Ratnakar Mandlik Poems

Man is mortal and death is certain
So my beloved remove all the curtains
Hanging between you and reality
My boy mind well, it is your duty.
...

In serene guise a celestial beauty
You profess principle of equality.
Embodiment of benevolence,
At times you are cruelty's essence.
...

Riding the waves of sorrow
Gliding through imagery
In pursuit of salvation
Flies a poet's imagination.
...

Riding on the waves of sorrow and mirth
Traverses life of human if the sail is smooth.
Hurricanes n tornado with mountainous tides
No doubt to it capsize n it's doom they decide.
...

India's cultural capital n Oxford of the east
Are the identities acquired by the Pune city.
A hub of education and I.T. centre universal
Has now become once the Peshwa's capital.
...

Myopic vision on development'
Ushered in through materialism'
Fueled and fanned by egos
Of path breaking intellectuals,
...

Human conceptualized the best Polity
For superb governance, is the democracy
That ensures for every one equal opportunity
Desisting in any form rule of any dynasty.
...

Adieu 2015 and Welcome sweet sixteen
Memorable may become on planet your sojourn.
15 for a human, a ripe age for rebellion,
16 for floating or chasing dreams or infatuations.
...

The tale tell marks of beauty spots
In devastation caused by cyclones
Knocks on our imagination
Forcing revisiting it in visualization.
...

Solitude makes melancholy to you
Driving the mirth from you away,
Depriving you of the worldly joys.
You get nothing though you grieve
...
