Bloom Where They Are Planted

Let bloom my desires,
where they are planted.
I know that each prayer,
can not be granted.
But, give me the serenity,
to stand the thing I can't change,
I cherish to gather, the courage-
to convert something strange!
Shower the wisdom upon me,
so that I can judge the difference....
what is better layer of life,
must be nourished carefully hence!

Room No Zero

Had there happened anything
Fishy, I mean messy?
On 9th September,
atmosphere was sombre,
election counting was
going on, the first
round of the 1st,2nd
was declared but,
the result of the
room no zero could not
be declared....
The number of voters were less
than the counted ballot papers!
They were winners, the
friends of the suspicious seven!

Softly I Called You

Softly I called you
many times.
Wanted to tell,
my cute rhymes.
You turned your face.
For many days I waited
for you--
until the grass
filled with dew.
You showed disgrace!
Sorrow burdened
stayed back I.
Couldn't tell
my eyes were wet why.
life was then in mess.
When you thought,
you came.
Everyday just to
put on me blame,
try to see my friend's trace.

The Stars Are Precious

They can't come near to us.
The Stars are very precious.
They twinkle at clear night,
can't see them in daylight.
we weave a story of heaven,
with the tale of stars seven.
The Warrior Star keeps vigil,
the day's light breaks until.
The milky ways, make our dream.
While sleeping, our grief they trim.
They can't come down to us.
The stars are very precious.

Seven Lies

Seven lies are under
The seven deadly sins.
It will throw your soul
On thousand sharp pins;
You make the shower
Of false, false words.
You are a liar, I found
Playing Tarot Cards.
Tarot card is itself
My pure prism mind.
It doesn't act before,
It plays behind.
You know the conscience,
Is our the best teacher.
You yourself preach but
You are a dumb preacher!

Shadow Me

Shadow me oh my
Dark emotion.
Shadow me all the way!

Shadow me to rock
In cradle heart,
To sway and just to sway!

Shadow me as a
Shady love tree,
In my hot, scorching day!

Shadow me must in,
Middle of night,
Like a gleaming pure ray!

Shadow me, shadow,
My foggy love,
Shadow wild me to tame.

Dissect My Heart

I can't collect the
oozing blood of my
faded heart---
I can't breathe either.
Dissect it or divide
into smithereens.
My head bowed in shame,
No more need I to be smeared.
As Lord Shiva torn corpse of
the goddess in fifty one
pieces to show his tumultuous
anger out of bereavement,
tear me, O Lord! !
dance like Nataraja
in the rhythm of tempest,
Do Tandava! ! !

I Never Lost Hope

The fight within and,
The outside fight,
Made me a monk…..
My soul got bright!
I felt word near,
Meant nothing to me,
I needed door open
They closed to see.
But, I never lost hope…
Never did I blame
My drowing lot.
I was happy, with,
the end where I was brought.
I kept burning the light,
My soul watched it.
My heart said Yes,
With its every pure beat!

Home

I take a walk everyday,
To reach my Destination.
But I can't get to it anytime,
It gets away from my vision.
I know Hills play, such trick always,
I know the sky does the same,
But my destination that I want to go
Is playing the mirage game?

I say 'No' to my skeptical mind,
Say 'Yes' to start the walk.
The home I can not ever find.
I blame my ailing luck!

Now

You can't say now, now,
now, to do every work.
If you are in mid sea,
can you then embark?
Now to go, now to come,
now to drive away,
now to welcome.
Now to embrace,
now to fight,
now I'm wrong,
now you are right.
Now is the word,
doesn't denote
always to be forward,
on life's gruff road.
Some actions
need time to wait.
Then life's goal,
will be rightly set.
