Thoughtlessness

Gurgaon 2015

He looked in the mirror

Lost

Broken dreams and empty promises

Mocked

Fragmented memory frame

Teased

Haunting sinuous words

Wallowed

Strange angry face

Howled

Hollow floating emotions

Snarled

One sharp quick cut

Escaped

From the miseries

--Rescued--

 Sometimes we are so thoughtless - in a spurt of a weak moment take our own lives. It is a crime to do so in the eyes of our Lord.
Please forgive these souls.

शुभकामनायें

लम्हा लम्हा यूँ ही गुज़रे
ये ज़िंदगानी
तेरी पलकों के तले

कतरा क़तरा प्यार का
भिगोता रहे
उम्र भर

तिनका तिनका जोड़ कर
बना अहसासों का
शानदार किला

आज फिर कहर बरसा है

चेन्नई २०१५ (Net)

आज फिर कहर बरसा है
नन्ही जान के आंसू से भरा है
भूख से बिलखते
गीले कपड़ों में सिसकते
एक पग सूखी धरती को तरसा है
हे प्रभु ! ये कैसी परीक्षा है
उन मासूम को क्यों परखा है
अभी-अभी तो खोली हैं आँखें
अभी तो पहली मुस्कान से सबका मन जीता है

आज फिर कहर बरसा है
बाढ़ में बहती एक ज़िंदा सी लाश को देखा है
मजबूर हूँ में भी
किसी तरह एक पेड़ की डाली को थामा है
उसी पे बैठ तेरा तमाशा देखा है
दो दिन से उसकी पत्ती चबा पेट भरा है
ना जाने क्या हुआ होगा मेरी चिरैया का
जिसे पिंजरे में आज तक कैद रखा है
आज समझ आया उसका दर्द क्या है
क्यूंकि आज फिर केहर बरसा है....

CREATIVITY

Khushboo's creation

Cosmic energy surged

Radiating tenacious vibes

Eradicating numbness

Around the nebula of life

Tempting the core

Intimate feelings surfaced

Vernacular conversations ensued

Inviting the moods

Trespassing the heart

Yearning matures.

Creation of life surmounts!!!

हज़ारों ख्वाइशें

मेरे धड़कते सीने में 
लिपटी सपनों की तरह 
हज़ारों ख्वाइशें ऐसी 
जो महके चनदन जैसी 

मेरे नयनो में बसे 
मीठे ख्वाब हो जैसे 
अरमानो से भरे 
खिले फूलों जैसे 

मधुर गीतों की तरह 
छेड़े सुरीले तराने 
दिल गुदगुदाए 
प्रीत के हैं प्यासे 

तेरी मुस्कान करे राज 
मेरे दिल की बगिया पे 
पिघलती मेरी साँसे 
मिश्री सी घुलती जाये  

स्नेहिल स्पर्श छू जाये 
अंतर्मन तब मुस्काये  
हज़ारों ख्वाइशें ऐसी 
मोगरे की खुशबु जैसी

बदलाव

नवंबर २०१५ 

बरसों से उस कमरे की खिड़की खुली थी
दम घोटने वाली दुर्गन्ध से लथपथ
दो कदम की ही तो है दूरी
आज सोचा हाथ बड़ा बंद कर ही दूँ
कुछ खिड़कियां बंद ही अच्छी
वक़्त के साथ बदलाव ज़रूरी है
कमरे की साज सज्जा बदलना भी
कुछ ताज़े फूलों की महक
अपनेपन की मिठास
और ढेर सारी मुस्कराहट


आज सुकून की नींद आएगी
नयी किरण से लिपटी
खिली खिली सुबह खिलखिलाएगी

ज्वारभाटा

उठती लहरों की खामोश चीखें
सपनो को पहना कफ़न
अरमानो को रौंदते किनारों
पर सिसकती बिखरी पड़ी हैं

 गुस्सैल हवाएं
चीत्कार करती , उजाड़ती
शोर मचाती वीरान करती
रास्तों से गुज़रा करती हैं

मौन शब्द वाक्य की माला
में अपना वजूद ढूँढ़ते
मूक साँसों में बसें
क्रंदन करते सोये पड़े हैं

अधखुली आँखों में भयावाह सपने
तड़पते, तांडव करते
सब कुछ नष्ट करते
अपनी ही धुन में बड़े चले है

Winter chills

Day 31 - I enjoyed the journey here very much and hope to be part of this for many more years. Loved the daily prompts and writing styles. Other then few days I tried to go with the prompts.

Time for few Goodbyes’

Long grumpy days

And sweltering sun

Parched wallowing earth

Chameleons and squirrels

Resting for a season

Stuffing with ample sustenance

Working on a silence

Fresh new green sprouts

Peaking buds blossom

Emanating intoxicating fragrance

Melodious chirpings drifts

Bringing in first chills

Dew drops sparkles

On velvety shining grass

Heady sensations surface

Rejoice …….

Winter chills are here again.

Day 26 OctPoWriMo

Forever young ‘Teesh’

Day 25 OctPoWriMo - Today's prompt - best childhood toy which brought joy.. pushed me instantly down the memory lane and pulled out my cute little bunny "Teesh" . 

Hidden behind the artificial wall

Familiar ribbon peaked

Most prized possession

Reassuring my lost memories

Flooding my insides

Bridging instantly

Present to past

Sweet remembrances

Resurfaced

Assuring

Returning to soft innocence

Where tattered “Teesh” lay

Nibbled nose n ear

Half grinning with absent mouth

Clutching onto it

Overwhelming sense of existence

Brought a smooth flow of saline

Instantly dissolving all trepidations

Filling with serenity.

Light of sovereignty

Day 24 OctPoWriMo

2015 Gurgaon

Lifted high in spirits

Walked to the eternity

Only to find blinding

Light at the end of the tunnel

Heard sounds of dear ones

Weeping and pleading to stop

That flashing light there

Was calling again and again

Peace and serenity persists there

Somewhere deep had a feeling

Few steps more to be liberated

From the captivity of the realm

Blinding light of faith

Surged inside

Scattering imperturbable liveliness

Satiating the quest

Calmness encased the humanity

Heightened sense of being

Supreme power resides there

Privileged to accomplish

Oceanic Drop

Day 23 OctPoWriMo

2015

On a fine cool autumn morning

Dew drops glistened like pearl

On the velvety leaves

Sparkled with sunbeams

Queen bee fluttering over

To quench it’s thirst

From the globules

Along with the setting sun

Standing on the beach

Soothing oceanic waves

Makes music to the ears

Valiant feet dashes inside

To savour the briny marine

And cherish the moments

Miniscule drops condensed

To form the suspended pregnant cloud

Only to burst open

Scattering on the arena

Merging with the seawater

Trivial elfin bead

Transformed .

Divine Goddess Durga

Day 21 OctPoWriMo

 

Goddess Durga (image from net)

O’ Mighty Goddess Durga

Singing songs of your grandeur

Let me submerge in your worship

Help me not to wander

You ruled the darkness

Banishing demons of the night

Cleaning the aura

With all your glorious might

O’ Valiant mother divinity

Let us engulf in your affection

Liberate from the clutches of dark

Immerse in your devotion

Light the fire of truth

Burn slackness and callousness

Let me be empty

To be one with oneness

Tenderness

Day 20 OctPoWriMo

Image from Net

immense warmth is sensed

under the furry wings

after an exhausting flight

with food in it’s beak

by fondness cuddled the young ones

feeding and nurturing

shielding from the seekers

with prodigious tenderness

soon will teach to spread their wings

to flutter spontaneously shorn of attachment

and conquer the realm!!

Old Bench

Day 19- OctPoWriMo 2015

Image from Net

I was blessed to hear their

Sweet innocent gibberish nothings

They adorned me with

Buckets full of garden earth

I was freshly painted then

Full of life and valour

I was proud to witness their

First acquitted zealous kiss

They promised a lifetime forever

With love and passion

I was young then

Full of energy and vibrant

I was emotional to see them

Exchanging vows under the tree

Assurances for togetherness

Building faith and affection

I was aging gracefully

With fearlessness

I was thrilled to know their blossoms

Twins were they

Exact replica of their mother

Jovial as their blood relation

I was getting old

Yet I was as alive as I could be

I was elated to feel them growing

Soon standing tall

As handsome as they could be

Now showing more traces of their father

I was happy

To see my family growing

I was greeting the old couple after long

They seem drained of life

Their kids with family of their own

Had discarded them out of their lives

I am one with them old,

Exhausted and secluded.

Perception

Day 18 OctPoWriMo 2015

mage from net

Slimy slithery creature

Slithered in the backyard

Under the stars

It ruled the garden

Bringing in creeps

Every time lighting struck

Heart pounded at a galloping speed

At the first stroke of sunlight

Beaming fresh on the flowers

With trembling feet

Moved myself to open the backdoor

There still lay the long creature

Only it was not so terrifying  

There lay a harmless rope instead.

Pensive Dance

Day 17 OctPoWriMo 2015- Cascade(a/b/c,d/e/A,f/g/B,h/i/C)

Her flowing gown swept the floor

She glistened in sweet sweat

With warm heavy exultant breath

She tapped her elated feet

And swirled and swirled around

Her flowing gown swept the floor

Without cessation danced to the tune

Melting with the melody, Overjoyed

She glistened in sweet sweat

Pirouetted in profound meditative state

Her face radiated pure bliss

With warm heavy exultant breath

Day 15 OctPoWriMo

Image From net

Flying high in dreams

Pursuing for the stars and moon

Taking chances

Aspiring to touch the sky

Following visions

Balancing the arena of

Wisdom and grace

Dancing in the woods

Unrestricted

Chirping sweet melodies

Listening to the music

Floating from ‘His’ flute

Spreading serenity

Under the ‘Banyan’ tree

In complete peace

Surrender in silence

Be one with one

Dissolve into oblivion

Dissipate into ether to

Attain salvation.

Between the memory Bridge

Day 14 OctPoWriMo

Photo by Larisa Koshkina at PublicDomainPictures.net

I stood on the bridge .. Recollecting!

Revisiting down the memory lane

Adjudicating  !

How time flies

Some faces become memories

Some memories died out

How thoughts change

Once which was very dear

Becomes archaic now

How individuals transform

At times.. Closest

Now nowhere in close vicinity

I stood on the bridge.. remembering

The gone old good and bad times

Things left behind for good

Living in present

Relishing each and every moment

Rejoicing!!

Exposed to Life

Day 13 OctPoWriMo

Soulful Brazilian Morning  2012

Watching myself in mirror

Watching inside me

Exposed to brutality

Exposed to the truth

Truth is inevitable

Truth is certain

Certain memories enriched

Certain pain healed

Healed myself

Healed the soul

Soul is pure

Soul is real

Real fragrance floated

Real happiness felt

Felt the sensations

Felt the love

Love is bliss

Love is life

Life is to be explored

Life is to enjoy

Enjoy freedom

Enjoy purity

Purity resides inside

Purity signifies peace

Peace is esoteric

Peace conquers

Conquers meaning of existence

Conquers demons of night

Night is scary

Night is sacred

Sacred paths

Sacred messages

Messages are conveyed

Messages are to observe

Observe the rules

Observe the surrounding

Surrounding is serene

Surrounding surrounds music

Music heals

Music spreads tranquility

Tranquility of dreams

Tranquility of thoughts

Thoughts travel afar

Thoughts are ephemeral

Ephemeral is existence

Ephemeral is life

Life is a story

Life is expressed

Expressed

Story!!

Serendipity

Day 12 OctPoWriMo 2015 

Along the riverside

Bells reverberated

Compiling the memories

Desperate to relive

Eliminating the darkness

Feeling light

Gratifying the soul from the

Helms of time

Inspiring the fauna

Juggling between heaven and hell

Kaleidoscope of remembrances

Languished with time

Merging within

Neutralizing the whirlpool

Oozing out the

Painful reminiscences

Quenching its thirst

Recalling vivacity

Spreading cheerfulness

Tempting the passion  

Until

Vivid celebrations

Whispered soothingly

Xeroxing the exuberance

Yearning to compete with blending

Zephyr, enchanting the persona.

What is there?

Day 10 - OctPoWriMo

Manesar,July2015

What is there in yesterday, today or tomorrow

Water the soul’s garden with love

Mind will produce flowers from within

Nurture your thoughts with compassion

Universe will spread its fragrance

What is there in pain sufferings and crying

Sprinkle lesions with smile

Wounds will ooze out the venom

 Be the flowing lake with a spoonful of salt

Rather be a stagnant glass of water

What is there in loosing destroying or contempt

Spread the balm of affection

Happiness will reverberate

Scatter your positive warmth

All will be calm and pure.

FIERY FIRE

Day 9 - OctPoWriMo

Image From OctPoWriMo 2015

Razing fire is somewhere deep within

Cavernous burning reside, inside

Taken oath to terminate poison

Ogling from the core underneath

Persistent fire that lights inside

Impulses to reach the supreme

Ambitions for the highest

Promises, thyself.

Raging passions hurled

The complexity of an ocean

Tectonic plates waddled

To influence reminiscence .
