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?

Her bad luck it was, a prank turned tragic
accident happened in a chemistry lab
perceived as no one’s fault what a magic!
a few people thought it was hide and stab.

At her silly question my head explodes
pain in my blood infiltrates into bones
how to help her, sympathy makes inroads
Why do I melt when my heart is like a stone?

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?

naive children wear mask to frighten their friends
How silly they are! not sober like me!
aren’t they proudy and stupid in the end
I’m ideal inside out, you must agree

I am a great thinker and free from bias
but chase any target at your command
Get crooked work done if you are my boss
I twist my scruples , ethics on demand

with no morals or shame, I do shuttle
be any situation, I must win
pain in my heart so severe and subtle
I hide to transplant mask beneath my skin

children use mask just to play and enjoy
to hide my fear and greed masks I deploy
