REFUTING

********

 In the evening

Under cover of mounds 

The Sun is perplexed 

Due to pin drop silence


Trees are lethargic

Crops are withering

Till far away

Deserted pathways.


Paint-brush has dried, canvas is gloomy

All the images, disappeared today.

In the Dark Corner

  In the Dark Corner  ****************** Away from hustle bustle of  picnic spot, a ripe-aged man was standing in a dark corner of park, was taking puffs of cigarette.

The old man replied that he was smoking in that dark corner of the park, because he did not want to be observed by his son.  Abruptly, he observed that young man, too, was holding cigarette in his hand and was about to take puff.

These are the feet That carry burden of  Their wounded aspirations, These infuse with self-confidence  Their stagnant life Fill their dumbly present sitting on borderline  With future moving ahead with time. These are the feet winged with Wings of their aspirations. They ...

KANCHANJUNGA USHERED ***************************** I asked clouds, fog, smoky dust They said  You don't own any part of sky, Birbhadra! I asked high mountains , too They said You don't own any surface, Birbhadra! It is very true that  I don't own any house, any palace, Sir. Not even shambles I merely own a hut In which dwells my mother Once, narrating my story to Kanchanjangha I pleaded Blessing me, she said Calm down, Birbhadra! Observe patience Don't narrate this story to  Anybody else than me Listening to it Neither snow, nor Himalaya will melt Even huge stones can melt, but When stones melt You will suffer more pain Than me, Birbhadra ! After listening to her Caves dwelling in me  Are constantly waiting For soft sunlight You blame me that I am greedy This name has been defamed always Tell me, of what use will  This name be. To you.
