If I were a butterfly ......


If I were a butterfly
I will not spread
Sweet poison of gossip
From one ear to another

If I were a butterfly
I will not hum venomous tunes
Dogmatic seditious songs
Malice performances in public

If I were a butterfly
I will not mutate into rumour
Spreading a wild fire 
From one city to another

If I were a butterfly
I will not hover for sinful sojourn
In someone else lap
To shatter a happy home

If I were a butterfly
I will portray beauty and love
Symbolising freedom from
Invisible mental cages

If I were a butterfly
I will pulsate my gossamer wings
Spread nectar of goodwill
Fragrance of universal brotherhood

Vampire of Misunderstanding.....



One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten.....

Don’t play
Hide and seek
Here I come to
Seek you.

I know
Where you hide

Behind the door
Of insecurity of love
Frightening others

Under the bed with
Depressing monsters
Conniving hatred

Up in the ceiling
Knitting webs with spiders
To catch innocent wasps

You can not escape now
I will find you
Strangle you

Take out your
Blood sucking teeth
And neon eyes

Love cross will I point
Mirror of trust everywhere
Sunshine of fidelity

Pin your heart
With sickle of rejection
Garlic cloves fencing

Reverse I chant

Ten
Nine eight
Seven six five four
Three two one...

I atone my sins
You evaporate
My home secured



******



Robot..............





Am I a robot?
Devoid of conscience
Rattle a lot
Like a Sufi saint

Ornamented decorated, O Krishna
Infuse ceramic love
Donate your flute
To my hushed voice

From the ocean of milk
Under the seven hoods of serpent
Grant me absolute peace, O Vishnu
Rest my ego and desire

Appeal to the simpleton, O Shiva
Adorn me third eye
Not for aggression
But to clear vision of life

Guide me, O Brahma
In all the four stages of life
Like your symbolic faces
Create my humble Vedas

Ignite the light divine
All pervasive supreme
Liberate my soul slave
From the robotic control
