Word Juggler

He told her, "Don't Neglect me

As I am Perfect for you."

She answered, "Look I used to Suspect you

But now I don't. Yet still I don't Detect a single reason

As to why I should Select you!!

I agree there is no Defect in you

But I can't find any Subject common between us."

He replied, "I Respect your opinion, lady.

But you need to Introspect in this regard, please.

As I find not just one Object but many, that are common.

Before I Project myself in front of this world

Like a guy that can make a sizable Impact,

You need to decide about the combined Effect that we can make!"

She answered, "Can you Protect me wherever needed?"

He said confidently, "Yes,

I can do that in every Aspect wherever you go!!"

The Midnight Romance

The romance between the cat and the moon!!

The cat looked at the moon
The moon looked back at her
Both fell in love soon
There remained nothing to differ.

She asked the moon one day,
"Where are all the mice?
Tell me, my love, as you are over there
Observing everything below before every sun-rise.

You sit there and watch whole night
What happens in all the nook and corner of this place,
I would love you even more if you help me Mr. White
To satiate my hunger, so please show some grace."

The moon replied with cool conviction,
"Look, my charming lady, I would have loved to help
But, I can't as I have to follow the rules of Benediction
So I suggest that you don't need to yelp.

May it be a cow, a lion or a mighty elephant
By themselves have all, to find their food
So do not expect any help and be eminent
Go, find your prey as daily you would."

The feline creature looked in dismay for a while,
As she thought about what the moon just said,
But then she felt he was still friendly and not hostile
And advanced into the streets to find her bread.

Not before long she saw a big, mischievous mouse,
Jumping here and there with no fear at all,
As if all the cats in the world had disappeared along with their spouse!!
She got interested, drew closer and slowed her crawl.

Then she pounced on him as he came very near
Put him in her mouth as he squeaked along
Aha!! She had finally something to cheer
As now there was food which she could enjoy all day long!

As she jumped on a tree-branch with a strong heave
Her mind got occupied with what the moon had told before,
The rodent was dead and there was nobody else to deceive
Now she could sit and eat whole night, with all her decor.

With nothing more to explore, she thought about the moon's advice
"Ah!" - She spoke to herself, "He was so right!!
For had he not asked me to search for the prey myself twice
It would have become a habit for me to rely on someone else's insight."

I present to You, my new Video, "IF I WERE AN ALBATROSS"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdmVD_wxJPI



Dear Blogger reader, 

It gives me a lot of pleasure to present to you, my new Video, "If I were an Albatross". 

The Squirrel and Me

This poem is based on a true event that occurred in my life. 

It was an hour before sunset and I was feeling free

As I stood at my window watching the huge fine tree.

Suddenly my eyes caught a squirrel on the ground

With a nut in its hands, it was enjoying on a small mound.

I kept watching the playful animal, running here and there

The fun was limitless as I forgot the universe during my stare

She was so frolicsome, carefree and full of life

The pleasure was immense as I forgot all the strife.

She jumped among the branches of the tree

Unstoppable in its juvenile spirit and all that spree

Suddenly then she climbed the trunk and went right on top

Where she looked around and had a minor stop.  

She closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep

Her posture was silent like a brilliant elite

As she fell asleep, I enjoyed her cute innocent look

She was motionless in the nap that she took.

Then from nowhere did a kite come flying upon

It caught the squirrel in its claws, giving no time to respond

But as it flew back into the skies the rodent slipped down

And came straight towards the same grassy mound.

For a moment it lied there unconscious

An ugly thought struck me as I became cautious

I descended down the stairs of my apartment

Took the squirrel and brought it to my basement.

A sprinkle of water and Ah! it opened its eyes

The cute little thing looked at me with a lot of surprise!!

She did not run, as if she wanted to stay with me forever

For reasons that my soul understood but mind didn’t whatever!

I took her with me to my home and we became great friends

During my leisure hours she played around my face with both her lovely hands

Then one day she disappeared and never came back

I understood it was time to depart though our friendship remained intact.

Two Eyes and a Story

There are these Two Eyes

And there's a Story,

There's a bit of Cloud

And there's a bit of Water.

It keeps flowing in two small streams,

Whether you listen or not

It keeps on telling, 

Some by written notes, 
Some by spoken words.

It's a bit familiar, it's a bit unknown,

It ends wherever the tears stop,

It's new yet

It is so old!!

As one gets finished, 
The other starts getting liked,

That forgotten matter then 
Arrives on the lips,

Yet it's a story of those two Eyes.

There are these Two Eyes

And there's a Story,

There's a bit of Cloud 

And there's a bit of Water.

मैं चाहता हूँ

मैं लिखना चाहता हूँ,
मन की गहराईयों से
झिंदगी के कुछ ऐसे पलों के बारे में जब
मैंने अपने आप को पहचाना
ईस दुनियां की दुनियादारी को माना
सच को झूठ और झूठ को सच करने की
निरन्तर हो रही साझिशों को
एकदम क़रीब से जानाl

मैं देखना चाहता हूँ वॉ ख़्वाब
जो हक़ीक़त बनने की गुंजाइश रखे न रखे
लेकिन उनमें ऐसा ख़याल, ऐसी ताजगी, ऐसी ताक़त हो
जो ना सिर्फ़ मुजे बल्के
उसे देखने का होंस्ला रखने वाले हरेक शख्श को
एक नई उम्मीद, नई लेहर, नई उमंग से भर देl

मैं गाना चाहता हूँ
बिलकुल उस परिन्दे की तरह
जो आसमाँ की ऊँचाइयों को छूता हुवा
जीवन की जबरदस्त महफ़िलों का
अकेले ही लुफ्त उठाता रहता हैं
फिकर नहीं
उसे सुनने वाले क्या सोचे ना सोचेl

हे इश्वर, हे जग-रक्षक ,
मुजे ऐसे लिखने की सोच दे
ऐसे देखने की दृष्टि दे
ऐसे उड़ने की हिम्मत दे
ऐसे जीने का जझबा देl

Sometimes

Sometimes, I don't know why, deep in my heart, a thought arrives, 
As if you have been created just for me,
You were wandering among the stars before we met,
You have been asked to visit the earth just for me.

Sometimes deep in my heart, a thought arrives, 
That these eyes and this body belong just to me,
This gracefully dense shade of hair is meant just for me,
These lips and these arms belong just to me.

Sometimes deep in my heart, a thought arrives, 
As if somewhere on the road, a marital bugle is blowing,
It is our first night and I am lifting your bridal cover,
You are in my arms, so shy and still smiling!!

Sometimes deep in my heart, a thought arrives, 
Will you love me the same for the rest of our lives?
Will you look at me with the same awe and wonder?
I know you are yet so “unfamiliar” but still, Oh yes still,
Sometimes deep in my heart, a thought arrives,
Sometimes deep in my heart, a thought arrives.

The Sphere of Enlgihtenment

It is the sphere of Ultimate Knowledge about the Self, 

Where questions like "Who am I actually, Why have I come in this world" etc.
Are answered comprehensively and interestingly.
Once a being enters this sphere
Words like "I, my, mine, my body, my property" seem worthless,
The darkness of ignorance disappears suddenly,
The dawn of Self-realization occurs,
And he begins to feel that inner happiness
The one which stands at the pinnacle
The one which gives so much joy,
Incomparable to any other worldly pleasures,
The best one, the highest one amongst all,
Then the ultimate, undeniable Truth is felt,
It depends on a particular individual
As to what he does after that
Whether he lives according to this new Realization
Or goes back to his materialistic ways
His destiny is decided by the path he treads.

She

Oh God! What's happening to me👨 these days? 
Why can't I remove her👧 from my brains?
I've seen her just a few times,
She👸 lives nearby my old residence,🏡
Every night🌉 when I go to sleep,
She quietly moves into my dreams! 😇
Her name initials are same as mine,✍️
Tell me, O Lord, what's Thy wish?😎  -(kb/27-02-2018)

The Dictator

                             THE  DICTATOR

Passing by the streets of Baghdad, a peculiar site I saw

Pulling down they were, this huge statue of Saddam Hussein 
Ruthless in action and without a hint of flaw
They grounded the colossal one, with a lot of disdain.

For a moment, time freezed and everyone was so still
Birds stopped flying, onlookers ceased to move at all
Around my spine, I felt a strange sharp chill 
As I watched the statue crumble down and fall.

As their dictator fell, the crowds danced in joy
I pondered over his rule over those 24 long years
Pitiless, stubborn and solid was his style and ploy
As he let none go against what came between those ears.

During those days, his masses looked at him with a lot of awe
His army men carried within them about him so much fear
Gold, jewelry and huge amount of land
He possessed gradually as he lifted his power gear.

But Look my friend, today it’s all gone adrift
His glory, wealth and mighty hand have become history!!
A crumbled statue, a dead dictator is all that is left 
And people have long forgotten him and his tyranny.

Does wealth, power and fame last forever?
The answer, my friend, is a clear negative
Humans should learn from the fall of this dictator
About the above, one can't be so addictive.

As if

As if
====

As if there is a complaint deep in your heart,
As if you just told a story with your eyes
As if a lifetime was spent remaining awake
As if someone is living, but is about to die.

Every time we meet, a feeling lingers on,
As if your eyes are asking something to me.

An unknown feeling rides the mind, while walking on the street,
She is looking at me, hiding somewhere somehow...!

A journey of centuries suddenly got contracted in a small second,
As if life travelled fast, very fast.

I keep on thinking about you for hours and hours,
As if all the time of my life has been written in your name.

As if there is a complaint deep in your heart,
As if you just told a story with your eyes
As if a lifetime was spent remaining awake
As if someone is living, but is about to die.
