Him

 Him

I call him my friend.

Around whom,

The most beautiful!

Always I feel.

A warm mug of coffee,

Soothing my soul;

Not perfect, Not around;

Stubborn: yet loving.

Insanely humorous!

Flip side of me, the coin;

Born for me: Obsessive, 

With all inhibitions;

One moment; I hold him, 

I know, I am home!

A Black day marked in Gold

Aug 7, 2020 - A Black day marked in Gold

The day indeed was black.

 

Bad Weather, 

Failed landing gear;

The last act,

Of Ultimate courage;

Around, 18 died!

Bad weather,

Fall of the hill;

The last breath,

Beneath the mud;

More than 50 died!

Bad weather,

Breeding virus;

To last for long, forcing

Masks and distance;

Another 100 died!

Bad weather,

Torrential rains,

Flooding the banks,

Drowning the lands;

Not sure, who else will die!

Amongst  the gloom,

Lived the heroes!

Striving to help,

Braving the weather;

Oblivious to time!

Daring their life,

At times;

Giving up too!

Bow, to your courage;

Bow, to your selflessness;

Humanity is Gold!

 

The Wind

The Wind

In the wild, vast ocean,

I was lost;

Like a ship, with sails,

Yet no wind;

From nowhere, then

Did you blow upon;

Gentle, strong,

Cool and warm;

Caught off guard!

Oh! dear friend,

Jolted by your,

Sheer warmth;

I was rocked;

Swept off!

Yet preserved; and

Pushed forth!

You, my friend,

Being the wind;

Set the ship,

Sailing again!

The Pandemic

The Pandemic

Pangs of Pain;

Like, the ocean waves,

Seiges the heart!

Reminding, of the change.

The world, is not the same;

It's dark, throughout.

Life, distraught! And

Struggle we along;

I really wish,

Come the day soon;

When the sun shines,

Bright and warm;

The world would then,

 Get moving, and

The young could at last,

Get, out to play.

The One

The One

The heart aches,

For the one;

Who once was,

The One!

Still is,

The only one: at times,
Becomes,

No one;

In void, am I;

Of the One.

Embrace Life

Embrace Life

Embrace life; for

That's all, you have!

With love and laughter,

Health and happiness;

Quest for knowledge,

Gist for goodness;

Bowing down, to

The Omnipotent.

Embrace life; for

That's all, you have!

Missing You

Missing You

Missing you, is just a word,

Behind which, I hid, lots more;

It's not all real, yet

Deep and surreal!

An obsession, fuelled with

Hormone in-flows;

Thirst to converse with,

Pure high brows;

The accord in, contriving together,

One complementing, the other;

The free flow of discourse,

Worldly and sacred;

Yearning for,

The sweet nothings!

Songs of joy, 

The same singing;

Yearning for,

The sweeter mores!

The ecstasy:

The inner roars;

Missing you, is just a word,

Behind which, I hid, lots more;

Nevertheless, the torment of

Disparity, yet;

The bliss of knowing, thou

Would behold;

Yes! I rejoice in,

The soulmate in you;

Nay, I wish, the

Mate in you;

May be, all these are,

Just one-sided, 

And hence, you are,

So silent!

May be, all these are,

Just one-sided, 

Still I wish, you are,

Not silent!

Pain

The Pain

Pain is sweet.

A longing,

A wait;

A well wish,

An apology;

Forgiveness!

An acceptance,

A hope for the best;

Pain is love.

The Lie

The Lie

Life is a lie;

Emotions, a bigger one.
Attachments, just

Illusions;

Death, indeed is,

The Ultimate truth.

Well; may be,

The Only one!

The Tranquil Intimacy

The Tranquil Intimacy

Destined to die, long before;

Given a chance, even to take birth!

Could be for, any tranquil intimacy,

As it is,with unspoken words;

The quietude can bring forth,

A slow, silent death; or

It can help bloom, a new

Life, with no expectations!

I adore, and despise, the tranquility;

I choose, to accept the quietude.

But, I hope and desire, only,

For the new bloom!

Bliss of Warmth

Bliss of Warmth

Words Fail!

In front of actions;

That are fierce, full of love,

And without expectations;

All one can do is,

Not thank; and just feel,

The embracing goodness, with

The engulfing numbness!

That indeed is, the true bliss,

And actual warmth,

 Of having,

A dear friend.

Work in the time of Corona

Work in the time of Corona

Covoid 19! The virus;

A frenzy of madness!

Social Distancing, and

Home quarantine;

Cultural boom of,

Work from home;

The ultimate call to,

Over commune ;

Mass outbreak of,

Communicating!

In all ways known,

To mankind yet;

Zoom, webex, Teams,

WhatsApp and skype;

In addition to all,

Official mails and calls;

Social distancing is a must.

But to keep sane;

Must stay away, from

All Commune!

The Mother Eagle

The Mother Eagle

The mother Eagle,

With young ones to cheer;

Soars up high,

Up the sky with fear.

Fear of not, the towering heights;

But of the danger:

Her chicks might betide!

Flying alone in the vast blue sky,

Void of company she rightly desires;

Circling and circling with empty thoughts,

Just to fend for her own young tots.

Gliding smooth or,

Flapping hard;

She is ambitious, anxious;

Full of fear; And Void!
