THE UNION
Majestically gorgeous and tall
To impress the passionate lover
Put on different charming colours
Without any accomplishment
Realizing, the romantic sweetheart
preferred zero figure.
They shed the deciduous
Awaiting the arrival of the consummate admirer.
The first encounter of skift of snow
Like a feather tickling the cheeks
He lovingly covered with whitecoat
The expectantly shivering trees

PERPETUAL STREAM.
The tantalizing feel was exhilarating whenever I wetted my tender feet of seven years in the cheerful stream in the forest area.
After sixty years, going through ups and downs of life, I visited this joyful stream, wetted my wrinkled feet and had the same fascinating feel.
The flowing water of perpetual stream!

Caution the unsuspecting
The fan tailed fly catcher pair was seen
Frequenting the area behind the house.
The bush of the trimmed bamboo trees
Swaying with delight to see the visitors a new.
The melody generator sweet little birds,
happy to find the place good enough
To make the nest guarded and secured
for laying and hatching the eggs
Easy accessed, hidden from evil eyes
Young ones would be sheltered and safe.
Hardly they could imagine the lurking,
wicked paws of the jumping cat
to trample the nest from the branch
which appeared protected and shielded
Few months ago, the cat attacked a nest,
pulled it down from the branch.
And oh dear! The young ones from inside,
were picked and gnawed
The uncontrollable distress of the parent birds
was beyond anybody’s capacity to bear
Somebody should caution
these unsuspecting parent birds.
Of the danger hidden in this
safe looking bush of bamboo
Someone should advise them to look for
unrestricted growing bamboo bushes
Where a nest on high branch there
would be out of reach of small four footed.
To go away, into deep forest.
Where the domestic cats
won’t be wandering,
with their evil eyes rolling.

THE DEIST
Dr.Satish was a Classical Physicist.
The Quantum theory upset his fundamental ideas.
The smallest atom gave way to 103 particles.
Satish was disturbed.
The string theory replaced particles.
Satish was shaken up.
The three-dimensional universe became many more dimensional multiverse.
“No. I can not rearrange myself any further. God, help me!” Satish said.

MEMOIR
Many days have passed since I woke up
From the snooze at the window seat of the local train
It has been many days since I lay down on moist grass
Watching the brightening eastern sky
It was many days ago that I got drenched
In the starlight of a no moon night
It was a long time back that I cleared my way
From the shrubs of the hilltop
It has been a long time since I tried
To gather the moon rays entering my bedroom
It was in a distant past that I got titillated
In the sprinkles of old film songs
It has been a long time since I had a
Tantalizing drink session with my friends
It has been quite some time since I lost hundreds of rupees
Playing three cards with long lost friends
For months I had no heated arguments
With my friends over the performance of a film actor
Many days have passed since I opened my heart up
and scribbled on a blank paper
I wonder whether the stranglehold of Covid-19, the world over
Has blunted my sensitive heartbeats
Or the news of the deaths of known and adored persons
Has blinded the sight of my inmost mind and made me myopic

O princess of my dream
Will you meet me in reality
Will you open up your feelings
Crowding in your mind
I have always appeared in
The picture you imagined
Which you have been seeing
Day and night
I am confused watching
Inscrutable movement of your eyes
I hesitate to hold you actually
Close to my heart
I want to take you as my queen and
Place you in my heart sharing
The tenderness of my emotions
To get through sprightly life
We will laugh together
We will cry together
We will be completely united
To live the life together.
Let us break the shackles of
Dreams. Imagination
And come out in real world
Holding each other
Everyone will mourn only for a few moments
If I go on the long journey of the eternity
Suns will shine, moons will glitter
Stars will follow their routine
Winds will continue blowing
No activity will cease
There will be downpour, crops will grow
With pride, rivers will flow
Nobody will visit the banks of river
Perturbed and worried
Close relatives will wipe their tears
Continuing daily activity with laughter & fun
If I leave this world for ever
What will they lose?
No regret leaving such a world
No getting involved with anyone here
No sending back empty handed the messenger of God
Will merrily embrace the long lasting peace

He can not be found in temples
Nor is He traceable in places of worship
He resides only there where people toil.
He does not need thanking him for good things
Nor does he respond to complaints for bad happenings
He just watches the performance in different situations
He does not care for the number of times He is remembered everyday
Nor does He bother about religious rituals
He appreciates only the honest feelings.
Neither does he keep count of incense sticks or candles burnt in front of him.
Nor does he take note of the value of offerings
He just measures the purity of mind.
Neither is it necessary to give up responsibilities
Nor is it required to be aloof from the society.
He understands only duties performed without expecting returns.
Does not matter how small is the action.
Or how insignificant is the thought
But that is the only way to reach GOD.

Whenever there exists a thick bond of love between souls of the couple,
There always is a bright moonlight spreading a web of affection on them.
Shower of pearls of warmth, a frequent occurrence.
The house turning into a shelter of gold of devotion never wavering
Every outing a trip to heaven, each trekking conquering EVEREST,
The avocation of skiing is gliding in the cool fresh air.
Each success in scientific experiment, winning the highest laurels of world,
Barring none, every tiff leading to creating a new spring of tenderness
