Coming Rain Coming
Over there from the forests,
Of the Oak trees....
Coming, coming the troop
Of rains with heavy breeze.
Charging like the troops
Of soldiers coming so fast.
The clouds heavy with water,
Have burst atlast.
They are coming from,
The north hills, coming to my place.
The trees around my house,
Are now waiting in embrace.
They waited long to have bath,
Under the shower of rain.
In heat and in dry dust,
How long can they remain?
Branches are nodding their,
Heads, signing, come o rain soon.
After such a scorching heat,
Come as God's boon! .

I Feel Like....
I feel like dying dying
Dying without you,
To leave this body,
To take a new.
It's not that I
Hate this night;
It's not that I
Have lost my right..
But I'm dying dying
Dying without you
To leave this present
To embrace a new.
None will mourn here
No heart-break;
No swan-song,
Not one inch's shake..

Road To
You never know the road to
love mingles with which great
path, or the end of the blind
alley of hatred is blocked
for ever by a wall of aversion!
I don't know what hatred is,
how to humiliate the son of
God! Even, I can't hurt a sinner,
as I hate the sin, not the doer.
Your path is not like mine.
You are a black-hole which
can exploit emotion in its
endless cavity of hollow soul.
If I go near you I'll lose
myself in utter darkness.
You will be pulling me inside,
to eat my entity, my spirit.
I won't be ever near you.
That's my final decision!

The May Flower Tree
I was walking lone there,
Where we once had been.
I sought the house we lived in,
In the lush lush green.
Perhaps inmates out, I thought,
As none I could see.
She has been haunting ever,
Where's May Flower Tree?
Looked around and discovered,
Ah! she lost her grace!
Hugged her with my eager hands,
Alone at that place.
Touched her old bark earnestly,
Felt the touch of past.
Childhood cried in deep deep pain,
Days crept in we passed.
Suddenly the tree turned green,
The Sun shone brightly.
I saw the May Flower Tree,
An emblem of Infancy!

For Whom My Heart Rings?
When I was a kid,
I couldn't live
without my mom.
I was eager to hold,
my mom's loving arm.
I loved to have,
caress from my dad
when he was at home.
I cried a lot, when
he went to roam!
Then I grew younger,
Left for study my house.
So, I spread myself out.
At school, in college,
My feelings did sprout.
Then I got in my
lovely married life,
And gifted with a child.
My emotion thus got condensed,
as restless becomes mild.

Sand Dunes
Stretched far and wide,
Are the piles of sands
The waves of wind creates
Thousands at a time and
Thus recreates another with
The strong sway, making fool
The beholder mingles one
With the other, I look for
The first one, lose the second
Third and innumerable...
Turns the number, but
None to be mine one and
Only sand dune, my footprint
Runs to be one with the other,
Gets nothing, only a whirling,
A very clear whirling of sand
Breaking one after another into
Gulleys and again into dunes.
I also turn to be a dot, in the
Sea of sand, a mere dot!

Which Costume Do you Put On?
Which costume do you put on?
A wolf's skin in human body,
or, you are a fox under skin of lion?
or a mere, fun-loving buddy?
They say you are Vampire
with sharp Canine set of tooth.
you suck blood with fire! ! ! !
They say, you are enemy of truth! ! !
Every sec you change your costume.
Truth gets twisted in your tongue,
You have in your heart thousand room,
and there tune of falsehood is sung!
Do not invite me to be guest there.
I'm afraid of your kind of hollow-man.
I like to stay innocent and fair.
Rather, I'll stay away, so far I can!

When I was..
When I was a kid,
I couldn't live
without my mom.
I was eager to hold,
my mom's loving arm.
I loved to have,
caress from my dad
when he was at home...
I cried a lot, when
he went to Rome!
Then I grew younger,
Left for study my house.
So, I spread myself out.
At school, in college,
My feelings did sprout.
Then I got in my
lovely married life,
And gifted with a child.
My emotion thus got condensed,

I Ain't Ready...
I ain't ready to reply,
Such a question which,
I don't want to be asked.
It's tough to answer
A person who's behind masque!
We, burn so many things,
In fire, but fire, never gets burnt.
From nature, and my parents,
I have had learnt.
Cherish I to be the flame,
To remain in a blaze.
Every wrath I'll turn to ash,
There won't be any rage.
I can't hurt the part of God,
As you are, thus I think.
Life is a mere story,
Which may end in a blink.
I beg light for all
Those souls who forgot to pray.
Lets borrow pure light,

To Sunprincess
Dear Princess,
I know, some pains can't be
cured, I know, your mind
is burdened with sorrow.
Yet, smile at life my babe,
smile at life.
It will be winter here,
the season, Fall is near...
The leaves of some trees
will fall one by one,
withered, unable to do
photosynthesis......
Some will stay and
mesmerize us with their red
hearts, with bleeding parts...
Let us live in meditation
like them, in the memory,
of the fallen ones.....
As they are our kins,
the bygone days, the
