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...

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.
