Since childhood I was taught
Be humane; pity, console,
And soothe the distressed;
I evoked these
...
You just swiped away
The notification showing my comments
On a social media post of
One of your friends.
...
I, always, flooding back into
The creation of my memory,
My Art, perennial;
The currents of flow
...
All my Action is the dispersion of my Heart
And my Heart is the Spectrum of my Life
Dispersing always my Love for you.
...
Why do I fall apart
Always all the time
Why there be none
To stand by me
...
I don't want anything
To be deleted
Between you and I -
No chats, no memories
...

Raining Again
Raining again
In my courtyard
The dances of rain
But could not avail
This occasion gracious,
For my heart dry
Could not drench up
And enjoy this
Dance of Bliss
That rained in showers
To alleviate all the
Hot blemishes, stains of
This rugged world—
Where none is there
To lull, love and
To take care.
'We must slip away unnoticed and calmly from them who do not want our presence in their life.' -Jai Vardhan
'Poetry is just an asylum to me........ like a mother's lap..... where one weeps, shares sorrows, grief, pain and pleasures without any inhibitions.... and it gives solace to the grieved souls.... and so I love Poetry'.-- Jai Vardhan Kumar
'Something always remains beyond expression, beyond the boundaries of explanation...... Something always remains to be felt-- sometimes by our open eyes and sometimes when we close our eyelids..... and the Image emerges becomes a special one.... And when there is none, it becomes somewhat awful for our existence... Isn't it so? '-- JAI VARDHAN KUMAR
