☆ ❣️ Birth of a Poem ❣️ ☆

❣️

Sayeth me, whenever one falls in love,

A Poet is born sometime, somewhere

Deep within my fathomless heart

I reckon that even more than the more..

That the lover Poet starts giving birth

in the form of the lovelorn verses galore…

❣️

Believe me, falling in love makes one,

a ceaseless, perennial river of poetry,

For sure, this is when the universe begins

to conspire to compel the new born poets

to compose the most enchanting melodies…

❣️

I wonder, if the poets are divine nightingales

descended in our garden of roses on the earth,

singing heavenly odes, enthralling the angels

With their ever romantic tone of merriment..!

❣️

☆ The market of life! ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

The world

is a market of life!

New lives

born to sell.

Old lives

destroyed and thrown

away

from the throne.

None knows

the mentality of ones.

Some say

old is gold

some say

new to sold.

Requirement of new

was too much

so they purchased me

fully

when I was new.

Now,

I am feeling

I have nothing of mine.

Body and soul;

thoughts and mind;

pulse and heart;

each and everything

is of customer

My Master!

My Lord!

My God!

and… his highness!

I’m sold

thus

I’m soldier

… of LIFE!

26th August 1977

☆ ~ Enigmatic Him… ~ ☆

☆

A euphoric fragrance thou art

that spreads with the wind…

But worry is of the flower only

Where would destiny take it to..?

☆

I thought, it’s just a wound,

it will naturally heal itself,

But then, who knew that it’d

spread deep inside the veins?

☆

Whenever he visits my abode,

For his bizarre company’s sake,

Even the entranced spring greets

by stopping by in my courtyard…

☆

He’s a wanderer only that keeps

moving around like a gust of wind

That would come and touch you,

and blow you away, eventually…

☆

But she too shall be sitting alone

on the sand lagoon somewhere

His love is also like a river, that

shall recede, leaving you desolate..

♥ ~ Apostle of Tolerance… ~♥

♥

They clasped her viciously,

Like a sharp piercing spear

Tried hard to free them off

But Alas! She couldn’t do so…!

*

Some unwanted ghastly thorns

audaciously pricked her feet

Tried hard to pull them out

But Alas! She couldn’t do so..!

*

Some unwanted pricks came

to wrap around her fingers,

Tried hard to jerk them off

But Alas! She couldn’t do so…!

*

Yet her bleeding soul kept smiling

despite the repeated lancinations,

That’s why for

enduring ever excruciating pain…

Woman is called ‘Apostle of Tolerance’..!

The Grey Lights# 33

☆ – “Life & Love” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Is it the same way you feel

or only my mind is on the wheel?

meaningless seems the way

and seems worthless the destiny

for hunger remains the same

in the end as well as in the beginning

or may be we are perceiving wrongly

for life is just surviving and not the living

*

but surviving is also meaningless

in the hollow hope of living

may be that’s why we imagine

of a place to go after dying

is there really any meaning in anything?

I don’t know my love

may be we should keep searching

*

the question that troubles our mind

that’s the curse of mankind

we don’t know from where have we come

and we don’t know where will we go

only the love we can truly feel

for it is beyond the questioning

why should we contain it?

for sure it will save us one day

from being extinct…

English Literature – Poetry – ☆ Locks of Superstition… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

Hemant Bawankar

☆ Locks of Superstition… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

In Verona

Juliet’s balcony,

below the balcony,

Juliet’s statue

and

behind the statue

hung in the grill

countless locks.

The old town of Bamberg

in the heart of the city

Regnitz river’s bridge

and

countless locks

hanging

on the fence of the bridge cables.

Under the bridge

on the cool surface of the river Regnitz

duck pairs

disport

unaware

of superstition

of modern western culture.

There is an illusion

that

locks that hung off the way

will make

their matches

‘unbreakable’

‘everlasting’.

I heard that –

often

locks are hung

and

relations are broken

Juliet remains the same

and

Romeos are changed.

Though,

we are not an exception

we are too

somewhat superstitious.

We do also visit

Temple -Mosque

Church – Gurudwara

shrines of the prophets.

Knowingly or unknowingly

we also prayed

and tied threads

for our posterity

for their safety

with this hope

that – if

children are well

and well survived

then

not only couples

none can break

the homes.

श्री संजय भारद्वाज जी की मूल रचना

संजय दृष्टि – प्रसव

मनुष्य जाति में

होता है

एकल प्रसव,

कभी-कभार जुड़वाँ

और दुर्लभ से दुर्लभतम

तीन या चार,

डरता हूँ,

ये निरंतर

प्रसूत होती लेखनी

कोई अनहोनी न करा दे,

प्रतिपल जन्मती रचनाएँ

मुझे जाति बहिष्कृत न करा दें।

English Version by – Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi

~ Delivery… ~

There is single birth

in human race,

May be twins and

in rarest of occasions

triplets or quadruplets…

But I am afraid that

this constantly

flowing pen

might cause some

untoward incident…

The creations born

every moment

may make me

an outcast…!

The world kept offering a

Never did I sell myself

despite many tempting offers

Now, I will offer myself

to you without any price…

Knoweth not with which

Your persona casts a spell,

Had to come rushing, since

Heart never gave any option

~ O’ Dear Moon… ~

O’ dear moon! Come back soon,

Of course, I am the sky

but then, I am too lonely…

These stars reside far away,

All these lovely panoramic scenes

live cannily in their own world,

You were the one whou would

perennially bathe me in moonlight,

With you gone, everyone leaves me

in the gloomy stark darkness only…

You’re te one who’d be my torch bearer,

You are always the light of my eyes,

You were my eyesight, the lighthouse,

You are the sphere of my daring courage,

What should I do with this black sky?

What could I do with the stark darkness,

Earlier evey if, you would go every day,

but then you would return the next day…

Always remember the path to my abode

O’ Moon! Do go if you must, but then

Make a promise to come back tomorrow,

Whole sky appears barren without you,

This house is not home without you,

As it falls lifeless without you in sight,

My world seems so deserted without you…!
