kiss........

kiss........



blow of air freshen, clime of sadness
enraptured with euphoric joy felt
like being in seventh heaven, pall of gloom went to fade, grief & sorrows set to race,
whizzed as they vanished out of sight, with a word of vow as not to annoy & pester, never intrude if he, always be ever with her,
holding hands together, she kicked her demons of distress kissed temple of his, pledged never to be apart, held his hands tight with fondness & with a pour of lavish
affection, & whiff of air freshened her mood with high elation as he kissed in return. ....!

shower..........

shower...........



joyous with the forecasting
about likely rainfall, made
a run to feel the dampness
of cold air & stormy weather
heard a conversation & talk
sky roaring aloud thundered
with no downpour hold itself
back within clouds, enveloped
with an affinity rain wished
not to trickle, as every one down
on ground indulged in trampling
others with shower of bombs
and bullets, bathing in spills
of blood, no body cares of me, now
why would I, pour myself &shower,
let  human suffer, let human suffer.............!

capricious..............

capricious..........

roaming around like a vagabond

slipped into realm -vagaries & whims

fallen prey to lusty fleeting desires,

left company - kith & kin, to be alone

& enjoying self, sets out sans aims,

fancies remained deciduous, no sooner

did he caught attention of blueish eyes, capricious mood of his, came into order, realised beauty of lying head in the lap of beloved - best state forever........!

envy..........

envy.........


exuding fragrance
casting spell, she
passes, leaving
lingering ambrosial
effect, wish to seek
glimpse, men await
with popping eyes
swaying under
influence of redolence
cried over spilled
milk, as she approached
& left, kissing
a kid on forehead
to everyone's envying
for, the missed chance......!

peck......

Peck.....


peck on cheek
a walk alongside
holding hand
moving ahead
crossing obstacles
ebbs and tides
yonder, never I,
went bonkers
conquered
quelled, awkward
challenges, emerged
with flying colours
out of tests
put by life,
moved on with
smile on face
feeling still
the moment
reminiscing the
walking, slipping
in the sand
writhing in pain,
was taken I, into arms
pecked on cheek
boosted morale
raised I, holding
little finger,
resuming
walk,
enjoying,
the strolling
along the coast.,
with raising waves,
ripples of water,
she is no other
but my mother,
my energy booster......!

blaze.......

       
blaze......


        with day coming to end
       portal of night welcomed
      with opening doors, extend
        arms laced with embrace
           taking into transience,
          an impermanence and
         an instantaneous sleep
      with murmur falling into ears
      as something waking him up,
       hustled with rustle, as dream
         whispers a lullaby, whereby
          he gained consciousness
          left somnolence cognized
   what he missed out of recklessness,
careless attitude rude towards life, dude;
jolted with a falter remorse, deeds raised
in realisation & blazed with resplendence..!

walk...........

walk............


I
am
walking
alone on the
road, unable to
figure out where to
reach, miles to go, dark
creeps in,engulfing darkness
within, beats of heart, murmurs
as, I move along, walking on and on,
saunters, through lanes & by lanes,of ebbs
and tides, now a days, I'm not I am,
senses, not, in control of mine,
every part of mine belongs to
you cells, blood cells -WBC
RBC, even indulge in fight,
craving to be in union
with you, longing for
belonging, waiting
for the moment,
to merge in
unification, body & soul together.....!

here & there........


here and there, everywhere
you find signs, signalling
wrong and right, good and bad
hear voice, choose best choice
lest you not stumble, buckle
hold reins, keep yourself control
truckle you never to dirty desires,
as they backfires, resist, go-ahead
stop yourself advancing towards
red -the unworthy, a sign of danger
the green, worthy n pleasant,saunter
not with a falter lift up inside the inner,
at divine altar understand the signal,
good and bad, right and wrong,
you find here and there, everywhere.........!

               you, think yourself, alone
               in the maze, comes across
          crossroads, takes as, castaway
                scrambling on pathways
             where to head, where to set
            hold the foot, moves of yours
             makes you think you're on
       your own, to trudge & bear actions
         & reactions, pretty pleasantries,
     & pastures green., blues of loneliness
              a pessimistic sense, lands
           you, nowhere near meadows,
        you're not alone in the struggle
        life's puzzle,  look around find
           many, taking up battle, ne'er,
   gives up tries always to win, then why

    a hand, breath deep, step, forthwith
           look forward, forthcoming is
            your chance, take a prance
          feel the trance, rustle up mind
        listen to the sounds, life's music
         Moody morose jingles, as well
          as rocky, peppy numbers all
           together, a mixture of pain
        & pleasures, pain &pleasures....!

squall...........

         
squall..........


               hearing sounds,  of footsteps
             walking and tramping through
               heart of dense forest, rustles
     leaves dried,fallen withered by rough
               weather, whiff of fragrance
           comes to engulf, at call of breeze
                to greet n infuse freshness
              breathed her essence, freeze
          consciousness lost in romancing
                        dallying in moods
               fly around as wind blowing
         with chatters among themselves
                  steps of hers, approach
           lost peace, as squall - squelch.....!

her anger.............

her anger...........


curve & curls of her
hair tufted together
as her beloved came near
to feel the flow passing his finger
didn't him touch her
she is in state of anger
an otherwise nature of her
never once shook down her
trust on her partner
but as times passed by, her
belief proved to be a sour affair
knowing after,
he turned to be cheat, who exploited her
affection & love, realized wrong of her
cudgel her brain to brace herself up, - her
heart no more beats for
resolved, to let no man to come near
leaving frailty of her
took up arms against philander
led the cause taking
as many women as along to empower....!

chrysalis...........

​chrysalis.........

budding engraver he,
hardly his hands
picks the tool, as he

tremble with thoughts
lest making
a cut on stone, goes amiss

chiselled he, within the mind imagining
the shape of figure every
detail  - carved a wonderland, creating

a whole world of himself, fairy
creatures - elves and angels,
confined himself within enclosed  by

his naively nature, as he still learns
to lay his hands on rock
still far from holding implements

just entered to into adolescence, sock
of growth, blown up his
soul to take a route of dreamy fluke

as turning into adulthood - the age of his,
least wanted, to leave (chrysalism's) bliss....!

maternal...........

maternal.........


trill of bird tuned
with maternal instincts rippled
through the breeze, moved
along, waving its wings
headed towards its
nest, as nestlings
made a subtle and
soft coo, the sound
reached
it's ear as mellifluous
voice - singing lyrical songs, as
if young - calling the mother
to come early as its getting darker,
shivering with chilling weather
coos are getting stronger
as the bird, no where to be seen, near
worried with fear
least they know that the mother
made a halt in the middle
of the way to grab, as
many maggots as she could
to feed them sumptuous meal
reaching them, as soon, spread
its wings, given the warmth
to the young with a cuddle
enjoyed lavish dinner
all cheerfully
with chirping & dancing together.........!

redemption ..............

redemption..........


spewing she
venomous words
on, whoever she feels
disgust worthy

never once realised
she has no one to take care
unknowingly entangled in the web
enmeshed in labyrinth passages

struggled to come terms with, as she
gets aged, founding herself in aloofness
alone is she now and days of hers
are coming to end with she visualized

herself
being gobbled by a SPIDER
which noting but a pure imagination

reflection of her past ignoble deeds
spreading its tentacles
disguised as diseases,

arrested her to an arm chair
with she regretting her mistakes
as
"shouldn't have belittled
underprivileged"with the thought
she laid her head rest
and prayed

for redemption
but as if its call of divine
everybody surrounded, who she
lambasted at,  so far to serve

she opened eyes with a realisation,
as nobody  inferior or superior and
all are equal to the eyes of divine.......!

mirror...........

mirror.........



woke up from deep slumber
only to find a figure that's
exactly looking like her
as if,  its her alter ego,that's

asking her to come closer
to whisper a small word
to let her know a fair
calling is awaiting, favoured

by the fortune in near
future asking her to take
the chance and not to miss
at any cost lest she regrets

hearing the voice of figure
she approached it to touch
feel and hug in order to
thank the figure as it disclosed

a message that future holds
as a man of her heart taking
her hand moving together
setting themselves at a faraway
place,

as
she tenderly touched the figure
sensed nothing like a life of sort
its just a mirror that reflected, her
image to which she was talking so far........!

bluesky..............

bluesky..........


blue skies beckoning

with thoughts flickering,
wavering mind seeking

solace, made its way
to a secluded place, found
itself in midst of sea shore

where fishing boats laying
rest after a long trawling.,
strolling along shoreline
found a place where

the disquieted mind,
could be eased
looking at the cloudy sky
relaxing itself under the
shadow of anchored boat

listening to the sound
of waves emitting soothing
tunes harmonizing
the environs , mind sets
its eye lids close
to take a nap under

its the charm of intoxicating feel...........!

how.........

how.......


how could I
&
how would I
express my sincere thanks!
would I ever remain grateful!

to those who made see
the world as beautiful  place
through their guidance

the way I
take things granted
through their given knowledge
they made me stand on feet
and asked me & not to get afloat

building castles in the air

be practical
be responsible to the actions
& be determined to generate altruistic
regard for others

have patience, pity and compassion
seeing yourself a beautiful visage
unfolding in front of your eyes

let others smile as
source to be rejoiced at
with the conviction on suggestions

I set forth to the destination
a never ending passion
deriving satisfaction
as I walk through,

following
principles & ethics set by forefathers

I prostrate myself in their honour
asking "GOD"
allow me to extend my gratitude

to let me remain ever thankful
to the elders, peers
and all those, who travel
along with me through thick and thin

till & until I take my last breath...............!

beau............

beau............

as
his eyes
fell on her

the moment changed
his otherwise, morose mood
into cheerful with a cheery feel
his heart throbbed
as
flickers of flame
to make an advance
and take a chance
to grab her palm
and give a kiss

alas!
he missed the bless
as her beau, arrives

moved on, laughing at his
              luck - a mischance.............!

breeze......



                                  as
                              breeze
                         blowing mind
                 moving along listening
          rattling sounds of skirt as she
    dancing around enraptured & absorbed
within herself, with strands of her, hair braid                
 breaking free with wavy fashion & motion
  giving tantalizing effect, as if she is calling
 & asking me to make myself near to her to
      indulge in jiving together, I jumped at
   once, heeded inner calling, approached
 her to make a move along,  held her hand,
   whizzed and fizzled she through the air
       as she disappeared and vanished,
          raised I from the bed, rubbing
               eyes as dream finished
                    with me laughing
                     at myself, again
                        went to deep
                                 sleep

phase.........

phase..........


Dysphoric disposition
in a growing  child, unease
her mental condition, as she
entered a phase, where
she battles with unimaginable
encounter with questions that
irked her mind , prompting
her to seek answers, she looks
for plausible explanations as she
struggles through, at home and
outside, changes that take place
within and out, she tries
to counter the imbalance,
making herself acclimatize
by adapting the situation as
best as she can, by discussing
with peers & elders
& by taking advice from mothers
learns to deal with challenges
and manages to cross
several milestones
of life with beautiful strides.........!

nextday.........


evening calling
with sun dipping
itself in the horizon
bidding bye to catch
the people, on next day
with clouds floating
along against crimson
background,as folks
returning to their abodes
shaking their legs,
maneuvering steering
wheels, heading towards
home to prepare themselves
to be ready for the forthcoming
calling of, next day morning .........!
