Listen To

Give a landing ear and listen to
That may not be sensational but true
As you near to catching its sense
You will feel happiness and will never be tense

We have no time to hear patiently
We fear of being commented adversely
Or bear in grudge that it may turn ugly
But that has not been understood truly

If heard unclear then it may create uneasiness
The tension lines may rush up on the face
You may try to avoid unpleasantly spoken words
It may drag your feet instead of going forward

If we can create little peace around
So many things can be found
You have so much to give and take
As it everything is here and at stake

We miss a close and sacred link
Others may force you to flee or sink
You need to talk and communicate
Mention clearly and honestly indicate

You can catch the words even if spoken gently
Its impulse is understood and caught silently
There should not be any misspell in return
As it may then make wrong gesture in turn

So converse freely and move closely
It may look sometimes nonsense and silly
Yet it carries powerful message
To remove hurdles and create smooth passage

We have lived uselessly so far
We talk less of peace than war
Now time to come close and spend leisure moments
It has been realized now as heavenly sent

In Heaven

“The marriage is decided in heaven” legend goes on
Very holy, sacred one and totally unknown
No one knows when it will take place
It may turn into reality without any base

You need to whisper gently
Words must be spoken silently
Only eyes speak and tongue remain closed
Powerful thrust but feelings never disclosed

How can you invite when gripped with fear?
How long can you withstand and bear?
Some end must be put to an excitement
When it becomes known with the commitment

The bride walks behind in silence
The face looks bright and lines not tense
The Whole world is under the feet
When she may walk down to meet

It means a lot when hand is extended
All kind s words and not meant to bee offended
It is proposal with seriousness
Complete in agreement to remain together and face

I wish all happiness in new union
As it is time to express, show the trust to companion
Taken pledge not to commit any breach
As it will be long inning and widely stretched

It may be nice to think about future course
Care must be taken to see that it doesn’t turn into curse
No one may give helping hand in personal affairs
As it will be construed as improper and unfair

Bitter words

Sun’s direct rays and heat in hot season
Nothing to complain about for any reason
I might have allowed it as casual feeling
Everybody knows and doesn’t expect dazzling

It may not penetrate or cause any harm
Of course it may be hot but not little warm
It is natural and may be expected more
Man will find refuge and feel it was not before

Words spoken with bitterness burn us completely
It will create impact on mind sudden and immediately
You are caught unaware with no defense to offer
Generally what is considered wise is to keep mum and suffer

It may take more time to adjust and recoup
Self assessment for sore relation and slight let up
Insult may cause breakdown with no other way
You may have set back and nothing to offer or say

We may not know what to speak in distress
Mind not at rest and seized with stress
Common sense on run and unable to assess
Hasty action may lead for immediate action to press

Bitter words may bite you slowly
May not allow you to regain immediately
You may find it hard to forget and forgive
You may offer no reaction and remain passive

It is state of mind that only speaks
Not sure of result but inviting future bleak
Damage is done with no possible gain
It is difficult to face insult and pain

Once spoken words with hatred can’t be taken back
Will spoil the relation completely with visible crack
Should not be uttered at all without any sense?
We should have room not to feel tense

Words spoken in friendly way also create tension
Relation will be at stake and in question
It may cause damage and turn it sour
Retrieve the position …………….

Deaf and Speechless

What can be taken as granted?
What can be dreamt of and wanted?
Why there can be no meeting ground?
A satisfactory answer has to be found

We are not made of fleshes and bones alone
The old philosophy remains there but actually gone
How some of the feeling can barely remain unexpressed?
When sentiments are not at all understood and faced

I watched her move freely like bird
With all that she had and silently heard
I was listening to the noise from river flow
How silently it flowed with zigzag way to go!

I wanted her to come close and speak
But could do nothing as if felt weak
She had all the glamour to influence
I waited eagerly for the golden chance

I thought of dead silence
Where even pin dropp can be heard at once
Words murmured can be caught up with lips movement
Eyes can do the rest with inviting moment

Let nothing is spoken
Only gesture can be known as token
What must be understood from silent move?
Nothing except love has to prove

I may not feel like to look at her
Yet her presence can be felt near
Fragrance that air pulls along the gentle blow
The happiness and joy can reflect and show

I would wish black nights to enter
The stars and moon can sit at the center
Only silver rays can spread its influence
Rest all can be followed with mute silence

Difficult to contain

It is hard to maintain
And very difficult to contain
All efforts sometimes go in drain
Beauty may lie there if you express no pain

Promises are to be broken
If they are merely a gesture and stay as token
It has no value if have the customary nature
How can one be so much confident and sure?

The psychology is to be understood clearly
How that may be takes as very dearly?
When times comes at crucial juncture
How it shakes foundation as well as the structure

Person may retaliate and act in self defense
If things go wrong or create any nonsense
It is compulsion of human nature to act
Let people think otherwise and react

I would love and prefer to be alone
It may not deter my path even in cyclone
Promises do not mean to be of nonsense value
Enough thought must be give along with honor and dues

It never bothered me as an individual
I have aligned to the role not supposed to be dual
I would work toward strengthening the confidence
What is more important in life is its presence

Nice words might have been spoken at the start
Those may be taken as mere words and product of an art
Its real test may come sometimes later
When loved person may turn out to be hater

Ability and efforts

What is there in good name?
No one should share the blame
It has nothig to do with personality
It is nothing else but efforts and ability

You smile in life and make others too
You may have difficult time to pass through
Still it holds some logic and nice ground
The joy and happiness is always found

It is not difficult to give thought a shape
It can be in form of music or sound on tap
It may serve the purpose of making others known
The earth may yield crops when seeds are sown

Your heart should be suscepitble to some change
It must admit some views and try to manage
This will create some space for real feelings
It may give some sense of belonging

You may be struck on the way
Still you may have few words to say
The aspirations may force you to write and stay
The fear and other factos may drift and go away

Don’t you feel happiness when see somebody smile?
This must go on and not stay for while
It is gift from the God and to be given to all
They must feel joy and saved from any fall

This ism biggest assest
The mind should be reset
It can catch any change easily
We should act wise and not silly

It helps to create permanent bond
The change we appreciate are very much fond
It makes pure heart to beat for harmony
It may not influence by bitterness or money

Let it be felt universally
It is hoped and prayed generally
It may prove our point one day
It will be realized in respectable way

You Have Deceived

You have deceived
The message was long back received
God sent you here with big smile
You forgot him meanwhile

You were to spread
Live the life and lead
Peaceful life with message
Not to force anybody to live in cage

He made no difference
You were chose and sent at once
With love and peace
To live with others at ease

Every object live with harmony
Still message not understood by many
Hatred and war control the rage
Create bad blood and drive a wedge

Obey and listen to what is meant for
Stop the unrest and avoid the war
“Peace and calm is my message”
Open the chapter with message on page

Correctly understood

If I have correctly understood the contents
It deserves no prayers and comments
It is complete in full sense with all answers
Its essence will be accepted by only fewer

I read and reread the holy book
I have no reason to believe it is fluke
The message has got its weight
Only it is to be understood in context and very right

Some of the messages do not appeal
All kind of confusion persists and prevails
I see no one around to clear the doubts
I go deep and very deep with “ifs” and “buts”

Lord, I have no place to go and plead
I see in your merciful eyes and try to read
You are in pain and anguish
Yet love for mankind is not finished

Where from that love and tolerance comes?
Why do you accept everybody and welcome?
All perpetuators and wrong does get easy reprieve
You have same eye with affection even if they deceive

I hear bells from the distance
It enlightens me with no disturbance
How much peace and comfort with your presence?
I sincerely bow down and fold my hands at once

I close the eyes and slip in memory to feel
You were undergoing pain and anguish still
We are still not true to your word and message
You keep generous eyes for our clear passage

I see smile with tears on your face
You are amused and troubled at mad race
You are unsure of what we have understood
Whether we will do anything if at all good

What does the soul try to search?
Why good words fall on deaf ears even if you preach?
Holy words are not meant to be taught?
The sprit strengthens on which lines to be fought

At point of given time, you will be forced to commit
All venom to come out from heart and vomit
The suicidal tendencies my try to come on fore
But the merciful eyes may not allow it therefore

You have gone off the right track
You have no resolve to repay it back
Where has He asked anything in return?
Still you do not find trust with words in turn?

You do not wait for words to be known
Your action and conduct may become well-known
You may get whatever you want for selfless service
This is clear message and assured with the promise

“I shall serve the destitute and poor”
“I shall not differntiate the wrong doer”
“All are my children and reside in heart”
“Chant the hymns and lead the happy life from the start”

Are We Growing Wise

Of National security we so often hear
Just one more example of power held through fear
We may be growing older but are we growing wise
We trust the power hungry and swallow their lies?

We only believe what we want to believe
And for to cling to power us they gladly deceive
For their love of power they create us and they
Why must we believe what these liars to us say?

About people we don't know from a bar of soap
When we vote people like them to power for peace can we dare to hope?
'Tis time we voted out the war men and give those for peace a go
'Tis from concilitary words not war words peace can only grow.

For to cling to their power only fear they create
And they tell us who to trust and they tell us who to hate
And for our choice of leaders on Election Day
In wars caused by hatred we all have to pay.

To kill a son

He won't say to kill son
There are various reasons
What can be dearer to kids?
Find out the correct leads

He meant to shed the dear one
No one took the notice and bothered none
Same age old sticking to orthodox views
Time is ripe now to think about dews

What do we offer in turn?
Is that only prayer for good return?
Sincere words for only well being?
Think not of worshiping to become king?

We just picked words but not spirit
It was clear and could be read even in dimly lit
It was meant to be understood by all
Good message with divine call

It is no different today
We have found the excuses on the way
We want the hope with bright ray
But do not heed what He has to say

Only three words he wanted to give
Love to others and make it to believe
No return for sins and try to forgive
Try to bear the pain and help to relieve

Poor and downtrodden are two eyes of God
Believe in Him and conscious not to be sold
Help them and get in turn all what you desire
He is there to look after all and admire

Many religions of the world has come up of their own
It had blessings from God and nicely given
Always on some understanding for followers
They will uphold the values and not lower

When some words are taken as spoken form mouth
You can’t interpret it as north for south
They are well intended and not meant to flout
The religion and preaching is all this about

It has survived the bad taste of the time and age
We have still preferred to confine to the cage
We conviniently hold the views to our advantage
We try to act differently even after reading from golden pages

God will never demand precious things from you
This is paramount fact and quite true
Nothing else is expected except true understanding
It will ever lasting and always binding

He is true father and rescues us in the time of crisis
There is laying of so much emphasis on this
He will direct us to do what ever is within our capacity
As he is fully aware and conscious of our ability

So love any religion you believe in
Pray any God you think you can close in
There may be overall change in your approach
The influence is ever lasting as such

Net Relation

It is net relation
But with full of questions
With fear, mistrust and doubts
And much more to talk about

I asked for picture
She sensed it as unsure future
'Some one may use it to malign' she told
It was good now for me not to insist and resign

I wait till that time
Until she may say next time
Of not then some other times
She may say 'I shall give you any time'

She will reassure me
To feel not bad but frank and free
'Time is not opportune and perfect
'Only you have to act' she may sight the fact

Even if you don't get it
The stage is already set for it
Picture or no picture
We are very much close for sure

'You are now close friend'
And may remain so till the end 'she may look up
Yet I miss her face
And think why this chase is? I shall see her and shut up

Say never anything like 'no'
But cautiously observe and go
Make it smooth for river water to flow
Never in haste loose the patience and blow

You may get nothing in return
Then it will be her turn
She may ask funny things to answer
Almost all may like it as rainy showers

Age Matters Less

Age matters less
When on odd situation you may suddenly face
The experience may show you the way out
Possibly remove the fear and clear the rout

We, the poets, create a drama
Pain, agony, misery and trauma
Ultimately create the scene of happiness
If situation demands it in such case

But do we feel part and suffer?
What more have we to offer?
Only sweet words or some hidden message
I think way out with smooth passage

People may think of some angles
Sometimes may be troubled by triangles
But what else can be done to assuage the feelings?
When there is hatred all around and urge for wanton killing

Certainly poetic skill can come to rescue
People may think fresh and overview
As sun appears over morning dews
What a show to present for quite few!

Early risers may witness it
Think of divine spirit and greet
Ultimately we too are of same origin
Why not forget everything and close in

I shall know then the gradual change
We may come to terms and manage
Ready to inscribe on golden page
Despite gloom scene and hot chase

Words strung across the sky

Words strung across the sky
~
Words strung across the sky
Waiting to be heard
Talk of peace and love
Building a heavenly utopia
To aid our sleep, to ease our guilt
To answer a call to faith
Wealth matters not to words
The class of man falls away
The only judgment is by the self
The words chosen and used
The words listened to
It is people who make a place
And words which bring them together
Let them be written or spoken
As they are found
By the soul of man

Words... (Tiny Bodies)

words have tiny bodies,
some young, some aged beyond thought.
words carry swords and plant tears,
words form tiny lamps in darkness.
words express the unexpressable,
ride bicycles on children's journeys.
words taunt silence with definition....
and some of the best are never spoken.
words heal wounds, and fill bowls,
weave webs while we sleep.
words often turn and betray us,
and often die for our sins.
words create universes,
and shed their clothes on well lit stages.
words translate both the wolf and the whale,
and bear the flag of mountains.
words bear children, but leave no tracks.
words hammer rusty nails.
words never ever wear shoes,
and dance with every other step.
words stroke the breast and touch the lips,
without apology or fear.
words give stars their destiny,
and name every grain of sand!

Then You Turn Away

I didnt want to see you
Not when youre at your best
And talk about the weather
I couldnt pass the test
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
I couldnt help but call you
I waited almost all the week
I didnt want to hear you
Laughing aloud at me
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away
Theres people saying that its obvious
That Im wasting my time on you
And people saying that its obvious
That Ive fallen in love, its not true
So many things I do
So many things I say
Give you the wrong idea
So many things I do
So many things I say
Just make a fool of me
Then you turn away
Then you turn away

Not Regular Visitor

I am not regular visitor
To shrines, churches or mosques
Yet I believe firmly in creator
But I find long wait and queues

I am blessed with his kind eye
That sees whole universe with smile
I find no tense moments when stat to write
As the wind carries in sky my little kite

We are held firmly by his wishes
How many may be daily waiting to perish?
Some may be parting with so much pleasure!
And some may be unfulfilled with discomfort and unsure

I did the work with difference
Projected all views through sentences
Might have gone here and there without precision
Yet that was perfect moment with clear decision

I knew no meaning of good poetry
I thought it may fine putting of words like good oratory
It proved little difficult when put into practice
It seemed all the more difficult to fulfill promises

It remained very in tense at heart
Some one rightly said” it is prayer with art”
Not all can sing a praises in his songs
As we are selfish and prove all the time wrong

My heart aches when hear some bitter words
I don’t take it to heart and believe in lord
I close eyes and pray for next good moment
Never bear a grudge in mind or lament

This makes me less vulnerable
I am more confident and capable
Poetic words flow from innocent heart
I think life can make with it a good start

What else can I do to project it properly?
But I have found the way to feel it happily
I think it is pure grace that poems flow directly
Those words create some harmony in mind divinely

Sure those words may be cutting across
People may be finding it boring or clear loss
I take it simple way of reaching to kind people
If little can be done to relieve their problems and troubles
