Experience of Life

Experience of Life

The golden of your hair
melts in your kurta
which loosely caresses
your body -----
which embodies
a soul- sweet and innocent
turned bitter
at the experience of life.

The old- fashioned 
gold earrings
speak of the legacy
of royals
who suffered
back- stabbing
and turned bitter
at the experience of life.

Your gait reminds me
of the lost world charm
Your smile twists your lips 
which once tasted nectar
turned bitter 
at the experience of life.

Your milky complexion
Smooth texture of the skin
Light brown eyes
and tall stature
are witness to the heavenly place
which now-a-days has
turned bitter
 at the experience of life.

The Other Side of the Globe


You are there 
Just a click away
Watching the same channel 
Free stock photo of city, dawn, sky, sunset
as I am.

Just now 
Either you will call me
or
I will.

And we would discuss
as usual
What is done since morning
What is to be done in the rest of the day.

How I wish
We were together
sitting and chatting
over a cup of tea.

But, then
I realize
Neither would you call me 
nor would I
for you now are 
on the other side of the globe.

LIFE!

LIFE!


I walk and walk
And walk
But don’t reach anywhere
The days become night as such.
Is it too much
to ask for peace
Which is probably
not reachable
As often people are
When they don’t want to
 talk to you.
The monotony of ringtone
Of a mobile
Thank god!
Can be changed
But
LIFE
Its stubborn
Doesn’t budge an inch
This way or that……

सब कुछ

सब कुछ



सब कुछ ही तो चाहते हैं हम
इच्छाएं जानती नहीं ,बांधों में रहना
नहीं सहना, नहीं सहना
आत्मा करती चीत्कार ,
हिलोरें मारता भावनाओं का हूजूम
चाहता है रौंदना वो सब कुछ
जो आता है
हमारे और हमारी इच्छाओं के बीच-
फिर सोच विचार को कौन पूछता
जब आवेश का समंदर भिगो जाता
डुबो जाता वो सब कुछ
जो अब तक हासिल किया
लहरें भिगो देती सर से पाँव तक

और जब ज्वार उतरता
ले जाता साथ बहा
वो सब कुछ जो अब तक
जरूरी था जीने के लिए
समाज में रहने के लिए

खो कर सब कुछ क्यों दिल रोता
येही तो चाहता था
 पाना सब कुछ
देखना सब कुछ
छूना सब कुछ
आग -पानी एक साथ
जमीन -आसमान एक साथ
शिखर - सतह एक साथ

सब कुछ!
जो था परस्पर विरोधी
इसी ने तो चाहा था
पाना एक साथ।

Second born

  Sons are second born as They were a pain to be borne. So gods gave them birth as a second child. As parents they were completely...
