We present Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji’s amazing poem “~ Fire… ~”.  We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) and his artwork.) 

~ Fire… ~ 

☆

Two tribes clashed,

raining stones upon one another

over the right to hunt.

Among the flying rocks,

a few collided midair.

A spark flashed.

Everyone fled in fear.

Except one man.

He stood his ground.

Gathering courage,

he struck one stone against another.

Again, a spark.

Now obsession seized him.

He began to play

with different stones.

He was the first man

to sow fire,

to cultivate fire.

He kindled it.

He cooked on it.

One day,

he perished in it.

Yet he was the same man

who introduced fire to the world,

who taught the difference

between heat and flame.

Who revealed the possibilities

of roasting over fire

and burning within it.

He handed over his life

to fire itself,

so mankind might learn

that even bodies can be reduced to ash.

He was the first man

to prove that

when fire lives within,

the world outside

can be illuminated…!

(Inspired by Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj Ji’s poem आग)

We present Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji’s amazing poem “~ Beyond Nirvana… ~”.  We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) and his artwork.) 

~ Beyond Nirvana… ~ 

☆

With an unquenchable thirst

to know the boundless

I crossed door after door—

Many doors

Yet more doors

Endless doors

Until at last

I stood before

the gate of liberation…

Light spilled outward

vast, persuasive, complete

promising an end

to every question

But watching my thirst

dissolve into silence

I paused

Questions that still breathe

do not ask for salvation

They demand commitment

So I turned back

from Nirvana

I refuse dissolution

I choose to remain

Not peace—

but total participation

Not escape—

but the

unfinished horizon of creation

We present Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji’s amazing poem “~ Balance… ~”.  We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) and his artwork.) 

~ Balance… ~ 

☆

An ocean of desire

—ever restless,

unappeased in the

breadth of finite

human palm…

Between the asking tide

and the fragile hand

a life leans precariously

in an upheaval—

shrinking on

borrowed tomorrows

or widening inward

until the infinite

resigns, quietly—

Where sea meets skin

all scale dissolves

The drop recounts

the lost horizon

Balance is not merely held

it becomes an ever

lasting awakening..!

(Inspired by Shri Sanjay Bhardwaj Ji’s poem संतुलन)

~ Bird of Destiny… ~ 

☆

In fate’s dark gully,

where shadows play,

A mystical  bird sits,

lost in mystic disarray

 *

Gazing into void’s

hollowed  maze,

With eyes holding a

haunting, endless gaze

 *

The silence screams,

as dry leaves fall cold,

Their brittle whispers,

a  sorrow  to  behold

 *

Piercing the stillness,

is  a  deep  pain,

A heart-wrenching ache,

where echoes reign

 *

In darkness, it searches

for peaceful night,

But finds dark shadows,

devoid of any light

* 

The bird of destiny,

a symbol so grand,

A harbinger of pain,

in a desolate land…!
