Aniruddha Pathak Poems

I look at dawn's dewy fall—
Virtual pearls they all,
Nature's tears of joy!

Two birds, beak on plumes,
Soon as love consumes,
Each its way assumes!

Life and death
Tied are in one thread,
In one faith,
One each at either end,
...

Cutting to core, to beauty's barest bone,
Chipping and chopping does work a sculptor,
Probing in passion a huge chunk of stone,
Lost in deep search he's a fine creator.
...

Time's always now on a lone island

Imagine on a lone remote island,
In the lap of wilderness and nowhere,
...

Let lay wisdom say, by fate is man made,
But made he's by what his driving will is.
Tuned to desire, the will pushing ahead
To perform deeds, poor fate loses its lease.
...

Pedants fume helpless and seethe with rage,
But linguists surrender to the age,
Media always misuse
Commoners to confuse,
...

If there's in fate no victory,
Fine, let there defeat be.
If there's no light of day,
Let dark night for long stay.
...

My garden's manicured grass
Green envy's eyeballs carry,
And still seems nigh passé—
Like a lass looking dreary,
...

Tonnes of glitter and gloss gasping to race
Up the runway, rising to kiss the sky,
Lifted up but by air, pumping up pace,
Or landing else, down from the heavens high,
...
