It is Mother’s Day
a day which I never knew.
In our days all days
revolved round the mother
no special day for her
we were part of her
she taught us all
expected nothing from us in return
we did also never gave anything to her
the days were marked by love
affection was the main feature
while discipline and control got in stealthily
there was perfect equilibrium all through
that being so in a way
there was no time to celebrate Mother’s Day
Mothers were always there
if
only we forget them
we should try to remember them
we never forgot their presence
so we never wished her on a particular day,

The Hands Tell A Tale
The First Cry Of Life
A baby being born
a new life is switched on
there be a cry lasting long
that be the sign of life with a belong.
The cry otherwise not heard
signals a consequence dire in the stead
that be not everything alright
there be an anomaly in sight.
Crying turns out to be a significance
which ordinarily calls for a weakness
that reflecting a sadness and apprehension
being an outcome of strain and tension.
The baby’s first cry spreads joy
the mother looking at the boy
beaming with pride and achievement
that of begetting a child with nourishment.
The baby then sleeps cosily
attended to with great care and easily
as the timely feeds by the mother
proves sufficient appeasing his hunger.
The first cry being really important
as the sound becoming pertinent
representing the evolution of life
also implying the boy’s future strife.
Mother’s Song
Singing to her baby
a lullaby they say
she sings not from prescribed verse
makes her own song spontaneously
loads them with her feelings
adds her love to the baby
tells how she brought him into the world
speaks of her pains and aches
how she finally gave birth to the little one
a lovely expression set to no musical tune
accompanied by no beat or rhythm
touches the heart of the listener
putting the babe to a sound sleep
the song, no lullaby, tells a lot
a different song with a distinctive tune
The Bundle Of Joy
The little boy being unruly
screaming with joy
seemingly a loving act
mumbling with discomfort
indicating a sign of uneasiness
going by his shrieks and cries
every acti
on of him be a play
delighting all around with cheer
being a mother of such a boy
always on toes with a vigour
making a move fast with a rigour
beyond any cope up and posing a stress
proves hard and bothersome
at times gets beyond control
she losing her sleep and rest
not careful in her schedules
falling down in exasperation
wishing someone could handle him
if being offered to take up
reluctant to share with others
feeling the little boy mischievous
being her own bundle of joy.
Those Who Create.
The brush which paints
knows not its work.
it being a silent spectator
doing that it has to do
rather aiding the one who does.
Being that in truth
that which one helps
or that one which is used
can never stake claim
over the accomplishment.
Not understanding the creativity
the helpers and the facilitator
try to assume the fame with a pride
there by ignoring the creator
who endeavoured to finish it beautiful.
This goes to all the creations
be it in art or architecture
be it in the making of man
the hand of the doer is invisible
those who pt forward gamble not ordinary.
The mother who carries the child
brings him up with love
certainly not owns the child
being appointed to make him into a man
with that her responsibility gets over.
She is akin to a brush , pen
similar to a carrier
never the craftsman or sculptor
who works hard to create
never she could aspire to be so.
The Spellbound Eloquence
The Girl Hiding Behind The Mother
Hiding behind her mother
the little girl peeped out
while coming out now and then
winked at me for sure.
Her mother was talking to me serious
I could not cope with her
sobriety
my eyes were on the little one
longing to have a glimpse now and then.
As she winked in the intervals
I winked back wiith a grin
she giggled and hid behind
the scene went on for long.
The mother not knowing what was happening
went along with her narration
hoping that i would listen
did not stop in between.
With my attention on the girl
heard nothing of her mother’s tale
when the mother completed her story
I was nowhere in the midst.
The mother asked me few questions
trusting I would give an answer
I, knowing not what was told
blinked and mumbled something.
The mother got offended
walked away dragging the little one
the girl turned and gave another wink
winking back I sat satisfied.
The Motherly Instinct.
The mother in all of us
the kindness found in us
the great quality of all of us
where compassion gets the strong
The facets are too many in the sphere
that being romantic, filial and erotic too
the most illustrious being the motherly
that finds itself in a glow and a gleam
with expressions of tenderness and care.
The eyes that reflect the profundity
emit the spark of impassionate love
the very look renders an embrace
registering a soul lifting exaltation
that is unfathomable and immeasurable.
The Baby In The Cradle.
The baby was sleeping
fast asleep on the cradle
she being all alone
the mother being in office
not away but at home
she slept still for a time
having woken up
she crooned softly
smiled to herself
played with her legs
getting amused at everything
that came around her
so speaking she was happy.
that being for long
she felt hungry
finding none were around
she cried slowly
then with all her might
as none could hear her
she sobbed and sobbed
went back to sleep once more
