Muse
What is it
That has made eyes to twinkle,
Brought new life in limbs,
Smile on face,
Made heart to dance?
Head looking down Swing up
to
to
Explore vastness of sky?
Legs are taping
Body swinging in rhythm,
What is it?
What is it
That has driven depression from mind
Away by miles and
Transformed life into a
Celebration?
Whatever,………………please stay.

Elements Lost
Beautiful fishes
Long and swift
Playing around sea plants
In deep within
So beautiful, mesmerizing
Sometimes Golden
Sometimes pink, blue…..
…..Different moods
Wanting to show them to you,
I try to shape them in words
Add sketch or photos
But at best is a very poor mock up
I still persist
Trying to bring those deep water beings
Into dry air
And present to you
But
Dead fishes
Elements lost
Please see my limitations
And forgive me

Vital
Not happy with
Situation around
And thought
Let go,
Not holding on,
…..Keeping silent
Will bring about desired effects
It did not.
Keenness for silence to be effective,
Took away a
Part of that silence
….A part so vital
For silence to be effective

Sour Grapes
Sour Grapes
Life spent, searching Mr. Right,
… Of her ’perception’
She found one, at last!
But she did not fit
But she did not fit
His perception of
Bride!!
"Oh, all men are like that"
She grumbled
While browsing on a dating site!-

One Single Impression : WRONG
Friends,
I just got up after watching a live debate about conversion
of two Muslims in Kashmir valley on TIMES
NOW. It was a terrible show. Quality of debate was nowhere near mellowness
& serenity such discussions require.
Faith became a matter of ego instead a tool that alleviate harmony,
love.
Following verse is a
result of that discussion – that noise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith,
A subject of heart.
Debated on a news channel
Arguments and counter arguments
All products of limited minds
Play of egos
Creating noises
Troubled Heart feels lost in that
Noisy bazaar
And no one cares!
Missing is serenity that connects
Missing is
Faith.
Harshad

connection
Connection
Thanks to smiles
To my small gestures,
Thirsty soul feels quenched
Loved and esteemed.
Small relief seen on faces
Connects me in that moment to
Infinite source of bliss
Indebted I am to
Those smiles.
“In dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed” – Khalil Gibran

Soul
Soul
Godliness in a flower
Excitement in a contest
Fun in a party
Emptiness in a lonely
In you, me
In this table, chair…..
In trees and birds and clouds….everywhere,
Cannot be seen
Cannot be described or portrayed.
But known within,
More so when
See a dead
….Death in a dead.

A strict Teacher
A strict teacher
A teacher
Stiff and hard,
For him
Rules are rules!
Observe them
Follow them
Meet deadlines
Maintain standards high
Right on time
No mistakes
No mess ups
Or force to amend
For rules are rules
Any violation
Meets with set of rules
Rules and more rules
For rules are rules
Oh! Rules,
Invincible Wall of rules
Surrounding him!
In alumni meet
Anxious, inquiring
About each student,
Holding tears in his moist eyes
Wall seen pierced
Revealing a soft heart
Rules are just rules
