The Man

Here comes he! The fool with sword
He don't know the language of pen
He purchased the cock for the Eggs
Requested him, please bring the Hen/
Flood of Blood is my desire, shouted
‘Mightiest man of mightiest world'
When yelled his tongue sprouted
And suddenly into the den it hurled//

Fascination

I have always been fascinated by moon
It moved along with me wherever I go
To my surprise, I used to ask with my granny
She used to say "it's playing with you"
Then many a time, moon and me
At a wide space, Face to face
Talked in our language surprisingly
At the stretch of my curiosity
Language is still persisting
Now it became my dream//

‘O' Djinny Of Sweet Love

She hid in my mind,
My inner eyes can see.
O my eyes! You can't find
Always she is with me.

She assured and left,
To greet me at home,
Her promise I kept.
Guarding like a gnome.

I am not a love oozy
But I love her most,
I am not a love choosy
But I was her love host.

‘O' Djinny of sweet love!
A sweet song of my dream.
I lost my love dove,
Blinded with lost beam.

Eternal Bliss

floor of the moon, silvery white
someone dancing, cant be seen.
glimpse of shadow, unveils
a dark spot on the bright,
stars, unseenlives and the sea
sing sweetly: a spritual chorus
Hymn it should be...........
at the seashore,
unutterred whisper like prayer
with the tighten lips roars
lovers gather unconsciously
like a dream....
my soul flies, body lay asleep
an eternal bliss...
I am dreaming.....silently

Poet

Every day cloud burst over my head
Every day I die,
every day I dance In a dark room
of sorrow and happiness
Into the light, I shy//
Why to weep and why to cry
Under the veiled canopy of false hood
Still, at some precious moment
I have a movement
Into the deep dense wood//
With a naked thought of a child
A pawn like pen,
A chess board like a paper
Desirous Victory winning bard
Under thy Cord, O my Lord////

Bahar

I lost everything during my sleep
Shouted, cried, and wept
I couldn't save, everything swept
Yes, it was 29th October, Monday
My kid lost their mother
Sisters lost their sister
Brothers lost their sister
Father lost her beloved daughter
It was the mid of the day
Bright light was shining on sky
For me Darkness Everywhere
When I woke up from my slumber
She slept forever
Left me alone,
Alone forever on this earth.

Mother

Mother 'o' mother of mine,
Who will forget thee...
Earth and heaven enfused in thee,
Ye suffered with shaping pine.
Mother 'o' mother of mine...

Thy love, bliss from heaven,
Thy words, a calm breeze
Ye the morning sun shine.....
Mother 'o' mother of mine,

Holiest among holy ye be
Magical music thy lullby
Thy lap was my cushion fine
Thankless to her, a supine
Mother 'o' mother of mine,
Who will forget thee...

Rose

Among the thorns you laughs,
Fragile mighty Rose.....
Thy built is so bold,
Onto us it's natures dose.

You the beauty of the plants,
Among stones you the onyx,
I know, you face threat from within,
A lovely smile though in fix.

Your fragrance slides into heart,
Your beauty loved by all,
You are the choice of lovers,
Till the petals fall.

Who care for thy lesson you teach,
In the artificiality of fashion that preach//

I Will Cage Thy Age

O my love, don't forget me
Dreams of dream ye be/
You instilled the glories of youth
Brought rain on the waste land
Instigated the hidden wild grass
To grow under the shadow of
Your tender hand/
Say, fate denies and you accept
The path me to reject
Neither ye be the Brawne
Nor I be the Keats
But I promise 'Grecian Urn'
From me for you a dower
Seeing not thy face
Showing not of mine
I will cage thy age
And make thee youth forever//
