Robin’s view



Robin’s view

A  caring walk into my garden
which I reared  with many a trees
of my choice, seeing  Nature’s bounty ;
A Robin stripping berries- the pleasant
wind blowing from afar – a sight full of   
bowl and melamine cups flowing with
blue  and   purple -how  much in her stomach!
Her  magic hand carries a  wand
– in a good will move Sowing all seeds,
In the garden,- with the passage  of Time
Productivity and felling -all humanity’s
Survival mode. Marvel at Creation,
Pleased at Her Bounty; praying at
The sky for  the perennial pour,
Soon a  black bird  befriends all.

Heart (after ablation, Guardian)



Heart   (after  ablation, Guardian)

In between the   spiral like     parts
Blood  pumping in and out, palpitation,
murmur  and  heart  attack, there is   yet
another  attack of incision and instruments,
praying God, until you come out of operation
theatre,  after  a while, taking a vow not to hurt
people, the  promise  only short  lived;
you come out mingle with heartless  people
indulge in ungodly activities, emotions
of different kind thronging up;

Heart the seat of anger swelling beyond
the boundary, jealousy and all  passion
of crudity and wild moorings  taking
upper hand; physical and metaphorical
or literal name for heart, how different
nomenclatures veering   round their action;
the sessions of lubtub leading where?
How much can it maneuver or  how much
Can it hold, living and breathing last
In between this   strong knots.

In between the take off and landing


    In between   the  take off  and landing

All the formalities completed,
like the  gentle  cops’ interrogation, a
duty  which  cannot be abrogated,
reaching  the gate, with  saddened memories
and farewell, for   you are  going to be away
from home, from near  and dear ones;
 your home, which is not only a living space,
entity infusing life  and breath every minute
every corner, every object of your catch,
every utensil and every scar on the wall,
floor, hands reaching to redress, broom
and brass lamp, a regular  cleaning;
after all these , reach aircraft, your seat belt,
 feel of flying high; the azure and the accompanying
wings , wondering inventors’ other  side of  God;

At times, with a jerk, landing in a land either new
or familiar, entwined with new objects, new faces,
entirely clogged  in new climate; sipping   cup of coffee,
back home, your  kin and growing curious to know
about  every plank  and panel ; inescapable.

Twin affliction



Twin affliction

In body’s entourage twin ports
 need be checked; sense of shame
and soul’s affliction, body yields
to revelry or drunken rivalry, dragging
into pleasure realm, sensory   parts
move   their own,  each in its own
directions; love  and hate entangle
us in a web of non-stop move;
somewhere in the tip of my  move,
 guilt always corrodes me for the
wrong and right  steps, justifying
myself; I withdraw   my self into
a lonely cove, my seclusion admonishes
and consoles as well, depending upon
my moorings; A realization love has
different connotations; awareness
of a love unpolluted by skin and itch
I want to get up, rising slow  and steady
A sense of relief clutches me for ever.

Thanksgiving



Thanksgiving

Receiving The Mercy of God,
Just as  The showers from  the Blue,
Azure  tapping all its sources,
The superfluous twinkling of the stars,
Gates  of charity open and alms
Pouring  in times of needy;

War and fighting and gun shots,
Like hot pellets seizing the mood;
and blood oozing, mostly frozen;
still, healing not as fast as  vendetta
and pain which is grueling;
another concept of receiving;
no balm or appeasement for these;
some ray of hope lingering;                    


for all  of us  Thanksgiving
concept of thanks giving,
that one special Gift of mankind
kindling all flames,
nurturing hope and growth;
kernel of Divine Ordinance
governing principle of mankind.

Hat after me or me after that hat? ( After Guardian


Hat  after  me  or me after  that hat?  ( After  Guardian)

After all the hanging pal of gloom,
The  darkening hour in the walls
of cemetery  where  stones speak  volumes,
Steps in my sunny day, sunny mood,
My hat -an emblem of   starry sign,
would fetch me luck beyond counts,
 land me to far off places, flying so high,
  Only to see   below the ground level,
  to gauge the suffering, to view infinitesimal;
 am often trying to adjust the hat,
  running faster than my move,
  giving me an elusive grip;
 more than the hat, the embroidered thread,
 the airplane sign propeller on the hat,
we both were chasing each other,
on grass and tree top, wires and wind breeze,
cutting  across  sand and huts;
 it was an endless chase; not after  your
ken and kith, brothers  and relatives,
back home, your paradise,  your hat
 like a diadem adorning your head.

After Guardian----- ( A Musician’s encounter in a day)


After Guardian-----   ( A Musician’s  encounter in a  day)

The unimaginable thrill of music
running like flow of ripples
in the form of musical notes
quivering in my lips, all over
the rooms, from bed to bath
humming and running upstairs;

I recall my counterparts,
in cold shiver, the cloths
 hanging from shoulders
sitting cross legged on pyals
arranging his stringed instrument
to the best of its tune;

All the world is complete
Now slowly disintegrate
Like jigsaw puzzle;
We  have to assemble
The  broken parts dangling
Amidst our bemused life.


I am thrilled in the
Symphony of music
Swelling through
As  usual.
