"manisha" poems
My small hut of dreams
surviving all alone atop of hill
covered all around with huge deodar trees
of muddy wall and slanting roof sill
Ginger and cardamom tea
near the orange fire place
reading journals
I will live , capturing the first snow in days
freshly baked potato in oven clay
sprinkled rock salt with melted cheese
fragrant leaves of corainder
lingers on and stays
sweet and sour taste of wine
from the close by farm of grapes
friends and family gather everynight
over dinner and United prays
bells echoing mystery in the air
far from the temples on a difficult mountain
where path to heavens looks reachable
trekking the rocks in sun and in rain

Drop by drop
How it was done
Condolence ripped eyes
Forever in the dusky light
Marching soldiers like water glides
Country by country for the moments pride
Still digging and digging for the new way
Like ant's used to do near a cozy place
Elephants were humble to nod and stay
Loosing temper was not his game
Like pond still and shinning on a full moon day
Meteors fall just to burn in the way
Bam.. explosion
If they land to celebrate a day
Elephants might not live to sing
A Happy.... happy Birthday
Who might survive
I guess ant's would stay
Coz they'll be hiding in their cave

Blooming flowers in the heart of sky
dancing the shades vibrant of butterfly
magic of grass green
blending in light of the dawn serene
Rainbow with all it's colors
sprinkled on the contours of earth
red and green and blue
Like Sparkling drops of resting dew
soothing white lillies
and sensual red rose
captivating fragrance of jasmine
and the smiling marigold
ornamental purple vines of bougainvillea
glorifying in the bright of light
in the cloudy patterns of heaven
inciting mischief in the playful minds
Bells of Gladiolus
supreme in its strength
Sunlit sword of lily
Blushing,when emerging from it's stem

Honey laced sweet words
Sugar slippery coated and glaced
Decorated and wrapped in the best
Casted and moulded in the proper set
Used with finesse and matching tone
Years of practice was behind the scene
heartfelt happiness or the showy sympathy
Correct timing with beautiful delivery
Empty words and deaf ears
Fooling culture of exchanging pleasantry
Brutal honesty always hit hard
Society rejects the black sheep from all
Lesson to learn in life
What wins is diplomacy and lies

Debtors and creditors
Declining stock
High sales
heartless flock
Profit is aim
Impractical gain
Weather is good
Never cared to enjoy the rain
Captured soul
Under the debris of files
Running one after the other
Honesty dying in front of lie
Stylishly tucked in suits
And heart tailor made of wood
As only then will justiy
What we did and what we should
Hitting hard with financial indicators
Stock in hand or sundry creditors
Breathe out this craziness
Seek pleasure in the little things
And make life a lot better

Poet 1-- you have landed straight from moon
I was waiting since morning
And now it's noon
Poet 2-- I live near by and not in moon
What's the matter , I ain't no fool
Come rush to the point real soon
Poet 1-- my poems are dying
Untimely death
No listener at all
lend me your ears
And I shall serve you till last my breath
Poet 2-- ohh dear brother I feel your pain
I'll read your's, if you read mine
Let the other selfish lot
remain devoid of our artistic claim

Deserted dry land
Bodering the princely state
There once lived
A king unconquered till date
Never did he surrendered his will
The glance at the beauty clear as milk
Diamond eyes and smile as fresh as spring
Heart slipped wrapped up in royal silk
pincess Hadi, greeted his love
Together bonded forever in bliss until,the bells of danger started to ring
And it was time for a good bye kiss
Duty or love he had to weigh
Said to her, he might rather stay
Bold Queen Radi had rajput blood
Convinced her husband to serve nation first
Reluctant he, agreed to the terms
Asking for a love token to take
Radi the queen surprised him when
Served him, her beheaded head
So that nothing could come between him and the nation at stake

Invisible line of faith
balances the rocks of life
the sun and the moon
the day and the night
hopeful desires of the heart
and the guilty reasons of the mind
many a questions unanswered
line of karma, hard to find
Passive contentment
that everything is right
Or
the proactive approach
for the future bright
Dwindling thoughts
from extreme left to right
Rescuer brain
finds the middle path in sight

Static, the stage was set
slowness had conquered
Furious fast pleaded mercy
but the sluggery had won
Dry was the sun
No wind did turn
trees were sleeping
chaos had out run
Dawdling present was lived
hurry was boxed in coffin
complaisance recovered
as again the slowness had won

A drop of even
with a hint of odd
continue fighting
without a thoughtful nod
as long as one is one
and two is two
religion works
and spreads like flu
question rises
and beliefs are shaken
when even hides
and odds awaken
then
The tunnel of light
and the ray of hope
suddenly turns dim
and difficult to cope
odd shines
alone in crowd
even dies
Sleeping in proud

Ablaze night, by the pearls white
Sickle moon, shinning silver in light
Thrift of the whistling wind
And tap of the hooves ringing loud
Rider of the sky
In whites of the cloud
Fiery vermilion on the fore head
Valiant like sun
Eyes like fire, tall stature with mountain strength
His gallant armor with diamond harpe his only weapon
Crown of his, unique of the clan
Heroic dazzle and rings of power in his hand
Shelter far away in the milky land
In the galaxy of the stars
With golden falls and silky sand
Red grasslands and purple hanging trees
Reverse in the times of the gigantic clock wheel
Fire wings , of silk white
Flying open with the riding wind
To his hides,up away in the hills
Disappearing with the shade of light

Best are those whom you meet by chance
when you cared less and free from heart
everyone stood equal and no one apart
it was easy moving with flow with no draft
through the happy and through the sad
from chirpy loud to silence
you withstood by me
immense patience bottled inside you had
nothing did I leave to not turn you upset
out of mind and puzzled in my own quest
like a rock in cold and night
I am indebted with your gestures of not taking a flight
I have never seen discontentment in you
you had been so constant in my life
Words fall short to explain somethings
so I'll just say a Thanks to you

Still safe in soul
locked forever, won't let go
light years to cross
you in heaven, I know
watch for me
and keep me safe
my guarding angel in god's place
following your footsteps
in the sand of time
deeply engraved
your preachings sublime

The path, which I couldn't see
In the woods and near the sea
Tilted grass ever so green
Black damped and scented soil
Under the shade of the trees
Away from the gaze of the sun
But shinning in moon light
the path so close
Kept hiding from my sight
White flowers in the weeds
Leading to place never seen
Misleading Illusion to the eyes
Of the jungle, river and ice
Blue waters and crystal sky
Island of dreams, the other side
this world I did explore
when I took a step more

All the world's renowned
had gathered for a say
and I was standing in
a corner less green and all pale
dressed gracefully
and preparing long speeches
motto was conclusively decided
"Save earth and other species"
Beautiful words
chosen with care
threaded in silk
and stacked in layer
I gathered courage
to put my case
heat from the audience
I had to face
why
did you **** my mommy
and my daddy
to **** me also
you all are ever so ready
I give you food and air
what you doing, it's not fair
trampling us, building
concrete structure
think of your children
and their future
when all will vanish
and nature will turn dummy
then you'll realize that
you cannot eat MONEY

Dipped in mild rain
over the black pepper sky
rollers bolted with panache walk
ruffled & dusted , their style
their teethy smile with rocky cuddles
And then they collide,
bursting in to pebbles
path, once led by the rolling stones
Now dusted trails in silence of winds
they click musicals
Uncovering the destiny ,thus their story begins
marching sounds of invasion
territories new, abounds the future unknown
brazen roads up to the corner of the sea
where once , little daunting cold had grown
careful walk , delicate as it could be
they slip quietly in to the ocean
as the rest after the thunder, they had forseen

Break the layer of concrete
covering us
of sin of regret and hurt
shed the baggage of past
emerging as the ray of light in the dark
as a seed sprouting from earth
crack open the coconut shell covering your heart
of hatred of guilt and remorse
as there's always light at the end of the tunnel
shells break for life
and sun shines after dark
So,
Walk afresh leaving behind the clothes of shame
start a new chapter
and start it all again

Art
is like worshiping god
With the purest of intention
Of surrendering to master
Pouring the love in the form of art as a mark of devotion
Art is melting oneself to the mould of the form
Lifting the soul to reach beyond the worldy consideration
Art is beauty in the eyes of the artist
It is love beyond comparison
It is promise unbreakable
It is the faith and believe of one's existence
No rewards and recognitions matter
When it's deeply pursued from heart
Love and devotion feeds the soul
When cherised in the form of art

The strings of old guitar
pale & feeble page from the past
dusting off the layer of time, it lay
under the cover of dreamy cast
resonating vibrations of strumming string
recollecting forgotten melodies to set it start
slowly slowly the rhythm picks up
voicing the ones left in draft
touch of strings sets the pulse high
gravity falls apart
music serves the soul
wishful light ruptures from the mournful dark
Magic fills the room
time has travelled far
separation couldn't seperate us
me and my old guitar.

Will you stay until the night has gone
And till, the morning shines all bright
When the birds welcome the lord and fresh dew starts to escape in light
Stay until the dream last
When the mystical galaxies expand
Until the stars fade away
And the moist sun stands
Stay until the rivers rest
Before they surrender into the sea
From ponds and lakes
Till they break all ties to be free
Please stay until it snows
When the town is covered in white
And your embrace is the only warmth
To keep the love burning alive

In the light of wisdom
Speaking eyes of curious gestures
Tilted smile of sarcastical humour
Throbing beats of discovering lost happiness
Orange tint sky of the state of pleasure I see
Twirling effortlessly with rhythm of the dancing spirit
Diving in the cushion of clouds
Reflux of free fall in the laps of nature
Minting the gold of shinning amber
Falling pieces in the solace of his warm embrace
I melt in to the bits of his holyness
His selfless and supreme power
Depth of the oceans and heights of sky
I stay afloat, an inch above the ground
His beats resonate my steps, as clearly i see
silently sleeps, the tides of the ocean vast
When in the vessel shallow in cast

I saw from mile
her gummy smile
three strand of hair
planted strongly
on the shining moon's hemisphere
brittle nails
creaking loud
scratching her back
and making sound
half closed eyes
has seen the world
born slightly after the Christ
Dropping loose
her calloused skin
rusting black
like an old tin
her words fall empty never
forsees fortune
bestowed with clairvoyant power

Me- come near me
Why do you fear
I will write sweet
And will try to be clear
Paper- you liar
You'll draw circles
Until I die in pain
Roll in to ***** and straight
in to drain
Me- No dear friend
I Shall explain love
And soltitude and discuss
pain
Or probably it's easy to write
about rain
Paper- my destiny
Is in your hands
I shall rot in dustbin
Or shine on wall in a golden
frame
Me- muses are resting
At a far away land
Till then bear my friend
If I write anything insane

Black sea vast
And the twinkling stars
luminant moon from far
Witnessed our love for hours
Not a word was spoken
Silently we sat together
Hand in hand
Gazing the sky in the comfort of each other
Melting in the glaze of your eye
Light breeze caress our heart
My love
Stay with me
Until the death do us apart

Ghughuti,the bird has come
Flying all across the hills
Far away from my land
She bought with her the blessings
Of my mother,for me to return
Ghughuti what you got for me
She said" your wife's tears
As she could hardly speak"
Tell me Ghughuti
How are my children
"Your children are very proud of you, they know that you are doing this for the country"
When you go back
Tell them that I'll come back soon
I miss them but duty comes first
My nation needs me and I must serve
Tell my land and the river
Watch for me, till I return
I owe a lot to you too
But first , let me finish this bigger mission
