Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Happiness, ah what a fragrant smell!
Which trailing testing time,
Smells its sweetest sublime;
‘Pon taking a pill bitter as hell,
...

Soon as come you go
O Rain, be with me,
I've this quenchless thirst.

We all hail flower's beauty,
Thorn's duty the least,
And no'ne feels guilty.

She saw it as smart-fit sporty blouse,
But poor she, it drew forth parents' grouse.
When asked this was her take:
It's all for students' sake,
...

Take serpent, or mad-hat king,
A tiger, wasp that would sting,
Take a stray dog, or small child,
Or a fool far off exiled:
...

That is poetry
So sensuous,
A mere earful she
Would make a poet's heart
...

If soul a circle were
Whose fringes lie nowhere
And centre somewhere in us,
If death moves this centre
...

Some wishes reach
A ripe old age,
And still remain virgin,
Some might get fulfilled nigh young,
...

If you still like to get wet in rain,
Every bird if to you sings as sweet,
If floral fragrance is rare treat,
Talking to stars never be in vain,
...

Ye miss O mind in thine mindless vain mirth
That every shade from a rainbow's palette
Ye paint with, brightening life's dreary state,
None else but by Heaven has been added.
