It is dark
dark, very dark, pitch dark,
Had a skid just now
with my right leg going apart
the left leg holding firm
the leg going weak pushing forward
hstriking over a beautiful table
which fell down with a bang
resuming the balance soon after
I stood aghast looking around
Alas! both my left and right legs
along with the table’s legs
got bruised over the fall
being human I cried with pain
Lo! the poor table of mine
croaked and fell silent.
That being the stage now
having injured my wobbling legs
and having broken the table’s lovely legs
I stay mum groaning in silence
over the pain I incurred
purely being the fault of mine
resulting out of carelessness
certainly an outcome of the agitated mind
that has become almost frequent
stumbling and screaming
over nothing and for everything.
The flash goes bright
blinding the eyes
that of not artificial
but one of natural
coming in the
form of lightning
while the myth goes
lightning powerful
would rob the eyesight
as my mother closed my eyes
during my younger days
a measure to save my eyes
that still lingers in my memory
forcing me to close the eyelids
as soon as I see a lightning
a habit that dies hard.
Is there any reason to believe so/
I know not what to say so
as the scientists have to answer
this frivolous question of mine
sounding very trivial and silly
but has a meaning great and valid.
A photographic mind
has a photo in mind
the details and features
all stored in the mind
need nothing else to record
be it the mind in accord
that brings in memories in a rush
with the slide show very interesting
as the slides come one by one
describing the nuances with specifics
well ,that be the cause of the mind
with a photography very sharp
calling it a fine memory
and a cruel one too
having not forgotten any strain
all being accumulated very fine
and acquired in course of time
brought in then and there
well, it is that all
craving to be a final conclusion.
Hate not anyone cries my soul
Lo! my mind always plays the foul
as it sends a silent growl
accompanied by a scorn and howl
finally the soul gets bowled
as the mind triumphs over in the toll
The controversy ranges so extensive
one that works out very intensive
where the mind rules out a flexibility
the spirit calls for an adjustment strategy
finally it is the mind that gains
as the spirit retreats in a deign.
The edge over the mind over the soul
being one of reason on the whole
where the soul being subjected to compassion
the mind overtakes in its action
finally it is the mind that holds the flag
as the soul is forced to get behind in a lag.
Write said my mother
when I was young
did I for my mother
with thoughts strung.
Write said my teacher
when I was in school
write did I for my teacher
with fear full.
Write said my Professor
when I was doing research
write did I for my Professor
with earnest search.
Write not now said my family
when I entered the wedlock
write not I for my family
with everything locked.
Write did I forget for my children
as I carried and raised them strong
write not I for my children
with a yearning long.
Write now bids my mind
as now I am free and released
write now for my mind
with a vigour unleashed.
The prying mind is never at rest
wanting to know about the rest
putting over other things far aside
goes about smelling stealthily in all sides
trying to extract from the deficiencies that prevail
intending to decimate the harmony that is in a veil
with a pleasure sadistic it works with a will
then intervenes with a cunning kill
scooping out the catch with a thrill
dissipating the peace and tranquillity that fills
releasing trouble and pandemonium on the way
relishing the chaos it has unleashed in the fray
it sits back with happiness and excitement in the end
having gained a lot in the intermediary trend
both of having destroyed the opponent cunningly
and having been rewarded with fortune seemingly
Well,
that be the mind’s inquisitiveness in full.
The mind is blowing
up and down
breaking the typical flowing
where the eyes frown
The heart is oscillating
to and fro
relatively very disturbing
while the head bows.
The body is aching
left and right
absolutely very nagging
as the legs remain straight.
The whole system is undergoing
a change and feel
exactly an antithesis in the moving
eliminating the steal
