RAJESH KUMAR



RAJESH KUMAR

OUR BROKENNESS

We broke ourselves,
Ourselves completely broken,
How will it heal,
Conceal or reconcile into its union,
Its union has shattered into parts,
Parts broken into pieces,
Pieces into pieces leaving without any peace.

We love each other
But love broken into remorse,
The joy of love gone away,
And storms of sorrow we pass by every day,
Everyday a day to live without the other,
A sense of loss, a loss of feelings,
Feelings made life miserable.

At last, love no more left,
Left only with a broken heart,
A broken heart with its brokenness,
No hope to cope up with its brokenness,
But broken, only love could heal its brokenness.







LOVE A FLYING BIRD

Feeling love, flying in air,
Flying within and out with wings,
A bird in the heart,
Keeps pestering for the one,
The one for which the heart
Has become prey,
It prays for the other one,
Other one has bypassed the passage of heart.

Heart, left in the heartless state,
State of heart can’t be depicted by art.
Art falls short,
Heart stronger than art,
Emotions it feels,
And leaves the heart in the state of suffering.

The bird’s consciousness,
Makes the mind mindless,
Mindlessness can’t tackle,
And the flying bird finds no rest,
Its rest is destruction and dissolution,
For which there is no solution.







A POEM IN THE MAKING

The beauty of poem lies in expression,
Expression of thought into words,
Words form idea in the poem,
Idea structured into lines,
Lines link the idea,
Idea moves as images
Images form picture of idea.

Symbols are words,
Words deeper in meanings,
Meanings multiple in interpretation,
A text produced in a context,
Context reproduces text,
Text makes meanings,
Meanings producing instruments.
A poem forms life in its source,
There is no life in its source,
Source born of art,
Art sources life in a poem,
A poem, every poem begins with a question,
It ends without an answer
Its end questions every question.
