☆ ~ Enigmatic Him…  ~? ☆

☆

A euphoric fragrance thou art

that  spreads  with  the  wind…

But worry is of the flower only

Where would destiny take it to..?

☆

I  thought,  it’s  just  a wound,

it  will  naturally  heal  itself,

But  then,  who knew  that it’d

spread  deep  inside  the veins?

☆

Whenever  he  visits  my  abode, 

For his bizarre company’s sake,

Even the entranced spring greets 

by stopping by in my courtyard…

☆

He’s a wanderer  only  that  keeps

moving around like a gust of wind

That  would come  and  touch you,

and  blow  you away,  eventually…

☆

But she too shall be sitting alone

on  the  sand  lagoon  somewhere

His love is also like a river, that

shall recede, leaving you desolate..

☆

♥

They clasped her viciously,

Like a sharp piercing spear

Tried  hard  to  free  them  off

But Alas! She couldn’t do so…!

*

Some unwanted ghastly thorns

audaciously  pricked  her feet

Tried  hard  to  pull  them out

But Alas! She couldn’t do so..!

*

Some  unwanted  pricks came

to  wrap  around  her  fingers,

Tried  hard  to  jerk  them  off

But Alas! She couldn’t do so…!

*

Yet her bleeding soul kept smiling

despite  the  repeated  lancinations,

That’s why for

enduring ever excruciating pain…

Woman is called ‘Apostle of Tolerance’..!

☆ Lasting Beauty… ☆

☆☆

वैसे तो हर चीज़ अपने ही

वक्त पर अच्छी लगती है,

बस एक तुम ही हो जो

हर वक्त अच्छे लगते हो…!

☆☆

Everything looks good at

its own given time…

You are the only one who

looks good all the time…!

☆ Perplexity… ☆

☆☆

कम सबके हो

गए हैं आसान बहुत…

अब यहाँ कौन समझेगा

मेरी मुश्किलों को भला…!

☆☆

Everyone’s task has

become so easy here…

Who will understand

my problems now…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Lapidary… ☆

☆☆

मेरे टूटने का जिम्मेदार

मेरा जौहरी ही है,

उसी की ये जिद थी कि

मुझे और तराशा जाए…!

☆☆

My jeweler should only be held

responsible for my shattering…

It was he who insisted that

I should be polished further..!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Who cares… ☆

☆☆

जब रिश्ता ही टूट गया

तेरी सियाह ज़ुल्फों से

वो अब लाख ख़म खाएँ

तो हमारी बला से…!

☆☆

When relationship itself has broken

down with your dark hair curls…

Who the hell cares, even if they swirl

around a million times over…l

English Literature – Poetry ☆ The Grey Lights# 33 – “Life & Love” ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Ashish Mulay

? The Grey Lights# 33 ?

☆ – “Life & Love” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Is it the same way you feel

or only my mind is on the wheel?

meaningless seems the way

and seems worthless the destiny

for hunger remains the same

in the end as well as in the beginning

or may be we are perceiving wrongly

for life is just surviving and not the living

 *

but surviving is also meaningless

in the hollow hope of living

may be that’s why we imagine

of a place to go after dying

is there really any meaning in anything?

I don’t know my love

may be we should keep searching

 *

the question that troubles our mind

that’s the curse of mankind

we don’t know from where have we come

and we don’t know where will we go

only the love we can truly feel

for it is beyond the questioning

why should we contain it?

for sure it will save us one day

from being extinct…

English Literature – Poetry – ☆ Locks of Superstition… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

By Hemant Bawankar1 Comment

Hemant Bawankar

☆ Locks of Superstition… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

In Verona

Juliet’s balcony,

below the balcony,

Juliet’s statue

and

behind the statue

hung in the grill

countless locks.

The old town of Bamberg

in the heart of the city

Regnitz river’s bridge

and

countless locks

hanging

on the fence of the bridge cables.

 

Under the bridge

on the cool surface of the river Regnitz

duck pairs

disport

unaware

of superstition

of modern western culture.

 

There is an illusion

that

locks that hung off the way

will make

their matches

‘unbreakable’

‘everlasting’.

 

I heard that –

often

locks are hung

and

relations are broken

Juliet remains the same

and

Romeos are changed.

 

Though,

we are not an exception

we are too

somewhat superstitious.

We do also visit

Temple -Mosque

Church – Gurudwara

shrines of the prophets.

 

Knowingly or unknowingly

we also prayed

and tied threads

for our posterity

for their safety

with this hope

that – if

children are well

and well survived

then

not only couples

none can break

the homes.

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

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

? संजय दृष्टि – प्रसव ? ?

मनुष्य जाति में

होता है

एकल प्रसव,

कभी-कभार जुड़वाँ

और दुर्लभ से दुर्लभतम

तीन या चार,

डरता हूँ,

ये निरंतर

प्रसूत होती लेखनी

कोई अनहोनी न करा दे,

प्रतिपल जन्मती रचनाएँ

मुझे जाति बहिष्कृत न करा दें।

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

?~ Delivery…  ~??

?

There is single birth

in human race,

May be twins and

in rarest of occasions

triplets or quadruplets…

But I am afraid that

this constantly

flowing pen

might cause some

untoward incident…

The creations born

every moment

may  make me

an outcast…!

The world kept offering a

Never  did  I sell  myself

Now,  I will  offer myself

to you  without  any  price…

Knoweth  not  with  which

magnet  did  you  pull  me,

Your persona casts a spell,

Had to come rushing, since

Heart never gave any option

unlike  the  ever wily mind..!

?~ O’ Dear Moon…  ~??

 

O’ dear moon! Come back soon,

Of course, I am the sky

but then, I am too lonely…

These stars reside far away,

All these lovely panoramic scenes

live cannily in their own world,

You  were the one whou would

perennially bathe me in moonlight,

With you gone, everyone leaves me

in the gloomy stark darkness only…

You’re te one who’d be my torch bearer,

You are always the light of my eyes,

You were my eyesight, the lighthouse,

You are the sphere of my daring courage,

What should I do with this black sky?

What could I do with the stark darkness,

Earlier evey if, you would go every day,

but then you would return the next day…

Always remember the path to my abode

O’ Moon! Do go if you must, but then

Make a promise to come back tomorrow,

Whole sky appears barren without you,

This house is not home without you,

As it falls lifeless without you in sight,

My world seems so deserted without you…!
