~ Writing… ~ 

☆ 

“How do emotions well up so easily?

How do your words burst forth?

How do they emerge on a paper?

Let me see your writing in action..!”

He prodded inquisitively…

I lightly pricked the tip of

his finger with a pen…

“The day you feel the collective

pain in individual suffering,

You’ll automatically start writing

on your own, without any effort!

~ THE SUN… ~ 

☆ 

You may hide in a cool dungeon,

and name it dark – comfort

You may drape the cold in mesmeric words

But I call it an illusion…

You paint your face with

vanity and pretence

The Sun spares no paint

it melts the mask

Never do I seek shade

I stand where the

scorching Sun burns

Vertical

Blinding

Mercilessly

Under a ruthless Sun,

no lie ever survives

Only you remain raw,

unvarnished,

as naked truth…

~ Can We Be Strangers Again? ~ 

☆

At first

there was only a spark

unburdened by yesterday

with no looming shadows

of the past…

Then we drew closer

wrapped in an unspoken intimacy

Expectations arrived

as though ordained by destiny

They failed

And in their wake

discords quietly

bloomed between us

Until silence

became

the language

of our conversations

The world

with its silent certainty

stole the wild joy

We believed

love would preserve

but in vain…

Then came

the quiet revelation

Perhaps

remaining strangers

is a rare blessing

For strangers are free

to dream

without disillusion

to admire

without expectation

and to preserve forever

the euphoria

that familiarity

so often steals…!

~ Sojourn from Self to Infinite… ~ 

☆ 

I squandered all the riches

of love upon you, my beloved

Until I became a stranger within

the chambers of my own heart

 *

How curious is the covenant

of these fleeting encounters

I never knew when your city

became my only home

 *

I drifted on, wearing the visage of

water, to the melody of stream

Then, with a single leap of the tide,

I became the ocean itself

 *

Love reshaped the very

fabric of my being

I embraced the night, only to

awaken as your dawn

 *

The fire of longing chiseled

me with such grace

That what was once mere stone

emerged as burnished gold

 *

No fetters, no fears remained

no sense of self survived

A nameless prayer once adrift,

I’ve now become a benediction

 *

This soul was adorned with

such a great resplendence

That like a rose upon the breeze

I became its fragrant essence

 *

I erased every trace of myself,

to be abided wholly in you

Yesterday I was but a drop

Today I am the Ocean itself

(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.
