BLOOMS OF LOVE

There grew the garden on the bed of peace
In it smiled happily the blooms of love
With verve of heart I moved into a step
A bloom bent and whisper'd in my left ear
'Are you true?' the question I smiled back at
When drifted another to my right ear
And ask'd, 'Are you pure?', and I smiled again
Taking another step in flight of grace,
Perhaps they took me in with contentment
And deep into the soul of paradise
My heart effloresced with divine touches -
No hate, no spite, no lies, no greed, no anger,
And nothing connected me with my self
But fill'd in with truth, peace, and altruism,
And stacks of all other virtues of love
Pledged in the service of my fellow beings...
In blossoming of the floral delights
In their's quiet humming of humanness 
In feelings of warmth of their homeliness
I found my being transform'd into a bloom...
Summers have spew'd blazes with ruthlessness 
Winters have crush'd the bones with heaviness
And storms have buffeted life with suddenness...
But proud am I standing unhurt, unbroken
My blooms of love with me in merriment...

 In our unity are we all secured 
In our mutuality are we all alive 
In each other's concern we live and grow 
In the soul of our love and care for each other
Invincible we are, and will bloom forever...

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry-- Whole drown'd in tears--be it night or day it be-- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry. (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?) But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does 'part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- 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 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!'.
