Haiku Poems

 Stretched my arms long

And I found no one around.....

folded and hugged me.


A frosty morning-

through vapours of black tea

a spider spinning


Evening walks

an autumn leaf fell

touched my feet


fear of loneliness

now I feel alone

...found me


Puffins at shore

chorus chirping

fly away


Rainbows are good

one in the sky and

one in my plate


salt and pepper

on fruit salad

.....is life

For Loved like Hell to feel the heaven

 She nagged, she yelled

She threw some conchs

and some sea shells

From the trips we made 

when we floated in the water

of arms, legs, and bodies made the love hotter.

For we loved like hell to feel the heaven.


Her screams, my rage

passing every day 

 on each other, we ravened, our bodies ablaze.

First body and the mind

then the soul scoured to find

 an escape, a haven.

For we loved like hell to feel the heaven.

Those days

 Some days are special. 

When Nothing I want to do.

Nothing can be done.

And Nothing would do.

I just brew my coffee

and sit in the corner.

Like a folded chair

looking in despair.

No one should see me.

Please don't come so close.

For not sure if I exist.

But if I, I'm a prose.

Anniversary Poem for Mohit/Joe

RANDOM RENDEVOUZ 


चार दोस्त चार छलकते पैमाने -2 

कहीं नज़र ना लगे हमको, ना गुजरे ये ज़माने 


पूछते नहीं बिलकुल ,बस हक़ जताते है मेरे दोस्त 

बस चले इनका, तो weekend बनाये ये हर रोज़ 


क्या कर रहे हो मालिक, आज Friday night है 

Wait करती तुम्हारी scotch , whiskey, coors lite है 


आग the fire बाहर लगाते है 

आ जाओ Sharad babu , badshah तुम्हें सुनाते हैं 

Madam के साथ तुम अपने दिल की कहना, Jyotsana जी से आज रेशमी chicken kebab  बनवाते हैं 


Give up मारना मेरे दोस्तों को आता नहीं 

Friday को उनसे bottle खोले बिना ज़िया जाता नहीं 


अच्छा तुम नहीं आ पाओगे,  मजबूरियों की बड़ी line hai 

कोई नहीं ठहरो, हम on the way है, खोलो vodka या जो भी रखी wine है 


मेरे दोस्तों को परवाह नहीं, दोस्त के मिज़ाज की- 2 

Laughing stock बना वो इस group में जिसने दोस्ती में लिहाज़ की 


मैंने पूछा hello Madame, बोलो आज आप क्या पियोगे 

हंसी वो और बोली, रहने दे darling, तुम light beer वाले कब जियोगे


अब Level बढ़ा , मेरी माँ अब तो बड़ी हो जा 

गरीब सी मेरी दोस्त , तू beer veer छोड़ 

मेरी homemade pan- vodka चढ़ा


दोस्ती का flavour , दुनिया के सब flavors में the best है 

दोस्ती का comfort, देता tempur-pedic का rest है 

हो जब भी Friday शाम, हम 4  दोस्त और हाथों में जाम 

दोस्ती time waste नहीं होती दोस्तों , बल्कि यही right stock to invest है

Silence

 When roads are running

but my legs have stopped.


When concrete stands tall

but my torso is to fall,


When the birds are flying

but my eyes are closed.


When the wind is whispering.

but my mouth has shut.


When the trees are bellowing 

but my mind has been silenced.


I am the silent water deep in ocean, 

confused by whacky waves on the top.




Forgive but don't forget

 I Forgive Myself

for not being brave


 I Forgive Myself

for not talking straight


 I Forgive Myself

for not letting you know


 I Forgive Myself

the pain I was going through


 I Forgive Myself

for being overly possessive of you


 I Forgive Myself

for not letting you go


 I Forgive Myself

for the fear of losing you


 I Forgive Myself

for you being my emotional choose.


 I Forgive Myself

for looking at you in my need.


 I Forgive Myself

for planting in you seductive seed.


But I can never forget the time we spent and the moments we created on this life journey called marriage.

COVID times

 Hiding in my house.

Growing like a weed.

Like an alien plant from some planet

which grew without a seed.


Deserted all the streets.

Vacuumed our masterminds.

The invisible alien hiding

no torch no light can find.


Locked in my room

I miss my human talks. 

This state of quarantine

has taken away my leisure walks.


Looking at the ceiling

House arrest has made me think.

This world needs a reset button

or the end is at its brink,


Listening to my heartbeats

Is the cosmos connecting us all?

Ego, pride, nationality

rotten links get to fall.


The time to think deeper.

The time to ponder the past.

Series of mistakes, unfulfilled commitments.

Nothing ever lasts.


Looking through the open windows

Winds whispered in my ears.

Believe in the power

Someone wants you to overcome your fears.


I opened the door and took off my mask.

devoured the wind like hungry for ages

Felt freedom of 100 birds

The contentment of scrupulous sages.
