Meditation!




Searching for peace,
Posture yogic, eyes shut.
I sit in meditation,
My soul attempting to rebut
A world full of perfect lines,
Standing, slanting, sleeping,
That form giant skyscrapers.
Dark sky fuming,
With smoggy grey clouds,
Raring to engulf human souls !

Deep in meditation still,
Attempting to block out the world mean.
Carving a niche deeper,
In the blades of grass green.
Intently exhaling the fumes,
Involuntarily inhaling deep the toxins !
Pretending now to achieve
A state of yogic dream.
Of exuberant colours,
Red, yellow, orange and cream;
Subtle alchemy to turn the air clean,
Like a mentalist working unseen.

Sudden peals of laughter from teens,
Gossiping nearby sitting in teams.
Breaking me out of my reverie,
And my pretend dream.
Of music crescendoing,
Air fresh and clean !
My eyes slightly opening
To slits that detect
Another human being.
Close by in the lanes and lanes,
Of rich vehicles parked,
A visibly bored cyclist slowly gliding.
With a yellow-red metal clamp hanging,
Behind on his bicycle carrier.
As I see him scanning,
For a car without a proper sticker
Or an out of lane parking that would excite him !

Jovially now I see him uprooting
His frozen butt, no longer sitting.
Grabbing his crab like pincers,
The mechanics of unclipping,
Then clipping !
The wanton tyre of his chosen car,
Calmly clamping.
To reach an inner peace,
His method of meditation extreme !

    Yet another well worded poem by Guncha.The topic is very current.The poem tells how a modern man finds it difficult to concentrate and meditate because of so many distractions in the present millieu.

    Nice and subtle yet every word draws a perfect picture of what you are trying to convey! The hustle n bustle around acts as a disruption!!

Morning Twilight

Morning twilight Being with the universe is a rare gift, Reserved for those that do not drift. Dare to rise before the morning light, At the dawn twilight. Before the sun rises up in the sky, To share in unique a joy. Watch the mixing of colours, On the horizon’s canvas. As the nature paints, A sensational scenery in grey, black and white, Dawdling its brush in scattered orange sunlight. Deft brush strokes pulling out some blue, From the sky to add a purple hue. Quite a visual treat it is, To see the Master paint His masterpiece! See that orange colour, Form a hint of a semicircle where heaven and earth meet each other ! See the birds leave their cozy nests, Riding on the cloudy crest. Adding sound to the vision so far created, To an emotional experience early riser is treated. Chirping and singing such natural music, Scenery just got more attractive ! Now the breathing movements get added, From the trees that open up their branches. Creating silhouettes s

The Mummy !

The Mummy Thousands of years In the twilight of history, A knight galloped Across the territory. Over the hills Across the desert, To woo a dame A beauty, to treasure. Many a mile he covered For many a day, To reach the castle The goal of his way. The hour was of twilight Exhaustion, slight Wonderstruck he stood Anticipating the sight. Darkness fell all around, The knight stood still... lost in reverie. Of the eyes he thought The musical laughter, The childish games The leaking shelter. A swift command to the horse With joy in his heart, Paraded ahead And gave a start. Amongst the ruins Of carved slate and stone, Rose a tomb On which an inscription shone; “In the memory of all those Who laid their lives To a fury Heaven had never unleashed before.” Shrieking like a madman He entered the tomb, And gazed at the corner Where a red bud bloomed. Pitchers and pots Antiques and dreams, Shining jewels And craftsmen’s seams. He stood like a

The Racehorse !

The Racehorse ! The gallant stallion, Stands his ground. He huffs and puffs, Courage abound. He gauges the distance, While he canters around. Then changes his stance, To a gallop resound. Charges ahead, Other horses he astounds. His neck moves like a wave up and down, Jockey in the stirrup stands, to help gain ground. Stallion covers such a distance, Even the jockey confounds. Leaving the grandstand spectators, All dumbfound. He gallops till the racetrack he can lead, Opponents with their Jockeys pick up speed ! With bridled precision our stallion sped, Oh ! such a thoroughbred. To think this is his first race, No frown on his forehead can one trace. From gate to the flag, Not missing a beat. The crowds cheer this Mighty beast ! Dr. Guncha Gupta 1/5/2019
