Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Now that you've got, O give and go,
Bare ribs and bones you see whenso,
Spare bread crumbs, no more, ere you go,
Alms, nor aid— give as if you owe.
...

Tired of walking under raging sun
I sat under a shaded tree.
Feeling fresh, I looked when at heaven,
I heard the tree talking to me:
...

When not a leaf moveth sans His will,
Man struggles taming a sprawling hill,
And He smiles a known smile
Rare still in a long mile:
...

You might perchance think: why this change of face,
But things do change. Notso be from change free.
Give me one chance; he pleaded, just one grace;
Unable to think of life without me,
...

And when I wake up and see
World no more exists for me,
If there's in life no Maya,
I'd wonder if maza in life aaya!
...

As given with great fuss it once came,
With any a name though I'd be same.
Now in course of long time
Wonder, if worth a dime,
...

Tad with a sorcerer's illusion
Here comes truth, dappled its dimension,
That can be dispensed with
Like an old man's tired teeth.
...

The spark supreme when spells,
Deep within when it dwells,
Let it grow,
Let it flow,
...

Suppose you laugh aloud or just smile
Happiness it is your very own,
If you make an unknown sad face smile
Joy and bliss of yours has greater grown.
...

Let the lamp lit by me, my friend
Brighten up your life's troubling dark,
Let sun shine from behind a bend
O leaving out its scorching ark;
...
