My young friend

Had thrown all litter of broken love in dustbin
in front of me

She gave me a hug
Then she was smiling and feeling light

All painful
How things end premature
It was a twins miscarriage for me
Very painful for me
Not for any one else
It was me who carried you both in me

Physical pain
Mental break
Emotional set back for many days

आज
Vanita vats Nov 2024
माँ की याद आ रही है
फोन पर भी ठीक से बात नहीं हो रही है
उनकी सुनने की क्षमता भी कम हो रही है
कभी फोन जबाब दे जाता है
जो वो बदलना नहीं चाहतीं है
आज माँ की रह रह कर याद आ रही है।

भोजन को प्यार से परोसना और फिर खाते देख गर्वित महसूस करना
ये शायद माँ के हिस्से की कहानी है
प्यार और स्वाद की रवानगी है

सासु माँ भी गुजरी कहानी है
जो मेरे आस्तिव के गौरव की जबानी है
अब मुहल्ले में फेरी वाले की गठरी खुलवा कोई सूट पसंद नहीं करवाता
हाथों में मेंहदी लगवाने की मनुहार नहीं करता

आज मीठा बनाना ही है
आवाज नहीं आती
आज इस  माँ की भी याद आ रही है

हर माँ के रगं निराले हैं
बच्चों के सतरगीं सपनों का संसार बुनती है
उसके सुख दुःख में जीवन भर चढ़ती और उतरती है

इस उतार चढ़ाव में अचानक से बूढ़ी हो जाती है
फिर भी उनके सपनों के पूरा होने की बाट जोहती है
माँ माँ ही होती है।

जब तक बच्चों को समझ आती है
माँ दूर हो जाती है
उसकी परछाई पकड़ कर दुलारने की कोशिश व्यर्थ हो जाती है

माँ भगवान् की सुदंर कृतियों में से एक है
हर माँ को मेरा कोटि कोटि नमन है।

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
A Bonsai plant in a tray

Watching
Vanita vats Nov 2024
Waiting for sea waves
to take some rest
Sea waves are laughing at me
Come and hold our hand
We will show you a wonderful world in the life of sea
Our motion creates a friction to keep water warm and live and
Let the sea life take birth

Friction are not always bad
They are many times reason for a good cause
Wear and tear should be that enough to bear

But high tides and too much friction always afraid me

What if I am taken away by high tides and keep me in the custody of demon in sea bed

And I am not a princess
A prince will come to get me free

Eclipse

Passing through a tough test
by God
Every calm and serenity is
shaken very hard
Green grass of tranquility
under heavy thumps
Full moon of peace is under
the shadow of eclipse
Still a ray of hope thru
Baily's drop of solar's eclipse

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

TYNDALL EFFECT
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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

HIS Choice
Vanita vats Nov 2024
On my way
Back to home
In front of GMCH-32 CHD
In the middle of road
An old man
With bend back
Stick in hand

Trying to stop the vehicle
Passing by
Few ignored
Few took a cut from his side
His hands were shaking
His dressing sense
tells belongs to a good family

I stopped my car and asked
"Do you need any help? "
I had a close look on his stick
An ID card in safety pin
was tied with the handle of stick
Took my car on road side
He said
"Today is fourth Saturday
Eye OPD is closed
Now I forget my way"

Checked his ID card
Made him sit in the car
He felt safe and relaxed
Things were becoming more clear to him

He started navigating
On the way he shared
few life experiences
Blessed us
Number of times in many ways

On reaching his place
He offered a cup of tea
But I thanked him
by saying
"Next time sir"

I was feeling satisfaction
by taking him to his destination

Prayed to God
"Hold my hand
Leave me at destination
Of your choice"
Although I had question in my mind
Whether HIS choice match with my choice?

Pole Star
Vanita vats Sep 2024
I am stuck
With the beauty of
Pole Star
In the northern sky

Gazing for hours
Wish
I could bring it on my land

But this is a special star
Magnificent and brightest

I forget for some time
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

KALEIDOSCOPE
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Kaleidoscope makes
Beautiful and unimaginative structures

Children play joyfully and show to their friends

They see in light
They try in dark

I made my kaleidoscope
With broken bangles

They displayed unique patterns
Which always fascinated
and captured

I took out those broken  bangles
To take out few stunning art of angles

But I couldn't find any art
It was an empty part

Those were only reflections of broken bangles
Which were creating amazing patterns

Same as broken heart is more imaginative and creative
In the kaleidoscope of life

These are broken bangles and broken hearts

Which creates a piece of art
74 · Dec 2024
Time
Vanita vats Dec 2024
Time is an imaginary frame of life in this universe
It keeps everyone on the line of imagination

Crust of time takes me up and push me back on the trough of life
It goes so smooth as if it is fixed by some force

Oscillation and escalation of time binds everyone on the neutral line

Rarely some break the transverse of this time line
to create immortality

It starts with high frequency at source
As the time passes frequency comes in descending mode and then disappear in this medium of life

Each Penny

On demise of
One person from multi tasking staff
Lower paid group of school
Collection of money is done by me
to help the family of poor
Very surprising factor
Come in picture
People of lower income group
paid the higher amount
Might be they know
"The value of each penny for that family"

Sati
Vanita vats Oct 2024
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

Plucked
Vanita vats Nov 2024
A flower for my beloved
Searched it on reaching the place where we decided to meet

I found it no where
Must have dropped it some
where
Turned back to my way
To look the place
Where I dropped by mistake

I reached the place from where it was plucked
I found it there
But alas!
It was thumped by some one

It could not be given
Before I turned back
I heard it's painful cry
My tear fell on it
I took it with me and
kept in my book of love to dry
To create a piece of art for my beloved

MOTHERLY LOVE
Vanita vats Sep 2024
As I stepped out of my house
A kitten was crying fiercely

Frightened and scared
Calling it's mother loudly

Making so much noise
Displaying defensive postures
Situation was really horrifying

A dog was trying to pound
To make kitten in  its bound

Suddenly I saw
A female monkey jumped from tree
Standing in front of predator

In spurr of moment
She picked up kitten

Climbed up tree
Embraced it in her lap
Holding  near her chest
Soothing and comforting

It was breathtaking

Motherly love in her
Played a great role

Role model for us
Who were standing around
Few were watching
Few were busy in making reel.

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

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

Which keeps you bleeding
Which keeps you crying

Look towards sky
Rays of hope are smiling

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

Daughters

Are rhythm of heart
Dazzling beauties of house
Gives comforts to nerves when in pain
They are shock absorbers for every shock and save from disintegration
Gives you space for your interests
Hold you when going to fall
Like fresh morning air
Still mothers worries about their future

QUESTION
Vanita vats Sep 2024
I was standing near the school gate
On afternoon duty in tired state

After the school was over
Group of three girls came near

Very young of nearly 10 years age

Laughing and giggling
Shining and smiling

Faces of them were glowing
Like the fresh dew drops in the morning

Their innocence made me attracted

I went near to them to take some fresh air

I asked with interest
"Girls what is going on
Give me also some drops from your happiness"

One answered
'Today is her birthday'

Her father promised her
"He will arrange a nice party for his nanhi pari"

She surprisingly told me
"My father also call me his pari"

B'day girl hold my hand
softly with her both hands

Mam "May I ask you one question? "
Yes, please

"Are you also pari to your father? "

I astonished, could not reply
Tears  rolled down from my eyes.

Yes, definately
Girls are fairies with invisible magic wand

आशा दीप
Vanita vats Dec 2024
आज तुम्हारे मन की देहरी पर
अपना आशा दीप जलाऊंगीं
बाहर अनंत अधेरा है
उस रोशनी की ओर
कोई तो कदम बढाएगा
जो तुम्हारे अन्तर्मन पर दस्तक देगा
मुझे बंद अन्तर्मन की झीनी दरारों से
एक रोशनी नजर आती है।
कभी कोई मधुर गीत गाता है
तो कभी दर्द के स्वर में गुनगुनाता है
कभी कभी महीनों तक सन्नाटा पसरा रहता है।
आज तुम्हारे मन की देहरी पर दीप जलाऊंगीं
वहीं उस पसरे सन्नाटे में सिमट बैठ जाऊंगी
एक दिन तो तुम योगी बन साधना पूरी कर आओगे
इस संसार को अपने गीत सुना अमर हो जाओगे
उन पदचिह्नों की माटी से अपने मस्तक पर तिलक सजाऊँगी

STRONG PILLAR
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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

SORRY

DONATE

Grand father knows
His end is near
But he has no fear

He prepared his will
Taught me few skills

When I die
Don't cry
Take me to PGI

Donate my body
My liver is right
My kidneys are bright
My eyes have sight

Don't waste time
If organs not chime

Still it will be good for research
How this old man go for long life search

When they return my body
Take me for electric cremation

I don't want to cut down any tree
To make my body free

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

Market is full of festive activities
It is decorated with strings of lights
Artificial flowers are hanging at doorstep of each shop
Big and attractive sale and offer boards are displayed

Jewellers are too kind giving offer buy one get one free on each purchase of diamond ring

Crowds of women on the jewellers as honeybees around their queen

Eateries are swarmed by women and children
Feels whole city is hungry
and no food is left at home

I bought my new glasses
To see every act of this world clearly
But every year it becomes more hazy
I turned back to home
To keep my pocket and health safe

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
