Push Your Secrets To Desolate Corners

My dear girl!
Have i not bared my heart to you
How i surrendered my will and all
At the daring but sublime darts
From the two bold stars of her face
Sending silent vibrant invitations
To the festival of eternal spring in heaven?
How i suffered insurmountable pain for months
As destiny took her loving heart away
Loaded with my pain to another blessed soul-
You came into my life just then
As a fresh bloom with startling innocence,
When the great physician 'time'tried
All its medicines in its armoury
To cure me the sickness of her doting eyes-
You had been the time's nurse
Applying kindness on my wounds
And showed me there is a life beyond disaster-
Why then is a silent tremor in your heart
That denies me the holding of your palms

I Am Greatly Perplexed

i am greatly perplexed

&

i am greatly perplexed-
the unbearable burden is squarely on my head
crushing me into smithereens-
it was accumulation madness in youth
receiving gifts in plenty, all in repetitions-
most glittering but utterly useless-
my purse then was bottomless
my desires soaring endless heights
and proud of my vanity acquisitions-
at the exit gate of my life
all shout at me clamouring protection
from the closed boxes' stifling darkness
never once breathing fresh air in years-
of what use were they for me
except to occupy entire lofts?
o how to dispose of these worthless stuffs

Mother! You Could Not Have Left Us.

Mother..!
You could not have left us from this world
Though you met with that final knock of death ten years ago,
All the time lamenting ' I have lived my life fully
And seen all its pains and pleasures
In their barest attires and unadulterated attitudes
And I should not be a burden to any of my children
Riding on cursed bed, cooking ever thoughts in hazy visions
On helpless bones and loosened muscles.....! '
I could deeply infer that you could not leave us,
So dear to you with your bonds on us so tight and strong!
Yes I know your heart could not rest content even in heaven
Without casting caring looks on all your posterity-
Yes Mom! I feel your strong presence hovering ever around me
Everywhere I tread on amidst all my trials and tribulations.
Your tight close look scares and disperses clouds of gloom to nowhere.
Yes mom! I am not alone, never alone
But in your invisible company charging me with hope!

When You Strolled Along My Heart.!

When you strolled along
the streets of my heart
the southern breeze-
did it not shower stars in billions
all along your paths?

If alone the seeds of your eyes
to fall upon my heart-
would not my mind all at once
ascend into deep space
to pluck shiny stars
to garland your fairy soul?

In the momentary tremors
at the corners of your eyes
my aeons went tottering in their strides!

The thirst that welled up in my heart
longed deep for the droplets of
your sidelong glance!

To Tell You The Truth..

to tell you the truth..
&
to tell you the truth bluntly
he expects a comforting word
whenever he opens email
on posting his creation-
once in a while he gets it for works
'not masterpieces' in his view-
the sterling works go uncared-for!
the mind dejected, winds up his interest
the gloom sets in his heart-
thinks the world is very cruel
and a great riddle beyond him-
none about him has the taste-buds
for the dream-receipes made of lovely words-
who cares for a poet with dreamy eyes
fashioning thoughts on intricate moulds?
he is lonely, so lonely with his monitor
and the ' clucking ' keyboard
that translates his thoughts from finger-hits-

Prankster Par Excellence!
An expert Cheat!

Weaknesses of heart
Marvellously master! -
In unquenchable screams
Subdue my will
To win your schemes!

Art of weeping! -
' Are you the Creator? '
Sans tears
Prolong your cries!

With lies upon lies
A lie is covered;
So wrap your mischiefs
With mischiefs more!

O My Love and Would Be! Where Were You Born?

O my love and would-be!
Where were you born?
In which land..which place..which street?
Are you younger..or equal or older to me?
Have you begun your search of me as I now?
Have you broadcast your mysterious signals in space
As my signals grope for yours all over the world?
What you expect of me..wealth or charm
Or strength...or love or status?
What are your dreams of life?
Would we make up a match?
Or fate tricks two diverging hearts into a choking knot?
I stray in every direction clueless and tired..
Sound your bugle loud and bold?
Even a faint call of love would add wings to my soul...
O that precise moment!
For what you await lurking in shadows...
No more breath to subsist on my dreams..
The heart aches..the wait scorches..
The loneliness licks my blood..

My Dad, My Pride Ever!

A Tribute To My Dad
-------

Not exploded in triumphs;
Nor crumbled in failures-

Within your meagre income
Gave us all noble lives-

Sweating hard in sincere efforts
Gained ever garlands of tributes
From one and all throughout your life-

Your strides matched
A tightly strung bow;
Or the hurrying arrow
From a bow of honesty-

Your straight look
Was the roll of a chariot

My Equation Is One Gain To Two Losses

my equation is one gain to two losses!

before my stunned gaze!

the bubbles of dreams of yesterdays

yes, they are buds of reality now!

i ask myself million times

' is it true? am i awake and conscious?

A Buddah Is Born In Me

a buddha is born in me

&

every morning
a 'buddha' is born in me

as a clear babbling stream
are all my meditated thoughts-

the roots of worries
like mirror reflections-

the moon-beam of life
at a reachable distance-

i gaze into myself
in perfect perspective -

and visualize myself
