SPIRITOMETRY



How you stirred
my galactic eyes;
it whirled, and whirled
pirouette to your uniforce dream -
a notion
to my sight

a distant merger -
Becoming of me
no less you, nor less mine
to treasure a look
in your spiritometry

ROPING UP AN IGNORANCE



I never waited
to stand a while
and let the fruits fall
naturally from the branches of a tree, and

In ignorance
I started plucking fruits
from an old tree
Knowing not
how others could feel the pain

Truth belied

I turned
to my inner ignorance
and
plucked my ears or two
in repentance

and, stiated my 'self'
roping up a bucket-full
from a deeper well
of my ignorance

VILLAGE LIFE



I run my thoughts
On the wings of a butterfly
And
I would see with bigger eyes
the caravans -
Busy ants marching in search of foods 

Life in village -
So tranquil, so true
The musical notes 
of falling rains;
How not to wet and quench our soul 
The quack, and the cawing 
Routine of the day

Little childrens
Run, and play
Frocking their pleasure out 
Parents walk their fields;
Grandmother gossip soft, and
Grandfather take his Hukkah out 

I run my thoughts
on my loving past: my Village life
That
This city hub make a desert
of my present  


All ruins, and no joy

LIPSING OF MY HEART



You walk mountains
of your thoughts
Raising heights over heights;
I of a lighter veins 
flap my wishes 
in supplication at your altar
May with prayerful hands, and
mumbling lips
You could hear 
Lipsing of my heart

निर्मल



कण कण में फैलाती
अरुण कमल
विप्र धार
सहज संजोए
शांत सरल
भाव यह कितना निर्मल

पूज्य प्रणय
प्राण सकल
मोक्ष वन्दना
हर दिन, हर पल
कितना निश्छल, ह्रदय
वरुण तल

रिमझिम रिमझिम
बरस
भावेग में बह
पसर पसर
कितना निश्छल, कितना निर्मल

YARN



One spinning
was not enough
for the yarn
to make a fabric of my own
and
embellished it atop
layering one more
over my skin
with
thoughts and spaces -
time in haste
running by

PRUDENCE



Your pages
in omnibuses of wisdom
started flipping
pages one after the other
by the light of the night wind

Emblazoned
with starry eyes
an invisibility sweeps
across the skies
echoing the realm of your stately kingdom

There, perching upturned
Owl of all wisdom
Take prudence
at the behest of
"Wish fulfilling tree"

PAWING UNKNOWN



I search you
in meaning of your existence -
Blooming and fading away
Caught between
my past memories, where once
I did reveled my days -
Carefree
my belongingness onto you
Now, when time slips by
Breathing deep into me
I revenge not, but
Take a silent mark
Pawing its invisible steps
Somewhere
Into the unknown

BURNING CORE



What holds you inside, that
it melted mountain
in one sight.
All days and nights
Sun and Moon
take their chance of valor
wearing armor of gold and silver
And none win a bet

If the ruling is
not by love
Then
What else could it be
That in
every passionate heart
Lurks a burning core

घूप अन्धकार


दीये की बत्ती
आगे से काली पर गयी है
धुआँ दे रही है
जल रही है -
ईंधन मात्र शेष है
केवल बत्ती ही भींगी है
पात्र ने आईने का सबूत ही मिटा लिया है

जिसे फ़िक्र था
कहीं अँधेरे में मिलने का, उसे
बुझते दिए की लौ ने
अंतिम छन
पूरा कर दिया -
अँधेरे ने उजाला कर दिया

बुझते दिए की लौ
आश्रित है, कहीं
ठहराव लिए

कोई
अनवरत सी चल रही है -
घूप अन्धकार
देखो
उत्तम, भरपूर

PRUDENCE



Your pages
in omnibuses of wisdom
started flipping
pages one after the other
by the light of the night wind

Emblazoned
with starry eyes
an invisibility sweeps
across the skies
echoing the realm of your stately kingdom

There, perching upturned
Owl of all wisdom
Take prudence
at the behest of
"Wish fulfilling tree"

ENTWINED



If could find
two hearts, entwined
No sublimation could
do what inebriated souls
Can do in a flicker
Even His standing lulls
by lovers sight

If in penalty
of my deeds
I could find warmth
of your breath
heaving inside me
Let me do the crime
Again and again

Let humanity stand
hemlock in his hands
Who cares about death
Parting is not my way
As life is wholly predetermined
to accord a perennial fest
in eternal togetherness

DEEPEST ROOT



When I could not find
any words
lofty enough
to call you, there

I mimicked
a resonance
from the deepest roots of my heart
and, found a deepest pull
lifting me
into your unbound space

there, I found you
peeping
an infinite say
to my beeping heart

sans any tongue -
an utter silence, prevailing

CREATURE WITH SPIKES



How I give
my tender heart -
a gift of a twilight
that
You have been
lurking so enviously
braiding dusk
by your dark strands
pawing creaking nights -
invisible cricket, moonless

Were you not, yesterday
that pecked me
with your
luscious green
and, promished life to sprout
out of my barren land
and, Now
when the present is
receding fast
You turn me
into a creature with spikes
Roving antennae into the dark

How I give
my tender heart -

REMINISCENCE



Remembrance are
but the sweetest tempest
to our heart

We have communicated
with pleasant glances
the meaning of our smiles

Those senses, beyond
What noumenonic IS
Where light fleck in unison

I see
what I have come to see.
You vision what you see beyond

Mere 'I'
wriggle in itself, but
In duality bonding creeps over all

Parting was
not an ounce of pain
that I drew out with my blood

Reminiscences are
but faithful blessings
that by you, I was blessed

ANOTHER TAKE



Such was the existential bearing on me
that
Inspite of seeing you
shrouded in darkness -
Night loving tree

I sequestered myself away
from my own
And, saw
My silence
Dangling down the leaves

bearing silently
on the tree
all lonely fruits -
ripe
for the survival of my verdant dreams
consuming night after nights
and
another take

TWO END



What desperation
pains you there -
as you throw your legs

What spontaneity
gain you wriggling -
improvising your weakness

What repose
I dirge in lamentation -
Eyrie eyes owl me from above

All dreams are
not motteled green
when shadow is vised between two ends

CAUSE ME



Cause me, not
to thunder
a pellet into mud.
Petrichor
the essence of your being
wafting my body and soul

Such is my wish
to drench you
by my love -
finding my whole
in your drizzling warmth

Womb you inside



If by ripples
of your love
I could see you
smudging your face
into the skies
I will willingly,
not tilt my head above
But, will
womb you inside
mirroring your face
to the depth of an oceanic blue

ENORMITY



Beset not, O tranquility
your enormity
in banal platitude
of which humans have
taken an ego out of you
in daily faith
Dare,
Take River by swell
Winds by storm
Earth by quakes
Sea by wild waves
and Thunder by rain

Inspiration: Swati A Gadgil Jee
Poem: "Mindful Nature"

LIGHTHOUSE



You have asked me to
rebuild the lighthouse
that had crumbled
down in stormy past

How could I tarry myself away
when I could find you
riding back on oceanic tides
to the glow of my heart

alone I stand day and night
on these familiar beaches
taking thunder and rain
in all conviviality

Your coming
have satiated all my thirst
and "I won't let you go" - hearing this
All ocean dried away

Amour de soi



How unblinking
I submerge my faith
day and night, unflinching
in ocean of thy love -
my pisces eyes
Yet you wriggle me, dead
on an earthy atmosphere
playing trickery
on my Amour de soi
Skylarking
polemics of the skylark; verbatim
in your prolonged voice
