My Verse!

o, my verse!,
do not weep,
do not mourn
have a pact with everything
either grief or a joy.
the real and true joy
is hidden in a compromise
or in a life
filled with sacrifice.
so so not weep, o my verse!
life, itself a dream
but not meaningless.
though its all adversities
and joys are fake,
but make a base
with truth and faith.
so don't weep or mourn
o my verse!

Rising Sun

I am a sacred dot
on the forehead of a bride.
carrying joy in a gentle heart
to enlighten a dull life.
 I am a coral red and bright
glittering in the necklace
of a hazy,tender night.
spread around my golden light!
give an impulse to work,
most of the while!
give you warmth and healthy smile.
symbolize prosperity
with a life worthwhile!

Dawnwning Star

I see a dawning star
daily in the vague azure.
seems me awaiting the unrisedn sun
impatiently, silently.
twinkling with fear, a dolour
and the hope of a joy.
awaiting his beloved for long.
but as comes the precursor
 disguised as a dancing beam
from the beloved sun,
it seens so overjoyed
even losing its own form
while sinking slowly
in the deep azure
with a sigh!

A Pitiable Lass

once while passing on my way
lost in a private world and gay,
 I lost my happy day!
as I saw a poor lass away.
half bare and shivering
 in such a chilling day.
 strolling in the morning
barefoot on a rocky way
for the entire hazy day!
My heart got filled with pity,
as I glanced at myself
 wrapped in layers of woollens
but with a meak heart.
felt a deep shame within.
may her body be frail but not her courage
that emboldened my courage.
I realized within then
 I was pitiable not she,
 I was weaker not she!

as a child i often wondered about everything i saw around. i thought of keeping a track of all the steps of growth and change in self with the passage of time. but life is such a miracle ..it is so steady..so imperceptible...one does not know how everything changes ...ceaselessly..still certain impressions get etched deep in our psyche that it is difficult to erase them.such feelings take the shape of creative expression such as poems. i share my such expressions with avid readers of heart and mind around the world.

 some quotations of thinkers like George Bernard Shaw still enliven my spirits." I am an athiest and I thank God for it."
"I am a vegetarian,my stomach is not a graveyard of dead animals" and a saying by suuphi philosophers,-'When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has gained." keep reverberating in my heart. the battle between flesh and spirit is eternal and cosmic. we keep changing our forms from micro level to macro level; from energy to mass; from one form to another. this is our journey..eternal and unending....
