Red lights
Your love filled gaze through
The window of car
Still following me

At your work place
At your home
Keep yourself ready
For relay race

Baton is given
Start your mission

Not to bother
Previous is slower

Not to worry
Who will be winner
Become a flight responder

Life is a relay race
Put all your efforts
At your best pace

Many races of life have been won
Many races of life have been lost
By the quality of baton to  post

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

Told me
"These days I don't get
Love and likes"
I asked
"Do you send love and likes?

You will get if you will click
on love and likes for them"

Daughters are divine energies
Don't disturb
They are at work
24×7

Yes I remembered
I entered in the cocoon of that dark hollowness

To runaway from the noises
Inside and outside

All was what
Like mind arrest

Nothing was visible
Nothing was feasible

Only a vaccum
Neither could I hear
Nor could I speak

An unending weeping
Which made me creeping

I saw you tapping
I saw your lip sync
I saw your signs of calling

You kept on waiting
Till I started responding

My cocoon was not broken forcefully
You allowed me to come out peacefully

See dear
Now I am not crawling like pupa
I am ready to take out nectar
I am converted into a butterfly of nature

Pale colour
Agony and anguish
Reacting and rebelling
Earthing cries
Vaporising tears in sky
To find a place to sigh
for sleepless nights
For dark circles drawn under eyes
For all rumours around
For what had lost
telling stories
Cool air above and air bubbles
Turns the salty vapours into
soft ice flakes
to come down to spread white sheet on the land of heart
Slows down all emotions and normalise the blue sky

I love you
So I chose to stay long
with you
I decided to go parallel with you

I know
If I not  go parallel
Either I crash
Or get seperated for ever

Astronauts
Butch Wilmore and Sunita williams
On mission for eight days
Destined for
Two are marooned for eight
months

All your pains
Melt and flow out
From your heart and mind
In these disappearing moments of
Year 2024

Let new aspirations
Flow inside your heart and mind
Grow seeds of calmness and patience in your soul
To get fruits of happiness in coming new year
Happy New Year 2025

Saw her name on screen
Thought what to do?
Again same question
"What should I Do? "
Which I cannot solve?
She fell in one sided love
Her cries made me feel bad
Urge me to do something
How can I make him to feel love for her?
It's not a material
Which I could get for her
She cries in front of me
All the times lost in her imagination
Wants him to talk with her
Wants him to give her a look
Wants him to listen her
Searching  a person
Who can get his love for her
But how?
No one can bring feelings of love from him to her
She complains
He didn't reply to her morning wish
Didn't answer to his missed calls
Didn't reply her msgs
She kept on telling

Suddenly door bell rings
I told her" Oh! My tution kids are here"

She ended her call with no solution from my side
which can satisfy her

A small neem plant was grown
by an old man in his late eighties
Outside the boundry wall of his house

He looked after  it everyday
He grew some cactus for its safety

Neem plant was growing into a tree
Old man was becoming more elderly

Old man took few leaves every day
To keep himself fit

After few more years
Old man was unable to come down
From first floor to ground floor

One day I saw old man was talking to tree
"Now you are too strong
But I am too weak to walk"

I saw neem tree grew in more height
It increased its branches to reach the railing of old man's house

To my surprise one day
Old man was plucking the leaves
From first floor of his house

Neem tree was showing its gratitude
By offering its leaves to its saviour.

Get tired at work place
Take dinner
And go for sound sleep
to slip into your dream land
weave the carpet to fly
and enter into dreams of your love

Play hide and seek
Take a ride in cradle of crescent moon
Walk on the land of Mars
Bring precious moments of your memories as they happened in real
When sun comes to wake you up
Say
Just few more minutes let me stay in these beautiful scenes

The chirping of birds
Feelings of life's dream
Beginning of beautiful evening
The murmur of a new morning

To see
A South Korean eighty years
Model Choi Soon Hwa
In Miss Universe Korea
An oldest contestant

I sent message to
My sweet and cute friend

What are your plans?
You are much younger
And brainy

You have sparkles
To be a model

Get ready and
Take clippings
In decent poses
Send to your dear ones
Make them smiling

She sent me
A laughing emoji

Again today I got a msg
Two times in last few days
I get afraid to see red dot
on the inbox of HP

First time I opened
As it asked a question
As I clicked
It displayed a pornographic
content
Which I immediately closed
and blocked it as I thought
But again the box is red
I get an alarm
Might be the same with
Sgg name
It really surprised me
It filled me with anguish and disheartened

We all are here
Well educated
Try to present our emotions in nice way
Many questions araised in mind

Is it a member of HP?

Is it an outsider in disguise of member?

Is it a virus in phone?

Whatever is the reason
Try to sought out the problem

Still the msg from Sgg
Is hanging on the box.

Rakhi
Festival of brother and sister
It honours the bond between siblings

When sisters tie beautiful
Sacred threads on her brother's wrist with lot of good wishes

Today both brother and sister
Ready for this fervour

She tied rakhi and asked for gift

He picked another beautiful thread
Fixed on her wrist

We both will take care of each other
Care when in need
Will support indeed
Protect each other from all problems

I promise you
I will be honest on my part

One and one will become eleven
If you stand parallel to me

You are not timid and weak
You are as strong as me

I take you to gym
To teach you safety skills

I teach you math
To make your calculations strong

I teach you English
To give wings of expression

I teach you science
To understand  the chemistry of life

I teach you bio
To understand the function of Xylem and Phloem
To train
which emotions you have to send in Xylem
Which in phloem

Come my dear sister
Stand with me
We together will nurture
Our family

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

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

"A  beautiful place to get lost"
Heard these lines
Pulled a row of happenings around me
A target to get something beautiful
Reached through tough journey
Enjoyed for few days
It became the same as previous one
Set another higher goal
Worked hard to get that
Enjoyed it for some time
It felt same as old one
Now set a goal to get more
A beautiful place to get lost for ever
To become zero
Will play with it
To become infinity.

You are very polite
As light as feathers

You have ability to bear
As deep as maire

You hold happiness and sorrow with same reaction

Keep on working with same passion

You believe in spirituality
This shows your modality

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

Good morning sir
Thank you for morning flowers every day

Without forgetting a single day

What it might be
Happiness or sadness
Good day Or bad day
Meeting or parting

Send your wishes gladly
This is your own way

To keep everyone standing
And make everyone smiling

Pull in all your senses
Under the cover of silence
To give rest to your
Body, mind and soul

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

You all good comes in your way
Rise and shine in your way
I will see you through my divine eyes

Softly touched
Your trunk
You whispered to sit with me
To pour his energy
To melt away all my worries

Beauty of Mirror
Reflects the beauty
Of yours

Neither a bit less
Nore a bit more

I am enjoying
the single parenting of
a 91 years old father
to his 58 years old son

Which I missed for my children.

Planted a brown lifeless stick
On the barren land of school
watered it from her water bottle

I asked her
"Dear what are you doing"
She said
"Mam I am planting it to make it green"

I told her
"It has no sign of green. It is not going to turn into life"

After few minutes
I saw her planting a green leaf just very close to brown dry stick

Might be in hope
"To see green leaf dry stick will turn into green stick"

Her innocent act of plantation
Weighs thousand times more than who just gave lectures on plantation on high profile plateform to gain appreciations.

Every appreciation
Fell on desert heart land
No sensation
No spark
Feels like a hook to hang

A silent music in the silence of students
Their heart rhythm more than normal
It feels as if they are in deep meditation
Their pens are dancing with the warmth of breathing
Some pens are doodling on the corner of question papers

Light direction create the double shadows on the wall of examination hall make a unique piece of art

Tick tick sounds of clock seems very fast to them

Feels
Hands are tied
Mind is blocked
Heart is freezed
Soul is caged
Looks silently blankly getting drowning in the flow of time
To meet somewhere to someone to free the caged soul

She cried a lot
As her play went wrong
One scene was missed
to find the dress kept on drum

Dress which was to change
was misplaced by someone to disarrange the things

She cried a lot
Nothing went wrong
Mentor told in good tone

But she cried a lot
Spectators did not know
any thing missed

But she said
"I am not crying for them
I am crying for me
Which I missed was precious to me"

Creates gentle music in the leaves
When particles of air rhythm
and dance with the green energy
Poetry of atoms in the strings of air
laugh and giggles
Poetic rhythm in the breath
dances in the form of blissful state
When the poetry of life
breaks the rhythm
Life sleeps in the universe
till the poetry rebirth in it

A bond which grew its root
Very deep in my heart
It developed its roots in my mind
It's reflection in my heart
Circle of time
Shows me waves of your love
I want to touch and caress
But cannot as they are reflections
In the lake of past
Your vibration of feelings
I receive when I see your name
On the pages of my diary of life
Always stop for some time
Appreciate, feel your love
Get my eyes filled with tear
Draw few more lines in myself
To hold you for some more time
For those moments which I spent with you

Today suddenly
I realized I am in category of an adult person
When someone had discussion
About my job
After I finish my B. Ed
Other came had discussed about my marriage
My mother is in other plateform
Collecting jewellery for my marriage
My grand mother
After looking me dressed nicely for a marriage party
O! Girl is now fully grown up
Start looking for a suitable guy
My eyes filled with tears
Every one wants to worry for my future
Job, marriage then keep on running
Then for a baby
But just few years back I was in my nineteen
Where those years disappeared
I couldn't see and enjoy those moments
No one wants to see and ask
What is going inside me?
I feel helpless
Sometimes feel suffocating
To run away from all these forced responsibilities
Am I wrong?
Or people around me in hurry to fix me at their desired place
I realized today
Every one around me
Trying to make me realize
Ready to take responsibilities of this society
Immaterial whether I like or not
I enjoy or not
Am now I an adult!

When I arrived at home
from my work place
My hubby was sad
"What had happened? "

I lost my spectacles since morning
Neither I could read newspaper nor I could write poetry

"Don't worry I will find"
tried to console
I checked all pockets of his shirt and pant

I looked in almirah
I looked in fridge
I searched in washroom
I checked in kitchen

All in vain
I gave a pause

"If I find your specs
You will make a cup of tea for me  which he never"

Again I searched
under bed
on bed
I unfolded  the blanket
Which he used at night
It dropped from there

He picked up and smiled at me
                   AND
       I WON A CUP OF TEA

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

Smiling willow was sleeping
Made moon her pillow
Covered herself with star
Studded night blanket

Spreading pure and innocent sparkles

I was sitting beside and
enjoying her beauty
In my dream land
On same plateform

Literate and illiterate both
can have wisdom equally
to change the world

Only a sincere wish is required to break the ceiling

One online msg of challan
Created a hot wave at home
Son was happy
It was not his
He caught his sister
for a challan of rupees thousand
A friend of her was sitting
without helmet behind her

Husband started giving
instructions very loudly
Buy two helmets
Each of you if you had to carry someone with you

They replied annoyingly
Not very practical dad
Who will keep, where to keep
Two helmets together

Son again replied
Chill dad
Not very big issue
It could happen to anyone
after all friends are friends
'ma will pay for it'
Hubby looked furious at me

I tried to calm everyone

Sent my daughter to her room to finish her charts
which she had to prepare for her teaching

Told my son
"You go for bathing
Geyser is showing red
You need not to be happy
If it is not your challan
this time"

"Everyone please
leave this room
It is time for my kids of tution"
Hubby left the room by saying
"Traffic rules are rules
to be followed religiously"

Everyone took dispersal
on my appeal for children

Standing there
Outside the emergency ward
Both in black pants and black jackets
Wearing black shoes
Looking sober and elegant
Dark circles under their eyes were telling their  pains silently
May loose their father

******* beautiful eyes
Filled with tears
Rolling down in fear
Each drop reflecting the red light of emergency

They were trying not to cry
But shadows of death
Were trying them to wrap

पास रोटी, कपड़ा और मकान है

वे कविताएँ लिखने और पढ़ने में मशगूल हैं।

उन्हें कहाँ फुर्सत है जिनके हाथ मिट्टी से सने हैं।

अनमना सा मन
उनींदी सी महक
समय की तारों पर
गीत गुनगुनाता हुआ
कुछ मुसकराता सा

रात के चादं से चुरा
चांदनी की तारों से
सतरंगी सपनों की
चादर ओढ़ सिमट रहा है।

टिक टिक
करती एक अर्न्तध्वनि
सुना रही है
एक अतृप्त प्यास बुला रही है।

दीपक की भातिं कुछ जल रहा है
जिसकी महक मन को खींच रही है।

सब कुछ तो ठीक है
फिर क्या ठीक नहीं है
जो असंतुष्टि की सीमा पर खींच रही है।

जीवन की मोमबत्ती जल रही है
समय पिघल रहा है
मन असंतोष में जल रहा है।

कुछ तो छूट रहा है
कहीं मन की गहरी छाप तो नहीं दिख रही
कहीं अनंत यात्रा के पदचिह्न तो नहीं दिख रहे।

कहीं अनंत नाद की प्रतिध्वनि तो प्रश्नचिह्न
नहीं खड़ा कर रही।

Not find compatibility
Find complement of
Your love angle
To become complementry angles

A beautiful book mark
Between the pages of book
of my life

Vacations are over
Feeling difficult to sleep
As if workplace pulls me if I fall asleep

Relations break up very silently
But give pains very loudly
