Heart Throb And A Sigh

Written in 1984-85.

How I longed for the sunshine

In a cold wintery night

Overshadowed with soliquoy—

Remained life, bearing its existence.

Flowers bloom

To make the heart grow fonder,

A rainbow makes the heart throb so.

But why is it so

That my heart sighs

At the sight of both.

Impressions

Thoughts make impression

Impressions give way to words

Words are misleading

Betraying and provoking.

Breaking up the friendship

No matter what may happen

The loss remains irrepaired.

Oh My love

Thine sorrow

Was not but a grudge.

Thy fate was such—

That it broke and broke.

Perseverence

No love no hate

For whatever it may

Quietness prevails

Thoughts remain.

The heart beat I hear

Saying bitterness you bear

Smile from within

No tears to trickle.

Till when?

Till sunshine at hand

No lips to quiver

No words to shiver

Just bear and bear.

Blossom

If you want

the flowers to bloom;

Give it life

Of the open sky;

Within four walls

You always wish

The flowers to smile.

But how will it smile

Without its life?

An Epitaph

My heart ached for the dear one.

Tears trickled down the eyes one by one.

The night queen moved slowly humming the sad melodies.

With every departed moment I yearned for you.

As every withered flower gave away its scent.

Dear Sun, O king of light

So full of life and burning bright.

Silvery darkness you clear with every rise

And dawn the rays of hope to every life.

Big and small both greet you with a smile.

Then why is it so,oh tell me please!

Bring joy to some and sorrows to some.

Agonies to some and blessings to some.

Flutter

Wandering sights,

 Travel in the sky.

Like the twinkling stars

Thoughts pour by.

Its agonies and disparity,

Piercies the mind.

With utter frustration and confusion,

Quickly shut my eyes.

Pondering

This wine but not the water

Will it be realm of satisfaction?

This thought but not the folly

Will it be realm of success?

This feeling but not the sentiment

Will it be realm of joy?

This silence but not the solitude

Will it be realm of contentment?

God itself knows.

Recline

Lying beside you,

My body clinging to yours.

Your arms around me

Like an arch.

The nearness turns into a vast gap,

Like the banks of  a river.

I call for you,

My voice echoes back.

And then with drooped head

Trod along. 

With  tear filled eyes

To the path of pathos and sorrow.

Vaccum

I’m trodding along the road

Till where I don’t know.

As far as my sight goes

Having reptile curves.

I know its bite is bitter---still

I’m trodding along the road till where I don’t know.

My mind floating in the air

But what am I thinking

When put forth with a question

Finding myself in vaccum—I see

I’m trodding along the road

till where I don’t know.

Backward leap

Music mingled with love,

Vibrates the body for a while;

Enlightens the mind of the burden,

Like the clouds about to rain.

Sitting on a couch, my mind takes a backward leap

Into the childhood existence.

Those whims and fancies, laughter and giggles;

Then being at the best of behavior,

Became an apple of an eye.

 As I come out of the reverie,

Its  nothing but a blessed past.

My hands flung in the air,as if for a moment saying:

 Oh! Please don’t------

Don’t go my reverie, stay for a while;

But no it was just a mirage.

I take a sigh

Clear the lump of my throat,

 My body, without mind, like a corpse

Lies listless on the couch.

My Candle light

Endure the pain in your heart,

                             And put up with a smile.

Your sorrows will be your candle light,

                             amidst, the impersonal, mundane, world.

For life will go on unaffected,

heedless to your sorrow or joy.

So bury your tears in your eyes,

And let them burn as much within.

Spin a cocoon around you tight,

That nothing affects you by and by.

My Day

The morning dawned with the dews of smiles,

And woke me up with the hyms of skies.

A birdie sat on the window sill, and chirped:

“Happy Birthday Miss”

I pranced about the whole day long,

With every minute that passed along.

The sunlight too gave me a kiss,

And filled my heart with joy and bliss.

I wished the winter winds ‘Good day’

And whispered, just think;

‘This is my day’

A little Birdie

One early morning on the terrace I stood,

My looks got caught at the sight that stood;

A little birdie in black and blue,

Its beauty tranced me through and through.

Soft and tender bathed in dews,

The rising sun gave it the hues;

It hopped about in earnest haste,

And chirped sweetly with its fellow mates!
