Bonds of the past

There is no earthly bond
Nor any spiritual known
But the waiting never ends
Yet you seem ever present
Throwing an anchor to me
An invisible path unto thee

Our lives written now in different tales
To be lived not in same time and space
Forming a bond of no known name
Answerable to no relation, no claim
All I possess, memories and feelings
They define me, part of my being

This bond I hold dear, my dear
It's mine, and only I can tear
With joy in a heart that aches
Knowing love is all it takes
To tempt life to live and believe
Writer blend our tales, next life anew.

Troublesome Queries

Mamma, why am I so small?
Comes a question tall

My little one now watching the world
Sensing differences, seeing all

You'll grow my darling, don't fret
In stature, gain wings in time, not yet

Dear sapling your roots held firm by earth
You'll reach up to see sky's mirth

Until such time baby please know
Hold on to innocence, do kindness show

Love in your veins, steel your form
Let loose your thoughts, invest your time

Gather knowledge and educate your need
Learn patience and know what is greed

From womb to your prime
Flows as nature intends

Grow your 'self' that which define
your make, a mould so unique

Never dread, follow your heart
I promise to always be a part

Of the symphony that you'll write
A melody of choices wrong and right

Promise me you will be true
To the nature I see in you

Don't worry my dearest, not at all
You'll grow tall in no time at all!

Radha

Immersed in your hue, dark and blue
The heart assimilates all that is true
Your love, affection, your compassion
Your kindness, forgiveness, passion
My need, my greed, my utter devotion
My want, my life and my submission
All for the consuming soul we share
I am, You are, the universe bare

Surrounded by music, senses ensnared
Cuddled, cajoled by heaven's glare
Am I the peace radiating from you?
Your are my strength, love our glue
What care have I for ignorant fingers
Pointed at us, no rebuke lingers
Beyond oblivion, I am by far
We dwell in the other, safe and pure

Beyond the realms of all unholy
Away from the reach of all ungodly
None senseless, jealous, none unworthy
No sight, no sound, nothing unhealthy
No laughter, tears, no bondage earthly
Duty doesn't count, rights don't matter
I wait for you, where ever meets ever
Last breath for you and in you forever

Let HIM be!

Hurricanes, floods, earth shattering quakes

Tsunamis, fires, tornadoes and plagues

Human race bears torture of these

God, help reprieve, help find peace

Lament men, enlist Prayers too

Oh, let HIM be! HE is human too

Terrorists, Politicians, Religious fanatics

Thieves, Murderers, Cons and Lunatics

Mankind is burdened by their fallacy

Almighty, cleanse, restore your supremacy

Plead people, help through and through

Oh, let HIM be! HE is human too

Mistrust, Callousness, Utter Dishonesty

Brutality, Arrogance, Apathetic, Immorality

Order of the day are they today

Lord, grant sanctuary every day

Cries humanity without a clue

Oh, let HIM be! HE is human too

What chaos must rule the heavens

Asks ambushing creators’ benevolence

Can HE brush aside unending questions

Does peace reign amidst the effervescence

Of unending conflicts, Isn’t HE imploring  too

Oh, let me be, I am human too!

Guru

One true soul amidst the crowd

Stands tall knowingly proud

With herculean passion and boundless energy

Striving to bring in a persistent synergy

Spanning warring boundaries, ages, thoughts, directions

Braving imperfections, oppositions, unrelenting factions

Unfazed he endures to build a culture

Of honesty, ideas, inclusivity of every member

A vision of growth, to scale great heights

Aided by his abilities mighty, clear sight

A leader unparalleled, a teacher at heart

Unwittingly many a destinies he charts

Molding gently, chiding sternly, nudging kindly

A beacon to follow, an ideal to cherish

An aura to assimilate, a zeal to emulate

The fire to an ember, an oasis to the parched

Not many of his mettle are made

Imbued lessons do not with time fade

As these sculpt, like does an architect

The paths of life, etched perfect

Meera

I wander seeking my truth

The one thread binding me to you

Transcendental mist engulfs my being

Unseen, unknown but felt deep within

Tearing the soul, making it whole

Pulling into an ethereal peaceful abyss

Encompassing my soul within yours

No beginning, no end to this what is ours

Like fragrance in flower, like affection of mother

It is fathomless love binding us together

I find you where I seek you not

I see you where my eyes are not

Your hand in my failures

Your tricks in my faults

Your warmth in my anger

Your attitude in my arrogance

Your childishness in my peace

Your pretense in my achievements

Holding me close, setting me free

Do I end in you, or do you live in me?

Broom ballad

Promises made at the election parade
The Hand that manoeuvered the charade
Witnessed its arrogance being swept away
By the Broom's authoritative sway
May finally rest in peace, the one at Rajghat
The Hand chose the name, not his thought
But the common man now choses to walk his path

The Lotus dazzles above the water surface
But nourished alas by mud and dirt
Withered offerings at the temple of democracy
Swept away by the Broom of devotion
To motherland, to service, to the common man
Yes, it's a victory to freedom, to live, to choose
In a democracy of intelligent, conscientious men

There is religion, technology, there's innovation
But now there is a new revolution
The moon, the mars and the countless stars
Bear witness to these winds of change
Not philosophers, not poets, not priests, not politicians
Just common men with brooms and fiery determination
That build character and clean the morals of a nation.
