Song of Ecstacy

A cup of tea steaming nearby
The early sun touching the still drowsy eyes
And the wet feet, with the caressing arms of warmth,
Chirping birds..everywhere...
Their attempt to stage the sweet chorus,
The silent, standby greenery, not speaking a word
-an ancient companion,
All stimulates the sleeping spirit to wake up n smile
Who can stop the ecstasy,
Once the soul knows how to sing.

Cohesive Spirits

The water body
Singing through continuous ripples
Standing nearby
The mountain listens to it silently..
Ancient stretch of sand mumurs
As the unseen hand of air touches it.

This vast scenario-
Though have different names,
Is a 'communion of spirits'
Who listen to each other
Talks to each other
Through light
And in darkness,
Are always in 'cohesion'

Anyanama

Akhire akhire jamijae luha emiti
Jhari jae kala akhi pata dei
Smruti ra darpana ku maji maji..

Tume bujhi bujhiba bhabi jhari jae
Hele na thae sambala tara nai tie hei bahi jibaku
Sagara re misibaku
Khali emiti jhari jae "Sagara Srusti" ra akankshya nei
Takia pare takia bhijei!

Mana bujhi bujhe na
Mriyamaanata ra anyanam hue ta :Lotaka
Tuma pakhare hari jiba hin :samarpana!

Tathaapi mriyamanaata ra parisima tale minji minji dise drudhata!
Ichha hue sabu luha pochhi dei
Dhaain jaanti, Tuma hata dhari ali karanti
Heera nila kaapa, Nilamabari paata,
Laali ranga kichhi ani deba pain
Etharaka Bali Jatra re.

Kintu kana hue
Se drudhatara se asha ra kan hue
Nischala maru re, ajana balistupa tale poti hoi jae
Digbhrashta banika ra hada kei khana pari..

Kalpana re kalpana re asa Tume
Bujhaya-Devi mora, kandani ete au
Mu tuni pade, pila ma thana paila pari
Ah, Tumaku kalpi bare ji ki sukha thae
Bhabe emiti alpa bahut kalpana mapi mapi
Bahut kichhi pai jibi boli

Puni kebe bhabe,
Bichheda ra anyanama hueta: Prema
Aur Jeebana ra anyanama : Jayant

Kumbhaara mora,
Tume kahun janiba,
Chaka tale Tuma menchae Mati Mu,
Khali dali hei rahi jae
Suna ra para mora, dharashayi, lunthita,
Luha sabu jali jae, angara tale kebe
Kebe kakara pilati jae Tori agana re
Swapna ra sahara,
Etharu anek anek dura,
kuhudi tale jhapsa dise kebe,
Kebe haji jae...

Ratnam Pakshi: A Bird with tidings!

Saw Your Ratnam Pakshi now.
 Dear,
 Tried to photograph it. Couldn't. As it is so shy.....
 It iis still sitting there...
 Carrying an auspicious sign...
 Each time i see it
 It changes its place
 But is in the same tree...
 Jumping bough to bough
 Sniffing each fragrant leaf...
 Listen...
 It has started its song now
 A long trailing omph..omph...omph...
 As if it says-
 Happy Friendship day dear!
 And the bird"s call has been answered...
 The lady Ratnam has arrived just now...
 Its a small one..
 They are sitting apart...
 Sometimes chasing each other...
 From branch to branch...
 God's Divine Leela!
 S/He is becoming male
 S/He is becoming female
 Creating Love n Friendship

~Batabanaa Batoi

Kaatar gathri dukha ra,

Thakaa man,

khyata bikhyata padapat,

e sabu ra punji nei-

kahin jaun batoi...

ki sandhane aba...?

ho kale kehi nahi,

ka kahile kehi nahi...

agare kehi nahi pachhare kehi nahi

ukuluthiba koha ra bata-paaunaa,

kharcha karibaku bajara kahin?

kahin Tu jau Batoi eka eka

mapibaku nija chhai ra dirghataa?

na, e lamba patha?

jai mishe dhalanti surya ra deshe?

Tu aba nimantrita atithi sethaa ra?

na? tebe bina amantrane jauchhu kuade?

~Batabanaa Batoi

Wo nahi dekhta

woh kehta hai mar dunga

aur mai has has ke ake khadi ho jati hun

upar  ko hasi rahti hai

bhitar muhn sukha jata hai

hasi ki powder laga ke ati hun

aur kathgade pe khada karta hai

ye wo karta hai

hamesha se

dosh uska ho

mera ho

kisika bhi na ho

kathgade pew o mujhe khada karta hai

ye uska khel hai

fir kahta hai mar dunga

aur mai sochti hun

jarur majak kar raha hoga

aur mai bekal hoke intejaar karti hun

kiabke baar to wo mera masoom chehra dekh lega

mere ankhon me chhupa ashu dekh lega

taras khayega

keise nahi usko mujhpe daya na ayega

sathi hai who mera

par har baar ki tarha

uski talwar girta hai

aur mere garden katti hai

apne hi Sathi ke samne har baar hasne ka abhinay

aur dard nahi hai ka bahana

sina mot karke khade rahna

ajnabi banne ka dawa uska

dukh de jata hai

dard chhura chaku talwar banke girta hai

mere masoom sa kaleje pe

jahan who rahta hai…

har baar sochti hun

sayad wo is baar dekh lega ki

haste hue meine sina khol to diya hai

par mera muhn sukh gaya hai man ki taap se
