Life On Window Sills

She is still 
Sleeping under the sill
Each night 
When stars look down
She is crawling 
Under the window sill
Shivering all night
And wishing for clean water
I suppose and may be 
Hybernating might help a bit, although
Not everyday can the pair of pigeons 
Get to do, what they plan to, despite
Having built a home, and trying to
Raise a small family, the unforeseen
Took away their efforts, home rumbled
Earth devoured the fallen birdlings
Huge wind blown towards them,
No one guessed or predicted
How it all ended..
Alas! the birds looking over from the Window sills
Singing the songs of departure...
For a lonely traveller, that was
Their very own meaning 
Of existence, courtship and life..
Who can wipe their unflown tears
Or pray for their departed
Precious little being
They ever tried to raise
Seasons come and seasons go
Life goes on forever.. more

To A Brave New World To Behold!

The world
It is so beautiful
You have to be alive
To enjoy the morning light
It is always bland if you just stare and stand
The world 
Is beautiful just so
You may find your life 
To Adore and admit your 💕 to the beloved
Life may never be the same
You may or may not find your dream
Yet, in this life
A dozen times in and out
Of the rustic fields of faith and hope
You may be looking as if never born in hope
Of finding your true dream come alive
Yet to be found, 
Yet to be bound in a labyrinth
Of passion that takes you above the ground
Into a heaven over the eleventh
Seemingly impossible
Yet a delicate and darling
Love from above all else
Tender as a rose
Slender as a gossamer of ancient prose
Giving the love of lost eras of Eros
Bringing the brilliance
Of a healthy furnace over a heath
To bring joy and a fresh breath
When the seasons are yellow in gold
Drenched in freezing cold
Fortunately all the crops are already
Ready and behold, in a mound 
Of paddy for cattle and bold
Feeding the hungry and old…
A day after dawning the kindness 
Fighting the brutal with rebuttal and caring the frail
May the bright days lead you 
To a new era 
In this bold new world
Pouring love and regards for 
Sustenance and solid friendship
To greet, meet and be sweet
To one another after
Ever after and after
Finding
The very brave New World!
Look! Behold!

Friends, Help Friends

I need to borrow my voice
Seems to have gone
Away for some time 
To a distant planet unknown
Or may be a Universe 
Yet to have come
To exist, live, let live 
Stopping those who resist...
I will not worry,
Say, Noreen is here!
My dear friend of mine!

A Woman As A Burning Lava

Burning like lava
From eons unto 
The endless eternity
My feelings and emotions
You know not how you
Create waves of agony
That no ocean can
Soothe it or breathe it
I look for you
Day or night
Never missing one
Heart beat, hoping 
Beyond hopes that 
You would come to 
Senses one day, yet
Here I am lonely and
Waiting in vain and
Intense pain...

Message From Some Distance

Tonight, you sleep tight!
Alas! Winter is at it’s heights
Disarm your mind of worries
They hold no cover from the shivers
As you think of them artists and singers
Living until yesterday,
Until the days turned gloomy
Nights were solitary
Room mates and mates
Turned into strangers
Leaving one with loss and
Of never ending woes,
Or ever finding even their shadows
As the Sun is sinking,
Leaving One with a cloudy
Starless, no moon night
Not even a bird cried that night
Still, 
In the mind, a ray of hope
That, dawn will be nearby
Spring will clear the mist
All the mystic abandonment
May one day lead to
Songs of choir
Singing His grace 
O divine travellers
We trail behind singing
In Chorus
Will meet you there!
Until then
Carry the torch you lit
To the future
And more!

Weaving A Million Tunes

Wish I was more away from you
Night or day, I find you
As if hidden behind all the things
Said or unsaid, told or untold..
As they unfold each day, 
Every moment as if out of blue!

Love to pretend, I did not 
Notice your deep azure looks
Deeper than the ocean
Bringing the stars from deep skies
Nearer and dearer,  
The sparkle of the twinkling stars
Are brightened by your smile
As charming as the sweet smell of jasmine
Coming from mother Radha's garland
Bringing home the melody of
Bansuri as if the music beats
In my heart as the flow in my veins
Gets the touch of your lips
Singing thousands of songs, alluring
As every cell and particle
Reverberates in the music of
Your endless love and rejoice in supreme happiness
In the melody of loving Mohana Raga notes!

Phenomenal Verses! Yo!

I wrote a few words
'One plus one
Is it not two?' I meant to write.
In fact the words 
were like, 'one and one,
Don't make two,
One and one stand eleven.'
I deleted every word,
Thought they were 
O so boring,
I can write better, 
Deleted them all, with a grin
So silly you letters, I thought.
Just for a while.
Only...
Charging at me in chagrin
The words, like angry mob 
O' Elephants, about to 
Throw me down
Stumple me like grain
Out of a field of corn
Were coming to attack
Angrily, with wrath, 
O my! I was aghast, and
Begged them to calm down 
So I would be spared 
For another dawn
I asked, how can they be so mad at me?
They were disappointed,
To see me write 
As and how I desired,
Although they could be 
Yellow or Aqua Blue
Could be creating so much disharmony,
With no clue, yet
They come in nicely
Robed, cultured and
Sophisticated like ladies
Or Gentlemen in a prayer hall
Or at a tea party, wearing hat and all,
Following the rules
Of Haiku to Limerick(u)
None of them, are what they desire,
They like to behave like a bee,
With free verse and style,
Creators of their maine
In their conscious fame or name
Not jargoned into some
Style of Dick Van Dyke's 
Sing-along popping in
Mary Poppins show and likes
We can make an epic 
Come back, if we pick
The lines we chose
The care we can share
As humanity grows
Wise and mature,
What matters is the
Heart indeed,
Not your bureau of dramatics
Punching one here,
Crunching some there
Cooking up soup of  Catamarans of crocodiles 
In huge crocks, crackened 
To shake or stack until end
What good does a metered
Poem do, if not provide
A light or brilliance, 
Motivate one to create
Down with your hypocrisy 
Down with your boredom 
Why not cherish freedom
Of thought and liberty
With choosing words
Having depth and meaning
Not just to greet
Or be a visual treat
To bounce back
From being crushed
Springing up
As a 'Phenomenal woman's'
Work of creativite art
Being a part of human's
Mais non seulement
Couture de Paris au France
et Italy ou Madrid,  
But of everyone, hence
Tout le monde,
Pour l'histoire et future!
Said them verses, Phenomenal!
Ain't that true.. thought I..
