Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
An innocent girl with a ton heavy Saree
was wedding’s most looked up Naree
she had, or was on make up it was difficult to identify
ceremonies lined up; she gave her best try
good for nothing ladies gave arrangement a curse
groom's dad was quiet; mother busy filling purse
saali's tantrum made jija feel shy
mama and chacha were already so high
ladies’ delight at the function of mehandi
dadi and bua enjoyed pedicure for free
bride was busy since last afternoon
a lottery, a jackpot for the nearby saloon
she couldn’t speak coz of layers of make up
dada was busy in his own world of gup shup
kids were enjoying the bumpy mickey game
aunties were talking and believe me it was lame!
everyone's eyes were glued to the clock
food area got opened; crowd ran like a flock
guests dint knew the groom or the bride
they come-eat-go, maintaining their 'pride'
joota churai collects handsome money for saalis
poor tambu waala was bombarded with gaalis
till the time of feras everyone is asleep
then starts vidaii - 'a dream session to weep'
at last comes, the family session of tear shedding
these tadkas and masalas cook a perfect Indian wedding!

Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
A black for you a white I say
You had a chance now u stay!
I walked a step for silence echoed
You took a move , A Grey erode…
I walked straight you jumped over me
I stood in front for you to see
You beveled me to reach to the king
the way you killed my shields of wing
The king may be the one you aim
All he can walk is limited to a frame!
Twas your move, now no going back
You stop it all where I lack
If twas a game, well played!
If a mistake; checkmate!
One had to win for all you roared
I wish we’d stayed out of the board.

Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
Light of sun on a bright sunny day
kindle us up, throughout the way
Its retaliating nature was never seen before
I paused and thought, but it wasn’t its chore
Reminding me of my life: a puppet show
scrolling through the tunnel, sun refused to glow
The more I walked the more I was soaked
more than thirst, memories were choked
Nearby shed was not any near
sun at ’12’, body full with tears
at ‘3’ ahead of me was a small short eat
a place full packed, long waiting for a seat!
My token asked me to wait for a while
story of my life: – papers with no file!
then a loud man shouted my name
I got a table for two at a corner under frame
A women was asked to share my occupance
and there was my mind crossing the fence!
She was the one from grass huts
yet she was happier ‘no if’s, no but’s’
I was not quenched with whatever I had
but her bowl of soup could made her glad
I was the one with ‘everything’
but she was the one with ‘every’ thing!
She suddenly saw the sadness in my eyes
“what happened?” she asked in a deep voice
I told her about my broken heart, in tone of a dead
I told her about the tears I have shed
Leaving the place she came towards me
hugged me and said “Life is too short to be sad”
the stunning thing I saw apart from my nags
she was full of life, even with ‘both wooden legs‘.

Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
Ruffled for starters, confusion on the rocks
a colloquy for beginners as scattered as blocks
the more you think, the more you think more
away from yourself you weaken your core
Nothing was taught, they calculated it all
thrown from a cliff: not expected to fall!
a sign or an indicator would have sufficed
I wish there was somebody by my side
Words were flowers, I played with petal
like a plant you hold inside a nubilous metal
confidence reflected with replete pride
I wish there was somebody by my side
Qualities were belittled, expectations on list
I shook hand; they used fist!
smile was applauded; silence when I cried
I wish there was somebody by my side
A life of pain brought happiness surprise
an amazing new world reflected me wise
moment of truth stayed shallow and wide
I wish there was somebody by my side
Words were choked, feeling subsided
nothing got touch what’s already resided
I hankered them to see what’s inside
I wish there was somebody by my side
They went small, elevate to the big
looking for reality in a bald man’s wig
I then growled for things I abide
In a hope to get somebody by my side
The energy I gained, I realized, I had
I kept smiling closest to sad,
for a joyful life wherever I reside
just a few hands I ask by my side

Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
I am a girl and today I take a pause
a deep long pause!
I may be a mother, wife or say a daughter
If I exist in future for all you bother!
Says Mother– I gave you birth!
I understand if you don’t realize its worth
“I love you my child”, a lot in fact
can I just ask for a little respect?
Says Sister– I grew up with you!
we always shared the toys that were new
you were offered luxuries on a platter
restrictions on me, My dreams were to shatter
Says Wife – I left my house to live with you!
to teach you the meaning of family & love
you claim me, that’s all fine
being remotely controlled was no dream of mine
Says Daughter– I gave you joy of beauty!
Imposing on you inhibition & duty
I have a dream so let me live now
your ‘trader’ will take me someday anyhow
To say now I have nothing to say
I am not safe wherever I stay
cycle of life revolves around me
the paddle you whirl as good as for free
Some promise me ‘Moon-ingful’ emotions
those who fail try forcible actions
I die then live, then live to die!
minutes of pleasure, a lifetime to cry!
I have a warning, as I am not scared now:
you like ‘Me’, then I am the best!
you like ‘Mine’, go take some rest!
If I can create, I can erase
The bird now soars for an infinite chase

Amrit Raj Kapoor Poem
I wasn't wrong, neither was I right!
wished, never desired
quaffed, never cried
Worthless, made to believe
painted mirrors, began to imitate
preached, implied nothing.
Shouted, in a silent voice
words, just made noise
Sentence, mere alphabets!
Devoted and deviated
Sufficed yet suffocated
Wasn't myself still tried
One day shall define, what's right!
