Theme : Guilt 
A Prank
by Harihar Rai Jha

A blind girl asks me, “is it day or night?”
my old classmate she is, not blind by birth
I get hurt when she asks in broad day light
to answer is futile, what is its worth?

Anguish in me tries to escape in vain
A guilt-ridden man cries in throbbing pain

Theme : Passion

Your dead silence is very frightening
so much mysterious is your laughter
no escape! you are thunder and lightening !
to merge in you I come tumbling after

You annihilate my sturdy feeling
and blast the cobweb of my complex thoughts
with love you flood my heart’s core and ceiling
what a real volcano your touch has brought

Magic in you has a spiritual credo
fountain of cheers emerging from your eyes
craving desire with cheering libido
in pain suffers silently, my heart cries

In you I have jumped , be it loss or gain
God knows this passion is pleasure or pain?

 Theme : Poetry

Am I really a poet or a joker
You said I amuse you and make you laugh
with all futile attempts to win your heart
I am half poet and a joker half

Poem is more than a flowing river
it should be composed cleaner and neater
so I’m attentive of rhyme and rhythm
precisely I measure foot and meter

I have nice collection of poetry
but publisher saw me with empty purse
somehow he wanted to escape from me
cunningly asked me to change in free verse

I inflicted wounds on all my poems
They were sobbing in tears, What a disgrace!
with clothes on their body I hide my sin!
no one can notice cuts on their faces

such poems are all just pornographic jokes,
you appreciate fantastically
but my heart knows the praise showered on me
should be told very sarcastically

 Theme : Passion

Flame of burning fire trying to embrace
When out of control, it blackens your face  

In humans, instinct of love is supreme
Dance, art and literature have the same theme
Suppressed love is anger poised to slaughter
like a thirsty man fighting for water

ready to dump wisdom, What a disgrace!
When out of control, it blackens your face

Restless mind without love always turns blind
animal beats the saint sitting in the mind
Roaming here and there, sad story to tell
With addiction of lust falling in the well

Water snakes in dream trying hard to chase
When out of control, it blackens your face

When erotic story turns chaotic
Man in love acts like a mad psychotic
Cupid takes revenge in the dress of love
Helpless man inside behaves like a dove

Passion dashing noble thoughts to replace
When out of control, it blackens your face

Theme : Death

  The Death has drawn a line on me
Mind in blunder, my heart in wonder
I see the death coming near me

Spreading black veil, making me blind
Shaking my bones, and veins are blown
A wave in melody piercing my mind

Song from the birds rolling on a death cup
What clouds reveal, wet fragrance I feel
From earth to cosmos, umbrella opens up      

 With love I am ready to be breakfast next
Death licking me while I taste my death
My soul is fulfilled but ego perplexed       

The world is dissolved, I’m going to die
Nothingness looming and silence blooming
Peace everywhere I’m flying in the sky.            

Order from heavens passing my ears
Take me my dear with joy and cheers
People around me why shedding tears?        

Theme : Silence 

Since my birth when I cried heartily
Tried so hard again but still I am silent

Great style my sweetheart! ? Who killed your soul??
You dared to ask me and I am silent

Me hungry of love, you asked me to be far away
Not to show wounds in my heart I am silent

Tears of sorrow to sip with smile on face
Ocean of sorrow in line and I am silent

River of love flowing in my heart
You ask me to shed tears, I am silent

You rubbed salt on injury instead of ointment
Isn?t that too much that I am silent ?

Love is sin - I went for crime after crime
Trapped in the mud of guilt I am silent

On death-bed, God asking the truth behind my guilt
The truth and the only truth is : I am silent.

Theme : Love

In the rain with you,
my heart is a garden
a dancing peacock appears
Stupid the rain!
when you are away
It brings a flood of tears…

Wet is romantic air in your love
and wet is all our bodies
How to open our tender hearts
when we both are quite and shy

Your anklet sounds to express passion
and ringing bangles conveying…
Lips unable to speak emotion
Then blowing wind comes helping

In the pouring rain when you are missing
Tough to pass the lonely night
the long garland with all its fragrance
jumps as a cobra ready to bite.

Why the garden so green yet blowing
Storm of fire to slaughter
passion in air, flame in the heart
fire blazing in the water…

 Theme :  Metaphor

I am sitting in a cave
feel innocent and younger
tree branches like artery
just to satisfy hunger

Someone is breathing for me
here all leisure and no fight
lovely music like heartbeat
I listen whole day and night

No effort, no work for me
all comfort comes by snuggle
what a wonder cave it is
preparing for a struggle

Will drive me out of the cave
through a very narrow route
I can’t stay inside for long
still very tough to come out

Lazy bone no work for me
my mother is the rover
I will be pushed out soon
when just nine months are over

Theme :  Love

Don’t feel shy in the sweet moments darling!
lest the redness of dawn may hide under the clouds

Wine from your eyes is for me to consume
flowers in your laughter for me, my fragrance
river of youthful rapture is not to disperse
beauty like a red rose for me to delight

Be stylish or smile but don’t feel shy
lest the redness of dawn may hide under the clouds

Your charming, melodious, titillating song
drunk in desire, still innocent quite
in a wave of love so high and strong
your beauty like rainbow pleasant and bright

Flood my soul with joy, don’t feel shy
lest the redness of dawn may hide under the clouds

Theme : Woman

In strange people, in hostile aliens
Peep through and see God in all
Variety of flowers in this garden
Let them blossom and enjoy the fragrance

Fire erupted in cosmos, Sun and Moon got destroyed
Death dancing in chaos, steps involved in error
Now all sobbing in cold wave, why so much of the snowfall?
In the swing of these extremes, terror rolls on anti-terror

 Have restrain said mother earth,
Sense how delicate is life!
Variety of flowers in the garden
Let them blossom and enjoy the fragrance

 Women shackled and handcuffed, all sympathy meaningless
Euphemism dancing around robed in a shining dress
And lo! hypocrisy is thrown, vision of world awakened
Soon declared equality to march in the path of progress

 Are they commodities or powerless you think?
Admire women’s potential
Source of love like buds in a garden
Let them blossom and enjoy the fragrance

Theme :  Pretension

Make a move from this hypocritical world
away from the mechanical life
for a picnic with friends and wife
Throw your formal dresses
and laugh in a jolly mood
Nicely arrange our lunch and diner
but a gimmick in search for food.

Let’s go shouting songs
rhythm from collective consciousness
like nomads going global,
Pretending to lose our ways on a bush-walk
then jump to contact on mobile

Let’s go and appreciate
trees, forest and stars
Boast of creating peace in mind
the magic of healing scars

Then how come we start fights
angered over trivial matters
Hot discussion, war of words
tranquility to shatter…

Theme :  Optimism

My heart has turned into a stone
some rocks hit against and break
to flow in the river
but still desire to see the seedling sprouting
is alive
Hope to hear melodious songs from birds
is active
and dreams of fragrance from the flowers
yet remains…

Someone has plunged his sword
into intestine of the wasteland Earth
and yet,
in these threatening and roaring clouds,
the desire for showering compassion is still alive.
Hope from the heartless earth
to grow passionate sensitivity is still active.
Appeal to the dead sky
to rain the life-force yet remains…

There is no place for platonic love now
What is Love? But just a deal
an equation in Mathematics
or a computer program
flowing chemicals of a few organic compounds
In spread of the mud,
Hope to lotus blossom
yet remains…

Theme : Heartache

How to quench the heart strongly flaming in
Fire-balls in ashes burning me within
Heart speaks and body blazes
“Doh Re Me…” from the limbs
Breathing is mute, the soul is frightened.
Silently expressive!

Silent stars in cosmos rebirth
Who listens to the tiny earth?
Poor man is shedding tears
Silently expressive!

Emotional poem composed in rhyme
Walked through the ladder, dancing in rhythm
melted in a divine meditation
Silently expressive!

Roads from life lead to death
Shrill voice of consciousness, hard to breathe
Silently expressive!
