आओ ना !

आज फिर आई तेरी याद,
आओ ना…
सपने में ही सही,
थोडा मुस्कुराओ,
मुझे बखूब याद है -
वह बरसाती शाम…
एक - दूसरे में समाए,
दो देह, एक जान….

तू मोरनी सी…
नाची थी….
छत पर उस रात,
मैंने देखा था…
चाँद को मात खाते पहली बार,
हे मेरी प्रेरणा की प्रतिमूर्ति….
आओ ना …..
फिर एक बार…
सपने में ही सही…
बावरी सखी….

Black Bird

No trace of black bird,

Vanishing from horizon

Leaving certain memoirs,

Her lucid words,

Soothing gestures

Still remind, those wonderful days .

Perhaps a rocky city has engulfed her

Or she is under self imposed moratorium,

In this World, a relation needs definition,

A linkage .

Insolvency of such relations,

She,

The Black Bird ..

Still pulsates in my veins .

Silently ..

Bloggers: The Beggars

Looking for few words,

Words of .

Compassion,

Companionship,

Communication .

Accepting alms of Love,

Killing the loneliness,

Helplessness,

Emotionless moments

Bloggers, the beggars .

Begging for peace,

Creativity,

Involvement

Dreaming in isolation .

Interacting in a virtual world .

Words,

Words ..

The intellectual fodder for the beggars,

The Bloggers .

Now Annie…….

She came in my life with twinkling eyes,

With soft smiles,

Rosy cheeks .

She filled the family with eternal joy,

Poli found her younger sister with pleasant surprise,

Annie, my newly born daughter .

Another divine gift .

Blessed with cherished soul

Annie .

Palm

At nightmarish midnight,

Sleepless,

Stressful,

Lacking soothing words

I was an ordinary man at that time

Crossing bridges in thoughts,

I put my cheek gently on her tiny palm

Feeling the warmth of mother's lap,

I was a kid, percolating tears

Hidden fear, frustration and futility started venting out

Her palm rescued me,

Comforted me while she was asleep,

I cried silently,

It was soul searching exercise

My daughter,

An angel

Tendering unconditioned love,

Restoring trust in myself

——————————————————————

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Confession

Bleaching from within,

While remembering her .

I find myself blank, totally empty,

Stranded in the mob

Her words still whisper in my ears,

What retaliation, a life may suffer

Confused, completely perplexed

Love or hatred,

What she deserves .

Very difficult to decide,

I know only one fact

She strengthened me amidst crisis,

Flourishing on her sacrifices

Bangaluru

Hey Bangaluru!

How are you?

How do you hold my friends away from me?

Do you a piece of land or a magnetic field?

Do you know?

How sweet my friends are there?

I have never visited you,

Perhaps you are a magician .

Trapping the beauty in your lap,

She always pulsates in my vein .

Hey Bangaluru!

I dream one day,I shall touch you .

Loving Soul

One may assess her eagerness,

Restlessness,

Desperation,

Sense of possession .

Although she lives far away,

In a concrete jungle,

Surrounded by earthy ideas and objects,

Still she nourishes the soft feelings,

Yes, she is you

No need to ask about her credentials,

Just feel it,

Fit oneself in to it ..

One will find herself emerging from misty surroundings

Knowing that she wants to meet the imaginary creature

A strong pulling force,

Last moment surviving instinct .

Embracing him in isolation, invisibly

Web of suspicion,

Mistrust,

Uncertainty

Keeps the souls apart,

Waiting for the moments,

Few words,

Making images in the closed eyes .

She lives far way
