The Nest

 The Nest

*************











With the rise of dawn,

Flew a love-bird pair,

And sat on a dead tree,

Which stood in open air.


A tiny leaf was peeping out,

life, emerging as the guest,

On the branch of that dead tree,

Love-bird started making nest.

Rainbow colors come in life,

Like  the hide and seek game,

The time-wheel moves intact,

Eternal white beam fades  them.

The Mirror

*******************


When we stand opposite to mirror,

And see our charming graph,

Can we judge the person inside,

At our own SELF, can we laugh?

*******************************







                                                                          





One day, a man sees him in the mirror,

His image reflects himself as a super hero,

But he loses his faith in his own arms,

Mirror slips, breaks,and hero becomes zero.

ANIMAL KINGDOM/ Reech -Garh



Animal Kingdom: :" Reech -Garh"

************************************

*




The last time, old bear looked back,

Below, from the peak of hill he gazed,

The new born city flooded  with light,

From long distance,whole area blazed.  


Blinking his eyes, he imagined a huge fireball,

Limitless,expanding,covering vast land of forest,

  Jungle of cement-concrete rising from crust of earth,

No traces of trees,no dens, empty nests.


He had seen  vanishing the existence of dense forest,  

Gradual,planned killing of  innocent wild animals,

Brutal murder of  those, who tried to run for life, 

For all creatures,just to rub off life and pulse.


Two of his infants were trapped and carried away,

  To be barred in the fence for site and see,

Rest were either killed,or they ran away for life,

This old bear bowed his head- "Come on,kill me'.


After long pause,he recovered from bullet shot in the leg, 

He looked down the hill-a desperate look,  

The gigantic city was expanding  to gradually crush the forest,  

Which , in future, would be in the memory, or in Jungle-book. 


Dragging his feet, old bear moved into deep darkness,

Cold breeze echoed a silent mournful sigh, 

An unknown, unwritten chapter was smoothly closed, 

Nature faces blows from man without any cry.  


Famous hill Reech-garh is now without "reech",

It is industrial complex -high chimneys,polluted air,

Animals are in photos, zoos,tales, and bars,     

Is there any need of Animal, when Man is there?

MEMORY

 


WORD STREAM : Memory
 *********************************

(memory is an everlasting treasure----) 
 














 

I was filled with excitement,
My heart was beating fast, 
Spending, span of fifty years abroad, 
I was reaching my village, at last.


I had past memories of the village,
When I was young boy of ten,
I still had a vision in my eyes,
Of that place, as it was then,


Narrow lanes, and thorny bushes,
Endless fields, fragrance of land,
Round shouldered huts, zigzag fence,
Neighboring river, and knocking sand.


Crop, as regiment, standing high,
Greenery laid on the bed of soil,
Tough farmers, with rigid figures,
Fighting their fate, in turmoil.

.
When I reached my native place,
I was shocked, with the series of reflex,
My vision,my village,my dreamland-
Had turned, into an industrial -complex.


My village did not exist, at all,
Dreamland was not there to define,
There was a sign- board flashing,
“National Highway Twenty- Nine.” 


No forest,no huts,no village,no fields,
All vanished.beneath the dense smoke,
Virgin river dipped into jungle of concrete, 
My vision? dreamland?--O,what a joke!
  

Life was running with high speed,
People, stick to pendulum, like the pets,
Village vanished beneath the chimneys,
Hooters and sirens guided the puppets.


Highway had joined two giant metros,
To bridge the new age, by presence,
Poor tiny river had died, beneath the bridge,
To become MEMORY; beyond existence.

The Nature

 The Nature

*************

*



Destiny throws me,

On the shore of calamity,

Every storm,tempest,turmoil hits me,

With all cruelty,

Nature is the destroyer,

But it cannot crush me.


I am in the lap of mother Nature,

She is also the Deity,

I am a sand particle,

In limitless ocean of eternity.

    ROADS

**************

*



All roads have two ends,

First,from where they start,

Then they go, to merge with other,

Covering a distance, long or short.


Some of the roads lead to a fixed target,

Go and reach the destination- no doubt,

Some trapped in jungle of cement-concrete,

Beneath sky-scrappers, they try to come out.


A road starts from an unknown dusty village,

And dissolves in the ocean of the giant city,

Either people diffuse their being, under vast sky,

Or come back home, with false proud, and pity.


An old banyan tree divides a road in two halves,

One zig-zag thorny passage reaches primitive home,

Other smooth road goes long, long,long, and breaks,

Dead stop at a point, glittering the polish of crome.  


Cunning and clever people make a shining road,

And most fantastic bridge connecting the ridge,

To give a final touch to this grand artistic work,

They divert a flowing river beneath the bridge. 


In metro cities, roads have well built foot -paths,

They give all purpose facility, except foot-walks,

 Slums, and all under sky, find a shelter here,

Lives pass on silently and smoothly on foot-paths.


Those who guide to walk on their path are great,

People follow their teachings, and try to learn,

And if something goes against their road- map,

There is an escape-road, in the form of U-turn.

NEW YEAR : HAPPINESS

 NEW YEAR: HAPPINESS

*****************************






  






 I am glad to attend New Year Party,
 It is in full swing, with merriment, 
  All are dancing and shouting,
Climax of hilarity is present.


People pretend to be happy,
The whole circle, as they seek,
They are happier in advance,
And become happiest, at the peak.


I feel, all this is a magic,
Which is live- show, to perform,
All are acting till drop-scene,
To exhibit, the maximum charm.


My' happiness' be the topmost,
If it lags; it is a curse,
This happiness is meaningless,
Unless, I compare it with others.


I pay for happiness, to buy the same,
Spending the money is no trouble,
If this happiness is a thousand deal,
The two 'thousands', may earn the double.


With the bundle of happiness, I come out,
It is raining, in the darkness of night,
A poor street-boy is dancing on the road,
Mud-clad, bare naked, shining bright,


His dance? no rhythm, no steps, no sense,
He is playing with an old rustic flute,
 My happiness is with respect to others,
But his innocent happiness is absolute.

I spread my arms to acquire happiness,
As if-it is any technique, any magic, any art,
I search happiness in club, pub, drug and dance-
But real happiness, lives in the core of heart.
