Frozen Vapours

Heavily overcast sky
With dark clouds
Gentle piercing wind
Rattles oaks, deodhars and pines
Whispers to rodhodendrons
Bloom time not far behind
Birds to safe havens fly
With spring
Again to arrive
Oaks, deodhars and pines
And apple trees
Not far behind
Greet the frozen vapours
With a warm smile.

Non Persons

Creator is supreme,
In atheism, who believe?
Creations
One and all
Even whose purpose
Brains fail to gauge
Bits they lend
Bit by bit
Huge unifying bond
Holds everything in place
On this globe and outer space
Mutely who stand and wait
At times contribute
Far greater than those who participate.

Assimilate

As easy for water
To trickle down
Easier for habits
Bad to be conjured
Once conjured
Easier to assimilate
Not afraid of further falls.
Making sacrifices big and small
Attain heights
Where, vice
Merely in thoughts
Pricks the conscience
Forewarns of fall
Of which
Soul would find
Difficult to absolve

Death Ii

Did one and all
In numbers galore
Left their chores
Assembled at shores
Think of throe
Gathered for more
Health, peace, kids, life, money they adore
And his blessings of course
Had something else in store
Inferno at Dabwali, Baripeda
Choked at Mecca
Stampede at Haridwar
Biers
Or beacons of life they are

Mango Grove

Dark green canopy
Of mango trees
On terraced fields
Traverse
In the month
When trees
In romance blend
Butterflies of all hues
In jocund mood
Bright sunshine
In shadow of thick clouds
Buzzing bees
Swaying with gentle wind
Spread fragrance
Of sprouting buds
Below
The field
Covered with
Carpet
Lush green.

Birth Of A Stream

Exhausted
Cannot add to its weight
Allows the golden rays
Help shed its weight
Gathers courage at its base
Embraces and moves in embrace
Imbibing the qualities of yore
Hopping as a Dear in the Ashram
Free from fear
In joyous mood
Blindly makes a flush
That youthful vigour
Pristine and majestic in content.

U-Turn

Whom
He has endowed with traits
Haven't they betrayed his faith
Gave her the state
To recreate the race
Wickedly
Flaunts those traits
In the material race
Head on
Clashes with natural process
Thus ensures
Her lead in the mad rush
Objectives divine which she was to serve
No more than a commodity in lurch.

Brain

Lord giveth the brain
To be sane
Which we all
Have profaned.

Made amongst us
Few insane
Mirrored reflection
For the sane.

But this brain
Of the sane
Has become
A source of bane.

Boon!
For him
Who
Lacks the brain.

I Equal To You

Till egotism reigns
I is supreme
Not look'eth beyond it
The powers to look beyond it
Will not be gained
Egotistical approach when shed
The I relegated
Caring you become
For those around
When reciprocal this current
A movement becomes
I will be taken care of
Consciously and sub-consciously
By known and unknown.

Rotten Mind Set

The run
Be physical
Mental
Social
In any sphere
Unseen crunch
Vaccum
Filled
With deadly thoughts
Relishing on painful acts
Beast when maims a fellow being
Fellow beings when fight it out
And blood when oozes out
Beast in man
Overpowers the saint
Wins accolades
Even from those
Not remotely
Related with the episode.
