Eternal Walk

Oh, my Soulmate!
Keep me in your heart,
Let's walk to the eternal goal.

Come, let's walk together,
to reach the destination
where the sky hugs the earth,
for ever.

Oh, my beloved!
you're truly my soulmate,
incarnate your profound love
every now and then.

Come, come, come!!!
Let's walk together,
to engross the crimson dawn,
to make our love
like crimson horizon
from where sun peeps down the earth,
to spray its light, to exsiccate
all melancholic tears of her eyes.

Come, my soulmate
come to me and walk together
where ocean ends to sky
where every dusk is ornated
with a zillion stars, to be lost
in the depth of night.

Come, come, come,
Oh my beloved
You're my hope
to engross me
into the eternal depth
of your bosom and might,
to entwine our soul
and walk together
to be lost in infinite horizon
where sky embraces the earth
and makes her for ever
in the eternal walk of life.

Melancholy Song

My dearest Poetry
Sing me a melancholy song
On the devastation of
Hiroshima & Nagasaki
On the demolition of
Twin towers
How many have lost their lives
Their cry and pain
Saying good bye to this world for ever
To their beloved one
To meet them in next birth
If so
But what shall be the destination
On which planets they will meet
Sing me the song of their
Wailing wives, mothers, children
And of their relatives
My sweetest Poetry
Sing me the melancholy song
Of disaster on the earth
The power of cavalry
Crushing the innocent lives
My Heartiest Poetry
Sing me the melancholy song
On the starving lives
Dying for want of food
My bosom Poetry
Sing me the melancholy song
How the people of this earth
Getting frustrated of their daily life
How the people of this earth
Wasting their days toil
In search of bread
Despite of heart and soul endeavour
Some are getting but some are not
I like to wail on the melancholy song
So sing a melancholy song
That can make me to weep bitterly
The earth would laugh on me
To make me calm and to give me solace
Not to weep on the past deed of mankind
The coming generation will certainly establish
Love, peace, prosperity and friendship
Where every one will look like a blooming flower.

Definition Of Life

Poetry is the definition of life
when life propagates despite all obstacles
like the stream of poetry flows
within a zillion thoughts and emotions

Poetry evolves for new creation
like the nature creates every moment
sprouting from the soul of a saint
inspiring every moment to create.

Tides of poetry flows all along
in love, joys, peace and sorrows
to enrich fertility of life

Poetry coheres living and non-living
material and spiritual to walk together.

I Searched For You

I searched for you in Mosque, Church,

Temple, Gurdwara, and at so many places
where you are being chanted
in various names of God or
any powerful spirit of nature

I found solace and peace
for the time being
but when I returned to my hermitage
disappointment starred me

I sat in meditation
chanted your various names, but still
disappointment followed me

So, I came out beneath the open sky
in the field, then
I saw you ploughing fields
sowing seeds of life
without caring about sun and rain
for creation of a new life
for survival of the existing life

I saw you in blooming flowers
without caring about sun, rain, thunder and storms
spreading thy fragrance,
pleasing all passers by
I saw you being ripened with fruits and corns
for nourishment of all lives

I saw you making roads
hugging sun, rain and bitter cold
in your bosom, for all the travelers of the world
making them reach
to the goal of their lives

I saw you, building mansions
irrespective of seasons for comfort of lives
self residing under the roof of a thousand ventilations
and rejoicing the natural phenomenon of life

I saw you in whore lanes
selling her body for survival of her life
and survival of lives of dependents
and of her kids

I saw you in whore lanes
entertaining her customers
to rejoice in the fun of life

I saw you flying in open sky
chirping the song of freedom
choosing the grains in the field
for amusement of natural life.

I saw you in shambles
sacrificing the life of cattle
being slaughtered brutally
for making delicious dishes
to rejoice in the fun of life

I saw you in the fragrance
of thy sweat coming out
due to days' toil

I saw you in changing seasons of life

I saw you giving rain and light

I saw you in sky, water, in land

I saw you
evolving for creation of new life
for a new fuller life and its decay.

Lata Mangeshkar

Emitting from the Vina of Saraswati
due to vibration of strings
the melody spontaneously spreads out
amongst one of the melodies is the tune
coming out from the throat of Lata Didi
as if Goddess Saraswati has crafted it

The voice of Lata Didi is certainly
like the perpetual stream full of tranquility
evolved through magnificent clarion of life,
permutation and combination of all feelings
expressed through a vocalist.

May God bless her with all blessing
it is my only prayer
and sat sat naman on thy holy feet
