Wandering alone in dusk, in a forest
I came down from my horse for a rest
Gently I laid my tired body under a tree.
My head resting on its trunk, my steed grazing free.

Suddenly I noticed some movement beside me
I turned my face for a closer look
I saw a heap of ash stirring mysteriously
In front of my eyes it started to change.

I jolted up to sit straight and stare
It took the form of a golden bird
A golden bird with wings of fire
Deep mysterious black eyes.

Gently it flew and sat up on a branch
And addressed to me in human tongue,
“I rebuild myself from my own ashes
So should you my friend!”

If that time ever comes
I will leave half of the world
And beside you will I stride
Happily with the feeling of peace.

Why? Because you make me complete
Make my body, soul, mind feel safe
They can close their eyes and know
No hurt will reach them from you.

Spread your golden wings
Higher grounds are calling
Leave behind pain, sorrow
Look at a golden tomorrow.

Don’t dwell in past, it’s gone
Don’t bank on future, it’s a hope
Live in today, build and cherish
A golden foundation for future hope.

Scavenging for food
In leftovers
Left by others
In dustbin.

Even then there is no respite
He hears sniggers
He hears rude taunts
From stay loiterers.

They can afford it
For their tummy is full
They have enough time
To harass weak.

Pebbles hit him hard
He tries to ignore
Then hatred reaps
Its ugly harvest.

Path of truth leads to peace
But it’s a path of fire
Your feet will burn again and again
Your heart will be full of blisters.

They will hurt sometimes
But peace will soon return
Like a soothing balm
Your courage will heal you.

I dreamt a strange dream
About a really strange land
Where lived a demon
With ever changing form.

One moment it was saintly
Speaking only of God
Next moment it was evil
Showing the way to hell.

One form will coax you
The other will lure you
Third will reprimand you
Fourth will goad you.

Mocking, taunting, scaring
Hatred, lust and anger
Twirled in its forms
Like colours in printer’s bowl.

Few moments of patience
Will show you the truth
Just like painter’s water
Twirling ended in one colour-black!

A poor girl became the friend of a princess
The princess showered her with love
The girl returned the love in thousand-folds,
As if her heart was blessed like a lotus kissed by sun.

Every morning she used to pick up wild flowers,
And bring them to her beloved friend
The princess used to kiss each and every bloom,
After kissing her friend she placed them in gold vase.

The king saw his darling daughter’s love
And asked the best jewelers of his kingdom
To create the best vase with most beautiful flowers
With priceless jewels for his sweet daughter.

The flower vase was placed on her bedside table,
Next morning her friend came with wild flowers
Seeing those dazzling flowers she turned around
to throw the humble wild flowers away.

The princess ran to her and took the flowers,
Kissed each and every one of them and then her friend,
Then placed them in the same vase and said,
“Your love and my father’s love both are priceless to me.”
