My mind

Posted on by Shama Sinha

My mind is continuously busy Percolating, churning fussy. Little it truly understands Shower reason through wand . Events come asper Your preplan its understanding to me is ban. My Present knocks too hard From attachment can’t part. moment  open new puzzles Quizzing emotion drizzles. I always want to talk it over Expected ears seem tightly shut. Except You there’s none around Questions numerous surround Into hearth it disappeared forever Heart with nervousness does sever I know not how to make way For solutions don’t come away. Lord will you not review all that this confusion always  call. Every moment seems … Continue reading »My mind

I know not

Posted on by Shama Sinha

Lying on bed and taking rest Is not what I would like to have Rather a path of action to brave Your grace ever abundantly pave. What’s there in your bag for me O krishna soon peep in  to tell me As years do score , life fatal be I wonder what will open for me? Can’t those days be returned again To move my limbs without a pain memory intact, logic reasons sane Courage on flight, fright on bane? O lord

My road to my right

Posted on by Shama Sinha

The only weapon in Mother’s arms I had Were tears and howls to make all feel bad My parents were irritated and very sad To calm me down ,tactfully tricks they tried ! Milk and water was all they would offer, While I watched, their plate with pizza savour! This was enough for my anger to tower! Gradually some cereals rested on my platter. With less salt and sugar taste wasn’t “chater pater!” Annoying still when glasses of milk got fewer! My growth was good, I toddler with support. With smell,I could delicacies on table sort! Reached for bowls on … Continue reading »My road to my right

“Pearls of compassion “

Posted on by Shama Sinha

Why is there always a complaint,”I am hurt!” When except you and me,there’s no third? We are the closest yet we forget that to see! Your perceptions are as true,as my thoughts and me!” Let’s start once again anew, moredetermined ! Leaving behind old obstacles that thwarted! Let past no more remain in our pleasant present ! Let’s both accept and console what we lament! “Breathe compassion forcefully into clouded sky! Get drenched in their soothing rains as we fly!”

A Tryst with the SUN

Posted on by Shama Sinha

Fast, I saw him,spreading his mighty trace. And called him aloud as he smeared red rays. “Don’t you ever feel lonely in that big wide space? I see no company treading with at your pace! Your schedule is strange, peculiar is Your ways! You move not with planets, they dance on your play “ “Is it so?”He gaped at me blinking in surprise . But I never felt like what you today surmise ! O,my friend, I never was alone, nor will I ever be! Perhaps you see not that power stably holding me! All my shine, the prosperity on … Continue reading »A Tryst with the SUN

“Words of the winged!”

Posted on by Shama Sinha

Night waned, mirthful sky raised another curtain,Surprised I was as entered the divine Sun!A tiny dot popped up when I gazed intently,Darkness still ruled and rosy rays creept secretly!River rippled quietly,mountains shone graceful ,Leaves rustled soft among branches cheerful!Birds bobbed their heads to select a direction,Up they took a flight,marking a celebration!“It rises every morning,what makes it so special ?”Many crossed overhead regailing a chirpy mail,“We’re breathing!O,we’re flying! isn’t it a festival !” I looked in awe and wished,”If with them I could sail!” (Original; written by self.)Shama sinha 3-1-24

Ever Indebted

Posted on by Shama Sinha

“EVER INDEBTED” Should I thankyou, O Krishna Or curse my foolish stamina On spur,a sudden wish to drive On practice of only days five Confident as ever turning keys I started Eyes didn’t see where foot darted Lack efficiency,misnomer of capacity I turned the gear and excellator blindly ! Lo,the car ahead rushed extremely fast There upon three on skooty put me aghast! Some power stood that turned vehicle right Car bumped against the rocky platform on side, Hitting another car parked on site Somehow it stopped , vanishing my sprite. Mama came out ,so did others from house Apologising … Continue reading »Ever Indebted

“PRELUDE TO DAWN”

Posted on by Shama Sinha

I woke up early morning today Saw stars on Sky clear joyous sway they twinkled bright, numerous in a tray The half moon looked quizzing in a way , And asked why you woke up so early?” I said “ Though it’s for this fast religiously! Never knew this hour was so lovely!” The air so calm,the hour’s invite quiet, It’s 4 o’ clock, and there’s no Sunlight Silence spread ,all early birds so quiet, As if planning for their work day’s flight!” Still standing trees do quietly observe, Blessed by His touch as they deserve! Blooms and blossoms ,one … Continue reading »“PRELUDE TO DAWN”

“SOLICITOR FRIEND”

Posted on by Shama Sinha

wonder ever this change in me Loss of courage,wherefore is the key Definitely there there were hesitations No new step gave me relaxation Yet there was a calm all over A quiet strong was the cover You and your strength took care Everything around me was bare Problems that rose to frighten Your presence safely did siphon Each trip ws tasked heavily Yet your powers completed it safely Stranded in maze I ever stood But your powers like pillars would Carves a safety for me in all fire That is why I look towards you, Sire! How long this ship’s … Continue reading »“SOLICITOR FRIEND”
