SONGS OF CHILIKA LAKE


Over the Chilika Lake, and
Boarded in a train,
On the way to home,
I am passing by the Lake,
To get soil, grain or a doll,
Or to find loved one.

Two boats through waters
Oh! How beautiful it is
In the autumn morning,
Blue sky, sparkling sun-light
On surface of water, I go,
Jingling with childhood days.

Over the Chilika Lake, and
Through morning delight,
I never thought of wood
To draw a curtain over
My journey, certain hope
I know holds the wind.

Over the Chilika Lake, and
Through the fishermen’s dream,
I can move to get fortune,
That may play a role
As far as I can stay on this earth,
This earth holds the birthright.

Over the Chilika Lake, and
Through the smile of sympathy,
As I have grown up old,
I am searching for loving faces
Of those who can drape me
With love and let me not to wait.

Over the Chilika Lake and
Through the colors above water,
I feel fascination with loud wows,
No blur, sharp focus, luck and elegance,
I will say, my love,
Don’t quit joy, let me enjoy.

DEWALI IS AN ARGUMENT OF LIGHT


One who is not a poet is a poet,
Diwali, night, darkness, light -
Simple likeness over darkness is
Whispers of dryness of illumination.

Life is whisper, light is a break and beginning
Of prize that keeps things shaped in life,
With time, events and manifestation of
Purpose, known or unknown, brings  

To receive colors of night to burn in
Illumination, above darkness behind shadows,
Lineage of truth that evolves breaks
In the night, creating morning, inside.

A rose cannot argue, glamour of light can do it.
