Phoenix
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Bird of my relationship was
flying and gliding
freely

Lightening in the sky
burnt my wings
and crashed me on land

Gathered all my strength
and revived like Phoenix
With the beautiful wings
of friendship
With no expectation
Only concern and care

On
Vanita vats Nov 2024
On
The way to school in the nascent morning
Where tall palm tree are
standing in meditation

Orange sun is peeping through the palm trees in
enthusiasm to see who are
passing by

Sunrays are flowing in rhythm with the waterfall

Kissing and spreading the
colours of rainbow on its face

Every drop of waterfall entice to winking sunrays

Dripping love of waterfall
cuts every stone at the bottom of heart

Flowing,dancing and enjoying to make it its own part

HUMAN FIGURE
Vanita vats Sep 2024
Drawing teacher
Gave human figure to draw
On a sheet in artistic way

Many creative figures of arts were displayed

In between a sheet was found
A human figure was drawn
in a clumsy way

Drawing teacher asked annoyingly
"This is what I taught?
I taught you to draw so many human figures neatly.

What is this? "

Child answered innocently

"My grand father is lying on the bed
I am sleeping peacefully on his chest"

Teacher became unanswered

Wrote a remark
Most artistic human figure I have seen"

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

Love and pain
Vanita vats Nov 2024
Pain is shadow of love
When one grows more
Other grows less

Love and pain are inversely
proportional to each other

O my dear friend
Don't cry
I am here to hold your hand

FOOTPRINTS
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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.

PROUD
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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

Rhythm
Vanita vats Nov 2024
I am rhythm of broken heart
Which creeps at every step of hers
Which is like the broken sounds of  music instrument
Hanging on the wall of my heart

I hear the sounds of her cry
Which my mind send back
to her again with the more frequency

Neither I can get free nor she wants to stop sending the vibrations of those pains
Which raised due to the
broken bond between us

We still are unfinished
song of broken love
Not going to complete in this world

People around us made it more difficult music of my
unfinished life

White and black
Vanita vats Oct 2024
"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
and sprouting sin

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

WAIT
Vanita vats Sep 2024
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"

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

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

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"

Frost bites

Awaken late night
Jolting few lines

Melting from eyes

Get frozen as ice

Not cooling mind
Sending sensations of
Frost bites

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

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

My role
Vanita vats Nov 2024
I was on round in school
to check the activities of the  annual function to run smoothly

On the way I found a boy of class three
Who dropped himself on the ground
Took three, four rolls

I surprised and asked loudly
"Hey what are you doing?

See you have spoiled all your uniform
Your face too is painted with dusty earth
I am unable to recognize you"

He stood straight and answered innocently

"Mam I am practicing the roll of terrorist in play
I am protecting myself from Indian Army "

I hold the hand and sent him to clean his face

I was amused by the sincerity of the child by which he played his roll.

Theater
Vanita vats Oct 2024
Let every fight go away
Forget and forgive gives cool
swag any way
These patty small talks
let us burry some where
Riding, talking, walking
Loving
Scenes goes on
Keep on creating sensation
among spectators
Actor and actress jump away
Empty is theater
Behind the screen
Hero and heroine are
fighting for the slippers get
exchanged
Life on screen
Life off screen
Life in real
Life in dream
Life in virtual
Some how goes on
Life more miss match
Life less right match
Till life falls curtain
And doors get closed

Wrap
Vanita vats Oct 2024
I was moving out with fast steps
As clock in shop was ticking
for close

I Stepped out to leave
"Mam"
I looked back
9 year old girl hiding behind
her mom
She was peeping and shying
I smiled and waved

Her younger brother
5 years old came running
and clung on me
Raised his hands and wrapped me
I lowered and embraced him
He was snuggling in my arms
I felt relaxed and floating
in pure love
"This hug sent me in meditation for a moment"

Keeps you fresh and ready to move

It covers you and other
who is near

Its  umbrella of love
