A Reverie.......

(c) Shilpa Sandesh



Striding midst the highlands,
Partially brown, inadequately green,
Elsewhere from the material glitters,
Fictitious pomp and sheen;

A radiant facet,
Of a world in The world,
Like a midget island,
Betwixt the profane worldly ocean's whirls;

A beauteous bird, spreading its wings,
Unperturbed by what tomorrow may bring,
Can I be that gliding crane?
Unbothered by all the pain;

The creation is dwelling with sins,
Concocted and brimful with feign,
All that would be and that has been,
Persistence and forbearance are in vain;

Recovering from the contemplation,
A communion with a world,
Of verisimilitude and truth,
A figment of my imagination;
Retreating the walk,
In the lush greens,
I wonder,
If ever the dreams would be true,
Or truth would forever,
Linger in the dreams!

A musing, a hope,
A wish to unwind,
Does it dwell in me alone?
Or does it perch in every mind?

The Feet in Blood !

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Her gaze is set, At the wide spread ahead, Lights glimmer, Racing motors on the road, And noises undefined, From far away; But no landscape can collate, With the bruised patches, in her heart; No motors are at par, With the speed of her hastening thoughts, And no clangor as loud, As the shrieks of her caged soul; Blaming is like, Plucking the petals,  of a blossoming flower, To take the blames, Is like being pushed, To walk bare foot on thorns; It's a puzzle, it's a jumble, Her inner self is, Disarrayed, cluttered,  It's a muddle; Those moments are no more, When she was, Besotting to his eyes; When her tears made his eyes wet, When seeing her in pain, His heart ached; She is a reflection, Of the fate's rebound, In the broken mirror; She walks, On the scattered glasses, And Oh! My feet are in blood!

A Puppet

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Born a free soul, With wings to fly, Bound she stands, Entwined in compromises Tethered are her hands with the strings of liabilities, Muddled are her steps, in the lashes of limits and boundaries; She loved once , with all her heart, The tenderness and fondness, that's doomed today; She smiles when she's sad, And cries when happy; The tiny wonder, Is her sole sustenance, All that she has won, as the fruit of love; An emotional fool, And destiny's blunder, She calls herself, The hell's wonder; She craves for that warmth, that unconditional love, A whim for those vows, a desire for that embrace, And, In the hands of time, A puppet she is, In the fate's haze!

My Brave Knight

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Handsome and pleasing, Like some prince, In a lore, A striking sight, He's my brave knight; Sanguine and certain, Commanding and sturdy, furious yet calm, Like the glistening sun, And the stars so bright, He's my brave knight; A warm embrace, A gentle heart, Resolute and steadfast, Aiming the dart, With a scrupulous sight, He's my brave knight; Audacious and fearless, Valiant in the stormy winds, And the winter's chill, The searing sun, Or the rainy nights, He dauntlessly steps forth, Heroic he is, He's my brave knight.
