"बरे झाले देवा, निघाले दिवाळे!"

मनास  फटकारती
भावनांचे जाळ देती
उधळून,

तुकोबांचे शब्द गर्जती
आणती जाग
हदरून!

कोणास समजली
हि अजब धुंदी
दुख्खाबरोबर सुखाचीही होळी
आज आनंदे
होताना पहिली!

Lovelorn?

Misery can be forgotten,
Pain healed,
Sorrow can be reasoned with
And loss concealed..

for good!

Lament can be made,
Tears can be shed,
And a spirit defeated,
can once again be fed

with hope!

Its possible to rekindle
That which is frozen.
Mists thick and heavy
that hide the horizen

can be lifted!

But you once asked 
and it made me reel
'To be love-lorn?
How does it feel?'

What feeling
What emotion
What meaning
A burning, biting and a bitter
'WHAT?'
To whatever else you fancy!

To look upto in askance
To one who has already left

And while the world goes
at its own pace
To question
 a blank empty space..

This can't be felt!

An unmoving Abruptness
Can only be stared at
Forever!

Hibiscus

Dearest Hibiscus
Brightest!
If i could ever grasp
even in the slightest..

What magic, what joy
outflowed?
What mad rush
did explode..

for you to happen!

Bursting forth
so red
If i could ever rejoice enough
what more needs to be said

If my eyes can open
my breath still
If my heart can open
so simple...so full
Right here
Without a face...without a name
like you..
An eternal smile!

Then all is well
all is found,
ready to drop...like you
without a sound!

माणसानं काय करावं ?

तुझी आठवण झाली की
कविता सुचते
कविता लिहून झाली की
तू नाहीस … ह्याची जाणीव होते !


फूल


फूल आलं कुठून ?
फूल  आलं  फांदीतून .

फांदी आली कुठून ?
फांदी आली झाडातून

झाड आलं कुठून ?
झाड आलं  मातीतून

म्हणजे काय झालं ?
फूल  आलं  मातीतून..  नाही का ?

छे … मुळीच नाही !

मग काय  आकाशातून पडलं का ?
नाही !

फुल आलं  आतून
तुझ्या आणि माझ्या
मनातून !

असं  कसं  काय विचारत बसू नका ,
पटलं तर घ्या … नाहीतर सोडून द्या !

For Once!


This time when you spoke
I did not listen

I lived!

For i heard...i know..
not just your voice
not just you words
not just what you said
not just what you felt

not even the way you looked
the way your eyes shone
the way your heart beat
..in time with mine..

yes...not even that!

I knew what i knew
and what really maddened
and thrilled and freed beyond..

beyond the place where we sat
(like we sit everyday)
and time that reminds you to go
(like you do everyday)

for there is nothing much to say..is there?
(once you have drank your tea)

yes..beyond all this..for once..

was simply..

..that you knew.. that i knew..
that you knew..
and so on...
