The fields of pain

The fields of pain


Errors and faults in words and lines
letters like mistakes in wordless lines
sentences break losing harmony
revealing end of friendship forever.

When sense become hard and useless
when mind frets; truth unknown
“what a pain this human life
 a cursed fate to nibble the grief.”

Letters form the destined nests
the smouldering questions; purpose plain
The final dusk of sins of life
with bleeding thoughts in cranial nerves.

The merciless days and nights
the pathways devoid of travelers
the midnights which devour
the supper of silent truth.

The thoughts of starless night
the sights seen by pale days
the agony of waves to hug the shore
the ache of ocean for roar of waves.

Shivering, paining human life’s
unfulfilled aim and me
fell and rolled in sins and virtues
of lives and lives and lives.

I learnt that human life
is the oxygen of soul
I saw all the fourteen heavens
when sorrows ripped my mind.

Welcomed the sobs of aching heart
with affection and love
loved I the wounding grief so much
loved it ever and always

Grievances transmuted into tales 
termites eaten wasted words
in the meadows of pain I will
seed the hurting seeds again

Upon the threshold of distress’s hut 
which humans abhor ever
I will sit with wide open eyes
unaware of day and night.

“My dreams will be in my chest
as my helpers, as my friends
 the smolders glowing even in deluge
will sit with me there forever.”

I will sit on cloud nine
 seeing seedlings grow and yield
closing eyes I will weep unintended
while harvesting and gauging pain

I will clean the dripping tears
concealing from others
loved I the wounding grief so much
loved it ever and always.
Dear mother, the first letters of my life are
the fields of three harvests
the field of paining soul, the legacy,

the offering of my father.

The Sentry

The Sentry

Your bright eyes
remind me the clouds of dawn;
I fear your eyes no more
As they are now wet with love 

Darling, do not try to avoid
in a hurry for something
the peacock’s feather
which you guarded until now
and the soft, silky dawns.
Because,
on the trail of moonlight will be 
multitude of clouds
behind every day
will be murky nights

I do not want to see
the shadows of worry in your eyes
where stars shine and wane.
I do not want to see
In those eagar eyes
the fire of hatred.

It is my offering to you,
whose heart is wet with love,
the red flag
which I held in my heart
and the black flag
which is flying upon myself.

The ringing noise of
clock of moments
will one day tear off
the silence between us.

For the defeated who is dead,
the last rites will be done
by days and weeks and months and years
on withered, lifeless flowers.

To-day,
what I like is the smell of burning flesh
and the water of the stream
I stand guard alongwith moonlight
over half-burnt hill of corpses.
I laugh seeing the souls
who run away frightened of fire. 

When their sympathy will be
decreed as the eternal world
and freedom of tender birds
who desire to fly


Just know that
I am sitting as the friend and guard

of burning corpses.

The governance

The governance

They were the intestines
of the subjects,
which were looted
by the arms of corruption.

Price hike became
holes in skull and
fire in eyes.

Governance, a dagger
harder than Britain!
Together is despair
Daylight robberies!
Shackles facing
the future of our kids.

Your smiles with the dirty
faces of politicking; and
the governance filling only
your pots.
In the palaces
you fix only yourselves
as rocks inflexible
