जो बीत गई सो बात गई


Harivansh
जो बीत गई सो बात गई
जीवन में एक सितारा था
माना वह बेहद प्यारा था
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया
अम्बर के आनन को देखो
कितने इसके तारे टूटे
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे
जो छूट गए फिर कहाँ मिले
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अम्बर शोक मनाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम
थे उसपर नित्य निछावर तुम
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया
मधुवन की छाती को देखो
सूखी कितनी इसकी कलियाँ
मुर्झाई कितनी वल्लरियाँ
जो मुर्झाई फिर कहाँ खिली
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुवन शोर मचाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

जीवन में मधु का प्याला था
तुमने तन मन दे डाला था
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया
मदिरालय का आँगन देखो
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं
जो गिरते हैं कब उठतें हैं
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई

मृदु मिटटी के हैं बने हुए
मधु घट फूटा ही करते हैं
लघु जीवन लेकर आए हैं
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं
फिर भी मदिरालय के अन्दर
मधु के घट हैं मधु प्याले हैं
जो मादकता के मारे हैं
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट प्यालों पर
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है चिल्लाता है
जो बीत गई सो बात गई।।

A Cup of Tea - that I never had!

After almost sleeping for the whole day, this evening, I woke up in a very good mood.
It was a little chilly, so I thought of treating myself with some tea. 

With the thought, I went downstairs and brought a cup of ginger tea. 
Placed her nicely on the bed and headed towards cupboard to fetch some snacks. 
Got myself some kaaju biscuits and namkeen and settled down to enjoy my little tea time. 

After dipping the biscuit, when I was about to take the first bite, 
my feet touched her (the cup of tea) gently, and unable to hold the pressure, there she went.... plopping down!

My lovely bed sheet and my poor leg were the ones who were worst hit!
Though my laptop and mobile seemed to have enjoyed the taste of it!!
Because, soon after the incident, the laptop started playing music and mobile started ringing..
And left with no option but the mess, I started cleaning..!!

Helter-Skelter

It’s mid November, the sky is mostly covered with clouds which restrict the path of sun rays…clearly stating the beginning of ‘Winters’. Sitting on my desk, recollecting, I so remember how I started writing in last winters, pouring out my thoughts and inditing a poem with it. It’s the same time of year and here I am again captivated by thoughts, unaware of the ways to enunciate.

A season of cozying up, a season of love’s
A season of thoughts, a season of gloves
I am just piling up my random thoughts
There are still left questions to which answers I sought
You need not always make sense
I wanna go on shopping at your expense
Its cold, let me sneak inside the quilt
And doze off to dreams, where lies my castle still unbuilt..!!

Who says winters are dark...
Who says winters are mousy!
It’s a lively season; you just need to open your horizon..

Uh... you still reading it?
Okay! am off to get a banana split..!!


P.S.
Dear fellas, don't try to search for any meaning in the above..
Or u may end up tearing ur hairs apart ;-)
And the unanswered questions has strict relevance with ma exams..LoL :-)

Schism - 'The conflict within'

Struggling with myself
the two sides inside me 
fighting to get out the beast in me
probity lost in the due course
my voice became hoarse!

Thinking about the people around
my heart cried of the wound
family n friends are not just for name
life without them is lame..

Your dear ones hurt you
but you still care for them
they break your heart
and you build their dreams..

Fighting of the good n bad 
struggles of the happy n sad
abide in me, feelings ride over me..

Inner self confide, thoughts reside 
eyes cried like that of  bride's...
tide of feelings rose high
as the horizons widened to meet sky!

The differences are profound
silence wins over sound...

tussle within tosses
good wins and good losses
the conflict now ceases!!

Utter Witter!

ever hearken the silence of sea
ever peeked into the depth of ocean
ever sniffed the fresh tea
ever felt the underneath emotion
ever tasted the blues of life
ever consoled a broken soul
ever held someone's hand in greif
ever took a midnight stroll
ever whiffed the aroma of wet mud
ever caressed the blooming bud
ever notioned the vastness of sky
ever fell for the innocence of a child
ever did a silent cry
ever got all mad and wild
ever indite the poem of love
ever saw the kissing doves
ever hugged the one in pain 
ever smiled with bleeding heart 
ever ran with the speeding train
ever admired the nature's art
"ever did you" is the question
ever made the secret confession!!

Un rêve!

Standing on the edge of valley 
looking at the grass-caped mountain..
cool breeze swirled me like a lover and
gently caressed me..


Feeling of that touch shivered me
as i opened my arms to sense freedom...

Bewildered with the beauty of dew kissed earth
a tear rolled down my cheek!

The chilly winds beseeched my heart
and implored to explore my whimsical being..

Am i afraid of the thing as it is 
or am afraid  of what i think..

My eyes gazing at the view 
as whispering butterflies flew...
rainbow ribbons dancing in sky
seeing that gave me a high...

As i inhaled the fresh air
my dream broke with glimpse of a stare!

I lay on my bed 
Waiting to fall asleep again...
left with nothing but the thought
"Dreams take me to another place and time
where my life has reason and smile..!!"
