Quit My Gardens, O Crows!

quit my gardens, o crows!
&
o noisy quarrelsome crows!
quit my gardens-
o birds of all feathers!
of different melodies!
of lonely bushes and thickets!
of far-away lands!
come here! visit me!
grace my gardens and groves!
nay, all yours, your heavens!
no, ours!
sing singly; sing in chorus!
melt in sorrowful strains;
and in joyous tunes!
but o hoarse-throated crows!
vacate my gardens
and retreat to the forest!

Query?

Query...?

A diamond screw
That drills into heads -

The sickle
That cuts weeds of doubt-

The plough tip
That furrows deep
The fields of knowledge-

A jumping hunchback
On the mind-dot-

Stooping cranes
Seeking solutions-

Born as dots
Grows into giants-

It Is On The Seashores The Languages Wither

it is on the seashores the languages wither.
&
the countless wavelets that snake on the sandy shores
generate the 'hahas' and the 'hohos' from the delighted kids;
sure i am, they know the sweet names of all these kids

and shake hands with toothy smile with the hiss of kisses abound
and liberal gifts of silvery shells, their worth the kids alone know!
it is on the seashores the languages wither in the blossoms of universal dance!

The Seeds of the Day.

The Moon...?
The loving eye of the Night!
The Sun...?
The majestic march of the Space.!
The Clouds..?
The dream clusters of the Skies!
The Winds..?
The friendly hands of the Nature!
The Water..?
The blood of the Greenery!
The Trees.?
The Earth's signature of victory!
The Birds..?
The Mind's chariot of flowers!
The Sky..?
The mighty shrinkers of the Macrocosms!
The Stars..?
The seeds of the Day sown
In the fields of the Night!

Hi..bird Of The Spring Season, What Is Your Name? [ Part-3 ]

O..Bird Of Spring! What Is Your Name? [part-3]

Oh..slender-waisted bird!
You pilot the snowy yacht of the melody
On the blue seas of the skies
As if a breeze on its dreamy flight!

What is that opening line
That is stitched to the melody
Which deftly rolls over and over
To sweetly blend and increase the bliss?

In the melody of your music
I scale the heights of ecstasy;
But with no way to its meaning
I suffer in deep anguish! .

I Am Clueless For Whom I Write!

In my knowledge I have no friends nor relatives

Nor those who welcome my works into their hearts;

But who knows such exist beyond my skies and seas

With their silent lips and lazy fingers?

Really I am clueless for whom I pen my works

But to unburden my heart that weighs me down

And for the dizzy kick that keeps me afloat

May there be a mirror-soul of me

That awaits in the dim distance far far beyond

For my songs to alight on its willing shoulders!

Must I Have My Next Birth, O Lord!

Must I have my next birth, O Lord!
But not again this human birth-

At the solemn moments of the holy dawn
Welcoming the light with their tuneful calls-

Leading a life guided by nature
Taking easy both joys and sorrows-

Gracefully gliding on the moist winds
Bathing in tiny rivulets with fluttering wings-

Building nests amidst dense foliage
And floating on flowers to taste juicy fruits-

Yes, must my next birth be of such a bird;
Grant me god such a simple boon!

My Mind, A Glass Mansion!

Darling!
My mind is a glass mansion;
I have coated it with liquid love.
All my thoughts are in your custody-
Your image in me
in billions of reflections!
O Girl!
A question?
One who resides in you...?
Is it me..ee?
No..no..
Don't reply..
Don't pick up that sharp stone,
'Not you! '
Do not shatter this mansion
into millions of splinters.
O..!
Let me light in your answerless love
thousands of lamps of hope;
Let my 'Krishnaa' melodies

The Kids Of The World Assemble...

the kids of the world assemble..!

&

the kids of the world assemble

at the edge of the seas,

hilarious in endless thrills

that sands and surf feed them with-

the seas reciprocate in more equal measure

to the charming calls and invite

of this innocent worriless world-

One Day I Know You Will..! ..

One day I know
you will take back my sight
you lent me at my entry
into your world;

Deeply therefore I look into
every creation-
macrocosoms and microcosoms-
and in my mind's endless arena
chisel exact replicas to defy time-

I will ever keep alive hence
of all the delights
through my sight and senses-

Yes.every song of your creation
and every fury of your destruction
will ever reverberate
in every corner of my heart
even after you withdraw
