River’s Autobiography

I am all and wholesome,
Starting from the blue
As small and tiny in nature,
But majestic and mighty in stature
For my journey winsome.
As the sign of unison,
United to leap forth to the deep
From highs to lows
From the head to the foot

As raindrops in communion, showered

When clouds delivered,
Amid sparks and lightnings
Amid roars and thunders
For the flow of my life from wombs,
Battering all over the tops,
Flowing through glaciers.
Sunrays pass through my dot mien
Offering the pretty rainbow,
My choicest gift for the joy of viewers.
I feel pride for my ride lively
In my constant flow lovely,
Bubbling and gurgling,
Full in might, full in life
I flow …I flow
With glow on my brow,

Twinkling with stars in nights
Shining with the sunrays in days.
My flow is ceaseless in bliss
Selfless in service,
Relentlessly quenching the thirsts
Of parched throats of lands
Offering the breath to creatures,
Seeds sown and hidden
I deck them all in green
For life to shine in life-sheen.
It is my pristine and primary duty
In my long autobiography in enormity,
The course of my flow, invincible in force

From ups to downs
With twists and turns.

The pebbles, purling pearls, at my bottom,
Know that I travel sans weariness.
I live ever in my flow to echo
In boatmen’s songs,
Letting sailors sail on my flow.
I glimpse all gazing me in love,
Offering prayers in devotion,

I offer them free gifts for life.
With me, they love to make a parley
I care for all, leaving nobody
It is my relation and concern,
Minding my sole sojourn.
I reach my mighty mother-ocean
As a foetus at her heart
To be born for my flow ever,
the present to merge the past
To live in the future,
The eternity of my journey.

The Mind Is the Fountain

The mind is the fountain
Perennial source of wants to spurt
They leap like rising tides
They race like galloping horses,
I fly on the wings of wants
Like butterflies and fireflies
In my sport and game of life.
I do not know where to fulfil
My wants in the realm of facts
Some say wants are sure to rise
But they are shattered in time
That is indeed life chime
Some say that one should have luck
Where is that luck to be found?
Is the luck on earth for man’s mirth?
How does it shine in its reign?
Some say it is in the rainbow colours
For luck I launch a wide search
Luckily, I find the rainbow in the sky
I am not a child to climb it
Nor am a mountaineer to ascend it.
Some say luck paces than the hare
I pace much faster and speedier
It is not found at that speed.
Some say luck moves like tortoise
I move so but I do not find it.
Some say they are fulfilled at will
By sheer means of hard work
I do that in devotion
With all expectation

Single in the Field

I listened to her in field
Singing a song outpouring
Her profound feelings
Risen from her sensitive heart
For the bloodshed and the tears
Of victims of rapes and killings
Violence in the land of peace
Unrest in the arena of equanimity
For the rogues in cow’s face
For brutes in sheep’s clothes
Villains in the false guise
Caring to smile all the while
She heard or seen on the television
The incidents of suffering,
Hating the race of man to be human
With humanistic principles
I love a man with no hypocrisy
Whom I marry
To be his mate lifelong
Where is he?
Where should I find him
In the love of mankind
In the welfare of man’s race?
Her question strikes my heart
For I found my life mate
I love her in the heart of my heart
To journey all the miles
My heart in its lovely parley
She is comely
She will be my life mate.
