Rain of destruction
Rain of unending cries and pain
Rain of flesh and blood
Radio active clouds demonstrating explosive
power of race

Destructive missiles
gave cruel burns
Never cured

Every body cried for
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
atomic chain reactions
for pools of corpses made

Nihon Hidonkyo
Japanese Organization
Chaired by
Tomoyuki Mimaki
Initiated grass root movement for survivors

Cheered and cried
On receiving
Nobel Peace Prize
"Is it really true"
"Unbelievable"

Hibakusha are
Many survivors of nuclear bomb
Dedicated their lives to
aware the world for the nuclear free world

It will force the world
Not to use
Nuclear weapons

Was bitten by a *****

who in curosity went near her when she was feeding her pups

It was screaming loudly
It was bleeding profusely

In pain and fear
It hid itself in drain
Iron grill was removed to take it out

I and my friend
rushed to veterinary hospital which was eight km away

In car his painful whining
disturbing my mind
Blood was dripping on the floor of car
Mat was full of blood
Filled the car with coppery smell

His screams were making me sad
On the way we stuck in zam
It seems me as if roads were stretched

Somehow we reached the hospital
Timings on board
9.00 am to 3 pm
Still 20 min. were left
No emergency for animals
As if they don't get hurt and pain

I noticed
A house of resident vet. doctor
But it was locked
Suddenly a car zoomed in front of  house
I sensed it might be vet. doc.

I approached him to start treatment

He said in hurriedly
"Sorry mam
I am on leave today
I drove so fast to reach from
Himachal Pradesh
My children are getting late
for school"

He left the place
with the pup
which was bleeding
and getting unconscious
in our hands

World seems still to me
No leaf movement
No wind is blowing
Silence is broken by the call of a watchman
             "   Jagte Raho"

Told me
"These days I don't get
Love and likes"
I asked
"Do you send love and likes?

You will get if you will click
on love and likes for them"

A unicorn of mind
Never get satisfied

Like beast in mystic stories
Trying to find a ******
who is waiting for her incarnation

Creates a fantastic imagery
of power and wealth
Is not as fantastic as sounds

Is not revered by Budha
an ancient Indian symbol
of monasticism

Controlled it when sprouting out of Bodhi tree

Which was not a natural beast
It was just  arduous earthly
desire

Pale colour
Agony and anguish
Reacting and rebelling
Earthing cries
Vaporising tears in sky
To find a place to sigh
for sleepless nights
For dark circles drawn under eyes
For all rumours around
For what had lost
telling stories
Cool air above and air bubbles
Turns the salty vapours into
soft ice flakes
to come down to spread white sheet on the land of heart
Slows down all emotions and normalise the blue sky

The leafless tree
"Dying tree"
Depicting drought

A new emoji will soon
Seen in your box
To create awareness
For climate change

People from the chair
Of emoji
The Unicode Consortium
must have thought

Needs a new trending way
to change the impact of
climate change

Will it change?
Time will tell
Needs to work more on land
Less on phone

Don't forget to send
Green tree emoji
The solution of
New leafless tree emoji

Get tired at work place
Take dinner
And go for sound sleep
to slip into your dream land
weave the carpet to fly
and enter into dreams of your love

Play hide and seek
Take a ride in cradle of crescent moon
Walk on the land of Mars
Bring precious moments of your memories as they happened in real
When sun comes to wake you up
Say
Just few more minutes let me stay in these beautiful scenes

Yes I remembered
I entered in the cocoon of that dark hollowness

To runaway from the noises
Inside and outside

All was what
Like mind arrest

Nothing was visible
Nothing was feasible

Only a vaccum
Neither could I hear
Nor could I speak

An unending weeping
Which made me creeping

I saw you tapping
I saw your lip sync
I saw your signs of calling

You kept on waiting
Till I started responding

My cocoon was not broken forcefully
You allowed me to come out peacefully

See dear
Now I am not crawling like pupa
I am ready to take out nectar
I am converted into a butterfly of nature

Saw her name on screen
Thought what to do?
Again same question
"What should I Do? "
Which I cannot solve?
She fell in one sided love
Her cries made me feel bad
Urge me to do something
How can I make him to feel love for her?
It's not a material
Which I could get for her
She cries in front of me
All the times lost in her imagination
Wants him to talk with her
Wants him to give her a look
Wants him to listen her
Searching  a person
Who can get his love for her
But how?
No one can bring feelings of love from him to her
She complains
He didn't reply to her morning wish
Didn't answer to his missed calls
Didn't reply her msgs
She kept on telling

Suddenly door bell rings
I told her" Oh! My tution kids are here"

She ended her call with no solution from my side
which can satisfy her

Astronauts
Butch Wilmore and Sunita williams
On mission for eight days
Destined for
Two are marooned for eight
months

You are very polite
As light as feathers

You have ability to bear
As deep as maire

You hold happiness and sorrow with same reaction

Keep on working with same passion

You believe in spirituality
This shows your modality

Again today I got a msg
Two times in last few days
I get afraid to see red dot
on the inbox of HP

First time I opened
As it asked a question
As I clicked
It displayed a pornographic
content
Which I immediately closed
and blocked it as I thought
But again the box is red
I get an alarm
Might be the same with
Sgg name
It really surprised me
It filled me with anguish and disheartened

We all are here
Well educated
Try to present our emotions in nice way
Many questions araised in mind

Is it a member of HP?

Is it an outsider in disguise of member?

Is it a virus in phone?

Whatever is the reason
Try to sought out the problem

Still the msg from Sgg
Is hanging on the box.

At your work place
At your home
Keep yourself ready
For relay race

Baton is given
Start your mission

Not to bother
Previous is slower

Not to worry
Who will be winner
Become a flight responder

Life is a relay race
Put all your efforts
At your best pace

Many races of life have been won
Many races of life have been lost
By the quality of baton to  post

"A  beautiful place to get lost"
Heard these lines
Pulled a row of happenings around me
A target to get something beautiful
Reached through tough journey
Enjoyed for few days
It became the same as previous one
Set another higher goal
Worked hard to get that
Enjoyed it for some time
It felt same as old one
Now set a goal to get more
A beautiful place to get lost for ever
To become zero
Will play with it
To become infinity.

All your pains
Melt and flow out
From your heart and mind
In these disappearing moments of
Year 2024

Let new aspirations
Flow inside your heart and mind
Grow seeds of calmness and patience in your soul
To get fruits of happiness in coming new year
Happy New Year 2025

Beauty of Mirror
Reflects the beauty
Of yours

Neither a bit less
Nore a bit more

Softly touched
Your trunk
You whispered to sit with me
To pour his energy
To melt away all my worries

Good morning sir
Thank you for morning flowers every day

Without forgetting a single day

What it might be
Happiness or sadness
Good day Or bad day
Meeting or parting

Send your wishes gladly
This is your own way

To keep everyone standing
And make everyone smiling

I found ash
To rub on my skin
To hide all my beauty skills
No other mask needed
to safe myself
No tension of world's speculations
Long dead locks touching
earth
To make these a blanket to
sleep or make a head lock

Reached on a tough rock high mountain with all my efforts
Alone and alone only my own

Live in a small mouthed cave
To find my share of piece of peace
Dead ash is rubbed on future ash
No matter looked ugly or bad

A beautiful book mark
Between the pages of book
of my life

Pull in all your senses
Under the cover of silence
To give rest to your
Body, mind and soul

Every appreciation
Fell on desert heart land
No sensation
No spark
Feels like a hook to hang

The chirping of birds
Feelings of life's dream
Beginning of beautiful evening
The murmur of a new morning

Feels
Hands are tied
Mind is blocked
Heart is freezed
Soul is caged
Looks silently blankly getting drowning in the flow of time
To meet somewhere to someone to free the caged soul

अनमना सा मन
उनींदी सी महक
समय की तारों पर
गीत गुनगुनाता हुआ
कुछ मुसकराता सा

रात के चादं से चुरा
चांदनी की तारों से
सतरंगी सपनों की
चादर ओढ़ सिमट रहा है।

Today suddenly
I realized I am in category of an adult person
When someone had discussion
About my job
After I finish my B. Ed
Other came had discussed about my marriage
My mother is in other plateform
Collecting jewellery for my marriage
My grand mother
After looking me dressed nicely for a marriage party
O! Girl is now fully grown up
Start looking for a suitable guy
My eyes filled with tears
Every one wants to worry for my future
Job, marriage then keep on running
Then for a baby
But just few years back I was in my nineteen
Where those years disappeared
I couldn't see and enjoy those moments
No one wants to see and ask
What is going inside me?
I feel helpless
Sometimes feel suffocating
To run away from all these forced responsibilities
Am I wrong?
Or people around me in hurry to fix me at their desired place
I realized today
Every one around me
Trying to make me realize
Ready to take responsibilities of this society
Immaterial whether I like or not
I enjoy or not
Am now I an adult!

A silent music in the silence of students
Their heart rhythm more than normal
It feels as if they are in deep meditation
Their pens are dancing with the warmth of breathing
Some pens are doodling on the corner of question papers

Light direction create the double shadows on the wall of examination hall make a unique piece of art

Tick tick sounds of clock seems very fast to them

Good morning everyone
Is every thing going well?
Care for you
Every thing will be alright
as a boon
All  His blessings reaching soon

Literate and illiterate both
can have wisdom equally
to change the world

Only a sincere wish is required to break the ceiling

She met me in the market
Very busy hot spot

I approached her in a good note
She gave me a faint smile

I asked her
"What is Gopal doing? "
My old student

He met with road accident
Two years back

His spine got injured
He was on bed

She left no stone unturned
She ran for many hospitals

She offered many prayers
She asked for blessings

Only recognised me
Seldom opened eyes to me

He screamed and showed
Signs of pain

One day
Lying beside him
Gave him hug and called
By his love names

I was in the state of
Hypnagogia
Neither slept nor fully awake

I felt he was standing
in front of me
With white bright aura

He told me
"Mummy let me go
I am in too much pain
You are passing through
unending strain

Let me go
Free me from your strong bonds
This body cannot hold
energy of my soul"

He was not responding my calls
He was not responding to
medicines

That day
Before l left hospital room

I whispered in his ear
"I will fulfill your last wish

You are free from my bonds
You are free from my calls

I am ready to free you from all my bonds"

Next morning
He left for his abode

To see
A South Korean eighty years
Model Choi Soon Hwa
In Miss Universe Korea
An oldest contestant

I sent message to
My sweet and cute friend

What are your plans?
You are much younger
And brainy

You have sparkles
To be a model

Get ready and
Take clippings
In decent poses
Send to your dear ones
Make them smiling

She sent me
A laughing emoji

Two days were left
For my marriage
Every one was busy

Relatives were talking
They were joking

Some were cooking
Ready for feeding

Dustbin was full
I took the bin
Went to clear the tin

Suddenly I stopped
One life was breathing
On the heap of dumping

Too weak to walk
In state of gasping

I went back running
Brought a basket of canning
With a cotton clothing

To give cushion
To a young puppy

My relatives disagreed  for keeping
If it died
It might bring misfortune
"Throw it out
From where you brought"

My mother said nothing
I fed the life drop by drop
With a dropper

Till evening to our surprise
It came out from basket
It was moving

At night
It went to its bamboo house
We covered it with soft piece of cotton dhoti
To keep it warm
In that winter night

I checked twice
During that night
It was sleeping right

At early morning
I tried to take it out
But it was motion less
And breathing less

Every one told
To dump the body in dumping place

But how could I?
I was mother for one day

We buried not in hurried
In the soil
With few prayers
To make soul free
To rest in peace

Sitting under a Jamun tree
Having a bundle of paper
To check and recheck

Birds sound melodious
Fresh cool air was comfortable

I was distracted by
A squirrel and a bird
Playing together

Squirrel climbed up the tree
She brought few grains free
Put on a green platter

Bird came flattering
to eat   grains eagerly
both were playing leisurely

Left me thinking
Do they welcome as
we do with our family and friends

From my one wish
Mesmerized me
Each curve is exactly same

Two lines
One you, one me
Go parallel
To reach safe in destination of life

Each sip of
hot tea/coffee
Vaporises your emotions
With its steaming fumes
Lifts cooler air in mind

When I arrived at home
from my work place
My hubby was sad
"What had happened? "

I lost my spectacles since morning
Neither I could read newspaper nor I could write poetry

"Don't worry I will find"
tried to console
I checked all pockets of his shirt and pant

I looked in almirah
I looked in fridge
I searched in washroom
I checked in kitchen

All in vain
I gave a pause

"If I find your specs
You will make a cup of tea for me  which he never"

Again I searched
under bed
on bed
I unfolded  the blanket
Which he used at night
It dropped from there

He picked up and smiled at me
                   AND
       I WON A CUP OF TEA

A small neem plant was grown
by an old man in his late eighties
Outside the boundry wall of his house

He looked after  it everyday
He grew some cactus for its safety

Neem plant was growing into a tree
Old man was becoming more elderly

Old man took few leaves every day
To keep himself fit

After few more years
Old man was unable to come down
From first floor to ground floor

One day I saw old man was talking to tree
"Now you are too strong
But I am too weak to walk"

I saw neem tree grew in more height
It increased its branches to reach the railing of old man's house

To my surprise one day
Old man was plucking the leaves
From first floor of his house

Neem tree was showing its gratitude
By offering its leaves to its saviour.

Not find compatibility
Find complement of
Your love angle
To become complementry angles

तुम प्रसन्न रहो
यही कामना है
निरन्तर आगे बढ़ो
मुठ्ठियों में अपनी खुशियाँ समेटते रहो
ना जाने जीवन के किस मोड़ पर
वो खड़ी मिले
जो तुम्हारे सतरगीं सपनों सगं अपने सपनों की चादर बुनें
जिसे ओढ़ सो जाना
ईश्वर की नई कृतियां रचने
अपने हर दर्द को उन पर वार  भस्म कर देना
उस भस्म से श्रृंगार करना शिव का
तुम गण हो शिव के
जो हर भभूति कष्टों की गले लगाए बैठे रहते हैं

Time is passing steadily
From all odds and even

It flows effortlessly
Through our noises

It never cries with us
It never reflects pain in it

It never stops to make merry
It never forgets to move ahead

It flows like air through stomata

A bond which grew its root
Very deep in my heart
It developed its roots in my mind
It's reflection in my heart
Circle of time
Shows me waves of your love
I want to touch and caress
But cannot as they are reflections
In the lake of past
Your vibration of feelings
I receive when I see your name
On the pages of my diary of life
Always stop for some time
Appreciate, feel your love
Get my eyes filled with tear
Draw few more lines in myself
To hold you for some more time
For those moments which I spent with you

I am enjoying
the single parenting of
a 91 years old father
to his 58 years old son

Which I missed for my children.

Talking to weeping willow
Through her poems at night
Enjoyed and appreciated

Smiling willow was sleeping
Made moon her pillow
Covered herself with star
Studded night blanket

Spreading pure and innocent sparkles

I was sitting beside and
enjoying her beauty
In my dream land
On same plateform

Kids came back from school
I was late in cooking food

Swiftly
I washed grapes
Served to my children sitting on bed

I switched on TV
As they enjoy Tom and Jerry

Sharing grapes and making fun

Soon my son realised
Someone strange sitting next to them

Sharing grapes and watching TV

Both became statue
Fear and tear in eyes

On the verge to cry
Could not understood what to try

I whispered
Leave room slowly
Leave room quietly

Both were holding me tightly

I took a sigh of relief
To see my children safe

It was huge male monkey
An uninvited guest!

We destroyed their jungle
Which made their life mingle

It made their life miserable
Can't we make it reversible?

Creates gentle music in the leaves
When particles of air rhythm
and dance with the green energy
Poetry of atoms in the strings of air
laugh and giggles
Poetic rhythm in the breath
dances in the form of blissful state
When the poetry of life
breaks the rhythm
Life sleeps in the universe
till the poetry rebirth in it

खिलखिलाते बच्चों की खुशबु ने
थके से चेहरों पर मुस्कान बिखेर दी
ज़िंदादिली की लकीरें खींच दी
