Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Lo, time to rain's here,
Love lingers in air,
Roads, mood's slippery; take care.

A pot filled full maketh little sound,
Half baked boys boisterous more are found,
One, well-versed in knowledge
Has none of that rough edge,
...

The hand and its ilk in years have done little,
Slogans, postures, and little more than words,
For dark deeds, pot besides blaming poor kettle,
We voters grin and bear— cattle in herds! '
...

Ah borderless birds ever so cute
That believed in no border dispute,
Yet, at the embassy level
The matter was placed still.
...

If she were a young woman
Her youth would begin to wane,
Her father— of the old school,
Also thinks she's not so cool.
...

Preferred toy in hand, playing,
In mother's lap and smiling,
To her lullaby listening,
Eyes on Ma, succumbs to sleep,
...

Shakes up when a Richter scale,
Seismographs when fail,
Only her ship sails smooth sail!
...

Holding the finger of desire
A man walks in Greed Street so dire,
Reaching nowhere, still getting tired,
His path with bogs and fens is mired.
...

And clouds seem to say,
Let tears of love flow,
There's no joy like a good spell.

Many a scripture can one read,
Divergent be whose varied views,
The world's wise, varied be its creed,
Its wisdom weighs down to confuse.
