Silence

The beautiful language 
converse in noiseless notes.
Diving,dancing,
swimming and singing
Spreading its rhythm 
on its transparent strings.
Voice of silence 
crisp as frost, 
clear as mirror
and articulate everything 
in its perfect tranquility.
In front of silence 
words are wrecked 
as shattered alphabets 
like broken pearls.
It screams and pleads 
for an integration 
just to fail and fall 
on its fight of its own.

Sculpture

I am an unknown sculptor 
I am in love with the clay 
of your unfinished pristine statuette.

Pearls of Tears

In the wee hours 
when night bid adieu
sleep still residing in the lashes 
refusing a formal withdrawal.

The canvas of horizon 
turned an abstract painting
when soft rays of golden hue 
sketch freshness of morning.
A stroll through the meadow
while sipping the dawn of wine
I paved darkness with my glance 
as my whole being was in trance.
The moment was splendour 
and I was in real wonder.
I saw tiny dew drops shed 
from the bosom of nature.
It spreads on grass tips 
as dancing glisten of pride.

Each droplet dangling with poise
Soberly carry a melancholic voice.
Their discreet pain goes unnoticed 
as their beauty is hypnotized.
But their agonies often unheard 
midst of fuzzy wind that is loud.

Despite, the muted sob conveys their woe
‘How they cling onto their fragile life’?
Did anyone ever notice?....

Aurora and Avalanche

Avalanche of thoughts 
Flooding and tossing 
in the cold valley of mind. 
It attacks by uneven edges 
in all the seasons insensitively.

A sincere wish 
to silence this tumultuous..
I sought refuge for an arena 
where thoughts hardly exist.
The strongest desire made me 
fall onto the lap of aurora.
The delicate calmness sucked 
the coldness of clamor 
that was deafening.

A soothing sensation 
I felt never before. 
Unattached completely 
from everything, everyone.
The light, lightness and joy
I experienced is beyond words. 

I could feel invisible wings 
taking me to higher levels.
on the wings of aurora. 
The luxurious tranquility
leading to fireworks 
of blissful moments.

I wish to remain there forever 
While making it as my eternal abode..!

Let Few

Let few dangling words be unsaid
Let them remain unspoken
For if all is said what will remain?..

Let few painful feelings be unexpressed
Let then remain in the heart
For if all is expressed what will remain?..

Let few bitter tears be unshed
Let then remain in the eyes..
For if all is shed what will remain?..

Let few awesome mysteries be unveiled..
Let them remain in our life..
For if all is revealed what will remain?..

A Poets Petition

Whole being is sprouted 
with foliage of unwritten verses.
In eloquence vibration of the recitation is heard.
Impregnated passion of the poet pursue 
for a benign aesthetic poetic indulgence.  
A poet is forlorn and weighed down by insatiable urge
when unfinished poems trembling on the finger tips.
A poet is euphoric and randomly writes 
Silhouette of classics as if doped 
to conquer hearts by indelible imprints.

On full moon nights often he inhales the mist of moon 
He listens to the whispers of stars and universe.
As a drunkard he gulps the ecstasy of ocean 
and sleep serenely on the canopy of sky in aloof. 
In spite, a hidden heralded purpose flame
his instinctive longing which is more than 
just to saturate mere literary thirst.
The embedded vow of a poet refuses to succumb
Until, he signs his petition with his soulful blood.
For his blessed pen is a tool to voice and to escalate 
the quandary of humanity by resigning 
the reigning discrimination and injustice. 
For he is capable of assimilating the vintage of virtues.
He is bestowed with sensitivity to gasp what his senses grasp 
so never miss the unseen woes that drips as pearls of tears.
His ink never dries out of worshiping humanity and justice,
nor he is satisfied of admiring beauty, love, joy and peace.
For he is not only a poet but a destined warrior who fights  
the tyranny of terrorism and razor casteism and racism with pen.
The soul of a poet is stirred whenever a woman’s respect is robbed
so his poetic prowess tries for a paradigm shift to regain her pride.

Before he wraps in his holy wrath 	
Before any hand tears his loyal petition	
He assures to write and write until the judgement day comes.
It is a poet’s petition he meditated upon every moment.

Fireflies of Time

Fragments of moment 
paddling swift and frenzy
through layers of present.
Filaments of passing time
wafting in evanescence
to get folded in the memory. 

Oh fragile life 
you are the remnants 
etched in the illusion
squeezing frail reality 
from misty ruckus
in mysetrous shade.

Beneath azure sky 
On the bank of transience
rest, numerous existence 
embedded with myraid dreams 
and shed desperate selves
as fireflies hugging flames..

Autumn Moon

On the invisible screen
upon celestial wings
twilight of autumn moon
swinging gracefully 
wooing millions and zillions. 
	
At times she veils behind 
passing clouds teasing
all the admiring glance.
Her raiment sways poetically 
removing darkness from night.

She personifies romance
in the distinct of distance
flashing clandestine smile.
She is every poet's dream
Who loves to cherish 
her charisma in silence.

Every onlooker is in trance
when the dazzling display of vision 
disrobes all illusory fantasy.
She envisages piousness. 
A poesy beyond lyrical form
shines eternally in perfect milieu.

Rendezvous With Nature

Sky is shivering in the hazy attire

thousand sun’s rays unable to undress the mist.

Desire for a cajoling warm embrace

melt through passing clouds as dilemma.

 

Moon rays descending in the night

Under the lee it giggles as dreams.

The legend plays peek-a-boo in the distance

walking zigzag through clouds in hazy glimpse.

 

In the Orion, horizon is busy changing gown

where night is sleepy and the lashes blinking as dusk.

With all sensuality dusk drinking red wine of sinking sun

as if quenching the thirst of the sweaty afternoon.

 

In the celestial background fusion is playing

Ocean breeze singing ballads of love in the mirth

Thunders and lightening having orgy in the hush

moments exploding in the shadow of ecstasy.

Birth of a Poem

On a leisurely indulgence,
An innocuous volition creep,
And stimulate my senses.,
I remained agog for a while!

Myriad thoughts jostle in,
Refraining, refreshing,reforming
With neither rest, nor respite.,
I remained stoic for a while!

My sigh travels across a mile,
Towards the destination afar,
Perhaps with a yearn so dear.,
I remained restive for a while!

Midst of an intense silence,
I embrace my desire slyly,
Sway away my fears aside.,
I remained bold for a while!

In that moment of oblivion,
An artistry realm wide opened,
Onto a surface invisible,
I remained invincible for a while!

My heart sings,my soul dances,
When my fingers merged the flow,
Of unsaid words to the obvious.
I remained ecstatic for a while!!
