Short Rivulet Poems

Can you tear a drop?
Rip it open, find sadness
Sombre rivulet...

rain falls on birds' nest
rain falls into rivulet
quiet birds are restless

Rivulet
      
       ripples

              mellifluously

       surreptitiously

lilt
            conflating

         into

a
demure 
lagoon...

You'll never desalt the sea,
                      Oh innocent water child !
                         Stream,
                         rivulet
                          river... !...

Side of street, melting
A rivulet to a drain
Swallows the glitter

Of shiny light spread
Over where there are footsteps
And breath is humbled

By the gushing splash
Of the giant yellow white trucks
That sweep the debris...

once up on a time
i lived here
standing on the same ant hill
years after
after a long time
still i smell the same flower
still i touch the same rivulet
still i feel the same love
thank you friends for being a part of me......

My fathers eyes are deep wells.
Byzantine, and full of old tears.
They plead with my across the echo of time.
With great hands he wipes away
A rivulet from his parched cheek,
And tells me, with the innocence of a child,
That he has been where I am....

Remembrance, you glance, glittering rise of
Rivulet moans. Voice cleared the chattering.
Body of bird brushing diurnal clouds.
Coming down and the stars to comfort you.

I sat 
upon a lonely hill
as the sound of rivulet and
breezes toned a bamboo string
perfectly with birds' songs 

the sun 
created mix-color of red_blue
and black_white over the horizon
as I, with a whiskey, sought all roses 
but darling, nothing shines brighter

Burst
Of sweet
Rivulet, 
Bubbling towards
The water-mill, its wheel turns endlessly,
Churning a mellow constant melody
As I enjoy
The deep peace
Of red
Dawn.

Mounting mass of land 
mount of rocks, mountain laurels
let's get up on top.

A copious flow seems
flowing through the years, beware
rivulet it ends.

Rivers and Mountains
retain before it dwindles
let young ones rejoice.

When does the cyclone grow more shallow?
In the circling world, when does the fight become futile?
Your love is an ocean I only see now as a rivulet
Between the cracks of a sidewalk.
I'm there now with a cup, and the universe,
Which does not know me, and will not know me when I leave.

(*RIP Christopher Hitchens)...

hues of rainbows
coloring the dark skies
of my forlorn soul
she is caressing my mind
cool breeze from the rivulet
of forbidden love
boundless possibilities
conditioned narrow vision
restriction of dreams
bliss woven into
the rhapsody
of a flute
life is a 
marvellous adventure
wonder for fascination
we should live it up

A crow swallows a 
biscuit piece 
at window 
Mops its mouth 
with mango twigs 

First sunlight 
enters room 
Sketching stripes 
on your neck 

Deep down inside 
A four inches long plant
in a small glass pot 
turning violet _ a rivulet 

No I won't disturb the
sunlight crayons in delight 
Rather let me bring out the 
camera with small aperture...

Talons perched over eyes ~ bedevilment
Red rose to cheek
Poor devil’s
blindfold
Dumb

Searing

Old Nick’s migraine
Rusting of love’s chariest memories

rivulet rippling
enriched by raindrop* crystals
radiates God's grace

*Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand…

Aahh!... He Climbs Up Out The Pool
And Six Feet of Tiny Rivulet Jewels
And Gem-Droplets, Run and Sparkle on His Skin
Sunshine-Glitter and His Grin !... and then
… of course, He has to Dry
Yet, Breeze and My Eyes and Heartsong… Sigh
… at Such A Desirous Sight
The Man is… Watertight !
My Moon-Tide… and My – World-Wonder
Ha !... I Think, I’ll Push Him Back Under…

… He’s Watertight !...

Another sleepless night,
I watch the snow fall. 

Furious flurries in a heavenly jailbreak,
they pile up in the window corners anonymously.

One itinerant catches itself on the middle of the pane,
an unafraid renegade.

I lean closer to admire but its identity slides down the glass,
melted by my curious breath.

Joining others of a lesser fate,
they form a rivulet and fall to the frozen earth below....

A bad moon on the rise,
Grinning like sour cheese,
Drips a rivulet of blood,
A groovy facial scar;
On the canal rancid surface,
Blacker than a witches’ bowel,
It smiles back at itself,
Death reflected from afar.

Don’t look now, for
Something wicked comes,
Trailing rotten funeral wreaths,
Along the catacomb way;
And the bad moon surveys
The handiwork of conscience,
Turns the plastic red and slick,
Predicting venous spray....

I watched a lone frill -
flitter 'neath a crescent moon.
  A chasse quite brief;
  a waltz concluding too soon.

Dusk's nocturnal breath
whirls a foliferous heart.
  A ron de jame leap
  reinvents classical art.

The plume flits and floats
beyond a stilled rivulet - 
  one rebel osprey
  escaping Swan Lake's ballet.

Tchaikovsky's cygni 
are enchanted and enrapt;
  as a chaste quill sleeps
  'pon the brim of vesper's cap....

A Black Hill 

I notice a hill 
In color jet black 
Made by step by step 
Layers upon layers 
Since its birth 
It cannot speak 
Nor could it hear 
But walks with speed 
In the corners 
Where it is formed 
Turning, twisting 
Writhing and moans 
Sits up 
And rolls 
Like a statue 
In surging pains 
From the things 
Unspoken and untold 

It starts melting  
And becomes a stream 
Since I met with you 
Flows like a rivulet 
With a murmur sound...

I leap for joy
When my heart chose yours
Your love, I forever employ
The feeling of a coat of many colours

I feel the love eruption
I can feel like this forever
Floods of illumination
Let's tour here ever.

The silent rivulet of peace
My soul gladly love- trips
My golden fleece
I so much love- drips

Beloved, a love song
A love story, we etch
I have got rhythm in my tongue
A Perfume for my lonely stench.

‘Mangesh’ means Lord Shiva
Oozing with full of cosmic aura
The dashing boy is a rock star
Full of fashion and will go afar
Vidarbha’s icon being a ‘Thakre’
Equally capable like the ‘Dhadwe’
Hails from Mahandodi – the hamlet
Just the other side of rivulet
(Rasul”s birthday activates him
Though we’re there since beginning)
Was with me and ‘dil’ on desk first
In the class of 10th in 1995 just..!
Marathi Asmita being his goal
I salute thee being an Amol..!!...

Why do we see the mornings so bright?
Why after each day, there is night?
Why does the earth go round?
Why do bullets break the barrier of sound?
Why does the mother of every child cry?
Even though they know, their child will one day-Fly!
Why does the rivulet sing?
Why does the bell always ring?
Yet, for every why there is good reason,
That’s why every year we have so many seasons,
And each season has a story its own
Where every reason is quintessentially sown!...
