cricketing game

Scores in life run to a shore, But in cricket runs are a score, An umpire is a seer, Commentator is a cheer, Mind dances high in air, Sneers at people low, Acrobatic soars spin the ball, Down it comes over the wall, It’s cricket, an entertainer, Alert and brisk are the fielders Hitting the ball for runs, Is the mind’s calculative fun. Balancing bat, ball, runs and wickets, A balanced...

democracy hung

When criminals stand for election, Democracy needs an ejection, It takes the road to bane, When people are no more sane, Yearly elections, yearly row, Pinches the economy early low. Citizens are set for duty, Hung for votes is democracy. Ugly clamor for gearing votes, Nation on a descending note. Nothing puts an end to crime, Citizens live in grimy slime, But democracy is for citizens, Who are...

beauty

Freshness of nature is beauty, Beauty of nature is design, Movement of life is beauty, Beauty of truth is dignity, Calmness of mind is beauty, The charming physical beauty Of nature is its treaty, With truth and grace, Dressed and ornamented In silver and gold.

bubble

A bubble am I, When in trouble, To complain I like, Of life having spikes, People do not understand, The agony I withstand. The food is not suitable, For me who is capable, Underestimation is traumatic, For me who is dramatic, I evolve into anything, For people, I do something, Meant for physical work is not me, Economy high is all that I see. I fast for Dev Lok, It is a long-laid stroke...

solar eclipse

Panting breath and rowing boat, Slush of water sailing forth, Vast ocean witnesses new, Eclipse covers the sky in view. Silence soars with speedy breath, Eclipse closes to a fiery depth, Sun is blocked by hoary moon, Moon intersperses glowing noon, Sky is now a golden ring, Ocean waves dance to spring, Birds twitter, animals fear, Humans watch nature near. Eclipse shows in silence, Earth set for...

deep sleep

A welter of images, Skip through mind, A docile cage, Seeking pleasure, Dazed mind in stillness, Submerged thoughts in darkness, Drunk, Docile, Deep, Sleep.

transcendence

Divine emotions discarded, Evil emotions included, Mind finds truth in pieces, Where breath for life wheezes. Right through the human verve, There is a fragmentary nerve, The mind seems to be a hole, Which disintegrates human soul. How nice is the breath taken, In the forest of trees not forsaken! How nice to live in peace, When the world is in one piece! We travel into distant lands, We pry into...

life’s web

Let’s watch life as it goes, It’s as beautiful as a rose, Life is not a rigorous till, It is to understand it’s will, Take the day as it comes, Remember the day as it goes, But be meditative of its feet, Do what is expected neat, Terrain tough is adventure, Smoothy sail is pleasure, Do not be a mangled mess, Caught in a life of chess. A poem from ‘Serenading Poems Part...
