BROTHERS

Brothers

From small secret keeper

to big whistle blower

From mutual adore

to fierce third world war

From inventing effective silly plans

to executing mission impossible plans

From war of words

to making faces absurd

From sharing of clothes
to bragging what one owns
From quick-witted compose
to peculiar funny transpose
From ganged up fight
to exhibiting all one's might
Fabricating secret language
that only we can acknowledge
Pioneers of high-risk venture
escorting to examination centre
Guidance of mentor expert
and unmatched ally stalwart
Parading hegemonic gesticuation
to score on each possession
Nagging and teasing to the core
never let you slumber with bore
Childhood arch-rival
to irreplaceable companion vital
They are brothers
your all weather lovers
and sweet devil under-covers!

Maturity

Maturity

Maturity is not an instinctive state

it is a distinguishing trait.
Maturity is not a signature key of adulthood
as one can never wants to transcend childhood
Maturity seldom co-relates with age
as they can be on different page.
Maturity is not being judgemental
instead analysing deep fundamental
Maturity is not about breaking bad
instead dealing with adversities like a dad
Maturity is not to strive for quintessence
instead acknowledging one's real essence.
Maturity is when you don't hold grudge
and vouchsafe forgiveness way too much
Maturity is when you can keep cool
without raising a ruckus pool
Maturity is providing complement
not making oneself more opulent
Maturity is ready to undergo alteration
without engaging in meritless confrontation
Maturity is when you're able to claim responsibility
with utmost liability
Maturity is when you treat others with civility and respect
this is how you're a relationship architect
Maturity is all about self-devotion and sobriety
not about overblown customs of society.

The Rendezvous

The Rendezvous

They met for the first time

at their love prime

It's their first rendezvous

yet had the feeling of déjà vu

A smile of cheerfulness

with the blend of nervousness

A lot to talk

but anxiety was the stumbling block

A long walk precise

to break the ice
Petty shy was kept at bay
and delighted laughter was exceeding highway

As they talked and time flies

that moment when they were lost in each other eyes
Getting closer
wanted to propose her
And words led astray
romantic expedition was halted halfway
They whispered a fond adieu
loving kiss was still a due
The rendezvous was in days of yore
now they long to see each other like never before
Souvenired memories
to fall into long past reveries.

"The Ugly Truth"

Who says that people change?

People never change,

neither like mutant virus

nor like shares of stock exchange.

People never change,

neither like moments

nor like inflationary range.

They remain the same,

they never change

just like a picture frame.

It's just their charming untruth mask wear off,

and the curtain from the drama lifts-off.

When the game of hypocrisy comes to an end

when they cannot anymore pretend.

When they are tired of faking themselves

And they are back to their true selves

People are found in variety of hues

the way in which you will be screwed.

People come to you when they need you

and you will be cooked like hot stew.

They are the only true well-wisher

and God's own messenger.

They are the perfect guest just like a parasite

And are the only one to be blamed for your pathetic plight.

These people are your own close friends

who entrap you in dead-end.

This is the ugly truth

Which even fails a brilliant sleuth!

"And yet those tears...."

"And yet those tears...."

As the silvery moonlight descended on her face
bestowed its charm and grace.
It had scattered in plethora,
breached the quiet soulless aura.
An exceptional vividness spread
from vicinity to infinity.
And tears were glittered like pearls
with the moonlight sheen.

Once tears were harboured in pretty feeble eyes,
then they were gushed out
to meet the gravity with special affinity.
Tears were so ingenuous,
they were artless and naive,
they didn't know how to hide.
Alas! tears flowed so gracefully
racing down her face that
they made emotions explicit,
they spoke in their own language.
Those tears were indefatigable
they spilled patiently and incessantly.
Those yearning tears draped her

in the pleasant memories and remembrance.
Those tears were tranquilizer,
mitigated the pain and discomfort,
set the peace of mind and serenity.
They drifted, they trickled, they glided
all over...
Yet, those priceless tears were wasted...worthlessly..!!

"माँ-बाप कौन हैं?"

"माँ-बाप कौन हैं?" 

माँ-बाप 

इस धरा पर हमारे अस्तित्व का आशय-प्रयोजन हैं 

 ये एक ऐसे मुसाफ़िर हैं जो हमारा कभी साथ नहीं  छोड़ते
ये वो सहनशीलता की मूर्ति हैं जो सदैव अखंड रहती है
ये वो अभेद्य कवच हैं जो हमारी रक्षा करती है
ये वो जौहरी हैं जो शीशे को भी तराश कर हीरा बना देते हैं
 ये वही प्रेरणा शक्ति की श्रोत्र हैं जो अनवरत है
इनके ही स्नेह रूपी छत्रछाया में हम पले-बढे हैं
ये विषम परिस्थियों को सम बना देते हैं
ये ही तो हैं जो हमारे रगरग से वाक़िफ़ हैं
जिन्होंने हमें कभी किसी चीज़ की कोई कमी नहीं होने दी
 हाँ! ये वही शख़्स हैं
जिन्हे हमने सबसे ज्यादा दुःख दिए 

 जिन्हे हम हमेशा दर्द देते हैं 
अनादर-अपमान और धोखे भी  दिए हैं
जो हमारे लिए सिर्फ एक कल्पवृक्ष के समान हैं
आखिर क्यूँ हम इनके अरमानों का  गाला घोंटते हैं?
आखिर क्यूँ हम अपने उत्तरदायित्व निभाने में अक्षम हैं?
क्षणिक सुख के लिए वर्षों का प्यार भूल जाते हैं
कमी कहाँ रह गई थी?
क्या इनके परवरिश में कमी थी?
 नहीं!!!
कमी हमारे ही अंदर है
हम ही उन्हें आज तक समझ नहीं पाये
जिन्होंने अपना सर्वस्व न्योछावर कर दिया हमारे लिए
  अपनी एक-एक जमा पूंजी हम पर निवेश कर दिया
 एक ऐसा बाग़बान जो ज़िन्दगीभर निगरानी ही करता रहा
हमें समृद्ध बनता रहा
और हम ही उनका तिरस्कार करते रहते हैं

जब इन्हे हमारी सबसे ज्यादा ज़रूरत होती है

तो हम इन्हे अस्वीकार कर देते हैं 

 किस अपराध की सजा सज़ा इन्हे देते हैं
 यही तो हमारे संरक्षक हैं, सर्वस्व हैं
 हम इनके एक ऐसे ऋणी हैं  जो कभी भी ऋण नहीं पूरा कर सकता
माँ- बाप की महत्ता जाननी हो तो किसी अनाथ से पूछो-
माँ-बाप कौन हैं?
अरे माँ-बाप तो अतुल्य हैं
रुपयों से इनकी कीमत आंकते क्यूँ हो?
अगर कीमत होती इनकी तो क्या ये बाज़ार में ना बिकते!

"Deficient in pursuit of Sufficient"

"Deficient in pursuit of Sufficient"

Lacking some part 

and all best efforts thwart,
A man in his prime

lagging behind time.

Filled with emptiness pangs

where sweet sorrow cloud hangs,

profuse fragmentary dreams
and chocked fear screams,
partial wishes and unheard prayers

all these make my eyes tears.
Deprived of what you deserve
purpose of existence is yet to be serve.
Remember!
when stars are in bad alignment
never exhaust thy excitement,
hold thy nerve till last minute
sing like a spring linnet,
Limit too has a limit 
beyond which nothing can inhibit,
Waiting for long
still holding aspiration strong,
Failure has fanned the flame inside
now determinations are on high tide,
awaken thy heart and soul 
directed to achieve the goal,
let your thoughts to be solemn and sublime
and setting thy life rhyme,
Accomplish against the odd
lift to skies with laud.
Deficient in pursuit of sufficient 
with negative value of correlation coefficient,
and
when the time comes, there won't be any worry
we all will make merry!!

~Aakanksha Tiwary

"That Friend....." ヅ

"That Friend....." ヅ

Heart is always in a quest

swirl in the tempest,

heart in a propensity for

 love,share,care and pamper

wants to drench in the affection shower.

Brain waves too resonate with similar waves

and a strong communication way to pave.

Hangouts are not as important 

as confluence of thoughts.

Everyone ought to have That friend,

who can transcend and contend.

Yes!you are the one,

you are the masterpiece design 

in my tapestry of life.

you are that golden thread

which sews all muddle and keeps me ahead.

You are a brainstormer 

just like knights in shinning armor,

you are a shoulder to cry

and set the stress to deep-fry,

 A panacea for all agony,

you are my sweetest honey!

Your jokes make me to roll on the floor

this is how you earn brownie score.

You not only perceive and comprehend 

but also defend.

Whenever there is dullness, and i go off-track far

you serve like a north pole star.

Touched by your kindness and gratitude,

you became my "That friend" of great magnitude.

Love: A Mirage

Love: A Mirage

Enticement of love is like a mirage
it is as beautiful as corsage,
journey on a scorching sunny day
for searching a water bay,
through desert and wilderness
devoid of dampness and coolness.
A distant image of water,
an illusion that is a spot of bother.
Yeah!love is a mirage,
embrace you,
coax you, lead you astray
where
adversity,melancholy will stalk you as a prey.
Love is a mirage,
it is a fallacy of gratification
and mutilate your emotion.
You will never get,
 for what you have crave,
instead you will consign to solitude grave.
An equivocal state of mind
leave you as a
victim of a intellectual and mental stagnation,
abounding in emotional exhaustion.
Love is a mirage,
lost in bizarre,
gives unseen torment scar.
Mind will be haunted by thoughts
with recurrence of emotional bouts,
It is perfect strangle rope,
which no one can cope.
Love is a mirage,
holds all the myth
myth of happiness,contentment and pleasure!!

शून्य संवेदना

शून्य संवेदना 

कभी गूंजती थी संवेदनाओं की स्पंदन
कभी गठित थे रिश्तों के बंधन
कभी थे उन्मुक्त विचारों का आशियाँ
आह्लादित ह्रदय और पुल्कित मन

पर आज
ओढ़ रखे हैं निस्पृहता का कफ़न
लगा रखे हैं संकीर्णता के पहरे
 निस्पंद हैं भाव 

और निशब्द भावभंगिमा
चारों ओर रात्रि की घनघोर कालिमा
अब तो
नज़रें भी हैं वीरानी
जो देती हैं एक अमुक तबाही की निशानी!
क्यूँ नहीं रोए व्यथित मन!
क्यूँ सहते रहे भीतरी संताप!
क्यूँ हो गयी हैं संवेदनाएँ शून्य!

"When you choose ONLY to hurt yourself..."

"When you choose ONLY to hurt yourself..."

Being a sagacious intellect

yet suffer from neglect

acting like a layman

serving as a pawn.

Yes!you have conjectures, 

how the things gonna be

but still

choosing a journey to tyrannous path

that would left you a psychopath.

Raising your hopes

drowning your spirits,

showing your gratitude

by letting your attitude

to live in a solitude.

Stepping for one-way transaction

would lead to no satisfaction.

Holding on resentment and remorse

when no one else knows.

Lips would have parted in smile

but you were the one 

who chased the shadow in dark,

gave a trashy try

and chose to cry.

Dabbling with emotions

churned you into tears

and paralysed soul.

Your inclinations

served as a wanton destruction.

Forsook mistress empire

now

dwelt in distress shire.

Yes! you had conjectures,

how the things gonna be

but still

you chose to hurt yourself!

The Parents

The Parents

The bestowment of Almighty
reason for our existence, entity.
The one and only commanding
supreme power, 
whose virtuous love bonds has

apprehended us,

whose solicitude made us armoured 

whose sophisticated eyes 

judge our nerve impulse,

whose sovereignty 

breathe life into us,

lead to invigoration, rejuvenation.

for whom, we are everything

their life, dreams, aim, 

success, happiness.

Parents

an incessant fuel for perpetual running of 

our life engine.

The strongest and unbreakable 
relationship ever!

RAINS

RAINS

Tropospheric supersaturation

discharge the fleet of

water drops.

Gravity left them stranded

to the parched earth.

Tempting, intoxicating fragrance

replenish the synaptic cleft ach.

Mellifluous euphony of shower

put into tranquility.

Alas! a sudden tremble of

thunderstorm wildly toss

the emotional longings,

arouse torrential emotions.

Rains: so enigmatic 

drenched to the skin

but still couldn't 

content the soul.
A stark, bleak landscape inside!

Emotions: Unexpressed

Emotions: Unexpressed

Have you ever hide your emotions or feelings?

Or unable to express your feelings to someone?

What happen when emotions are unexpressed?

                 Turbulent emotions 

                      engender 

       propulsive, repulsive & attractive 

       eddy current in conductive mind.

             Create clamorous uproar.

      Scruple and jumbled emotions has

                 insulated the mind 

                        hindered 

                    the flux outflow.

             Rumbling emotion fluxes

                  try to splutter out.

          Just like tenacious sea waves

           repeatedly touch the shore.

          Similarly, emotion having its

           cognet argument with

         broca area to get recognition

                       as words.

                    But vain effort!!

                emotions didn't roll off

            unexpressed emotions led to

              persistent agony, throes...

                    create tremors!!
         ...An unseen metal tantrum...

Why we are not able to express our self? 

Are we scare of anything? oh! Really???

Heart found Love again

Heart found Love again

What if heart found love again?

What if heart stumbles in someone's love?

  Loquacious soliloquy has broken

 the taciturn of heart,

  enshrine someone's heart

   Now, 

heart starts to plunge in love waves

  find out precious pearl of thought

    & bead-on-string of love,

   create a subtle shade of memory 

       of special someone.

   Quite often,

  heart skip beats 

  while chasing the thoughts.

  Heart with visionary wings of fantasy 

     claims to legitimate authority of brain,

    break in abstinence of  lymbic system

         but, 

          vanity of brain has put shackles on the wings.

            cuz, once brain had gone through 

             melancholic distress given

          by heart. 

           Eventually, Contemptuous brain couldn't defend

             the sanctity of love, 

         oh! chastened brain.

         Whimsical heart came up with ascendancy 

              over brain,

             seafaring across the immense passion.
