The Tomb
The fascination invested all around
Beguiled and made our trust diverted
Made the air poisonous
The fascination invested all around
Hacked and made our breath infected
Humanity today on the verge of jeopardy
Can’t shake our hands, stand in front of
Not to kiss nor to exchange love and hug
Remain one from the other apart
An unseen danger more than a tiger shrouded all over
How calamitous the present civilization!
Children getting admired afar from their father, mother, near and dear ones
Wives from husbands, fathers from mothers,
Brothers from sisters, lovers from the beloveds
Oh! The poor, helpless body trembling in temperature
Lips and hearts
Water rolling down on cheeks
How hungry, the pathetic world!
What do you teach us, dear?
Moving towards the sky the journey of the tempered body
Looming out of the darkness
We all go through
But the trance appears to be larger
Fly over the open blue sky
Twinkling the stars.

The Sky at Noon
Suddenly the sky covered with darkness
Possibly it may rain very soon
The shady world focus a glimpse of light
The sky appeared to be whiter and at same time darker
Sparking and roaring with thundering
Birds are flying and chirping and in the nest taking their shelter
Over my head, so many petals and cottons
Walking as if it was a moonlit night
Soft as like as this
You held my hand and stepped out
We sat for enjoying the light.

In This Lockdown World
In this lockdown world
Deer and dogs comes out to the paths
The trees make sound of the spring breeze
Blooming flowers spreading sweet scents
Birds and butterflies with their colorful feathers
Enjoy the beauty with new sights and spirits
Infatuated in love in this new world
I see and come back to my work
From the very noon this garland made for you
Dear, how can I reach?
I know you are on the other side waiting for me.

My Bygone Pastime
Chemicals sprayed all over the fields
On the wheat seeds
At the evening when they came back
All the hens, cocks and ducks at a time got attacked
Made me stunned, thundered down
They are lying dead before my eyes
Feel offended I failed to take the right care
When all my poultries became empty
I only stared at the sky
They’re floating on the white-colored feathers
I see the ducks on the water
I see the hens and cocks on my yard
Still now after so many years
O my love, can I let you go?

How I am
How do you do?
It’s difficult to answer straight ‘fine’
My heart is losing, breaching and beating
Though no singing or beating the drums outside
You do, I do and certainly we do our daily walks of life
But the strength of mind the gig gag lights inside or outside
We really miss, an unknown fear hovers around
My brother is dying
My sister is dying
What is it flying around?
Bounds all to stay at home
How many more days should we stay
No one advances to make it out
Pains my heart
Listless to work
Can I say I am safe and sound?

I Stand Still
The sky seems to be deep and darker
A windy light peeps through
The leafs of the trees growing greener than yesterday
A silent breeze makes the leafs dance
The birds are flying here and there
Busy with the nestles in the nest to feed and care
I stand still
No storm or thundering to become worried
Softens the world day by day
My heart leaps up with joy
A heavy rainfall we may enjoy
The fields clothed with the green grasses
We can walk through all the way
The moon always smiles on.
