139. Lonely and Cold

Nostalgically drawn

I stand

Stroking the contours

Of your face

 Captivated by the

Fresh smell of the after-shave.

Effortlessly lips meet

With tongues

Setting fire

To the passion

Held in check.

Dazzling light

Knocks me out of breath

Locked in your arms

Rhythmically we move

Till I wake up

To find myself

Lonely and cold.

138. Discarded

Don't walk
The thorny path
There is nothing
You can ever gain
Pricks and scratches
Will tear you apart.
Take the path
Clear of hindrance
And live your life fuller.
Of no use
Is the empty barrel
Discarded it must stand
Best in the garage
Till it is ready
To be used again.

137.Aghast!!

Aghast! Stand I
Watching the youth
With liquor on their breath
Ashamed at our generations
Inability to mold
The soft clay entrusted in our hands.

Who will reprimand
The straying youth?
Shall parents and society
Give up their responsibilities?
Aren't we alone responsible
For ruining their lives?

Doomed is our future
If our kids go astray.
Grooming our kids
Should be our primary job
If we wish to be awarded
With rich dividends.

136.POWER

POWER
You are so heady,

Swayed by you

Are even the steady.

Armed in your attire

Meekest change,

In thy name

Spitefully the seek revenge.

Pleasantry greetings

Turn into scowl,

Making them appear
No less than an owl.

POWER

Tighten your hold,
Or else soon

Mutilated will be liberty,
Tossed will be democracy.

POWER

Don't be a puppet
In the hands of
Vested interest.
For you alone
Have the strength
To have them pounded
And once again grounded.

135.aao .....

aao karae sar kalam

apnea jarurato ki

aao mil batae gaaam

dusro ki

khud ki pareshaniyo mae

nahak kyu uljhae ho manu

tujh sa hai

 lakho jyada dukhi

eis dharttee par hai  kayee

aao samvedna ka haath badhayae

aao unkae dukh dard batae

 aao zindgi ko behtar banayae.

Monak gap monae dablau

Sudhbudh lekin haira baislau

 

Nai kahi ki kelau  paulau

chain lekin haira baislau

 

jeewanak baat par neet challau

jeebak eicha lekin haira baislau

gaap sabta sab din bujhlau

subudhi lekin haira baislau
