Poem : No One Loses in War

No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet  peace  is  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet  happiness  is  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet  hope  is  defeated. No  one  loses in war --- Yet  love  is defeated. No  one  loses  in war ---- Yet  joy  is  defeated. No  one loses  in  war --- Yet smiling faces are defeated. No  one  loses  in  war ---- Yet  dreams  are  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet  delight  is  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet  generosity  is  defeated. No  one loses in war ---- Yet  tolerance is  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war ---- Yet  conscience  is  defeated. No  one  loses  in  war --- Yet...

Poem : Mother Durga Is Coming

(Photo credit Ravi Roshan,free download from pexels)




My heart whispers -- Mother Durga is coming.

So many words rise within me,
yet they remain unspoken.
The thoughts of heart
Stay  locked within.

Last time, I had wished to say --
O Mother, grant me the strength
to gift my wife a new sari,
to clothe my child in fresh attire --
But the words never left my lips.

Instead,within my heart I prayed
O Slayer of Demons,
do not falter in Your battle !
Yet even that remained unsaid.

And when You arrived ,Mother,
Your Presence filled me with such joy
That I forgot everything else.

But this time I shall speak,
I must speak ----
Mother, make me the demon myself
Mother, make me the demon.
