Infectious

Your simile is
Incredibly infectious
It resembles
Something contagious

These swipes on to
Majority of people
Coming in your contact
Unaware, unnoticed
And unprepared

Yet catching
The infections of smile
Spontaneously
And happily!

True Self

I feel like laughing
Looking at the sorrow
On your own face
While lighting my pyre

Your deadly weapon of words
Wounded me everyday
And I bore the heat
Of their killer heat

Today, I am senseless
So why, why the sorrow?
Repeating only your true self
Before everyone here
As you always did
When I was alive too!

Non-existent

Your accusation
Shook and shattered me

I was waiting for
The dream moments
You shocked me

I lost my sleep
For reason of your prejudice
I felt like an infant
Woken up with scare

Perhaps you also are
In dilemma and confused
About you prejudice

And yet you decide
To seek revenge from me
For reasons non-existent!

Balancing Education

Modern generation
Today‘s children
Only busy with them

Mobile phones
Television and games
But no ‘tele-vision’

Educated and intelligent
But less humane
Energetic and enterprising
But selfish to the core

Willing to slog, struggle
But not a helping hand
Want to live the life well
But no community feelings

Belong to the World
But not to their nation

Leitmotif

I thought it was never compulsive
Yet you tried to be the exclusive
Your behavior sure was talkative
That alone cannot be the positive
You found all people as negative
Your insinuations were abrasive
The aspirations were possessive
Histrionics were again successive
Yet my response was cooperative
Anyways I had no other motive
But was trying the ways creative
And to avoid being too narrative
Leitmotif was only being positive

River and Ocean

The ocean said to the river
Come join august company
Of those trying to be bigger
I am happy with my being
The river replied promptly
The ocean laughed out loud
My dear river you beware
Doesn’t matter who you are
When you join me anyways
Your identity also gets lost
Your sweet water loses taste
Only I remain here for sure
I’m not sweet yet get bigger
That’s what you believe
But deep inside me around
There is a whole ecosystem
With beautiful colors of life
Together we shall nurture it
Join me and be part of it all!

Maha Sati

Maha Sati*

She grew up
In a happy family
She sacrificed
All her ambitions
And every comfort
For the wellbeing
Of everyone in family

She was married
With some difficulty
For less Education
Her in-laws and spouse
Of a modest family!

She made no complaints
Tried to live happily
Whatever came her way
Destiny tested her
