphere
to give them comfort

Birds come with all celebrations
They sing their songs
They Sit on the branches of trees and start roosting

I wonder
Do they plan for next day?
                   Or
They discuss the issues of the day
Sit together to solve before
they sleep

So that next morning
When they wake up
It should be a new and fresh
Start of the day

Talking to weeping willow
Through her poems at night
Enjoyed and appreciated

Made moon her pillow
Covered herself with star
Studded night blanket

Spreading pure and innocent sparkles

enjoying her beauty
In my dream land
On same plateform

A new castle
Vanita vats Oct 2024
A living fossil
Outlined dinosaurs


A bridge between
Dinosaurs age and
modern age is cracking

It is cracking silently
No sound is heard

Once was so glorious
God called himself
Turtle God

The God of turtle
is  also sitting quiet

Is waiting for some miracle
to happen?

Is playing with His material
creations?
                   Or
Wish the tides of time to wash away His made castle

Wish the tides to clean the
World of sea shore
before He could start creating

        A NEW CASTLE

Last wish
Vanita vats Sep 2024
She met me in the market
Very busy hot spot

I approached her in a good note
She gave me a faint smile

I asked her
"What is Gopal doing? "
My old student

He met with road accident
Two years back

His spine got injured
He was on bed

She left no stone unturned
She ran for many hospitals

She offered many prayers
She asked for blessings

Only recognised me
Seldom opened eyes to me

He screamed and showed
Signs of pain

One day
Lying beside him
Gave him hug and called
By his love names

I was in the state of
Hypnagogia
Neither slept nor fully awake

I felt he was standing
in front of me
With white bright aura

He told me
"Mummy let me go
I am in too much pain
You are passing through
unending strain

Let me go
Free me from your strong bonds
This body cannot hold
energy of my soul"

He was not responding my calls
He was not responding to
medicines

That day
Before l left hospital room

I whispered in his ear
"I will fulfill your last wish

You are free from my bonds
You are free from my calls

I am ready to free you from all my bonds"

Next morning
He left for his abode

When you are in pain

They are special friends

Surrender
Vanita vats Sep 2024
When I was a young mother

Always think
" I will write future of my children "

As children grew old
All those resolutions fell free

Now
They are grown up

I pray to God
"Hold my children's hand
Keep them on right track
Do what you think is best
I surrender myself"

PLAN -B
Vanita vats Sep 2024
"There is plan B to activate
for my final journey"

Grand father told us
He went to hospital for final
Check up

He told doctor to give him form for ***** donation

Doctor said
"There is no use of your old
and torn organs
They will not work for any

Now you will take my body
To my birth place Jind

Where I spent my golden days
In a large joint family
Till age ten not aware
Who was my real mother

Where I stole butter
Hidden from my eyes

I kept alive fire at fire place
To produce hukka to my father in winter days

I came running to get
Rope and tools
When asked by father in fields

My duty was to carry bunddle of grass on head
To feed our hungry cows

I was never given hard work
As my rest six brothers were stout

Where we celebrated
all fervor together

Where my mother took her last breath
I want to sleep in her lap
on my mother land

Multiple universes
Vanita vats Sep 2024
I live in a universe of my kind
Which is ruled by me
Ruled for me

No one can enter without
my permission

Monk like vibrations create
A new world of imagination

Make the place well cordinated
With the other thoughts in harmony

Some evil thoughts
de-vibrate ,collide, derail
the smooth functioning of
the brain

A constant war between these two

Every one's brain is it's own
Kind of universe

Give strength to the concept of multiple universes

Glittering packets
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Continous knock
On the door of head

To open the door
By unknown thoughts

I saw through the window of my wisdom
They were thoughts of
Illusion/delusion/confusion

I refused to open the door
They lured in their way
They offered me free gifts
With each glittering packet
Of false pleasures

Greed of free offers
Forced me to open
They all entered haistly and
Abducted me to
A unknown planet

Chandelier
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Sitting on the roof
Just in silence

Made a chandelier
With both my hands

It made me raise from land
I was spell bound with
Beauty spread in and out

It is fixed for special cause

For celestial navigation
To show path to
Lost travellers and sailors

Who lost their way
In this crowdy and noisy place

Caressed kiss
Vanita vats Sep 2024
I was lying on  the bed
"What happened mom"
Asked son

"Not feeling well "replied

He sat beside me
Held my hand
Started pressing my accupressure points

He knew it would comfort me

I closed my eyes
I was melted with few more
sad emotions
Which rolled down as tears
from the corners of eyes

He wiped them softly
And whispered
"Just relax
I am sitting here"

He started giving gentle strokes on my head
Gave a caressed kiss silently

I went to sleep

Next morning
I was fresh and light

I smiled
And sent a blessing
In  thee universe for him

Blackhole

When a massive super star
Get entangled with

Shredded with

Before being consumed

Same what happens
In the life cycle of a

Close your eyes
Feel the love in air

Inhale the air

Smell the fragrance of rose

Taste the spices in nature

Give ear to hear
The sounds hanging in atmosphere

Smile to sun
Let  the rays enter in your skin

Mother for one day
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Two days were left
For my marriage
Every one was busy

Relatives were talking
They were joking

Some were cooking
Ready for feeding

Dustbin was full
I took the bin
Went to clear the tin

Suddenly I stopped
One life was breathing
On the heap of dumping

Too weak to walk
In state of gasping

I went back running
Brought a basket of canning
With a cotton clothing

To give cushion
To a young puppy

My relatives disagreed  for keeping
If it died
It might bring misfortune
"Throw it out
From where you brought"

My mother said nothing
I fed the life drop by drop
With a dropper

Till evening to our surprise
It came out from basket
It was moving

At night
It went to its bamboo house
We covered it with soft piece of cotton dhoti
To keep it warm
In that winter night

I checked twice
During that night
It was sleeping right

At early morning
I tried to take it out
But it was motion less
And breathing less

Every one told
To dump the body in dumping place

But how could I?
I was mother for one day

We buried not in hurried
In the soil
With few prayers
To make soul free
To rest in peace
Sep 2024 · 85
RIPPLES
Vanita vats Sep 2024
When you sit alone
In the solitude
To find the oysters
To get pearls of thoughts
From ocean of mind
To write an art

Every single pin drop
Creates ripples of disturbances
To dis create the fine art
Sep 2024 · 91
Mirage
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Strive for success
Success is refraction

Refraction is mirage
Mirage in desert
Desert of desires

Run for desires
Desires after desires

No rest from desires
No water for ******
In mirage of desires

Nothing for rest
Rest for body
Peace in mind
Love for soul
In the world of desires

Sit in the solace
Of your soul
To free from mirage
Mirage of desires

Threads of love
Vanita vats Sep 2024
When your eyes are wet
When your heart is moist

When mirror of your  soul is cleaned by the vapours of forgiveness

you can see clearly
The reflections of past and
emotions of present

Then
With the threads of love
With the threads of pain

You can pull those reflections and emotions

On the sheet of mind
In the form of poetry
