Lost In Her Eyes

Image
Lost In Her Eyes Her deep eyes made me giddy , Lewd thoughts went away, Needlessly I tried to go away, But she showed no pity. Ditched me with a mere glance, I was lost in a trance, With silence I missed the only chance, A rendezvous ended without any romance.

Loneliness

Image
Loneliness When nobody care, you remain there in your embrace I get rid of despair. you explain me complexities of life, you are a true partner, my right pair when world restricts me to patiently thrive, you pacify me, to confront you they never dare. you never judge me, never grudge on me, In good or bad , you always adhere, When everybody leaves me alone, O! Loneliness you owns me and take care. When nobody care, you remain there in your embrace I get rid of despair. This poem is linked to Poetry Jam ( Loneliness) 

Journey To Someone's Heart

Image
Journey To Someone's Heart Neither airplane nor any train, Even if it's far you can't use a car, for journey to someone's heart. The path is shaky & turbulent,  If commitment is not 100 percent,  in journey to someone's heart. The heart which is very fragile, Love things otherwise futile, May disown luxury & wealth pile, and accept just a true smile,  To walk miles and mile, in journey of life. You just need an honest start, a truthful loving heart for journey to someone's heart.    This poem is linked to Poetry Jam ( Journey ). 

Quiet Always

Image
Quiet Always photo by Elene Usdin Drunk he came daily, hardly caring for family, I remained quiet , in hope he will come to light, that was extent of my trust. Lethargic in his duties, blunt in capabilities, I remained quiet , in hope he will never fight, that was extent of my love. A quarrel became violent, with my death it came to end, with open eyes, I remained quiet , in hope to see you again in my sight that was the extent of my wait.

Yaar Julahe (Dear Weaver)

Image
यार जुलाहे ! ( Dear Weaver - Gulzar )  I am inspired by Gulzar's 'Dear Weaver ' poem to write for this week's Poetry Jam (How to)  prompt and tried to write 'How to weave a relationship'. How to weave a relationship learn from a weaver a technique so clever  to keep knots and breaks invisible, by an effort and love invincible, If he ignored the knots and move forward, lumps increased and became stalwart  care and time makes a relationship  Original Gulzar's poem is below in Hindi and also a translated version by me in English, मुझको भी तरकीब सीखा कोई यार जुलाहे, अकसर तुझको देखा है कि ताना बुनते जब कोइ तागा टुट गया या खत्म हुआ फिर से बांध के और सिरा कोई जोड़ के उसमे आगे बुनने लगते हो तेरे इस ताने में लेकिन इक भी गांठ गिराह बुन्तर की देख नहीं सकता कोई, मैनें तो ईक बार बुना था एक ही रिश्ता लेकिन उसकी सारी गिराहे साफ नजर आती हैं मेरे यार जुलाहे ! Mujhko bhi tarkeeb sikha koi yaar julahe,...

Identity What to seek next? When my identity is you. Life starts with  your name  and will end in you.  People wanders in sacred places, But in love, I found you .  This post is linked  to Poetry Jam (Identity).

Let Them Be Children

Image
Let Them Be Children  14th November is celebrated as Children's Day in India, it is the birthday of India's first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru  who was very fond of children. Children are free spirited and we must let them as they are and dream for themselves, Happy Children's Day Don't stop , don't interrupt  let their dreams fly, let them touch the sky, let them have fun,let them learn let them be children. Don't pressurize, don't criticize  let them choose their way, bookish knowledge do stay, but there are books beyond books, which change how we looks  and how things we churn, let them be children. Don't judge,don't grudge let their innocence prevail, let them come out of shell, let aim them high,let dream them high, because dreams make future turn  let them be children.

Pebbles

Pebbles  Be like a pebble on the shore, Smooth,shiny and firm. Better with each difficulty, Standing and facing reality, Calming waves with agility, Self carving own destiny. Be like a pebble on the shore, Smooth,shiny and firm. This poem is linked to Poetry Jam ( pebbles ).

Woolen Socks

Image
Woolen Socks Broken vase greeted mom when she returned home, She yelled," who did this? " She said, " I did this mom " She kissed and hugged her, felt proud that she told the reality, Reared her as single mother,delighted for her truth speaking ability. Not like her mother who scolded her every time, As if by breaking something she committed a crime, She remembered how her mother beaten her in childhood, For her lost woolen socks while playing by the woods, She never spoke truth to her mother after that, Distanced herself from her like a rat from a cat, Hid everything, the broken trust,the broken heart, The dance reject,the booze effect and the guy smart, She determined to be like a friend with her daughter, And not to create between them any such border, her daughter never hides , never makes excuses, A lifetime lesson learnt for getting woolen socks bruises  This poem is linked to Poetry Jam ( Broken ) and The Mag 243 (picture pro...

Magic

Image
Magic Since Gandhi Jayanti , Dussehra and Eid -ul- Adha are here. I have shared the magic associated with them. Not a single bullet fired in retaliation, Enemy's blood not shed in revolution, Still rulers of world faced humiliation, This is the magic of truth & non-violence's agitation, This is the magic of Mahatma, father of the nation. Blessed with the power and immortality , Ravana, the ruler of city of gold, having knowledge of best quality, Unconquerable even by the force of god's equality, Defeated by a young prince living in forest's difficulty, This is the magic of Rama, the magic of righteousness and divinity. Son and father both unquestioning his command, Not even once succumbing to the Satan's demand, Prepared for the sacrifice so grand, Son exchanged with a lamb as Abraham extend his hand, This is the magic of belief & mercy, the magic of Allah's wand.

Beyond Clouds

Image
Beyond Clouds Is there a world beyond the clouds ? Beautiful,serene,with nature's grace,happy,satisfied,without hunger's trace or terrorized,violent, in fuss, poor,discontented,hungry like us. Fighting with each other on petty reason, surrounded by clouds of worry every season. Clouds of greed over our eyes is the root cause of our race's demise. Let's make a world on which each one of us can proud and not try to search another world beyond the cloud . Linking to Five Sentence Fiction ( Confusion)   and Poetry Jam (clouds)

See The Sea

Image
See The Sea Just turn towards the sea,feel the cold breeze, you will remember me and your thoughts will seize, Our walk along the beach, the love you used to teach, Foot marks on the sand, which fade before we bend, Like moths around a light bulb, pain have surrounded you in bulk, For love with death they strife, for love I wish you new life, Smile when you see the sea, your tears are not dear to me, Forgive the tides which took me away, and come out from sorrows and dismay. So contented my soul will feel if from the sky I see you happy forgetting me as you see the sea. This post is linked to Poetry Jam ( The Sea) and Magpie Tales (moth picture)

Like A Pair of Jeans

Image
Like A Pair of Jeans Your love made me rough, like a pair of jeans. Torn my heart apart, when you depart, leaving me in a corner like a pair of jeans. Everywhere I aided, my emotions you raided, now I am faded, like a pair of jeans. Rainbow colors sparked  as your smile embarked, now left with black and blue, like a pair of jeans. Changed my destiny such were your tyranny, having so many like me, like a pair of jeans. Collected my self, cleared all shelves, now trying many more, like a pair of jeans. Your love made me rough, like a pair of jeans. Linking this poem to Poetry Jam
