Love Life
Vanita vats Oct 18
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

FIRE BALL
Vanita vats Sep 15
You become fire ball in anger
Which gives pains and burns
Feel like ferns

You forget and come again
To feel sorry you did
With wet eyes indeed

But the person who went through all pains and burns

Will not be in a position to hear
To see in your eyes to give ears

PROUD
Vanita vats Sep 17
One morning
My son asked me
"Mummy would you like to drive bullet "

I looked at him surprisingly
What a question?

"Are you kidding? "
Making fun of me

No mom
"I am sure"

"Who will teach me? "
He answered"I"

But how?

Same as you did in my childhood
You held my cycle
Never let me tumble
Kept on running
No matter huffing
Till I told  you to stop

"Today
I will hold motor cycle
Sitting behind you
You will drive
You will enjoy

Come hold my hand
Don't get afraid
I am strong
I will not let you fall"

He was looking at me in doubt
I was quiet and feeling proud

RICH MAN
Vanita vats Sep 21
He was taking out petrol
From his scooter tank
In a transparent small bottle blank

He asked a person seems to his boss
Standing near the cross
In white collar dross

"I filled 3/4 bottle
Would you please allow me
to fill rest from your car"

He shouted
"You poor
How can you dare?
Am I getting free petrol from office mare "

I looked at him
He left the place

I asked him
"Why do you need petrol"

He answered
"Grass is tall
I need to fill in grass cutting machine

Office will take time to sanction
Children will play in ground
After the school is over

There is fear of insect or snake bite
I want to finish work today
So that they can play  
In peaceful way"

I forced to think
Who is rich

A white collar man in his glossy dress
Or
A man in old torn stinking dress

Hunger

Coming out of body
Searching for prey

Few weak few strong
Not finding place
Coming back with ferocious force
Enter in heart thru eyes

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

Not in fresh sun rays?
Seems me fishy
You may hiding your flaws

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

Last wish
Vanita vats Sep 30
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

Togetherness
Vanita vats Oct 21
Two roses young and beautiful
Inclined to each other
Enjoying their togetherness
Bathing in morning sun rays
Giving smile to everyone
Caressing each other
Carefree from tomorrow's
worries
When they droop and shed their petals
And get seperated
Spreading their divine love and sweet fragrance only

LOVE
Vanita vats Sep 13
I spread my both hands
Looked up to the sky
as a bird fly

Asked myself
"Is this the way to embrace the sky"

I spread my both hands
Lying down the earth

And asked again
"Is this the way to sprinkle happiness on the earth"

How should I?
I kept on lying

Closed my eyes and fell asleep

Inner voice spread the light
Over the sky, On the earth

"Spread the love everywhere"
"Spread the love everywhere "

FOOTPRINTS
Vanita vats Sep 13
On the sea shore of love
Foot prints of my son
I saw and thought

"They will be washed away by the high tides of time"

I left the place and went away.

Today sitting alone
Having fear of loosing  footprints

Turned the pages of life
They were as fresh as today

I looked up to horizon
He was smiling at me

I closed my eyes to click the sight

He whispered in my ear 'ma'

I looked around here
He disappeared from there.

A new castle
Vanita vats Oct 1
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

WAIT
Vanita vats Sep 22
I visited my mother
She was not well

Her eyes sent me
Strong vibrations of love

I hugged her
Brought too close

She whispered
"I am well
Don't get so worried
I am waiting for a call
I know I will sleep peacefully"

Next early morning
She woke me up in hurry
Opened her sacred book
It was enveloped in cover

Took out few notes
Kept in my hand

I denied by saying
"I am earning more than enough"

Her eyes rolled down few tears
She tried to hide and was saying
"Daughter has mother home till she is live

No one gives so affectionately as I
No one loves so dearly as I
No one waits so eagerly as I"

Best way
Vanita vats Oct 5
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

She is a lady with elegance.

Fond of getting ready and clicking a picture.

I love the way she is

She is a strong mother with clear vision for her child.

She must have passed through deadly pains for her son.

But she emerged as winner.

She brought her son back from the clutches of death.

I love the way she is.

She is simple and sober.
Intelligent and confident.

"One in a million"

I love the way she is.
Dedicated to my friend

EXPERIENCE
Vanita vats Sep 15
I feel bad
Whenever see word disabled

They should be called specially abled
With love and care

One experience
Our family went through years

My father's left part paralyzed
Which made him crippled

He lived with metal pipe in his food pipe
After a tough surgery type

We passed through many experiences
Of hate and financial crisis

Many erratic question marks
On the faces of others
For his daughters

Challan
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
It was traffic rule offence
Although my daughter always follow rules
But one of her friend insisted her to drop her a place which was few yards away.

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

Glittering packets
Vanita vats Sep 28
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
I sat in front of my Prabhu

Asking for the answers of questions left unsolved

I saw a smile in his eyes

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 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
A Bonsai plant in a tray

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

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

TYNDALL EFFECT
Vanita vats Sep 20
Crossing from road
Tyndall effect is seen

Morning sunlight is entering into the jungle of trees
Falling on grassland
Full of dew drops

Making them shining
Making them glittering

Shining like small diamonds on a sheet

As if night sky full of stars at night in dawn
Comes on earth in green colour
With all its twinkling stars

Two peacocks are on morning walk
A cow is licking her calf

Birds are chirping
Sounding melodious
Few birds are flying low
Catching the insects lying below

All this makes a scenic beauty

Sometime when you are free
Sit alone under  tree

Create a Tyndall effect for your self
Then you can see clearly
Dust and smoke particles
Inside moving freely

With no expectation

छुट्टी का दिन है
स्कूल आज बंद है।

उस नन्हें पिल्लै को दूध कौन पिलाएगा
दिन भर बच्चे उसे प्यार दिखाते हैं
अपने टिफिन से रोटी और कभी कभी
चाकलेट भी खिलाते हैं।

क्या उसकी माँ बंद गेट देख चली तो ना
जाएगी?
या फिर इधर उधर से अदंर आने की जुगत लगाएगी

आज स्कूल बंद है
वह अकेला भाई को भी ढूंढ रहा होगा
जो कल ही चल बसा
या तो वाहन का शिकार हुआ
या किसी अपने ही जाति का शिकार बना।

आज वह भूख के लिए भोजन और
खेलने के लिए भाई ढूंढ रहा होगा।

Yes, I am rejected
I am a picture which doesn't fit in their frame

Sometime people in merit are not to be selected

This is what I was told

May be having 30 years of experience
And over all incharge of many events

But
You are not as smart as your junior

Might be having very good interpersonal relationships
With students and parents

Might have spent 30 years with full dedication

What can we do if you are a silent worker?

Indeed you are strong pillar of our school
Still we can't select you as principal

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

You  told me many times
Don't go to your parent's
house
They didn't call you
I fought with you
Blamed for being jealous
of my father's rare richness
What if they forget
He is very busy
Not sitting idle like you

You sent me
With your loved one to take care of me
You stayed back
As you sensed those wrongs

You were right
I was wrong
He didn't not show any joy
Rejected me badly
I cried a lot
I asked for your share

He insulted me
For I went for love marrige
I chose a person
With no palace
No luxury
But with utmost knowledge
With endless creativity
No one can love anyone
As he loved me

I argued with my father
He started accusing me
He started abusing you

I couldn't hear that rubish
for you
I put myself on fire
in anger and anguish

You cried on loud
You held me with your chest
You put every thing in mess

You took my body and
Went for a voyage
Kept on calling my name
My body kept on falling
Nothing is left with him

You entered in total emptiness
My soul watching you with
endless pain
And
Kept on wandering in space

Fixed on her wrist

To make your calculations strong

I teach you English

To understand  the chemistry of life

Which in phloem

FATHER
Vanita vats Sep 18
I met
An auto driver in metro city Delhi
He drove me to sister's house

He was light hearted
Smiling and talking lightly

In between
He kept on giving suggestion
Way to reduce pollution
Pollution of air
Pollution of water
Pollution of mind

I started taking interest
As it was a long jam

I couldn't hurry
No use of worry
Had to withstand
Hot waves and hot conversations of jam

I asked him about his family

He answered
He had three daughters
Proudly told me

They were going to school
I wanted them to stand their own

I asked another question
"Do you live here with your wife"

He told me
"I am never married"

It could not stop me asking another question
"But how do you have three daughters? "

He showed me his both amputated legs

His family met a major accident
His brother and wife died
Left their three daughters behind

My legs were cut
To keep my life must

After I recovered from
that drastic change
I found three daughters were sent to orphanage

I cried a lot for them

I decided
"I will beg but
I will bring them back"

I changed their diapers
I cooked their food
I sent them to school

"I am happy
I am blessed with three daughters

Now they are grown up
They cook food for me
Whatever I earn till evening
They welcome me with silver smiling"

I thought
"We are so called educated
Lost ourselves in mad race
Definately in rat race"
