What Is

what is true
what is false
need to explain
and also
necessary to say
how to arrive
at the conclusion.

Here I am
in a house
that is sugarcoated
that is not mine
except me
who is there
to book ticket
not seen.

Is the sun rising
in the east?
Who is flying?

Asked for rocks

Asked for rocks
Got water.
What a fortune!
Water is full of life
And it is I.

For water only
Next war would knock door
For water only
Thought submitted
That was not before.

Rocks concealed
What I felt
Things that is true
And it is still
Alive in air.

Air has the power
At this festive hour

To define you

It is not possible
toe define you.

My imagination fail
My independency deteriorated
while trying to go somewhere.

Nothing is easier
nothing to relaxed.

The moonlit still
filtering glow.
River Ganga overflow.
Partition suit dismissed.

I am the heir of
social tension only.
And I am failed to
draw any scenes
perfectly to putforth.

Remember

No feeling nothing
Envelope not closed
weightless odourless
Font pre-set.
No touch no emotion
No colours no affection
Flat questions flat answers
Plant trees having no leaves
No flowers No no life
Not like this.
Remember, Ours artful earth
Has lovely scent fresh jasmine
All white fragrant flowers.
Truth and peace reign supreme
Love and love the bond
Life's eternal cream.

I and my shadow

I and my shadow
Are in the auditorium
To watch the dances
Of the sun and the moon.

The sun the moon
The earth and and all
Are dancing singng
Simultaneously.

I am not there to keep
Account and my shadow
does not ask me question
As a honest parter.

I and my shadow
Are here to watch
To listen the dances
And the music keeping
Fully well Roses

To leave the place

To leave the place
You need not search for time
And anyhow if you got it
You slept.
Anyhow if you find yourself
In between the time
You have left the place
In the same time.

And in the same time
You lost your age
And what is age
It is nothing but time
The color the weight the height
Does not matter here
And you did not like situation
That you faced here
At par with time.

Language lost

My language lost
My identity lost.

Excuse me
I could not save my language.
I am forced to use foreign tongue
I am forced to shun all that are mine.
Excuse me
I could not save my language
I could not save my life
And I am not fine.

I want to talk in my mother tongue
I want to live in my home
I want to tell my Father to come and rescue.

My language lost
My identity lost.

Do Not Mind

I am forgetting
eating drinking wearing.
You are giving me a serpent
When I am asking for fish
And I do not mind.
You are sending a ravenous wolves
When I am asking for sheep's clothing
And I do not mind.
You are offering poisonous venom
When I am asking for sweet fruitjuice
And I do not mind.
You are forgetting
You are with me and sharing
equally eating drinking wearing.

Fish Not To Be

Fish not to be in water
And let us call it luck.
Somesort of madness
Is with crow
And say surreal kind.
Ask not what is what
You are just here to
Attend welcome ceremony.
You are allowed to shed
Crocodile tears
You are allowed to fight
With bears.
Go not outside or inside
And caught by media imagination.
Search out for a vacuum
And make yourself ready
To Fillup the column.

Near and dear

Who is the winner
I cannot say
It is not within
My capacity to say.

I know everybody is loser
I dare not say
Nobody is there
To belief what I say.

When I standup to say
Nobody is there to hear
I cannot say
What I want to say
What I want to say
You are not ready to hear.

I know who is the winner
I know who is the loser
When I want to say
