moving to light

A sensation of darkness grips me, With no feel of redeeming brightness And a sensation of brightness ropes me To a colourful gleaming spriteness, Not deluding myself in dreams, Achievements and encounters in schemes, Obstacles, not a deterrent, Success is the determinant, A life of sunshine and thrill, The game of cosmic will. ( If a person aligns oneself to cosmic will, obstacles are not a...

discrimination

The woman you attract, The reason you detract,

The life you announce,
The death you denounce,

The den you enter,
The land you deter,

The hunger you assert,
The soul you desert,

The minute you rejoice,
The hour you tremor,

The excuse you make,
Looking for a break,
With no will to discriminate.

( Infatuation has led to pitfalls. Very often, it is not love.)

Casement

Let us forget the misdeeds of humans,
Claiming no superior vein,
Let’s partake the world’s pleasures,
Good or bad,
Only for the effect it brings,
Purging our ignorance,
Reopening the casements of
Wider delights
And gains healthier than humans.

( Much of the suffering in this world is caused by humans. It is difficult to forget and forgive their misdeeds}

A MENTAL BLOCK

Host of meaningless words,Come rushing into ears,They are thrusted on me forcefully,They have clouded unknowingly,Around an indolent mind. Culture, technology, communication,Nothing but words of humiliation,Unaffected, uneventful, they passInto an ignorant world of gross. I, an impermeable skull,Find it good to dope,Having in it no hope,It is a mental block,Not of the superior flock. ( Students...

A SHOOTING LECTURER

A circuit of electrifying experience, Of cinematic world in jerks, Bleaks, blasts, glamour and perks, His dreamy eyes bathed in books, Takes on an intellectual look, He has attuned himself to shots, To unwind the difficult knots, Naughty jokes twinkle in his eyes, Never does he express a sigh, His mind has given to treat, The spirit of an evolving art, He excels in artistic cell, Of cinema still...

static lecture

Serious negation is the lecture,Opening an opaque aperture,The meaningless words crowd,The classroom to resound,To every word is a syllable added,Wary slimy words get sprayed,Into a tremulous ‘i:z’,Fancied fun left for drowsy glum,With silence sleeping,With wakeful mourningAnd brains resting,Static fixtures,Static gestures,A static lecture. ( A student searches for new thoughts or information in...

SPINNING THROUGH IGNORANCE

Ignorance slits a human’s throat, Unknowingly as that of a goat, He clings to the world, Considers lightly as a bird, Flies high in worldly venture, Fret and fury its features, Floods, fumes foil human, Mauled by life’s events, Caught in a cyclonic sink, Whirls round and round A nucleus of depression, Drowns in fury and despair. (Life is tough in this world. We need a strong mind to face it. We...

AN INDOLENT INTELLECT

It is the surface emerging out,No depth for an intellect, stout,The words fading have no right,To create cogent bytes.How shallow is the region stirred!How little is the outlet turned!Nothing wakens the indolent brain,Confining it to a limited frame.Is it a meaningful lectureOr a vain conjecture?

( Understanding is essential for learning. If it is absent, learning is meaningless)

a lame lecture

You pound my brain with your sound,Fluctuating tone of rise and fall,Conveys that you need to recall,Words, meaningless, unknown,Shrivelled in senses, unkindPour out of your fermented mind,What a good lecture it would have beenIf your knowledge had a stream? You trained your brain to memorise notes,Laid in the barren desert of no hope,Infertile is your mind,Your logic is parched and blind,You, a...

seismic lAUGHTER

The professor echoes the atmosphere,Washing away the false notions,Students erupt into peals of laughter,Ringing with timbrel, echoing the atmosphere,It is our dear professor,Unwinding threads of thought,Turning the receptive minds,Into meaningful critical laughter,His lectures serenade us,To view the world with seismic laughter ( A lively talk by the professor evokes seismic laughter, an example...
