But not alone

You are single but not alone
You have stood firm but not gone
Not wild but rose pink flower
The ran dropp only take care and shower

He did not think before sending you
You have extra ordinarily proved true
He did not find suitable alternative
Your were not choosey or selective

He put everything in one art form
You were hastily planned and born
His highness of big kingdom was his mind
He assigned the job for Hasmukh to find

He forgot to convey message to this earthly man
Jihan meanwhile grew to the full status of woman
Her charm spread all over the globe
Frantic search was on and needed no probe

By name

I am called Hasmukh* by name
Exactly to be understood as smiling man and to claim
I feel no shy in explaining self to all
As many friends ask and make frequent calls

Why you are not named crying person?
Some friends jokingly asked for reasons
"No, parents decided it" I used to answer
They were my custodian and after all mentor

There is tradition to name a child with meaningful name
Some times they may be so funny and exactly opposite to claim
Child may be named as chand*(moon) but to be as dark as black
Some people may call him as dark night and cut a simple joke

Some parents may be really poor but keep name as Sukhi*(happy)
In fact they may have no meals to eat and living in misery
Yet it is strange to name every child with good bearing
It is done with all fun fare and without cause of worrying

Peace ambassador

"Why are you smiling always? "
"What are the secrets and ways? "
I have no trademark or special key
I think of the same and always pray almighty

I have been named by parents
As is the tradition with some consent
Those babies are to be named after
For the identification and laughter

Babies are after al heavenly gift
Suddenly you find attitudinal change or shift
In a man or in entire family
They forget pain even easily

If they are made brand ambassadors
Half of the battles may be won with honor
There won't be any bitterness or bloodshed
As world is likely to be happily led

Trying Hard

i
I am not a poet, I'm certainly not
I am not like Denise Bekker, though she is my type.
Definitely, I can't be like Dr. Subhendu Kar
a brilliant writer full of love.
But I dream to be like Hasmukh Amathalal
Whose works for me are all five stars
I can't be like them, I'm just a copy cat.
ii
Who am I to be a poet?
I could do no brilliant pieces
English and writing are my weaknesses.
The truth is, with English I've never been clever
I rather close my mouth, lending an ear is better
Than to open my lips and be laughed by many
Is it not so funny? I am no one, but to dream is free.
iii
How can I create a better piece?
Most of the time I run out of words and I can't think
Of flowery words and metaphors that fit.

CRYSTAL GLOW

Madhur Veena Comment: Who is she? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ....You write good!

Margaret Alice Comment: Beautiful, it stikes as heartfelt words and touches the heart, beautiful sentiments, sorry, I repeat myself, but I am delighted. Your poem is like the trinkets I collect to adorn my personal space, pure joy to read, wonderful! Only a beautiful mind can harbour such sentiments, you have a beautiful mind. I am glad you have found someone that inspires you to such heights and that you share it with us, you make the world a mroe wonderful place.

Margaret Alice Comment: Within the context set by the previous poem, “Cosmic Probe”, the description of a lover’s adoration for his beloved becomes a universal ode sung to the abstract values of love, joy and hope personified by light, colours, fragrance and beauty, qualities the poet assigns to his beloved, thus elevating her to the status of an uplifting force because she brings all these qualities to his attention. The poet recognises that these personified values brings him fulfilment and chose the image of a love relationship to illustrate how this comes about; thus a love poem becomes the vehicle to convey spiritual epiphany.

FRAGRANT JASMINE

Margaret Alice Comment: Your words seem to be directed to a divine entity, you seem to be addressing your adoration to a divinity, and it is wonderful to read of such sublime sentiments kindled in a human soul. Mankind is always lifted up by their vision and awareness of divinity, thank you for such pure, clear diction and sharing your awareness of the sublime with us, you have uplifted me so much by this vision you have created!

Margaret Alice Comment: The poet’s words seem to be directed to a divine entity, express adoration to a divinity who is the personification of wonderful qualities which awakens a sense of the sublime in the human soul. An uplifting vision and awareness of uplifting qualities of innocence represented by a beautiful person.

Shy and shame

I am hasmukh by name
But still feel shy and shame
Offer very good smile
To live and love little while

Not all may understand
I feel lonely and stand
No friends no relatives or accomplice
No one to praise and offer promise

People are relaxed when visit me
They feel fresh and very much free
I make them burst in laughter
They realize only when come in after

I offer no medicine
I have no ready made vaccine
I know I can grow vegetables in famine
I know how to make friends and consider them mine

More About Me

I wish to write more about me
With colorful desires sitting under tree
My thought may be set and allowed to flee
Find some one of my choice and see

I wish not to live.
But nobody may believe
Human beings are not only selfish
But make end also fine finish

Ask even dying man
He will ask for beautiful woman
He will have still left some wishes
Even though his body may soon be reduced to ashes

Some of the life aspects really astonish
It might have remained our earnest wishes
Yet its fulfillment was under cloud
For we were not allowed to speak loud

Simple wagon

The mind is such a complex paragon,
with heavy loads in it as simple wagon
Life is not easy to live and carry with
Walk on sharp weapon with meaning and myth

My heart beats to a lovely rhythm
Good art work I see always in poem
It is so sensitive but not as device
Respect to all wishes and to an advice

What do I owe to mankind and world as whole?
Never appreciate any or encourage little hole
Human bonding and peace almost should prevail
I shall not put myself first but chance all avail

I am not helpless but simple woman
No one can cheat including a man
He may has to face challenge and consequence
I may make him realize to the tune and dance

Life At Obelisk

Through the flood we shall rise and float
On tenterhooks of tomorrow(s)
We shall abide beyond the gallows
Of each daybreak, ours to calculate

Life, on the gigantic obelisk we etched
As history have our joys and sorrows
On the walls of each steeple chamber
There the tale goes engraved on marbles

Embroidered on silky clothes of kings
By bare hands and simple weapons
On the jars of blood, we reached to day
Molded us people in silver and clay

We may be buried underground
Still peace may not be found
It may not look good and sound
We have to make show all-round

Come and go

Sky looked so hollow
As if no life or glow
Place for moon to come and go
