Vachaspati Dwivedi Poems

Life is no sanctuary
Of desire and fulfillment
Each day extends
Vagaries of nothingness
...

Pulling, pushing the weight of life
Through the years,
I reached the crossroads…
...

Dressings, bitter and sweet
Sour and stale
Bright and dim
Perplexing and dazzling
...

“India is shining! ”
“India is incredible! ”
“Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan! ”
Nice slogans indeed!
...

My father once said...
There were leaders and people
Forced in slavery
Doing Satyagraha
...

I have a home in memories
Small but fulsome,
Unknown, but near to my self
Where I was brought up in half clad, dusty clothes
...

The Best Poem Of Vachaspati Dwivedi

Bits Of Life

Life is no sanctuary
Of desire and fulfillment
Each day extends
Vagaries of nothingness
And I go on
Eating solitude and slow time
Bit by bit
With silence.

My walks to the beach
Brings images intermixed
The chopping of waves
The hustling of winds
Amid chicken roasting streets
And I go on
Eating solitude and slow time
Bit by bit
With silence.

I often ask,
Is it my life
For which I pursued forth?
Mind approves…
Heart denies…
And I go on
Eating solitude and slow time
Bit by bit
With silence.

My look to the East
Brings memories on sea waves,
Children, wife, parents,
Kinsfolk, friends, teachers…
Inheriting a loss,
I go on
Eating solitude and slow time
Bit by bit
With silence.
