Evidence

“Who is responsible for this? ”
I wanted to question Him
When I entered His realm
I found ‘guilt’ in His eyes! Yes!
He is hurrying to daub on some......
evidence! Well! Well! I could guess
On the right lower brim
Of large messy earth canvas
He is erasing…….. His name! !

Walking Tall

I'm going stronger and stronger
I'm growing taller and taller
With each and every failure I savor
With the wounds on my naked heart I preen
Like a lofty tree with Axe-made hews
That stops not sprouting new leaves
Nor buildings it's trunk's thews
Nor doling out, for free, sweet fruits

God

One says there is ‘NO’ God
One shows the skies
And says ‘YES’
And jokes one clever modern
“I WISH He is there”

As one who’s neither a Leftist
Nor a Rightist
Nor even a go-in-between
I visualize
In every YES, NO, WISH and CONFUSION
His visage with glowing beams
And mocking grins

My Questions

When my love was just a trickle
And my mind was still fickle
I had one question
“To live
With you?
Or without you? ? ”

Once our love was settled
Our hearts and thoughts mingled;
And our souls melded
I have only one question
“Without you;
To live?
Or not to live? ? ”

Sathya….

Nostalgia

What’re you doing O’ my friend
at those chilling shores of Ganga?
Gathering today, morrow’s nostalgia?

Let me share those moments;
taste your ecstasies.
On that future day when you fall into oblivion
let me recall those lost flashes and waned out scents
and earn for you, your own stolen heavens.

Best Sellers

‘Five steps to success! ’
‘Become a millionaire
In just ten days! ’
‘A complete repertoire
Of mind powers! ! ! ’

Juicy titles! !
People buy
Spilling dollars
Read them
And throw them

Publisher announces
“Million copies sold”

The author grins
“I told you
It's easy to find
A million fools”

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)
