सावन


@This painting is copyright of Shivali.


नभ के विशाल सीने पर मेघों का आवन,
मदहोश करती सीली पुरबा मनभावन, 
तपते हिय को भिगोती बूंदों के आँचल में; 
वो झंकार करता आया भीगा सा सावन।

हरियाली के सागर में बहते पृकृति के साए,
मयूरा की पीहू सूने आँगन को लुभाए, 
सोलह-श्रिंगार करते यक्ष तरुओं की बाँहों में  
वो सखियों संग झूले फिर स्मृति पर छाए।

झूले की मचलती पेंगो सी मेरी अल्हढ़ उमंग,
कभी धरा को छूती, कभी हैं नभ के संग,
कँही अंतर्मन के किसी कोने में सर छुपाये; 
वो क्या जाने लगे हैं कितने झोंको के पंख।

Hanging Moon

image@google

Golden past has discarded me,
luminous present isn’t accepting me,
eclipsed moon of hope hangs ofuture blind 
casting its fickle, pale glim
 upon my ravaged soul
sieved through clouds of mind.

Some invisible, irresistible wind
sweeps me along with it
to touch that ultimate horizon,
subconsciously, subserviently
like a broken, frail feather -
destined to float n’ fall in oblivion.

Still something meandering inside
cherishes flavors of yesterday,
smells aroma of benevolent today,
 senses aura of tomorrow to say-
 “fly on, keep journey alive!
under shiny moon in your way."

Mystique Neverland

@This painting is copyright of Shivali.

Where echo
deep, melodious voices
to articulate somber silence
of my forlorn existence….

Where pervade
 multi-hued celestial joys
to adorn shabby, dingy walls
of my heart’s residence….

Where flow
eternal streams of love
to drench dry, smoky surface
in suburb of my sentiments….

Where thrive
heterogeneous flowers
to fill empty, dizzy air of life
with harmonious fragrance….

Where wander
my aching soul and mind
Stepping on floating stones
in river of happiness….

I wait for you
to immerse along with me
in this dreamy, mystique neverland
beautifying all of ugliness….

New Rays


@This painting is copyright of Shivali.
New rays!!
            rays of crimson glorious morning!
            why you stride to invade my room
through junky closed door, while
window of my heart is open n' gloom....

Step in!!
step in with your majestic grandeur,
to brighten every nook n' corner.
clean webs of dusty thoughts n' values,
gathered around as unwanted performer....

Enlighten it!!
enlighten it with new warm affection,
with new zeal, with new ambitions.
spread in fresh, naive ways of life,
with new hopes, new aspirations....

Reside in!!
reside in forever; make it your home,
fearless of dusky fall or cloudy shadow.
why you retreat striking stiff door?
window of my heart is open to glow....
