her lovely eyes speak
with every flutter of lash
his heart soars with her eyes
just as a drunk bee
who has been drinking nectar
from the sweet flower of Neem

only God in heaven
The melodious strain emitting
from the hearts of human beings
in the form of carol, azan or hymns
flow like rivers of love
demolishing each and every barrier
to reach the deep, tranquil ocean
called by millions of names
some are God, Allah or Khuda.
Let every festival make our souls
reach out for that deep ocean
splashing in our very souls
embrace it with love and gratitude
for blessing us with so many colours
so many ways of remembering, loving
the only one God above in heaven.

questions to a blackheart
Why did our paths crossed?
Yours and mine?
I must have done something
Really, really vile
In some long-gone birth
If I believe in Hindu saying.
For I have not done anything
In this birth of mine.
to meet some one like you,
holding so much bitterness
so much anger and rage
against a stranger like me.
A woman masquerading as a man
keeping another entrapped
using pretty pictures of another
using brother and father to help.
Does your heart ever curses you
For the cruel games
That you played with me
heaven only knows with how many more.
for years you kept playing same game
never even bothering about Karma
guess devil’s adversaries think
devil too saves his disciples.
devil never saves his slaves
he lavishly rewards them
as long as they can work for him
then he just dumps them for another.

This poem is based on a real life story. Two engineering students used to trap boys and girls on internet, pretending to be of their opposite gender and flirt with them remorselessly.
Do they ever feel bad for the things they do?

Some other mate
She is not the one in your fate
You should look for some other mate
She won’t let you treat
Her like your doormat.
She won’t let you mock and taunt
She will just simply walk away.
She knows she is not a doormat
She is a lady, and knows her worth.
I know, I know you are handsome
Your pocket is full of money
But that may not mean
All the world to everyone honey
You should look for that someone
One that will die for your looks, money
One that will let you treat her like dirt
One that will let you walk all over her

Ready to fly
my tiny fledgling
is slowly spreading her wings
her tiny wings are ready to fly
to search the blue sky.
The blue sky beckons her
The cage is choking her
She wants to run wild now
To taste the sweet freedom now.
Her hours of freedom
Are counting more and more
Seldom is the scene
When she crosses cage’s door.
Soon she will fly away
Build her nest in wild
Leave the empty cage
Silent, bleak, missing her.

full moon shines in the sky
witness of those moments
when your immortal love
blossomed in embraces
in soft, gentle kisses
in amorous sighs
when you were still alive
your bodies were still breathing.
full moon shines in the sky
witnesses these moments
when an emperor full of love
comes down from heaven
to meet his gorgeous empress
in the home he made for her
foreseeing this moment
when their bodies are sleeping.
they walk together hand in hand
like their bodies did in past
he shows her each and every room
of this beautiful palace
the palace he built
for their immortal love and souls
which were bound to return
looking for each other.
they exchange those loving glances
under the full moon’s light
for centuries the beautiful witness
of a love that never died
they walk in the garden
enveloped in each other’s arm
the whole world sleeps
the silver moon smiles.
never call it a tomb
or a lifeless structure
this is the earthly abode
of two heavenly creatures
if you don’t believe
come here on some moonlit night
may be you will catch a glimpse
of Shahjahan and empress Mumtaj.

souls embracing
sun pours down its golden rays
flowers bloom every where
the moment your hands hold
the hand that also cares.
light illuminates your heart
fragrance envelopes your soul
love spreads all around you
wrapping you in its splendid stole.
door of heaven opens wide
you can hear angel’s choir
you can see them sweetly smiling
in your lover’s loving face.
earth wraps a celestial robe
heaven descends on earth below
queen of love rules your soul
showering love on earth below.
every thing becomes candescent
flowers bloom all around you
spreading their heavenly scent
adding in your life their colour.

guitar player
his fingers softly strum
silver strings of the guitar
bringing metal wire
to melodious life.
his hazel eyes are lost
in some other world
unruly hair cascade
like a black waterfall
his eyes return to earth
when he sees her move
gracefully through the crowd
like a swan in pond
his eyes starts to burn
the fire touches her eyes
music reaches crescendo
to be muted by wild applaud.

Veil
Dancing like a fairy
You reach out for me
In my dreams
Your veil is studded
With diamonds and pearls
It covers your face
I am mystified
Trying to see through
Those jewels block my eyes.
Your wealth dazzles me
I fail to see your eyes
They are the things that are
Precious than diamond, pearls
Yet you keep them hidden
Behind your diamonds and pearls
Throw away your veil
Show your true self.

Love
love knows no ownership
still its empire is endless
its invisible embrace
its silent worship
is mightier than chains
powerful than monarchy
stronger than anarchy.
it simply conquers
consumes the very existence
nothing works against it
logic, argument, wisdom
it’s the mightiest
in all three kingdom
earth, heaven and hell below
all three to its power bow
it’s the undisputed empress
of the whole universe.

Mister Owl
Mr. Owl thought he was wise
Mr. Owl thought he was nice
So he decided for himself
He deserved a dainty bride.
He went out to search
He searched high and low
Finally his choice zeroed
On pretty Miss Finch.
“Now, now Miss Finch,
You chirp too loud
You jump too high
You sing and fly too much!”
“Oh my dear, how can I convince?
Pretty little girls
Don’t act like this.
Do change yourself completely.”
Every time they met
He made Miss Finch flinch
His sarcasm quoted wisdom
Made her eyes wet.
She flew away to brighter lands
Now Mr. Owl sits brooding
His world is colourless, silent
His nights are spent without winks.

My prayers
Oh how I longed
How I yearned
For that handsome prince
To end up in my life forever
You turned your face away.
Soon that mask was gone
And I realized
Your naïve daughter
Was about to embrace snake
That’s why you ignored.
How I yearned for money
For riches, gems and glitters
Sometimes you gave
Mostly you ignored
How I sometimes was mad at you.
Then with wisdom came sense
I begged you for peace, love for all
Soon my heart filled up and swelled
I asked for a drop
And you filled up my being.

you were, are and will

Say those sweet words
=========================================================
Say those sweet words 28.08.10
----------------------------------------------------------
Love is so dreamlike
It needs confirmation
Tis true the embrace speaks
Yet sometimes words
Do the rest of the magic.
They become the foundation
On which the castle is built
For words spoken out
Give the solid base of truth
Then they do sound sweet.
Even love birds whisper
In each others ears
When they are with mates
In a voice sweet, tender
So shalt thou!
Tell me the depth and intensity
With which you love me
Tell me that you will stay
Forever right beside me
Oh I do implore you – tell!
--------------------------------------------------------
Tell me 26.03.2010
---------------------------------------------------------
If you like me
Tell me
Tell me what’s in your mind.
Don’t hide.
No matter how deep my love is
It still will need your consent
It can’t express itself
Without your reciprocation.
It may stay alive within
But won’t show itself to you
Unless you open your heart
And spread your arms to greet.
Love really is like a bird
Clutch it, it will die,
Hold it too lightly it will fly
You just have to hold it right.

Lessons of life 26.08.10

Oh how we stumble
In the walk of life
Just to learn
A lesson each time
Lessons that stay
To light up the path
Yet to be trodden
Waiting to be walked upon.
These lessons pass
From heart to heart
From mind to mind.
We share them
With those we care for
To show them
What’s to be remembered
And what is to be forgotten.
---------------------------------------------------
Remember 26.03.2010
====================================================
When you are in love
Remember my child!
Hearts are often broken
To pieces in love
Pieces beyond repair.
Remember,
Every thing that glitters
Is not gold, diamond
Sometimes imitations
Outshine the real gems.
Remember,
Every thing that tastes sweet
Is not nectar
Saccharine and sugar are sweeter
Better judge before deciding.
Remember,
We all stumble, fall and rise
To learn precious lessons
You will have to do the same
To win the love of your life.
Remember,
Trust your heart
Not the tongue and eye of others
To judge the perfect lover
And never let love slip away.

Without saying a word
It creates a heaven
In two blessed hearts.
Where words are lost
To be found in eyes
Where tongues get quiet
Eyes talk.
Warm embraces, soft kisses
Write paintings
Sing songs
Play sweetest symphonies.
The world hears nothing
They hear the world
In each other’s touch
In each other’s eyes.

Plucking up wild daisies
Tucking them in my hair
I feel like spring fairy.

For too long
To be adored.
It’s a precious jewel
It won’t lie scattered

A knowing eye, a caring hand
Will pick it up to adorn a crown.”
“When your heart yearns
Longs for a special soul
Why wait till eternity?
Till love grows cold?
If not now, then when?
On the day of his funeral?
Or his wedding day to the other
Will you claim your love for him?”

Found someone else.
A jewel never
Lies in dust undesired
It soon finds its place
Where it is desired.

Witch and woman 16.05.2010
------------------------------------------------------
Why did the witch stalked
the ordinary woman
feigning as her friend?
Acting as her foe?
She wanted the king
But the king loved the woman
So she wanted her out of way
That’s why she stalked her.
Why did she not simply wooed
Why did she had to play tricks?
Her black soul showed her the way
Of treachery in place of love.
Why did she pretended as a man?
And wooed her rival?
She wanted to trick her away
From her prey the king.
Why did she not stop that game?
When she had her prey in her web?
She was scared if she breaks her heart
She might start to look for the king again.
Why was she trying to make her fall?
For any Tom, Dick or Harry?
To pick the thorn from her path
She wanted her to fall in love.
If she was in love with someone
That meant her web was safe
She could finally forget her
And live her life with her prey.

Two fates got tangled
For they swirled around
The same golden sun
Black and white got cursed
To dwell together forever.
No matter how hard white tried
To shake away black
No matter how much black craved
To paint white in black
Fate did not let them succeed.
So they danced together
Matching every step
Like two puppets on a string
Trying to break free
But the puppeteer holds the strings.
So they dance together
Hating each other
Trying to break free
To part their ways
Without success.

Trying to break free
To part their ways
Without success.
