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

Power of Vote
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I know a family
Who use right to vote
Very religiously

Posted very far from home
Cover almost thousand Km
to cast their vote

Importance of  vote is valued by heart
They know each vote
counts a lot

They know the gravity
of single vote in large
democratic country

They celebrate like  a festival

Salute to those people
Who use the power of vote

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
Vanita vats Oct 2024
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

Love plants and creatures

Never stay long in
Worries and regrets

Keep searching positive note
through positive people"

Bonsai Plant
Vanita vats Oct 2024
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

Let blossom the flowers
Let the scent go around

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

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

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

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

It never stops to make merry

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

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

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

A friendship
Based on shared advantage
Don't take them for granted

Better friendship is

Who live in your kingdom

More you give
More you will be appreciated

Best friendship shares
Mutul respect
Which need not to be perfect

They hear you
When you are silent

They read you
When you are in pain

They are special friends
Keeps you on high trends

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
