'Gloomy Future' A Poem by Manmohan Bhinder

They are standing 

near the park to get a work

for the day,

wake up early morning 

And cook some food 

and a cup of coffee 

they standing every morning 

corner of this park.

they spend lot of money to reach 

this beautiful country for there bright future but they still fight there destiny, 

'Yours Untruly' Prof.Suhas Patwardhan

I just can't erase this incident from the canvas of my memory even after a long span of more than five decades.As teachers Mr.Madhukar and I had worked together in a far off remote country side secondary school in Maharashtra.Both of us were new to the job.Naturally we used to compliment each other to boost up our morale.

     Both of us being bachelors we walked together,talked together,ate together  ,laughed together.We lived together both in sunshine and rain.

Not wonder staff members referred to us as twins.

    Our happy and envious association, however,came to an abrupt end as I was selected for a  job in a nationalised bank.I left the place for ever having

I am lit 'Shelleyandra'

My aim is defined,

I am lit and inquisitive,

I want more light,

I want to be charged to

Remain devoted in my life.

My fears evaporate,

As i walk on path of truth,

I feel more humane 

and compassionate,

I feel humble and like this trait.

I have learnt about the books,

These creations are full of life 

reshaping

 Outlook,

 They inculcate never die approach,

 From grandparents and the past they

 Are carry forward the Eternal truth.

 I am greying day by day,

 I am becoming tolerant day by day,

 I am opening up in life now,

 I am sharing and becoming caring

 In the coming life going to stay.

 I am lending my hearts to poor souls,

 I am lending shoulers to listen to all,

 I am allowing everyone to satisfy their

 Eagerness,

 I am not tall , but want 

to be a tall figure

For comforting the souls.

Shelleyandra

A Dreamy night

 This never ending fire is misspelled love,

Buried so deeply in the hearts within,

It Erupts as required for its behove,

Burning the marrow penetrating skin.

I listen to my heart beats growing loud,

As the flames of passion entangle me,

Which volcano can be doused by a cloud,

However dark and clammy the cloud maybe?

So as the waves pulled from the land, I feel like a desert ship.

 

Contact I forgot what that word means, Shipwreck for months In books I look for a meaning to embrace me, to tell me everything will be fine ..

Anavart Ho Sakungi (Will I Come to Life ?  )  

Hidden in a stone, there lies my face

Will I ever come to life and unveiled?

 

Those life's songs and verse

I am longing to hum and sing

Will my voice ever be heard?

 

Buried deep, in the depths of my mind

are the dreams that are still alive

Will those ever, return once more to life ?

 

The silenced words and a soul,

Struggling, trapped and fraught

1.“THE FLOWERS IN THE POND GROW UP AGAINST THE WIND”

The humid body, in the manner of a snake, forces happiness

To make a detour.

The spring can hardly wait.

The flowers in the pond flutter their wings

And grow up against the wind.

The divine bird in your dream, rests at heart, in the most secret place,

While you neglect it.

 

Youth shakes and sways. Dream's ink is not yet dry.

Yesterday's great snow, which covered all the mountains and

fields, soothed the many worldly disputes.

The spring wind is again stepped by spring, around the heart,

And makes squeaky sounds.

 

Wisteria and some philosophies have built comradery, and no longer get entangled

1.  To My Daughter

  In one afternoon

I wrote a long letter and sent a gift to You, my daughter

who are far away from me and just turned 16 years old

 

The choice apples throughout the ages

with their origins marked out one by one

 

One is from the distant East Eden

And a golden apple burning in a wedding banquet

Still another one handed into the dwarf’s window by an old lady

There is one that once appeared in Socrates’ class
