~ Adorable Happiness… ~ 

☆

Joy blooms blithely like

flowers in the mind,

A reunion’s warmth, with

laughter entwined

* 

One sips tea, the other

savors coffee’s zest,

In  jests  and  whispers,

moments find their nest

 *

A trail of promises,

a pledge to meet,

The next day’s hope,

a heart’s gentle beat

 *

Yet, hidden within joy,

a twin joy resides,

Dreams that dance, and

a sweet reverie abides

 *

In fleeting moments,

joy’s blissfully shines,

A transient smile,

a heart that aligns

 *

The paths we tread,

a journey we design,

Every step is soulful,

a lasting memory divine

~ Aham Brahmasmi… ~ 

☆

You proclaim, “Aham Brahmasmi..!

I’m the Brahma… I’m the Absolute!”

A cosmic claim, so divine and complete

But have you seen your own conduct

and flaws through all the years?

Do you ever peep in your own heart,

occasionally, even  by  a mistake?

*

Your words sound so grand,

but your actions are blasphemous,

Do you live what you preach,

or just pretend to be blessed?

You always speak of unity,

of oneness and harmony,

But do your sacrilegious deeds

reflect the truth of the humanity?

*

You say you are Brahma…

you are the Absolute…

But do your shadows align

with the divine cosmic ways?

Or do you hide behind a veil

of conceit and inflated ego,

And ignore the whispers of

your own heart’s uncanny divide?

~ Joy Unbound… ~ 

☆

When reason’s voice is

hushed and low,

Let’s all meet in full flow,

where our hearts glow

 *

In unscripted moments,

carefree and bright,

Our hearts get entwined,

in love’s pure delight

 *

With no rhyme or reason,

let’s laugh and play,

And in the unknown realm,

Let’s find our playful way

 *

No logic ever required,

no proof shall we need,

To the freedom’s world,

our souls shall lead

 *

In a beautiful mystic way

We all shall survive,

And in this merriment,

our hearts will thrive

 *

Let’s cherish the moments,

emancipated and carefree,

And in this unknown realm

We’ll find lasting ecstasy

~ Rugged Poetry… ~ 

☆

“Poetry’s fingers dance

with tender ease,

Soft palms cradle like

cool gentle breeze

 *

Feet are adorned with

saffron creamy hue,

Milky soles that tread

on emerald dew

 *

Leaving whispers of

a gentle touch,

A delicate footprint,

Soft as fluffy clutch..!”

 *

In a classroom of worn

and weary elderly souls,

Reverberated teacher’s words,

weaving poetic goals…

 *

A laborer’s gaze drifted,

lost in her thought,

Her palms a map of toil,

her fingers fraught

 *

 Muddy feet, cracked heels,

a somber story told,

Of hands that labored,

withered  and  old

 *

She yearned to rise,

to voice her plight,

To shatter norms,

to claim her rights…

 *

“No, teacher!” she’d exclaim

with fervent zeal,

“Poetry’s rugged too,

and brutally real..!”

~ A Spark Away… ~ 

☆

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing the brazenness of the world

Ask me not how am I coping…

I’m sitting on a pile of explosives

And every person is a live fuse..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a world that wears its

brazenness like sheep’s skin

Don’t ask me how have I

managed to cope within

*

As I sit on dynamite, a

precarious abode

Every other face a lit fuse,

waiting to explode

*

The air is charged with

tension’s spark

Each step a risk, each

word, charred dark

*

The world all-around is

nothing but a volatile sea

I’m just desperately trying

to stay afloat and free

*

Uncertainty rides the mind

with a heavy weight

A constant hum of a

potential dark fate

*

I’m navigating through

live wires and fire

Searching for a refuge a

place to peacefully retire

*

In this fragile balance

I precariously stand

A single misstep could

explode the land

*

Every moment, every day

a test of enduring will

A delicate dance on the

edge of a perilous hill

~ Fragility of Life… ~ 

(Air India crash was really very sad and disturbing… Such incidents shake the inner self… A few verses emerged out of this melancholic tragedy…)

☆

In life’s fragile somber frame,

a shattering moment’s sway

Can shatter our frail destinies,

in the most unpredictable way

*

A vacation’s heavenly bliss,

Lost to terrorists’ cruel hand

Leaves innocent lives shattered,

in a far off unfamiliar land

*

A stadium’s roar, get crumpled

under a stampede’s deadly stride

Crushed lives, lie under a chaotic,

helter-skelter, panic ridden tide

*

A flight takes off with hundreds

onboard, having dreams galore

Crashes down in a jiffy, imperiled

in a fatal, unalarmed fiery eyesore

*

The students’ quiet hour, a cozy

Lunch break turning errant

Is ravaged by a plane’s weary

uncontrolled catastrophic descent

*

A life’s unpredictable trajectory,

altered in a heartbeat’s space

Leaves the loved ones shattered,

in a grief-filled hapless place

*

Frangible life’s uncertain hours,

a fragile, flickering dying flame

Dances with fate, in a capricious

and unpredictable fatal game

*

One moment’s calm, the next,

a life threatening tempest’s rage

Leaves us breathless, on a huge

sorrowful, death-dealing stage

*

Yet, in the face of misfortune

and uncertainty’s darkest night

We find resilience, in God’s kind and

gracious yielding, the divine light

~ Beguiling Spell…~ 

☆ 

Though we  grasp  the truth,

yet we tend to fall for the lie,

Our discerning  minds, still

get fooled by guile and guise

 *

The charlatans weave their

enchanting  chiming  bells

And we, the mesmerized ones

get trapped, in deceitful spell

 *

In blind endearment, we

surrender our mind & sight,

And with the truth, distorted,

our wisdom loses its light

 *

The wise  and the fools, both

succumb to the temptations,

And in the darkness, we succumb

to such impulsive inclinations

~ An Angelic Salvation… ~ 

☆

An angelic fairy with her

soul glowing brightly

Would dance on winds,

With melodies heavenly

* 

Her  soul a  flame that

burned ever so brightly

A dreamer’s pure heart

that yearned infinitely

 *

But darkness crept in with

shadows  sinisterly  cold

A viley demon’s grasp that

cunningly sought to hold

 *

He weaved a vicious web

of deceit, trickery and pain

And clipped her wings, her

Spirited flight to enchain

 *

Her world shrank with heart’s

agony and the unbearable pain

A poison spread uncontrollably

with her resplendent aura slain

 *

The weight of her endless woes,

a mountain so  big and high

Menacingly threatened to crush

her spirits with a soaring sigh

 *

Yet still she prayed to the God

Almighty with an earnest plea

To the ever merciful Lord above

Invoking, her soul be to be free

 *

And He in merciful compassion

hears  all  her  desperate  call

Guides her back  home to avoid

her agonies and sufferings tall

 *

In His ever cozy and warm lap

her  agonies  and  pains cease

Her spirit soars high again and

the heart finds the eternal peace

~ Harvest of Potentiality… ~ 

☆

Within us lies a huge fertile land of

perseverance and immense might,

Where potentiality’s seed germinates

and grows with unhackneyed light

* 

Clouds of the promised adroitness

precipitate with the fecund rain,

Fuelled by the deep emotions and

passions, get ignited to sustain

 *

The drudgery of daily moil & toil,

as struggles we’re forced to face,

They’re but the crucibles that refine,

and define our inner most space

 *

Power  to  unleash  our  greatness

lies within our grasp so fine,

A spark that lies dormant to ignite,

to illuminate our path so divine
