~ Embers of Memories… ~ 

☆

Time’s dark undertow sweeps us under,

Erasing the ever ephemeral present,

Leaving the memories etched on the soul

like indelible scars refusing to heal, forever…

*

In the unfathomable depths of our being,

a fading ember of the past still glows,

A beacon of longing that refuses to be

extinguished by the passage of time…

*

Fragile, fleeting memories cling to the life,

desperate to evade the abyss of forgetfulness,

Yet time’s relentless tide wears them down,

grinding them into the quicksand of oblivion…

*

Still, we cherish these tattered remnants,

treasuring the love, laughter, and tears they hold,

For in their fragile beauty, we find solace,

a testament to the human heart’s capacity

to remember, to love, and to cherish endearing

moments that shape us, that make us human..!

~ Self-discovery… ~ 

☆

My ceaseless endeavor

to comprehend the life,

An attempt to unravel it

is my formidable inspiration…

To perceive and pursue the life

is the driving force in itself,

Finally, I infer:

I am what I am,

I am what I am not,

Between this being

and non-being,

I exist somewhere…!

(This poem has been cited from my book “The Variegated Life of Emotional Hearts”.)

☆ Respect… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

I’m not

as you are thinking.

You have seen

my body;

the dress of soul!

 

Don’t respect me

my body

the dress of soul.

Try to search

another side of the wall

hanging between

dress and soul.

 

If you succeed

then

I will respect you

else

you respect me.

~ Transcendent steps… ~ 

☆

Merging with the crowd, but never drifting apart,

Their criticisms, can never deter my sanguine heart

My path is my duty, my journey my sacred creed,

Undaunted by praise or blame, even if I bleed

*

Entranced by the odyssey, I just walk, unhindered

A traveller focused on the destination, undeterred

For me, journey’s goal, is to reach its fruitful end,

I follow the path, steadfast, unfazed but contend

*

My mantra echoes in “Karmanye vadhikaraste’s” tone

I’m detached, my spirit finds its sacred space, alone

The path unfolds its splendor, a journey to ascend,

Embracing each step, as heart and soul transcend

☆

* “Karmanye Vadhikaraste” is a Sanskrit phrase from the Bhagavad Gita, meaning: “Your right is to perform your duty only, but never on the fruit of work.”

~ Life Lessons…  ~ 

☆

I don’t regret the things I did wrong,

I regret the good things I did

for the wrong people

Those who point fingers at others,

Sometimes give them a mirror as a gift.

When you point a finger at someone…

Always remember that…

three fingers point towards you..!

~ Echoes of You… ~ 

☆

In your sweet memories,

my heart remains aglow

An endearment that lingers on,

with an ever shining halo…

 

Whispers of the golden past,

a gentle breeze that blows

A fragrance that pervades,

wherever my heart goes

 

In the quietude of night,

I feel your haunting absence

An eerie silence that echoes,

as it misses your presence

 

The stars in the sky above,

offer a soulful show of light

A celestial reminder of the

divine love’s pure delight

 

And though you’re far away,

my heart remains with you

A love that’s forever strong

steadfastly, loyal and true

 

In dreams, I see your smile,

a radiant beam of light

A guiding star that shines,

in the darkness of night..!
