FATHER
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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"

Khushian
Vanita vats Dec 2024
Came to knock the door
I mistook as misfortunes

Standing and waited to answer
No answer was given by me

I opened it to check
to sense the silence

It was still there
with the light in hand

To show me the way
Which I missed in my negligence

I hold the torch
to lead the life this time

Khushian spread in my way
nurtured by my sweat and
strong will

Now comforts I feel on the path full of thrones

As I also mastered the skill to change them into roses
for the welfare of others

"Is it on me?"

Karmas
Vanita vats Apr 7
Life takes birth
Take little steps to understand to survive
in the universe
Energy of this universe takes care
To keep you alive
To give you fruits of your karmas
Sweet sour and bitter
You like or not
You have to pass through

Best place
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I was fascinated by
the divinity every where
In His each creation

Went to
Search divinity
Research divinity
Discover divinity
Preserve divinity

Could not find a place
Without His divinity

That showed me path
to look inside me
Found the best place
To germinate divinity
Vanita vats Nov 2024
तुम्हारे सूरज की किरणें
प्रेम की बूदों से गुथी
मन की चादर पर
इद्रंधनुष के रंग बिखेरती
मन को उल्लासित कर
आह्लादित कर
जीवन की झलक दिखलाती हैं।

तुम्हारे सूरज की किरणें
मन की धरा पर पड़ी बर्फ को पिघला
नवजीवन उत्सर्जित कर
हृदय की तंरगों को तरंगित कर
नए स्वरों को निर्मित कर
जीवन के गीत सुनाती हैं।

O, MY MIND
Vanita vats Dec 2024
Create a poem
Best in your creations
Which takes me to my beloved standing on horizon

From there sending me vibrations to come near
Showing me His glimpses
and get disappear
Playing a game of hide and seek

The more I go towards Him
More it seems move away

His reflections call me again and again

Now I am sitting here on the bench of time
Sent my vibrations to Him
I am tired and thirsty
You come if you love me
Otherwise
Let me sit here till infinity
I will wait for you

Starvation Mode
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I saw a face of horse
sprouting out of trunk of tree

Tree was ready to gallop
to get free
Wings of horse giving push
to protest tree

Took a flight to meet His
Creator to bring few changes
They are same as they were
billion of years before

Make changes in their locomotive potential
These days they are facing
suffocation
Their skin is burning with pollution

They are forced to drink poisonous water

O, my creator
I am representing all my friends
We want to go to place where humans are gentle

Take care and respect us like their elders
We will complete all your given assignments for the
Welfare of your highest
creation

Listen to our plea or
We will go for hunger strike till death

       Tree
Green energy

Love Life
Vanita vats Oct 2024
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

Childhood
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Wonderful to see

Let not get your childhood

FIRE BALL
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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
62 · Nov 2024
Is it good?
Vanita vats Nov 2024
To be too good
Too goodness make you too sweet
Too much sweet in body
make you sick
Unfit to do too much work

Too much sweetness in life
attract many unkind people

Attract you to use for their
own welfare
Use you as ladder to raise and forget
Not only use but kick the ladder to make 'it' fall.

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

SYSTEM
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Exam was over
A boy from junior class
Asked
"Are exams invented by
Mr. Revision? "

Before I could answer
"I will go in past and **** him"
And ran away
As his bus driver was calling loudly

A big question in mind
Should not our education system kind?

FIND
Vanita vats Sep 2024
In the following lines find five basic elements of life, five senses and their five functions

Close your eyes
Feel the love in air

Inhale the air
Let your nose
Smell the fragrance of rose

Touch the earth
Feel the moisture in layer

Find the molecules of water
To let your tongue
Taste the spices in nature

See towards sky
Give ear to hear
The sounds hanging in atmosphere

Smile to sun
Let  the rays enter in your skin

Clown of life
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Juggling with emotions
Which to hold which to push

Eating, chewing, gnawing
and digesting
Fueling fire of thoughts

All the time ladder up and down to exercise what went
wrong

Levelling and balancing walk
To forgive and forget to smile upon life in front

Oranges and blue berries
of every rise and fall
Falling off scattered every where

Umbrella for hiding magic tricks for pain and touch me
not like plant

Settling down the every particle of life stirred vigorously to get a clear picturesque view of mind

"Take away gold loan"
"100% happiness for sure"

I assured him 100% happiness for sure
Which is lost somewhere

I am selling candles and diyas
Some earthen pots and decorated clay hanging
Chimes

Few neatly made clay chandeliers joined with steel
hanging chains

See these few piggy banks which will
Remind you of your childhood days
When one clay *** was
given to each of brother and
sister
To teach value of savings

Birds will come and play
Bring happiness with them

You can buy earthen trays
to grow wheat grass
They will give you health

Come and buy any of them
Candles and diyas will
ignite happiness and joy
in these winter and dark nights
To celebrate your festivals

Buy these candles and diyas
Send your prayers with
warmth of love
HE will answers your prayers

Buy anything you like
to see smiles on the faces you love

These candles and diyas will
bring money to buy butter and bread for me

It will give me joy to see my children sleeping with full
tummy

You have full tummy full heart
It will keep my art alive
Raise your vocal for local
Come and buy any one of my art

बचपन
Vanita vats Nov 2024
बच्चे बहुत प्यारे होते हैं
खेल खेल में दिनचर्या दोहरा रहे होते हैं।

कभी गिरते हैं तो
माँ के  आंचल की गर्माहट ले फिसल जाते हैं।

कभी लड़ते झगड़ते हैं
तो दूसरे ही पल
दोस्तों से जा मिलते हैं
अपनी मुस्कुराहटों से हर पल निखरते हैं।
जीवन दर्शन के दर्शन इनके दर्शन में
झलकतें हैं

इनके बचपन के साथ हम  भी निरंतर संवरते हैं।

OBSERVER
Vanita vats Sep 2024
She called me there
Told me to sit on chair

She made me sit as an observer
As she had no trust on other

She showed her counselling register
This made other a splitter

Both exchanged hot discussion
Trying to put other in friction

They stopped discussion
Without any solution

Next day tried to repair the situation

They called me again on chair
They tried each other to scare

In between

Madam asked me for verification
As the person tried to put her in tough situation

I verified and said
"Madam this you said about her daughter"

Madam showed me anger look
How can I brought her in book

"You disappointed much
should give favour to me"

I was surprised
"Why I was made an observer"

Guru
Vanita vats Dec 2024
Always take you on the voyage
You never experienced before

I passed through the experience which I never went before

First I experienced how a person can see Him everywhere
In youngs playing in park,
In old going on a walk
In a friend's talk

In a young couple sitting on a bench
In old couple sitting for lunch
Ladies biting a food crunch

Second
How a person not get hurt
even if hurt again and again

Either I lost my senses or
I surrendered to my guru
Who is ready to take my test
whether I fail Or pass

He hit me hard from outside
But hold me not let me break inside

I naman my guru who is ready to lead my life

Smile
Vanita vats Apr 22
Your smile is as pure as an infant
Your smile is as refreshing as flowers with dew drops in the morning
Your smile reminds me a dancing peacock in a cloudy weather
Your smile is as colourful as rainbow after rainfall
Your smile on  face with respect in eyes makes me forget all my worries for few seconds
It takes me in the divine world of lovely thoughts
God bless you all your good wishes
To make you keep smiling always.

These
Vanita vats Nov 2024
Days I am unable to look inside
Something pulls me out
I want to go inside to talk to me
To check what wrong is going on

To regulate the scattered thoughts

To streamline pile up work
But something pulls me out

Shows me the fear of work will get left out
I come out to complete the unending work of this world

Neither work get complete
nor I get the inner peace.

This cycle goes on
I sometime call HIM to break this circle
And pull me to embrace
Embrace me as I am

Holes
Vanita vats Apr 5
Sitting in checking centre
Pin drop silence outside
But a storm of thoughts
Shaking my concentration
Jumped into the container of past incidents
To find the holes
From where faith, peace flowed out
Left with smelly like left out garbage
  after a function
Suddenly a phone call from school
Made me realized
I am sitting in examination checking centre to check the answer sheets
Pulled all my senses towards my work
58 · Nov 2024
Sitting
Vanita vats Nov 2024
Alone
Watching me
Writing a thought
going deep inside me
To find any thing to bring a spark in me
To find all answers of piled up questions
To stirr me hard to pull up
the sleeping part
To say something to me
to show me path
To search my whole
To search my soul

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

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 "

Just after marriage
He took me to the roof of his house
Situated at the foothills of Shivalik

It was dark and clear night
Stars were twinkling in the sky

He showed me light coming from the houses on the hills

They looked like sparkling diamonds on the ring

He said"That is Kasauli looking like a beautiful lady wearing a glittering sari.

This is place full of scenic beauty with lush greenery.

We both will go on tracks to enjoy the life"

I smiled and nodded

Till today 25 years I spent
Still Waiting for his promise to ment

RICH MAN
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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

I revised it three times
I made it sure
No question was left unanswered

Still so much time was left
Few pages in my answer sheet were blank

I wrote one poem
I drew Tom and Jerry
I made few colourful patterns

Time was over
I submitted my sheet joyfully

When I was returned my answer sheet
I got cross on them
Many signs of question marks with red pen

I got above average marks
I showed my creative art

But I got unpleasant remark
"Should not I get reward?

My Mistake

I lost my father recently
So you might have approached me in empathy

This is experienced by one of my young friend.
I wish she come out from this situation soon

The window of train
Outside pouring rain
Pitter patter rain drops sound
Make me look around

A woman labourer
hitting  hammer on the rocks to make them small

All pebbles to lay down
between the tracks of rail

To make en route for the life of train
Thousands of people run for their bun or fun

Her child is playing on the track
Unaware of any danger
Running from one track to other

Train is coming with high speed and sound
Child looks afraid
Which makes my fingers crossed
Run towards his mother
Hide in her lap
Which is his lab

Child is playing in danger
Fighting with fear and pain as he fell on track

His childhood is facing the danger in and out

She will cry
Her tears will flow through

ये जोड़ी भी अजब गजब है
आजकल पिता जी कई बार डांट लगाते हैं
मोबाइल हाथ में देख घुड़की लगाते हैं
सुनना तो कम हो गया
दिखना भी कम हो जाएगा
ये नालायक समझ नहीं पाएगा।

कुछ देर बाद ही
खाने को पकड़ाते हैं
फिर दोनों चाय की चुस्कियों पर
दुनिया भर की राजनीति पर गरमाते हैं
किस देश में क्या हलचल है इनको सब खबर है।

कभी एक पल उलझते हैं
तो दूसरे पल सुलझते हैं
एक दूसरे के हमदर्द बनें रहते हैं।

इन सब में एक बात सुकून भरी है
दोनों डांट और नाराजगी के पीछे
छिपे सद्भाव को समझते हैं।
