When the celestial music faded away ...







The celestial music,
When
Faded away in the distance,
Rejoiced the enticed Gopis no more.
The syrupy butter in the carved jars,
Crowned one above the other,
Emptied no more.
The damsels you toyed with,
Complained no more.

No more,
The cheerful cows grazed.
No more,
The animals kids chased,
Played.

No more,
The vivacious peacocks,
Plumes opening wide, danced.
No more,
The fresh leaves,
When the silent dews tickle, giggled.

No more,
The playful birds fluttered.
No more,
The delicate fishes shimmered.

The sturdy mountains,
The dense forests,
The milky rivers,
The dreamy nights,
The happy dawns,
Exists no more.

Mirth lingered
No more.
Gazes got tired
No more.
Souls relented
No more.
Hearts loved
No more.

Words have died away.
Emotions have gone astray.
Life has come to a stay,
When the celestial music,
You played,
Lingered
No more.

Freedom? What's that?



 



Freedom! 

Yes! I am free!
Free from savoring on the golden vegetable.
Thanks to the spiraling prices!
Yes! I am free!
Free from riding my bike on the roads!
Roads? Where are they?
Deep holes I meant.
Yes! I am free!
Free from stepping out of my house in the night.
Thanks to filthy eyes who nudes me then and there.
Yes! I am free!
Free from all the glitters of the world.
For they leave a  big hole in my pocket.
Yes! I am free!
Free from dreaming for my own shelter.
For I don’t understand the zeros in the crore.
Yes! I am free!
Free from talking against the Saints who rule the country.
Dare it! And they bash my existence out of me.
Yes! I am free!
Free from tensions of polling the Patron.
For they all are from the same lineage.

Is this freedom?
Then I am free!

What's that you all rally cry? 
Yeah … Happy Independence Day!
