MADHU JAISWAL

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Above and beyond,

The vast sea

The azure sky.

How they try

to meet

at the end of horizon!

The blowing breeze

Loud whispers

Intense talks

Unbiased signatories

The panoramic hue

Momentarily takes over

Heart and mind

The lone boat

Moving with the flow

Striving hard

to seize the scurry

The ember colour

stakes over

The ebb and flow

Pondering deep

Rumbling heart,

remains deprived.

The ruffling sea waves

seems baffled too

As if in agitation

both keep crashing

against the walls

of heart and sea shore!

AN ODE TO MOTHER

Oh! mother there's none like you,

The torment and pain that you bear during labour,

can anyone else go through and sustain life as you do!

You get joyous, discarding the pain

as soon as thy hold the child in your loving embrace

A beautiful creator thou are,

Creating the most beautiful sculpture ever

The craftsmen of blood and flesh

To brace life to the new-born.

Offers herself sustainably.

devoid of any fatigue or curb

depriving self with unending sleepless nights

Taking care

doing the duties

feeding

cleaning

playing and asserting.

Yes, thy child is the most beautiful of all.

She teaches

she deploys

various moral virtues .

to the apple of her eyes.

trying high

she do imply,

and raise a virtuous child

in the world of eccentric attributes.

That which changes colour, with every passing time !

DEAR DURGA

Dear Durga give us a boon to be the fire,

not to be an abla nari and sheepish anymore.

Having the courage to speak profusely

and stand against the injustices done.

Giving a tight slap, punching or kicking hard,

having the vigour to blow up the maniacs self.

To be Shakti the daring rebel!

Who doesn't choose a date in times ahead,

instead she have the courage to revolt instant,

silencing the evil on the spot!
