The Grey Lights# 38

☆ – “Race” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

It makes me laugh

when I hear someone

saying ‘Life is a Race’

for in a race only one is ‘The Ace’

doesn’t it mean all others

the second, the third

are losers not worth a word

weird is the word for the herd

for me the life is a multi-front war

that is fought in a fashion

fashion called a ‘Blitzkrieg’

doesn’t work there the rig

neither all fronts are won

nor all are lost

what ultimately matters

is nothing but the cost

neither there are winners

nor are there losers

with thousand wounds

there are just survivors

be the best of what

you were given

if at all there is a run

it is just from your own

☆ Human-worms… ☆

☆

Listen! My innocent friend!

Some media news-views of

these Presstitutes are as true

as eunuchs having children…

*

What can these sold-outs

ever do for you, or even

for their very own nation?

Who’re ever ready to sell

their mother and motherland..!

*

Entire world knows that one

is born out of mother’s womb

through natural process only…

But always wonder, in which

test-tubes were these cursed

human-worms were conceived..?

And, born as debauched demons,

Who put the despicable word

‘treachery’ to the utter shame…

*

Not realising that there is another

world where account of their treason

evil deeds is settled and their coming

generations live with the the stigma of

being descendants of “Jaichand”*..!

☆

*Jaichand…the worst traitor of the known human history of India…

☆ New World’s Word Order..!… ☆

☆

Probably,

the vocabulary is suffering

from some incurable disease

Knoweth not, as to why

the exclusivity of the

words has been unceremoniously

consigned to the extinction?

*

It seems that the ever

vitiated environment

has impaired the

virtuousness of the words…

*

Now,

words only have the

double meanings,

bereft of the erstwhile truthfulness!

These days, even the best

of the littérateurs shall

find it intriguing to build

the mansions of the words…

*

Alas!

What has happened to the

world’s traditional values?

One is just unable to

survive in present day life

Without embracing the

guile and immorality..!

ज़रा सी कैद से ही

Just a little bit of confinement

Made you feel so suffocated,

But keeping the birds caged

You were so very fond of…!

वक्त जिन्दगी बदल देगा…!

The Grey Lights# 37

☆ – “Her Power” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

What have you seen of hers

a flesh, a mind or hairs

If that’s all you have seen

then you have not seen

to see her truly

is to see her power

and her power is truly seen

when she is not seen

powerful force she is

than the gravity itself

for gravity pulls all the matter

but she, all the spirit

gravity starts pulling

when it is present

but her power acts

when she is absent ….

let her go, let her go her way

and you will see her beauty

for even from a distance

her light will motivate you

Like the MOON……

You always kept floating

in my teary eyes only,

Wish you’d dived deep into

my fathomless heart, too..!

Eversince I set course, my eyes

kept counting the milestones

Wish I had my sights fixated

on the destination, too..!

*

Oh! I’ve got these fragrant

flowers from a benefactor

Wish you had seen my bed

full of deadly thorns, too..!

I welcomed the bouquets

offered by my friends

Wish I could see the dagger

Hidden in the flowers, too..!

☆ Dispassionate… ☆

☆

Sprightly colours that make

the entire world go crazy

Have already been summarily

discardcd by my eyes…

*

You are the one whose craving

for fame never dies down,

Here I’m who is tired of all the

wordly pomp and show…

*

I’m not going to open up by

few of your overtures,

You only have complicated it

by your acute insolence…

*

Now for whom have you brought

Tthese moon and stars?

I’ve come out of those illusory

utopian world long back

*

Don’t needlessly attribute

everything to the melancholy,

Flowers do wither away due

to some other reasons, too!

*

Not that everyone here is on

your side, very staunchly

Though, some of your unsolicited

rancours have rubbed on me, too!

How I wished no one ever got separated

in the desolate vistas of ephemeral life,

How I wished we all stayed together like

the banks of perennial rivers, in all our strife…

*

How I wished hearts never got broken in

the automnal blaze of the earthly sojourns

How I wished we could remain bissfully

happy with each other, without any mourns…

*

How I wished we never had any grouses, for

there’ll not exist any heartburns till eternity

No unfounded fears, grudges, angst, anxieties

or heartwrenching afflictions, for posterity…

*

How I wished everyone lived happily

in own world, with no worries whatsoever,

How I wished that the ebullient universe

remained blissfully prosperous, forever..!

English Literature – Poetry ☆ Heart, eyes, and tears… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

Hemant Bawankar

☆ Heart, eyes, and tears… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

These tears are surprising

which are very close to every heart.

There is a strange relationship

amongst heart, tears and eyes.

Even though,

staying away from the heart,

these are close to every heart.

By the way

Eyes cry many times in life.

Sometimes they cry in joy.

Sometimes they cry in sorrow.

Sometimes they cry when we are awake.

Sometimes they cry when we are asleep.

People Say –

the woman is so sensitive

having a source of tears in her eyes.

However,

I had seen him turning away,

and wiping his eyes

at the time of his wife’s adieu.

I had seen tears in his eyes

at adieu of

his sister

and daughter too.

I had seen tears in his eyes

even when, as a social responsibility

he brought one daughter from another home

with the feeling of adieu of

his sister

and daughter too.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when you had given presence

in your mother’s womb.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when he preached the good stories

when you were in the womb

so you may get lessons of life

to overcome the life’s trap.

I had seen tears of helplessness in his eyes

when he found himself constrained

to meet your urgent needs.

I had even seen tears in his eyes

when someone could not understand him

when someone could not honour

his feelings

his relationships.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when you moved ahead

to fight with life’s lessons

rejuvenating yourselves.

These tears are surprising

which are close to every heart.

There is a strange relationship

amongst heart, tears and eyes.

Even though,

staying away from the heart

these are close to every heart.

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

☆ Enigmatic Illusion… ☆

☆

Apparently, life itself is an illusion…

–more realistic than the existence…

–a reflection of enigmatic virtual mind…!

Exposing man’s frailty and weaknesses,

falling for the detrimental effects

of luring tenacity of the ever-tempting illusion,

For, illusion knows no bounds,

swallowing the inherent vulnerability of

the human sensory impulses,

especially, targeting one’s eyes..

But, must not, one should blame the illusion,

Man treading cautiously and attempting

to complete the earthly sojourn,

must have strike a balance between the

illusionary senses and the stark ground realities.!
