GIST OF FLEETING MEMORIES

A Lotus blooms

on the sediment of memories.

An old man is the real owner

of those golden stories.

By remembering those glimpse

he goes past.

Where -

He laughs.

He weeps.

He plays.

He runs fast.

With each wrinkle

of upcoming waves of time.

We'll too reach there

with melodious rhyme.

But a soreness among inner peace

which we've felt.

A shiver silence

which can't be melt.

A gust of wind

changes the direction of our thought.

Though, the sensibilities among us exist.

Yet, our attitude of viewing the life is rot.

Here, I would like

to stop my muse.

Let's decide, which the path

you need to choose.

Till then, take care

of those soft petals red.

Otherwise,

it may soon fade.____Durgesh Verma

THE REVERIE

I flow in the reverie and

collide with ashore.

I scatter in infinitive drops and

connecting myself for flow.

I vaporize myself

to touch the cosmic heights.

With a huge discharge of lighting

I create thundering clouds.

I'm from the womb

of mother Earth.

Who always convenes me

to come onto her lap.

I'm grateful to get her

great affection.

So, with the drops of rain

I come back to make her evergreen again.____Durgesh Verma

AN ENDLESS HAPPINESS

Preserve your past

and live in the present.

Believe in your presence

and never remain in absence.

Be alive in those moments

which make you laugh.

See the innocent nature

of a softy calf –

It shakes tail

to and fro.

At the time of drinking milk

from the mother- cow.

See the eagerness

of a baby chirp -

As it welcomes dawn

by flapping its wings.

The Moon appears

in the foggy night

by wearing the dress

of silvery white.

Twinkling stars

of surmise suddenly vanish.

We can hear morning prayers

in Hindi, English and Danish.

In the joy of filling nectar

in bee-hives.

I'm sowing flowering seeds

which can rise high in the sky.____Durgesh Verma
