English poetry: Award Winning Collection



In depth

The deep blue waters
Attempt to touch horizon.
Rolling waves in your hairstyle
Form the spectacular beauty.

Raising up over and again
You are tireless and energetic,
Rejuvenated and self motivated
To kiss the sandy beach.

Daringly bold, rough and cold
To achieve something notable,
Betrayed the noted victims
Titanic, Julie, Andrea Doria.

On the bed of deepest lockers
Lying are wrecks and treasures
An achievement sans jubilation.

What else you have in store?
In depth I may read the mind,
If I were you.

Towards peace

Spoken aloud is concept of peace

By every nation shattered in distress
Terrorism, violence in their prism
Dispersed around in colours of red.

Essential ingredient is religion
Tinted with the milk of ignorance.
Blended with richness of faith
To blindly obey the supremo.

Those courageous illiterate patriots
Lay down their lives of  brightness
Their bravery and valor wasted
In the darkness of holy war.

They are arrows from wicked bow
Aimed by the traitors of peace
Oh, god! They know not what they do
Forgive their souls to rest in peace.

The Lost Glory
To Mother Nature that nurtures our lives

The life of serene nature lives
Through the years of beauty in wild;
Much fresh, young and colorful
As long as the humans are away.

By a chance of naughty sight
Gain access to woods of quietness;
Disturb the green valley of wonder
Leaving aside the footprints in thick.

With species of rare now bare
Vicious humans shower wickedness;
Mingled with a view of trade
Towards a march for anti-green.

Very soon, within a decade
Would appear a deserted stretch;
Once that was a carpet of nature
Recovers never again in future.


What is left to garland the land
Is only a glimpse of dry sand;
Much to hear from its tears
The reminiscence of lost glory.

Skylight
A scene through the roof hole

Cloudless sky spread over infinity
With medium reverberating in silence.

A display of varying dark spots
The choreograph of migrating birds,

Where do they come and go?

On a journey between the two
Destinations -birth and death;
Away from the human world
They fly high, relaxed and rejoiced

Their trajectory is peaceful
Enough to forget violence and terror;
The gentle strokes of flutter and softy,
Leave a stream of happy thoughts.

Without stress, burden and sorrow
the mind would rest in quietness,
if we were them.
Let our next birth take avian form.

The silent waters
I walked along the Cauvery
that waters dry and agri lands,
I see the soothing scenery
A view of golden sand,
At the middle of the river
Raising and touching the water.

Like a tiny patch of desert
And shine with broken shells,
It appeared as a resort
Inviting all the tired up bulls.

Ten heads I saw at once,
swimming across on a spree.
After a swim, roll and dance
They looked happy and carefree.

The silent waters know not
Who is bathing or carried across,
Shame and pride they have not
But run for a noble cause.

Here flows a selfless soul,
irrigating peace all the way.

For often I try to ink
In vacant or pensive mood,
What makes a human boast
he is rare, kind and good.

Down memory lane
The state of innocence in white
Is the bygone childhood era.
Lingering fresh in the mind
To soothe the ache of old age
In the evening years of life.

Even at the time of blindness
Reminiscence is a boon
Kindles the buds of Neuro- joy
To rejuvenate a vision of past.

Along the tracks of senescence
Old age home is the abode,
Where they recover after a skid
Caused by grownup kids.

Sympathy is therapy
Experience is wisdom
Patience is prayer.
They are withering roses
sans colour and fragrance.

Nostalgia speaks in silent words
To induce momentary pleasure
Much with strong will and power
To travel down memory lane.

How far?

Life along the path of dismay
Is sure a pain to the heart
An imbalance to bear the sorrow
Strikes the physique and psyche.

With all needed boons in hand
Unable to achieve the much needed,
Is what destiny is.

Even a layman lives in peace
With a feel of sufficient joy.
If so…
What am I in search of?
Unable to match the society of rich
I go into seclusion, pull into shell.
Contempt on myself.

Oh, friend!
Towards achieving the much needed
With patience, faith and attempts
I stand at the twilight of youth
With thoughts and action
Glowing still in my eyes.

The Athma

Where the life originates in the infinite space;
Where the mysteries are undefined by science;
Where a scene plays between time and space;
Where energies are packed by atoms of birth;

Where the mind is allowed to reason out
Where the link is between garbha and karma;
Where every cycle ends and begins a relay;
Where a cycle is complete or incomplete;

Into the endless world of my creator,
the athma goes and comes out fresh;
As newborn soul with centuries of experience
That had lived through poor and rich,
Until liberated to saturation.

The life or Jeevan exists all through
Only to unify with the supreme bliss and
Enjoy the oneness of paramathma.
