रौशनी में बयां कर गयीं माथे की सलवटें
जो राज़ थी बुनती रात भर की परेशाँ करवटें
The spell has
to go on..
Either through
wand
Or as a folk
lore
The charm of
life never fades
Like an oversqueezed
wick
Ignited to every
drip
The cracking
flicker every moment
That brightens
the world around
And dazzles in
the process
The rubicund
sun that dips
In the inviting
arms of terminus
Much with the
blush it had dawned
The bubble that
bursts on shore
Without a regret
of time
For every moment
has been the last
And it has shone
the best every instant
Reflecting the
sky and the sun
In its little
vibgyor perpetually
While the world
awaits the shiny rain
To see the rainbow
swing from heavens
The bubble softly
bursts and ceases to be
The life has
been so full throughout
That it cannot
die ever
Like a bunch
of dangling flora
That adds a bud
every often
The vase of branch
is fresh and full.

The mist sprays
over the falling drops
Like the tears
wrap incessant thoughts
A thud ! Followed
by a skyward leap
The decanted
drops of a livid mind
Meandering through
pruned shrubs
The lush green
tea plantations
Interspersed
amidst wild woods
Like sober children
in a mad throng
Delicately crafted
amidst rampant randomness
The breeze blows
to tell many a tale
Of lost kingdoms
in the bright hills
Beyond the horizon
of infinite skies
While the songs
that are woven in the dusk
Stretch to the
dumb wild through their echo
Like the last
ripple of the tumultuous day.

The stripes that
drape upon
Blades of grass
in the woods
Bear a testimony
to the similarity
The feline stripes
have to them
And to those
that are preyed upon
Once the dark
wraps them all
In the strings
of his webbed palms
The trapped world
wallops back
And takes a night
long to crawl out
Into the wide
arms of yawning dawn
When the stars
fold back into shine
And fire flies
ignite the dormant sun
The twinkle is lost to blazing dazzle
Then the true
colors are evidently obvious
The camouflage
of the intent
Is the darkness
of our mind .

The shadows draw
the body
Beckon them to
follow
Within defined
outlines
The vessel rocks
in the ripples
The residue of
conjured up tides
Like a moonlit
dawn of time
For the wick
glows brighter
Often than the
splinter
That ignites
the first spark
Now it gasps
on the ground
Amidst the trampling
smother
As the eyes are
glued to torch
That fills the
darkened lines
Where every shadow
has a body
The last chance
the dead have
To meet those
of their type
For the survivors
often spend life
To save those
that have demised.
