An Oath

Amongst the vast beauty,
in the beauty of nature,
standing between stiff hill,
below the restless river,
I took an oath, in the name of god.
I won't let my love go,
without any proper worth,
how covetous it be though.
I'll change your wildness,
your untamed desire of life.
Turning you to a gentle doll,
I'll take all your strife.

There Is A River

There is a river,
A few can see it...
It flows, in your heart of
Hearts, with it's every beat.
It's water is melted love,
It's bed is a flowery wreath.
A credulous mind can perceive,
This is true, not an old myth.
River says, to be torrent,
To stop means to be stagnant...
The moss will grow, to slow
Its course, to make it poignant.

Can't Carry The Agony

I can't carry the agony,
anymore, tangled I
am hung between life and death,
I wanna die.
The pain which aches,
my burning cell...
I can't control it,
I try, I fail,
to hold my fate.
But, I advance on
the way to hatred.
Caught by a demon,
on Net, I dash against,
the roaring sea.
My sights are blurred,
I can'see, the shore near me!

I Neither Love You

I neither love you,
nor hate you....
can't stay, can't leave.
I'm in great fever-
I want to flow,
wish to glow,
dashing against reef,
but, I am not a river.
I desire to be wind,
to get entwined,
forcing clouds to give,
their drops on me to shiver.
I can't touch,
can't go much,
but, feel a kind of grief,
as I can't be yours ever!

This Life Is A Station

This life is a station,
where we are waiting
for another train
to take us away from
here to our final
destination, our extreme goal.
Among us some are honest,
Some dishonest, some pure
and a few in between these....
The spiritually void souls,
The cheats, the sinners
the saints, the commoners, kings
all are waiting for their trains.....

Came Dancing

They came dancing, throughout the day,
And danced on the floor of my mind's way.
'Hey, ho'-they called each other, and slept,
In the midnight, I heard they all wept.
'Set us free, we don't want to be caged more.'
They said and I freed them on the shore.
They were my imprisoned poetic imagination.
They are now swimming in the poem's ocean!

Chase Me, Chase Me

Chase me, chase me,
Chase me like the wind!
Save me, save me,
Save, don't get me ruined.
I wanna thee,
It is my plea….
Don't leave me alone,
All along, Oh! Me.
Chase me, chase me,
Chase me as the wave.
Roll me, roll me,
With thy love to save.
Swing me, swing me,
Swing my pumping part…
Touch me, touch me,
With your touch of art!

Mask

When I needed a healing touch,
I found no one around,
I knew to grow what got was much.
I fought to prove me sound.
But now I am a budding tree,
I have some masks around;
They praise, they smile, they come to see
They raise me to a mound.
I keep false smile, put on a gracious mask,
I know, they know the thing, but they do never ask! !

If You

If you lift your index finger
to someone, you must know,
the four others are towards you.
If you don't have the courage,
to face one, don't try to
humiliate him under the guise,
of a person whose mask disturbs you.
My face will then turn into,
another mask, may be worse,
than yours, then where will you
hide your ugly face and utterance?

We Live Carefree With Two Bond Slaves

We live carefree,
With two bond slaves,
Only Life and Death.

You know someday,
We must meet Him.
I have that Faith.

If in this life;
We stay selfish,
Are we human?

Motherland cries,
'Save me my Son, '
The Call clarion...

What for this life?
Cocooned at Home,
With tongue in cheek?
