Poetry To Me

Poetry is engineering of words
Designed with discipline,
Conveying feelings of writer
Aesthetic and glowing sheen.

Creative, varied interpretations
Able to deliver evocative sense,
Literary art to educate, amuse,
Evoke emotive response.

Adorned by tools of precision,
Symbolism, stylistic elements;
Listeners feel magical attachment
Assonance and rhyme present.

Bring the inner of the subject out,
Speak more than the words told
Craze, remembrance, impression
For longer the listener’s heart hold.

Politician's might, People's right

Public elect to make their representative
As member of house for welfare of society;
They think they are in house for sovereignty
Public who created, forget their nativity.

Public elect and make them mighty member.
Larger group creating smaller, is a mother.
Son enjoys power and wealth without cap
But mother is left for starvation and rap.

If a mother delivered but still suffer pain
What more can be shameful for that son.
Deprived of rights promised in constitution
But has no right to claim compensation.

Champa

If want to make night dreams fragrant
garden ornamental and wet in scent;
ensure Champa is there.

In temple at worship you wish to offer
In weddings, festivals need the flowers
ensure champa is there.

Honey bees can't know what's here
girls go aromatic with Champa in hair
ensure champa is there.

If you want vampires and ghosts
Play their mischief in cemetery itself
ensure Champa is there.

Contained five elements in our body
Champa holds five petals to signify
ensures champa is there.

Jump To Heaven

Hijacked planes flown into, for terror attack;
A heart shrilling scene, impossible to forget:
the view of smoking and blazing towers;
rising from both sides, flames of the fire.

Stood aghast watching buildings burn;
People disbelieved, shrieked and stunned.
Some people trapped on the floors of upper,
towers collapsed, sending plume of dust into air.

Many chose to jump instead of dying from fire
Sky looked raining human rather than water;
Though they knew the path they had chosen
Was also leading via earth to the same heaven.

Tongue in anger

In anger, whatever
The tongue utters,
May be loud to ear
But, are the words bitter.

Anger talks hot words,
Provokes and instigates,
Bitter the relationship
And happiness desolates.

Utter in anger un-pleases,
Heart beats increases,
Peace and patience seizes,
Emotions, controls un-eases.

Happiness lies in love,
Loving fetches the joy,
What you give same you take,
Anger or love receive back.

Life is water

Life is water
flowing in river of time.
It will scatter around
if no banks of discipline.

Some times flows smooth,
some times strikes with rocks,
shallow and deeper some times,
some times sloping fast.

Changes its color at places
in colors of love and laughter
happiness and sorrow
hate, anger and desire

Flowing it would contain
shells of the pearls;
while stagnant it would rot
and spread foul smell.

We Lovely Children Of God

This valley is ours
This world is ours
This sky is ours
This moment is ours
This heavenly age is ours

Beauty of word, that's we
Love of world, that's we
Worth of world, that's we
Future of world, that's we
We're pure and true souls

We're love of dad
We're love of mom
We're love of all
We're glistening stars
We heal your souls

We smile like flowers
We are free like air

Waiting for you

Moon is shining, my brightness;
Clouds are raining, my tears;
Birds are chirping my hymn;
‘I love you’ the breeze whispers.

Lonely here imagine your troupe,
Feel your breath and whiff;
You are here with your fervor
And glory closed in my eyes.

Sun already gone to dine,
Birds gone behind the hill;
Tell between you and me
What length of air is left until.

Killed the clock, to win you,
But fatigue has come to rule;
Rain, Wind, Moon have started
Teasing vigorous unendurable.

Welcome Autumn

Now, early sunset and late sunrise,
days have trimmed short their size.
Schools, universities open after break,
maple's gold leaves go autumn break.

Valley dressed in flowers, coloured brisk,
wait next summer for recreation trips.
By sun falling, stars weep, shed tears,
cascading smoky damp, wets the air.

Birds flocking, planning to disappear;
to find warm nestle before winter nears.
Hello! season of harvest and abundance,
Confer to land, lot fruits and food grains.

Goodbye heat! Welcome season of festivity!
Love to peek the beauty of changeability.

Tiny dropp of his ocean

God crafted the ocean
as big as the universe,
We are rained here
again as vapour, to revert.

We are droplets of
that large ocean,
Which has endless depth
and endless region;

Which has endless past
and endless future
But we the drops
soon become the vapour.

Many of the droplets
will be lost in sea strand
Many will lost on the way
or soaked in the sand.
