Poems

Here lies a poet dead

Here lies a poet dead,
After going through deep melancholy of life
In the bed of death
Sorrow doesn’t engulf the poet any more,
And silence takes him in its core,
The poet does not cry now,
The world mourns to lose a shining star,
Which always shined in all dark……
Who will come again to love? The sad world ponders
But I must come in the other form again to love
And compose beautiful poems
For my beautiful world that has shed its tears in my memory…..
A man of thoughts,
No more poetry he pens down

But he sleeps peacefully
In his grave,
And the grass grows green, the dew fallen upon
What a beautiful morning
To a poet,
We wakes up with the Mother Nature
The sun shines bright upon that,
And the poet smiles to feel all this
Over his grave
The birds sing their song
In the early morning

And the poet rests at peace for long
The stars like the little drops of rain twinkle,
In the sky…..
With a poet they all mingle
And the night hugs him tight
In its sweet dreams…..
I miss all the creatures,
As they gather near my grave to make a prayer
Their crying makes me sad,
But I can’t touch them
As I know that my soul is touching them……

Alone

I sank deep in a conversation with you,
Discovered a soul that resonates with me
Here my voice notices another voice
That is quiet, solitary and wanders
In the realm of this noisy and shallow world
Where faces change in a moment
Because words are not so deep
Promises we don’t keep honestly
And morality dies in deeds

The world entirely fakes emotions
And truth hides in the bush
Only those who are true can see the truth
Where eternity speaks in its silent way
We can’t escape reality,
It is the essence of this life
Pain and pleasure drown
In the womb of unending time
I can witness what time is
Strom arrives and departs
But the ship is still hovering quiet

The barren land

Your glimpse deepens my feelings once again
The land which I travelled so far was barren,
But I feel that it grows harvest with you
It becomes green and wind sways to ripen it

Emptiness was overflowing, nobody cared it
But you filled it with your glorious glance
You have stepped your foot in my spirit
To give me what I needed most

My life is glowing again,
Sentiments leap from the heart
To make my life brighter and more cheerful
Every moment I spent in pain before you arrived

Stay a little longer in my dark life
To leave your footprints in my memories
Be my shadow every step I move
So that I won’t be isolated and emotionless.

My spirit wants to rejoin you

My spirit wants to rejoin you,
Will you allow me to merge with you?
My heart is at your feet
Can you accept me as I am?
Do I have to change myself to be like you?
I don't want to disfigure my soul
It should be only in original form
Because I have preserved my spirit
That speaks to me in an excellent way

My friend has gone

You are my friend I miss you
I am not your friend you forget me
How can I forget you?
When I have given you a place in my heart and mind,
A moment spent with you has become life
You have left a deep imprint in my life
It's very difficult to erase it
Again life caused me some great pain
Can time heal or not?
You are going too quietly
Moving my inner world very terribly
I will not stop you
You can go if you want
But if you say good bye before moving
That will warm my heart
And does not leave some emptiness in my heart
If you make a friendship with someone
Make it forever or don't make friends
But don't make it for few days
And leave a friend in pain
Friendship should last longer than life
Where eternity speaks in its voice

I wish my soul to mingle with your bright soul

I wish my soul to mingle with your bright soul
At this hour when nobody is around,
Feel that I am with you,
I give you my company and hug
Your deserve my love, dear
You are so innocent I have come to know
Your heart is so soft and tender
Your words are so beautiful and full of love
And your soul is so pure,

Don’t be upset, dear friend
Life is like a flash
I will help you to pass it quickly
I am there to take you beyond time
Where immortality awaits for us
So deep we plunge in divinity together
The pain will melt away
As a ray of hope I have just come into your life
To make you smile and laugh
And I can tease you a little bit
But I can’t hurt you without your consent
Don’t shed your tears
They are precious to me

I don’t want them to roll down your cheeks
You are born to smile not to cry
I don’t need light to walk
If you are walking alone in darkness
I just want to walk with you
My peace is not important but you
I also need you because you are diamond to me
That I want to preserve in my heart forever
So that nobody can steal you from my heart
I wish my soul to mingle with your bright one
And take me away from this clutter
Silence will be the best music to us
And depth must be its beautiful notes
Truth is like an instrument on which we play our songs
For eternity and liberty

A New Freedom

A new freedom
Everybody wants to fly as a bird,
Nobody wants to remain in chains,
Because everyone has a new freedom to live merrily,
But some cruel take our freedom away
And make us their slave.

Freedom is a god gifted gift
Which nobody can destroy from this earth.
Freedom is not made for rich
But for innocent poor dwelling in slums.
Freedom means peace and love
Not fear around us.

Freedom is what brings a nice smile
On everybody’s face.
Freedom knows no boundary
Of happiness and sprinkles its grace
On everyone wonderfully.

Freedom knocks at every door
And kisses everyone in the early morning
As a nightingale sings its lovely hymn for each person.
Freedom walks from door to door
To visit so that no one
Can be deprived of it.

Beauty

Something mesmerizes the universe
Wrapped in its silky bud
That steals the heart too
And strikes the mind tenderly
Makes an impact and echo
To captivate the music of beauty
Flows in all directions without barrier
It resonates in someone's life
Time eternal bell rings twice
That knocks the door of mystery
Why so elegance and modesty,
It tells beauty is not in appearance
But in attitude and gesture.

Words patter
Moon glistens
Stars twinkle
Wind blows
And light flashes
Wings flutter
The sky thunders
And horses hooves clutter
Wagon is ready that takes
And shakes
“Beauty with compassion
Shakes
Heart that is big, creates
Beauty that is real does not fabricate”

Leaves start rustling
Water is still lapping
Flowers become sweet-scented and bright
And air fills the environment with fragrance,
May the grace be bestowed upon you!
And blessings touch your heart
Is there anything that fades?
Beauty does not kill,
It enhances the quality,
And enriches genuineness
Removes clutter from the mind
Makes it peaceful and balanced
Time skids but beauty never splits
What you are today,
Will be the same tomorrow
Does beauty die?
Yes, but not real
It is evergreen
That becomes everlasting too

Bury me in a land

Bury me in a land
That is not mind and yours,
But in a soft corner of nature
Where tranquility comforts me at every dawn
And slumber at every dusk

Where my mind is at peace
And heart at rest
Where the spring makes me playful
And the winter warms my feelings with snow
Where the summer shelters me in its shade
And the autumn offers its hand to new things

Where my feelings are warm not cold
Where I could not indulge in the chatter of the world
And confusion does not drown me in its clutch
Where the sun brightens me up every morning
And keeps my spirit high
And the moon gives me its coolness every night
Where no shadow of dirt follows
And the light guides me for eternity

Where shallowness does not exist
And depth lasts for long
Where I could meet the masters not the fools
And where I would put my head not down with guilt and shame
Where everything is balanced
And the odour of partiality does not remain
Where I live in joy not in pain.

She is there with you

How sorrowful it is for you
To go ahead without your partner
Life seems to be nothing
Success is useless
When our beloved one is not there
Tears visit us
Feelings go cold
Silence wraps us
And loneliness slowly creeps in
To take us to a sad & serious world

I know you can’t have her again
But all you can have her beautiful moments
That will make your life happy
Treasure it
Feel it
And don’t look back
She is waiting for you
When you leave the world
You find her at the gate of eternity
You did not lose your wife but a friend
She supported you through thick and thin

She is your soul
She is your heart
She is sleeping peacefully
She will wake up soon
To walk with you in heaven

Life is such a dream
You don’t know when it is over
It’s just like a bubble
It will burst when you don’t know
