TRANSMISSION TRANSCENDS

Whispering words, on the screen of my laptop

Talk, giggle, tickle, laugh, sing

Some time weep like weeping trees

Words like tears fall as if drops from leaves

After showers or after night with morning dew.

As keys under my fingertips

Steadily or with quivers click clik clik.

Who says they don't effect

They effect really when spoken

With love or scorn - with like and dislike

Words of love make us smile and shine

A rose face appears when words call

Petals trembling with utter emotional surge

And urge to respond the click of vibrant emotions

They produce musical sounds when they sound the notes.

I send and receive echo of passionate hearts

Hearts falling on screen like rose-red heart icon

Seeking rise like waves in stream rising or falling

Either taking along with as if hand in hand

Or drown in the deep of uncertain jab of words

At war or in peace ,in quarrel or in compromise

Flying like birds across distances and boundaries

Far away like rays the ride on electronic winds

Trust and mistrust lock their horns to displace.

Who says words don't effect,they effect

Bring war and peace-bring love and hate

Happy we feel when some words become fragrance

Just as I see a Rose smiling away from away

I feel fragrance from far away no thorn hinders

Sometimes the words bring rain without rain

And we become emotional too feel and reel

Some times a sudden rush of words of feelings

Connect and become moon and sun to embrace

Even from far away.

Or words become bees like humming before tick of a lick.

And emerge to merge to lose into eternal Truth .

WHY, WHY, WHY

Treachery is roaming about

Vulturous and virulent eyes glare

Don't know from where death strikes

Moments before where kids danced

Skipping ropes vibrates with laughter

In arms of romance smiles exchanged

Flowery colors flew in air in waves

All merry making as in funfair.

Now there we see scattered bodies

Bleeding limbs, tissues and bones

Looking at onlookers with awe

Asking who disintegrated all present.

Who has called vultures

We see circling around overhead

Waiting to tear the remains.

Cries are high in air

Voices have turned into screams

Cheers into sobs,

Why, Why, Why this vision of terror

We are forced to see while weeping.

PAIN

Pain plays very important role

To be humane to console

With experience in the vein

To hold the noble rein

Shows us how it is horrible

And asks us to be noble

Feelings to act it creates

Wires of goodness vibrates

Moves us for a cause

Waits for your because.

Demon of pain when crawls

It roles the stressful balls

Every trembling vein does say

Play what part we can play

To fight with might for cause

Down demon of because!!!!

Hey, apply Love as balm

To make the sufferings calm!!!!

MOTHER EARTH NATURE

O, Mother

You gave me birth

Fed me by your blood

Fed me by your breasts

Cradled me in your arms

Taught me stand on my feet

Taught me walking

By holding my arms and hands

Taught me love by caressing me

Taught me how to protect

Against changing weather

You cried to see me in pain,

Tickled me to make me laugh

Taught me to respect father

Whom you loved to be my father.

Mother, you are not only mother

Who fed me putting morsels in my mouth

Who nursed me with nursing hands

You are like Mother Earth

Who roots trees deep to stand firm footed

And teaches to fight against storms.

You are mother,earth and Nature

As what I am today is all due to you

I salute you, O, my mother.

As Mother Earth, as Mother Nature.
