Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Words are birds on wings, ideas that bring,
Ideas brought, haply they hop to wing.
Freely thence the songs soar
As free birds, words no more,
...

Words that flow forth, fount to fore
From feeling heart's deepest core,
That purest stream is poetry.
...

Many a thing he saw seemed new,
Each leaf filled with fresh new wonder,
Every cloud an envoy of rain,
This new world sure made him ponder.
...

O thou yesterday,
A stranger at sea,
Thou art my lost memory.
...

Body over soul,
No diamond, but coal,
Soul, a far off goal!

‘Pon eons of hit and miss
Nature mastered its nature,
Near perfection to reach;
But man in his foolish itch
...

First a dressing down
On a Judgment Day,
And then a new dress!

By laws of logic nor habit,
Love just happens, not can cause it.

Dwell in no doubt, listen to me,
...

Public sector's holiest of cows,
Spied when a ticket-less tiny mouse,
Said this strange stow-away:
Frequent I fly this way,
...

Haply playing flute on a river bank,
He hardly saw the king's man approaching,
Even closer as he came showing rank:
Here, brought have we a message from the king.
