THE OPEN SKY

When work frees me to solitary gaps,
Get I some liberating aerial flaps;
With clutches of desires brush'd off my form,
Supremely reigns in mind a perfect calm.

The silence mutes down all and sundry rows
Of conceit, cant, slang, slanders, and guffaws;
So shrieks of torture, or cries of distress,
The rumbles of struggles, roars of vengeance.

Then shines the firmament over my head
With messages of peace and wishes laid;
In great enthusiasm I look at the yon,
That drenches me in glow of fascination.

I see the sky expands away and open
And feel its touches deeply on me quite often,
Fervently I wish to capture the distance
And crave to hold the blue in my embrace.

The azure abode of the spatial panache
Houses the known, unknown in its expanse,
Pervades the transcendence thoroughly over
And hang all tawdry worlds in vacuuous inner.

In tranquil spread of the cosmic abstraction
Out come the chromatic illumination -
Celestial marvels like the flying broom,
The nightly blossoms and the lunar bloom,

Prismatic rainbow's fluidly gradience,
The setting sun, its tawny radiance,
The auroral lights of the North and South,
Supernova, or ecliptical mouth...

From top of hill up I look at the sky
And run my eyes round the horizons by,
Down still I find the same all as the upper
Whole things are bellied by infinite Nature.

Though billows blot the welkin glory out
Or deep's the earth in nocturnal black out,
Exists the ultimate stately forever
Where truths of beauty eternally appear.

Permeates the Absolute subtle force all through,
The empyrean vast that poses solely true;
Dissolve thoroughly in, keenly I wish to
And endlessly get peace, immortality too...

KISS ME, PLEASE!

Woo-hoo...! Kisss you...u...u...u...??? Oh, I'm being frenzical !!! My slavering tongue is jerking fast And my quivering lips are pouting out With booms of kisses in the air -- Ummah...! Ummah...! Ummah...! Just yesterday, an okay got my promise. Today is the chance no way to miss. And ready is my basket with pecks, Lip-locks, French kisses, and other varieties... I'm also ready for the lizard kiss, And the kiss of the Spider man... And I'm sure I won't beg like Big B  -- (Juma, chumma de de chumma...), This is my right to kiss I earn'd this week. I shall kiss like one Dhoom 2's Hritthik-Aash's, Although I envy Emraan's 'Murderous' thriller kiss... I'm ready with my balmy lips, Strawberry flavour'd,  To be the biggest smoocher  Of do hazaar chhabees... And I have hidden the cracks  On my wintry lips  To save from rashes My Valentine's softy cheeks... Well with flushed up teeth, With cleaned up tongue, With exotic ...

THE CHILDREN OF GAZA

                 The Children Of Gaza                               A Blank Verse Thundering in the sky, then rain of missiles... See how they are fleeing arms outstretched  Like the broken wings of storm-hit birds, And see their faces white with fear and hunger And hear their throbbing voice of pain and loss... Over their head, the sky's no kites, no clouds, But fire and fire amidst engulfing smoke, And they are running like the Napalm girl  From Vietnam or standing frozen, like The standing boy from Nagasaki, before Their elders who are whispering in fear Or staring helpless in the gauge of Death... They are the hapless children caught in the war zone. They have no home, no school, no ground of freedom, But sole refugee camps and hospitals  If marching death has spared them of their life. They hear not bedtime tales but sirens of death.  For them,...

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

                    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 P Samal
