little more

I was studying in a village in primary school
My dad didn’t own a car, no school bus too.
In absence of motor vehicle  and  school bus
On my bicycle only to school I had to rush.

One summer morning found the tire deflated
At a cycle repair shop the air pump I lifted;
Started pumping in air without knowing pressure
no meter was available  for pressure measure.

I could use only my eye balls or my thumb
Could not assess pressure, excess air pumped.
The over pressure caused the tire burst.
Appearing in the important examination was must.

Till tire could be repaired I became too late
Reached fearing to miss my most important test.
Fortunately, my class teacher was so nice
She blessed me by giving some extra time

Biography of Dew

I come into existence only for few hours
though you know, my fetal age is quite longer.
My death and birth is not much complication
It’s as simple as evaporation and condensation.

Wait for the suitable condition, remaining in air;
birth as droplet as get the lower temperature.
As pearl on flower petals and leaves, I  garnish;
be in spider’s webs for their thirst to extinguish.

I love the cool, clear nights and moon is my darling,
cool your eyes and soul when you get up in morning
I have too many enemies clouds, rain, fire and sun
nature of surface and weather too, are my concern.

When air becomes jobless in the sky calm and clear

Through the nights in anguish air sheds its tears.
I am very tiny drop but do the great job for you.
make mornings pleasant and help vegetation, me the dew.

River Thames

Flowing with roaring from  
Gloucestershire to Teddington
Leaving exquisiteness here
passing through London.

North bank and south bank,
a compass of England
Very strategic position
for many cultural events.

Blessed with kisses of darling  
Oxford, Kingston, Windsor,
Feel of heaven around
for writers and nature lovers.

Great source for food and water
for the people of England,
Giving habitation to millions
for the years of thousands.

With sailing and rowing
a major leisure and pleaser,
For outing and romance
tranquil banks of the river.

Watched conquers, emperors,
flowing time of England, 
falling of London bridge,
making up of whole land,

Helping in people’s prosperity,
a boon for the England,
Fulfilling human needs always,
thriving lives flowing or frozen.

God, the supreme ruler

No power or authority greater than the GOD

Generator, Operator and Destroyer of universe,

Ruler of rulers, absolute king to rule over all,

No power or authority greater than the GOD.

We must have true faith in supreme ruler, The Lord

He  fulfils all wishes of his children as he desires.

No power or authority greater than the GOD

Generator, Operator and Destroyer of universe.

Generator, Operator and Destroyer of universe

As sole judge punishes all sinners even rulers.

By health, wealth, comfort, joy rewards believers

Generator, Operator and Destroyer of universe.

Nothing is impossible for the God in universe

It’s the God who appoints and removes all rulers

Generator, Operator and Destroyer of universe

As sole judge punishes all sinners even rulers

Blind in power

extreme light to eyes
excessiveness of power
brings blindness free

Television, shadow of life

The idiot  box progressed in idiotic way

done so long journey just in few decades.

black and white to colour of sizes varied

analogue to digital, CRT to Plasma,

LCD and LED;

high resolution, PIP, HDD  and three D

going smart every day

don’t know the future, where journey will end.

One hand shrink the world together

divide the society in classes on other-

children, ladies, cookery, sports, realty;

placing extra load on brain and eyes.

One way help learning, entertain, news, current events

other get in way of explore, play and social interact.

Whatever may be, pierced so deep in life

became immense companion;

one cannot live without a TV though

without a friend or wife, we can.

Her passion for him

waves of her passion

 lift up high  tides in the heart

Can’t see in mirror

Pencil adds to camera

Camera and pencil’s combination

fetch reality, feel and imagination

The sketches drawn by pencil

speak and make you feel -

not only liveliness of the object

but compels one too, to interpret.

The added message through sketch

is like you educate an illiterate.  

Message as give the sketched picture-

as we keep away from the nature,

even decoration will become dragon.

If no greenery is available

environment will be full of pollution;

you can mask nose from the poison

but how  will you live without oxygen?

Camera Vs pencil

Exactly same and true

Picture of objects wonderful

The magical instrument

Captures the real image

But real things become still

Logics, camera can’t fill in

Images,  camera only captures

Pencil gives birth to a picture

The sketches drawn by pencil

Speak and make you feel

Not only liveliness of the object

But compels one too, to interpret

Camera can’t take image of soul

Pencil draws sketch of in and out

camera and pencil’s combination

can fetch reality, feel and imagination

Deal of Love

Term or condition

Imposed for favor of love

turns into a deal

love is not for sale
it is God’s priceless gift
emotional feel

Power

clouds are powerful than sun

winds make the clouds run

power to stop way of wind

posses the large mountain

mice are so much powerful

in the mountains make hole.

Each and every one has power

To destruct and destroy the world

Millions from earth  disappeared

most powerful who considered

just by the little causes  small reason

Vanished from the earth in pain

Mankind consider them powerful

The idea they can construct 

Cable bursts with excess voltage

Vanilla ice cream

Snow fall in belly
Adding lusciousness to feast
Vanilla ice cream

Breast feed

to ensure wellness
mothers rely on breast feed
crave babe’s pink of health

Flute - a triolet

Hollow and holes of bamboo played with air.

Most natural, magical, musical instrument.

Makes melodious the complete atmosphere

Hollow and holes of bamboo played with air.

In hands of Lord Krishna, Hindus wish to be flute.

In tranquillity, ears sense celestial experience.

Hollow and holes of bamboo played with air;

Most natural, magical, musical instrument.

Bug's right to live

You preserve and  value the work
Even a drawing painted by your ward
The useful creatures created by god
You destroy without giving a thought.
Each and everything crafted by him
Give countless services to man kind.

Performing many important functions

Insects aerate soil, pollinate blossoms,

Control insects, decompose dead materials,

Fertilise and make nutrient, the soil.

In eco system each bug has a role  

Exist to complete the nature cycle.

Without them beauty of earth will vanish
Only those bugs can give their service.
They don’t take anything, only give
Give the bugs atleast their right to live.

Teething

completed six months
eager to see incisors
her lovely infant ’s

more teeth will reduce
dependency on her breast
will incise new era

proper brushing keeps
tartar and cavity away
wisdom embedded 

very wisely choose 
soft and swallowable food
toothless creatures

It is cruelty

Who don’t raise voice against brutality,
They are also party to animals cruelty.
Law to punish those who kills or ill treats
not enough if not implemented in true spirit.

No protection offered to animals in threat of life
Is cruelty, if preferred to leave and watch to die.
Cruel is who kills, cruel is who causes to kill,
Cruel is, competent to save but let to be killed

Sky

We are blessed by vast sky
There birds can freely fly
Sky’s clear and transparent
Lets to have view of planets.
Clouds there easily wander
To rain and spread water
Shining rays of sun and moon
Reach earth to give us boon.
Emptiness gives freedom
Of space we  like can occupy
Its vastness gives freedom
Of way we want can fly.
In nights when up our eyes
Have heavenly look in the sky
An orchard of illuminating flowers
Can too see rainbow colours.
Unlimited room for dream racing
Vast and empty sky is a blessing
Whenever we feel helpless
We look in sky to find God's address
Whatever we get from earth
She takes back everything here
Asks nothing in return, the sky
Souls warehoused in sky, when we die.

A war for love

Princess Rukmini and Lord Krishna love each other;

But to marry with king Shishupal, wants her brother.

Rukmini sends message to the Lord , to come

Requesting thereby, to take her along to his home.

Prince Rukmin  and Shishupal intercept Krishna’s path

Lord Krishna is too accompanied with brother Balram.

Balram Lord’s brother tells Rukmin, Rukmini’s brother

You are robbing happiness and blessings of her.

A king whom she doesn’t like, you force her to marry 

You are trying to trump love, that one is not a country.

Rukmi and friend Shishupal make an attack on them

Prince Rukmi gets defeated by Lord Krishna  in turn.

Krishna punishes Rukmi by shaving off half of head

Which, the Lord feels necessary to curb his arrogance.

Balaram and Shishupal are involved in a mace fight,

Shishupal is badly wounded and finally gets his defeat. 

 

Lord smiles having got his Rukmini, takes to his chariot

With all three of them the divine chariot drives off.

Water lily

green carpet spread
jewels gleam on adorned pond
yearn lay along one
***
slashed and placed on earth
piece of sky in emerald bowl
glinting coloured stars

Animal ponder

Animals too have blood, soul and suffer pain.
What they ponder within their little brain:
"Beware of human! they kill brutally, the  beasts.
Despite God has given them, a lot other feasts.
They are so dangerous, kill more and more;
Might were less precarious, if existed dinosaur.
We struggle for food, just to fill our tummy,
They slay us to give feel, their tongue yummy.
We extend  services, to them in many ways,
Give them milk; from our babies we curtail.
They consume our whole body, bit by bit,
Even to increase fertility of land, our shit.
Still hungry of our flesh and make us, prey
Without caring to protect, our rights; so we pray:
O God! bless us too and provide some more brain
Or give them intellect, to protect us and defend."
