Gilttery lamps, Myriad diyas and light
Illumination pan India filled with delight
Whole nation splendent like lovely bride
The zest of fest spread far and wide
From northern mountains, western sands
To eastern coasts and southern islands
The spirit of triumph of good over bad
To dispel darkness like...

Happy Diwali friends

As golden orb descends in dainty steps to invite
black darkness to embosom the sky at night
on this joyful eve of 'The Festival of Lights, 
amidst dangling artifacts - a common sight, 
my simple clay diya radiates light so bright:
glowing and gleaming steadily despite

the exact origin 
muddled thru times
come every fall
from the Taj Mahal

I'll weave tulsi trinkets, celebrate divine sight~

HANUKKAH
Festival of Lights/ Feast of Dedication,

As a kid, Hanukkah
was the Jewish replacement for Christmas,
But even better!
We celebrated for eight nights,
Which meant eight presents!
It was the festival of lights

We ate latkes or potato pancakes, 
We Played with spinning tops called driedels
Sang the driedel song
Opened one present...

Remember dewali in Trinidad
We use to decorate the streets
Then all my Hindu friends 
Bring me foods and sweets

My table was full with
Food and all kind of goodies
Because my Hindu friends
Use to bring so much for me

Dewali marks the return
To ayodhya of lord Rama
He returns to...

From the sharp corners of the towering residence,
In perfect linear angles, the shadows slice the concrete path.
The blue party lights add ghostly vigour.
Brown hands toil, browned by rigour.


They dance around in rhythmic pandemonium
Through the murky cavities of the macabre residence.
Yet perfect silence prevails resolutely,
Stabbing vacuous...

From the time, I had this dream
I remember the stars I had seen,
And the splendor of lights passing
Between a brand new day awakening.
They came on tour to fill our eyes,
with the grandest festival of lights.
Dancing of knights enthralling delights.
Lanterns glowing on the fiery flight.
Their blankets...

The darkness vanishes with lights gleaming
And the mind cheers up with good looming
The evil fades away with brightness arising
The festival of lights heralds with its tidings.

Darkness and ignorance move hand in hand
Fastening the soul to never-ending command
Thus obstruct its progress on the path eternal
Hence one...

Autumn comes up 
brining with it football
   and leaves of gorgeous hue 
As the season fades 
  it is time for the festival of lights 
Burning candles symbolize 
a struggle begun 
   a millennium or two age 
A victorious struggle...

On Sunday the Festival of Light begins 
Everyone does not know what that stands for 
So I'll explain 
It celebrates a revolt against oppression 
by the Israelites 
against cruel rulers 
who refused to let them 
practice their faith 
The people of Israel triumphed 
Led by...

These days of the year
  of darkness darkest
When longest nights are here

The sun sets early, rises late
  the moon is on the wane
In 2020 COVID adds more pain

Enter Chanukah, the Festival of Lights
  each new candle burning bright
Piercing the darkness for eight...
