Life is going great

every mile stone

on the way to home

is mid way stone

no relaxing

until reach the destiny

life means: going great
 

I started alone

now cherish the choir

on musical path

My birth place

 All over in farms

bloomed yellow mustered flowers

as gold flakes scattered in fields

Dew drops on the leaves

studded as silvery pearls

chilly and serene winter

Bathing in rivers

juicy delicious mangoes

the unforgettable taste

Smiling lush green trees

season’s fruit laden orchards

juicy sweet sweating summer

Water logged in fields

croaking sound of the toads

ocean came walking itself

Small water animals

loved watching fishes and frogs  

floating paper boats in ponds

Colorfull spring flowers

mainly roses and  marigold

bloomed broadly in the gardens

Welcomed waiving hands

under its wealthy shadow

in cool breeze the ‘Peepal’ tree

 

Tall bamboos with wind 

danced and filled sweetness in ears

resonating flute music

Yearned to live and die

in that Indian village's womb

but the fate took far from it 

Tequila shot

if you have lost yours

take heart of blue agave

restore for love

blue agave buried

spirit is shut up in

tequila bottle

gives its heart

to power ours

the blue agave

shoots down

load of your anxiety

tequila shot

Midnight Sun

in jammed mind
for the dreams
no space left

no sleep in eyes
intense heat of stroking rays
kept in sweat

autumn plant leaves
waked up in the morning
damp and wet

Chicken limerick

Her one of eggs, stolen from hatchery.
Mom went to look the shop of grocery.
Not came back much time taken,
No telescope, had the chicken,
Went to check problem, out of poultry.

One cup

my soul always yearn
one cup in the evening
and one cup in morn

Ocean haiku

ocean tries to sleep
but wind stroking its body
awakes emotions

wind pilfers to gift
clouds do not hold stolen drops
give back to ocean

Little, so what

We too can do lot of things

no matter we are little stars.

Let dad do the big things,

we would do some, small.

Watching it we have learnt,

now we want to experience.

We would explore ourselves

and give dad some assistance.

Let’s help dad in his affairs

as his helping, obedient lad.

Some day, we too have to be

a responsible and proud dad.

Hanuman

Deity of courage and power, Hanuman

as son of mother Anjana, you were born.

In the childhood You were very naughty,

used powers to pester saints, as the monkey.

Could lift the elephants while you playing

with Your breath could create whirlwinds.

Double decker

Doubles the capacity of carrying

by putting one deck on the other,

Pulled by a single engine and

driven by the single driver.

Occupies single space on surface

minimizes traffic congestion.

Good for the environment, to emit

comparatively less poison.

Used for the mass transit

and to benefit more, together,

Double decker gives an idea too.

how be, on a single bed, two lovers.

Tea break

For the twenty minutes tea time break

very eagerly we all colleagues await.

After several minutes long occupation

the  tea time provides us fine recreation.

Sometimes we find excuses to go on tea break

to have the leisure and refreshing our self.

While  gossiping with colleagues and friends

we share ideas and wish, it should never end.

In this twenty minutes tea  break of leisure,

we add knowledge too  along-with  pleasure.

Race

with keeping your pace

most vital is being on track

in life and car race

Violin

bow goes to and fro

touching gently to hard string

violin chants music

swiftly and softly

bow dances on the bosom

violin sings for it

You are formless

witness of all things

Beyond the reach of senses

You exist free and formless

These are not my own:
right or wrong,  joy and sorrow, 

feelings of mind; gift of yours 

I want to strive for you

You have conferred soul

to realize who am I, and

senses to know your creations

Indulged in looking

just your external creations

I did not know who I am?

we put on our senses

curtain of desire and lust

I could not see in myself

flowing in all things

I let the things flow to me

I did narrow down my mind

though I know it well

striving is root of sorrow

Lord! I want to strive for you

Godavari

Godavari, southern Ganges of India, could get love of her's,

very closed where she's born, less than hundred kilometers.

But she wanted to look for a hero, conceited of her beauty.
As she could get no matching alliance in her nearby vicinity.
Preferred to voyage thousand miles, to reach her superman.

Lastly met her mate, Bay of Bengal, son of Pacific Ocean.

She did this because her children were living in the east,

had to provide habitation to them; food, water to subsist.

Millions children depend on her, they dwell on her banks.

She helps irrigation; fishing, ecology and vegetation lends.

The largest river of South India, named also as ‘Gautami’.

As said, is an offshoot of Ganges, brought by ‘Gautam Rishi’.

Hindu’s great pilgrimage exists at bank of this sacred river.

Many millions people take dip and purify in her holy water.

Originating from ‘Brahmagiri’ hills near ‘Trimbakeshwar’ town

which is most sacred place for Hindus, their pilgrimage crown.

For  ‘Kumbh’ holy bath to wash their sins,  millions come down.

Real things i need

When I was child, things I get are free, I knew.

Priced are mere candy, ice-cream and others few.

Pond, nearby my village was owned by everyone.

Used to bath and swim freely, there whoever went.

Never knew that in future I shall be deprived.

For drinking water too, I would have to pay price.

Land would have been captured, by mighty people.

To earn the livelihood, we would have to struggle.

We would be caused to work at other’s instance.

To do things at my own I would have lesser chance.

But you gave me strength and wisdom to learn;

To pay for my necessary things, knew how to earn.

You gave everything that I needed here to subsist.

But to get, yet more and more my mind insists.

Your door is open, where everything is available.

But to achieve real things I need, find me incapable.

Lord! I want to grow that much, I know, who am I

What are the things! I need to be here and why.

Rocks at sea

beaten constantly
though gaze unabashed at waves
sitting stubborn rocks

Eyes are too small

the eyes are too small

to see vastness of beauty

the picture you have created

to tell how many drops  

the clouds I see would fall

science has no answer to it

curious to know that

how many trees the seed has

don’t find any solution

where the chain began;

seed to tree to seed will go

how many generations

to find your address

strolled in temples pilgrimage

you lived in me loving me

as to catch fragrance,
runs in shadow of forest:
fool deer has musk in own gland

Tears are costly

Costliest water

In the universe – tears

Do not let go waste

Tears

drank thousands liters

refined to release few drops

through eyes - pure water

frozen heart melts

comes out flowing from eyes  

the priceless water

heart is rock of salt

salty flavor of tears is

taste of the pain

possess all the colors

of rainbow except bliss

reason - tear is clear

Path of his adove

path of his adobe

full of beauty and fragrance

blossoms of roses are placed

soft soothe pleasant

if en route on that passage

fill with joy and happiness

Sun fires

family members

stay disciplined in orbs

Sun fires intense

Bouquet

Sentiments potted

in arranged bunch of flowers 

the bouquet for you
