INDIGO, FOREVER !

Oh, where is IndiGo the 
flyer's pride ?
Where is the soul of air?
It's roaring ride?
Where is across the earth, its
endless fly-by?
However will the world aviate
the entire sky?

Unknown, unheard, has gone
the wing'd beloved.
Nowhere into the air has it
dissolved.
My soul with deepest yen
restless does lie,
As hangs o'er me the sky
lifeless and dry!

But wings of IndiGo can
never drop.
Its stately steady flights can
never stop.
Can cease not breaths of
human paradise.
Can sink not people, their
ambition to rise.

Immortal is my childhood's 
wondrous fly
That hover'd over at uncatchable
high;
My crafty paper planes of halcyon
days
Now IndiGo the marvel of the
skies.

I know the avian wonder will
soar again -
Again across the boundless
azure heaven,
Astutely through the blinks of
snowy clouds
So with blinkers of light through
nightly shrouds...

The wings of IndiGo will always
flutter.
The sky with arrogance will 
always roar
Behind the leader plane's 
progressive roar
Of humanitarian work and 
endeavour,
With humanity's forward will 
to conquer,
Yet limitless, yet higher, yet
stronger,
With glories and well being
forever...

Forever IndiGo, forever zest,
Forever my flights in the heaven's breast.

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'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
