Believe In God
Believe in God! In His might!
Ram, Allah or Jesus Christ!
As you like; as you trust!
When relatives desert
When friends forget
Still you have on your side
The Omnipotent
To listen to your plight
You yourself will see
His charity melt
Ablating your painful ailment
And filling your heart
With divine fulfillment

Unseen Angel
Never saw her! No way can I make out
Her face; her smile; her talk
Her walk and countenance
Her mien yet like a pleasant jolt
Brought back my youthful grin
Forgot I; ages back in time spin
I'm set to dig out
My lost reminiscences
To write my best ever romantics
It is now my turn; I start
To ignite one more inert heart!

The Victors
I was buying a sweater
From Nepali hawkers
A nude monkey gibbered
To Tsunami sea
An angler offered all his wealth, with a smile
His loin cloth
Rain abated
People are still locked in homes
Outside busy ant’s queue
Doused was forest fire
Within minutes came out of burrows
Rats squeaking
I wondered
Who conquered
The nature

Paradoxical Alikes
Blazing red
Ascetic saffron
Appeal to me
In same tone
Radical cannons
Vedic canons
Sound to me
In same tune
Rishi Marx
Rebel Manu
Seem to me
Right addresses
Take my route
Learn the truth
(Manu was a great exponent of Vedas. He wrote Manu Smrithi
a codified Hindu law based on Vedic tenets)

Listen Please
Let us not go into reasons
I don't keep asking
But the fact is that
You stopped listening
To friends and to the ones
Who talk some sense
But nothing happens
Really, nothing happens
You roll on whimsically
With your old ways
But lo! This has a tag-line
One day stops talking
Your inner voice
That's when starts
The real crisis! !

Atonement
It was a broad moon light robbery
The theft was notified
The bandit was identified
Alas! Under the Romantic Penal Code
There is no court! No plaint
In fact it is the culprit
Who is loved the most
And the lost gets the nemesis
Of living the life left
In total emptiness
But, no regrets
It is atonement
To be bereft of heart
Sathya….

Guillotine
Her heart is a guillotine
Once alas I placed mine
Rolled out two pieces anon
Even years after the fatal lesion
Remained the clotted blood stain
Reminding the worst ever let down
Well! Never enough of the learned lesson
This poor heart moaning in pain
Still pines for a love sign
Of what virtue is it’s reckon
Expecting a cloudless rain

My Laughs And Guffaws
I love my Television
Whenever I want to laugh
I switch to cartoon movies
The antics of Tom and Jerry
Keep on tickling my funny bone
For hours later
When I like to have some fun extra
And want to giggle and guffaw
I watch political news
But alas
The histrionics
Of our leaders
For days together
they keep me dipped in
Pain and chagrin

Who is less evil?
The Indian moguls
Throw their spit outs
Over their compound walls
For the poor to scramble,
Fight and collect along
With the street dogs
But our Super powers do it wise
They wrap their dregs and debris
In designer packets and sell
In the super markets and malls
Of the poor countries
At prices ludicrous;
Tell me!
Who is less evil?

My Village
Miles away my village
Through rocky thorny way, yet
I love going there
Across the farm greens
Caressing thin coarse leaves
I love going there
Wading the slimy mud
Slashing in shallow river beds
I love going there
Chasing butterflies
Taunted by honeybees
I love going there
Warbling pastorals
Chartered on a bullock-cart
I love going there
