?~ Whispers of Silence… ~ ??

Sometime, let sprightly colours
dance in soul’s soothing rain,
Let the myriad rainbow hues
make your heart whole again

*

With countless vibrant tones,
Paint the life’s canvas bright,
Let your divine beauty shine
with your inner most light

*

Sometime, craft a soulful
picture with words unsaid,
Let masterpiece of stark silence,
and emotions be deeply fed

*

Let brushstrokes of stillness
create a splendid scene,
Where beauty of unseen reigns,
making it supremely serene

*

Sometime, listen to the rich
voice of deep reticence,
A gentle whisper that brings
a sense of gratifying essence

*

In the quietude of nights,
when words are few and still,
Let inner silence’s wisdom shine,
and wisdom’s voice fulfill

*

Sometime, read the mystic
missive of silence so deep,
A letter from the soul,
penned in quiet sound sleep

*

Sometime in the stillness,
hear the heartbeat of divine,
A language that transcends
words, and makes us align

? ~ Company of ‘God and Godly’??

In the  company  of God  and Godly, we find our way,

To ignite  the  spark, that  burns throughout the day

The fire  of truth, that  keeps flickering  deep inside,

Guides us on our journey, with a gentle, loving stride

 *

In the God’s sacred space, where saintly people reside,

We find our inner  light, and  a loving,  peaceful Guide

The  divine enlightenment,  shines  like  morning  dew,

Illuminating our path, showing what is eternally true

 *

In the company  of  Godly, hearts take cosmic flights,

And the flame of pure love, that burns within, ignites

May we seek Godly company, to bask in its loving light,

And may our souls, be filled with peace & pure delight

चार दिन भी लोगों की आंखो में

नमी ना होगी,

मैं फ़ना भी हो जाऊं

तो किसे क्या कमी होगी…!

☆☆

No one’s eyes will well up with tears,

even for four days,

And, no one will notice,

even if I perish…

☆☆☆☆☆

कौन सा ग़म था जो तरोताज़ा न था

इतना ग़म मिलेगा, ये भी अंदाज़ा न था,

आपकी झील सी आंखों का क्या क़ुसूर

डूबने वाले को ही गहराई का अंदाजा न था…

☆☆

No melancholy is new, yet

I didn’t expect this depth of anguish.

What fault do your ocean-like eyes hold?

Only the drowned ones couldn’t fathom the depth…

☆☆☆☆☆

फना होने वाले तो

बिना बताए ही चले जाते हैं,

रोज तो वो मरते है

जो खुद से ज्यादा किसी और को चाहते हैं…!

☆☆

Those who leave the world,

depart without warning,

The ones who love someone more than life itself,

die daily…

☆☆☆☆☆

कितना अकेला रह जाता है वो शख्स

जिसे जानते तो तमाम लोग हैं,

मगर समझता कोई नही…

☆☆

How lonely is my soul

Known by many,

yet understood by none?”

? ~ Emotions in Flux… ??

When the cat kills, our emotions sway,

With different views, for different prey

*

When it kills pet parrot, a prized friend,

Its death brings a rage that will not end

*

But when it kills a deadly menacing rat,

We feel pleasurable relief, a different fact

*

Our attachments shape our deep insight,

Biases guide our changed emotions’ might

*

Desires are born out of preposterous plight,

Perceived waves lead us to pseudo delight

*

We react with ecstatic joy or utter disdain,

Governed by our fancied prejudiced pain

*

Still we do strive to indulge in love to dare,

With good Karma sown, and faith we share

*

Yet results may vary with unexpected delay,

But perseverance blooms, come what may

? ~ Unfurling Soul… ~ ??

In the life’s rosy garden, I once felt lost and late,

A bloom delayed, or so it seemed to the fate

But time, a gentle giant, keeps revealing its truth,

That aging, like old wine, brings its tipsy youth

 *

I was so entwined in others’ expectations’ snare,

A tangled mess of what they thought I’d share

But then I stepped back, ceased the forced pace,

And became the gardener of my own sacred place

 *

With gentle hands, I kept plucking the weeds of fear,

Pruned doubts that shadowed my soul’s clear mirror

As sunlight poured in, the tranquility began to unfold,

And the petals of growth burst forth, young and bold

 *

The issue wasn’t growth, but blocks that stood tall,

Fears, doubts, and expectations that would not fall

But once removed, the garden bloomed with glee,

A vibrant display of life enveloped, as all worries flee

? ~ Endless Journey… ??

A moment swells into the eternity’s tide

in a journey where heart and spirit reside

Each step leaves a mark, a promise made,

in the universe, where memories cascade

*

Time’s waves crash, thoughts freely roam,

Then surrender to silence, its tranquil home

In the boundless sea, words lose their sway,

Silence speaks volumes, be it a night or day

*

In the depths of the soul, a light will shine,

Guiding us forward, through the life, divine

With each step, a new path will be designed

Journey of life, will have heart & soul aligned

मुझे भी यकीन है,

और मौत पर भी एतबार है,

दौड़ तो रहा है, मगर खामोशी से…

It keeps unfolding but silently…

? ~ Embers of Memories… ??

Time’s dark undertow sweeps us under,

Erasing the ever ephemeral present,

Leaving the memories etched on the soul

like indelible scars refusing to heal, forever…

*

In the unfathomable depths of our being,

a fading ember of the past still glows,

A beacon of longing that refuses to be

extinguished by the passage of time…

*

Fragile, fleeting memories cling to the life,

desperate to evade the abyss of forgetfulness,

Yet time’s relentless tide wears them down,

grinding them into the quicksand of oblivion…

*

Still, we cherish these tattered remnants,

treasuring the love, laughter, and tears they hold,

For in their fragile beauty, we find solace,

a testament to the human heart’s capacity

to remember, to love, and to cherish endearing

moments that shape us, that make us human..!

English Literature – Poetry ☆ Respect… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

Hemant Bawankar

(This poem has been cited from my book The Variegated Life of Emotional Hearts”.)

☆ Respect… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

I’m not

as you are thinking.

You have seen

my body;

the dress of soul!

 

Don’t respect me

my body

the dress of soul.

Try to search

another side of the wall

hanging between

dress and soul.

 

If you succeed

then

I will respect you

else

you respect me.
