Must be his Divine protocol!


I prayed God,

urged for little strength

to fight d’ adversary,

His silent nod said,

”go ahead dear,

no need to be in hurry!”
He lined up huge hurdles,

I turned weather beaten

badly bruised, baffled,

emerged tough and stern


Lately learnt, I’m a fool,

evidently lack in wisdom

asked for little sagacity,

to explore scenes, items
Ability to analyze facts,

to find out apt answer

He added up more troubles,

ticklish, twisted, obscure


I realized, I’m backward,

kept a wish to prosper

He made me recollect,

of my upper chamber
"Apply it in precise manner,

ideas to erupt on its own

work on them, evolve skills,

miracles ought to happen"


Assessed myself, too timid,

asked for ample courage

His forehead wrinkled fast,

d’ scenario he got changed


"Wish to cross crisis river,

no effort for boat or oars

find d' stuffs, row upstream

ward off current, get to shore"


Tunnel in, in d' hill of gloom

blazing light on other side

sincere attempt, locates food

in distant island, deep inside


Longed for li’l love, affection

for tranquility, mental peace

He granted stubborn persons

to tackle, develop friendship


Uphill task to win emotion,

sweet talks, never worked

each, a tough nut to crack,

make space in their heart


Lastly, a tiny bit of support,

a delicate stream of favor

nothing such ever occurred,

too strange were his offers


No single wish sanctioned,

gave a deaf ear to all

But stunned,

got, what all I needed,

must be his Divine protocol!

All lucid dreams fulfilled,

overcame each obstacle

now I am fully convinced,

must be his Divine protocol!

Its my intimate shadow


I was born a day,

and to my utter dismay,

I learnt,

I’m not born alone

with me a shadow was born,

to stay all along,

life long
I appealed it,

“leave me alone”

appeal put in deaf ears

it showed no reaction,

paid no heed,

gave no answers


Grown up now,

I shun its presence

yet, it follows me in silence
No worry for likes, dislikes,

sarcasms, it hardly mind

no fuss it ever makes,

rare to see one, of its kind
Often moves on my sides,

matching my pace

again marches ahead or

hides behind my back

I jump and dance,

if I feel free

it too joins me,

in d’ dancing spree


If I stretch hands up,

it shows same gestures

sits when I sit,

stands, when I get up


It coughs, if I cough,

freezes, if I’m static

waits with patience,

when I’m deeply asleep


If I miss it, try to locate,

seen soon, won’t hesitate

validates, it’s always there

relations with me,

yet unclear
Plays with me, funny play

fades in cloudy noon

distinct in sunny day

often so close,

again far away


If I’m happy,

it seems pleased

eagerly awake,

if I’m sick

even if invisible,

docile and my pet

warmly greets me,

when I recuperate


When my own, turn unknown,

won’t share my woe

only one remains my own,

my intimate shadow


It has no address,

neither a name,

keeps a profile low,

not bothered for fame

Not a twin to me,

no bit of relation

but when,

I’m no more there,

It’ll also be gone
