PERFECTION

A finger on a cord at best
The musician in soulful quest
Of notes and tones for perfection,
In forging deathless rendition;

In the illuminated slumber,
The ball does mull the cricketer,
In his attention, how the motion
Duped him into imperfection;

The painter's brush has sunk as deep
As pines unfathomed, rapt and stiff
To fetch the colours of vision
With bristles of glorification...

All are apostles, yet for one,
The works of others are exclusion;
In his, each finds the whole revolution
In grace of human civilisation.

They bathe in humankind's well being,
They feed on fruit of selfless calling;
They do bask in the  austere pleasure,
They've banish'd all material leisure...

Inspire do they as inspired are they,
Enchant do they as enchanted are they;
Creators are they of the own universe--
So great, so earnest than this mean cosmos!

So noble is their Creation that God will cede His
To them to metamorphose the Whole Stases,
For they lone can mobilise transformation
As they are votaries of PERFECTION.

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal 

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
