Night's Cosmic Ride

In the tranquil night so cool and calm, Beneath a sky adorned with starry charm, Upon my terrace, I lay in slumber's keep, When a whimsical fancy roused from deep.

A winged horse, divine, swift and bright, Came galloping through the obsidian night, It beckoned me to its saddle with grace, To soar the skies, in its celestial embrace.

I mounted the steed, with reins in hand, Together we rose, to a wondrous land, Higher and higher, through the somber night, In the darkness, we gleamed with radiant light.

A horse of purity, stars our only guide, Onward we journeyed, side by side, But suddenly, a hand unknown did appear, With force it pulled me, awakening from here.

A great jerk, and my foot did give a start, I awoke from this celestial dream, my heart's depart, Oh, it was all but a fleeting flight, it seemed, In the stillness of night, a dream once dreamed.

Come back Krishna

Oh Krishna, your divine presence we implore, Reincarnate once more, our hearts to restore, Teach the world your message, pure and true, For mankind has strayed, forgotten its due.

Your timeless wisdom, within the Gita’s page, But they have chosen, their paths to engage, They've twisted your teachings, for their gain, Oh Krishna, return, free them from this chain.

Business people, from your song, drew their art, Management lessons, far from your heart, Molding your message, to fit their desire, Oh Krishna, come back, let truth reacquire.

Some glorify your smile, your playful youth, But neglect those needy, forgotten in truth, In orphans and poor kids, you truly reside, Oh Krishna, let thy compassion be our guide.

In grand temples, they sing in thy praise, But neglect human souls, lost in life's maze, You're not confined to marble or gold, In every heart, you dwell we're told.

Now, Krishna, it's time, as you once told, Reincarnate, let your message unfold, Guide us anew, with your divine grace, Reveal the path of love on earthly space.

Some distort your words, oh Krishna, it's clear, Dharma's meaning, they've mixed with fear, We need your guidance, in this modern time, To restore your teachings, in rightful prime.

In this era of democracy, we stand free, No Kauravas to seize, no battles to see, Pour your wisdom into leaders' minds, Let love and divinity be the ties that binds.

Oh Krishna, come back, even in our dreams, Illuminate the path with heavenly beams, Teach us to use your divine song's grace, To spread love and unity in every place.

~Dr Intaj Malek

Awakening from Darkness

In the shadows' depths, where darkness prevails, The story unfolds, like a tale that hails, A human guise, a crafty disguise, Victories in elections, reached new highs.

But now winds of change are blowing anew, News of defeat, a reality to view, Fear grips him tight, eyes open wide, Trembling and uncertain, nowhere to hide.

Fear's grip over him, sanity slips, Lost in confusion, he stumbles and trips, In wielding his power, rights he'd erase, As snatching away bucks, sweeping embrace.

Recall the days when money did flow, Yet freedom's dependency continued to grow, Dependent on him for every dime, A silent thread weaving through time.

He wields his power, a grasp so strong, A prisoner's fate, a captive's long song, Confined in homes, yearning for a release, For freedom and light, a desperate peace.

Oxygen's memory, don't let it fade, As power usurps, foundations degrade, Electricity dwindles, the web's light dims, Like shadows encircling Manipur's whims.

What remains but allegiance pledged, To one person's rule, from edge to edge, A nation united in one election's chime, A tightening grip, freedom confined.

The voice of the Constitution, faint and low, Lost in the haze of power's cruel flow, Justice's facade, a stone-cold charade, The Constitution's message, left unportrayed.

Laborers walking, footprints of pain, Government actions, lives left in strain, Silent the Court, what answer does it yield, Countless voices silenced, a truth concealed.

Ambedkar's foresight, a warning bell, "If wielded by ill, a constitution will fell, No matter its strength, its noble intent, Futile it becomes, its impact spent."

Truth, non-violence, principles held high, The ideals that Gandhi reached for the sky, Discarded, dismissed, no longer to see, In power's dominion, they cease to be.

Smartphones, internet, screens ablaze, A world connected, yet hidden malaise, With a single stroke, silence prevails, Truth suppressed as darkness trails.

For those who couldn't be proud and free, Embracing Indianness with unity, Ahead lies a fate somber and stark, As fanaticism casts its shadowy mark.

In deity’s name, cheers may have rung, But control lurked, manipulation sprung, A nation's essence slowly stripped, A script repeated, history gripped.

Time flows onward in shadows' embrace, A tale hidden, secrets to retrace, Let wisdom guide, let hearts unfold, Unite for justice, truths to be told.

In the midst of darkness, seek out the light, A world reborn from endless night, In unity's embrace, strength shall rise, Breaking chains, reaching for the skies.

In the kingdom of shadows, hope prevails, A beacon's flame amidst veiling trails, It's time to rise, unite, and mend, Sow seeds of change, darkness to transcend.

Echoes of Earth

Amidst nature's tender embrace so grand, Where verdant hues and landscapes expand, A realm of wonders, vibrant and free, A message echoes, for you and me.

Beneath the arching skies so wide, Where rivers weave and mountains bide, The secrets of the woods unfold, A tale of unity, yet untold.

Yet, harken well, a plea takes flight, A call to guard against the night, To shield all life, each species, kind, For in their realm, our hearts entwined.

The avian choristers and oceans blue, Whales that glide where horizons grew, In every living thread, we find, A shared existence intertwined.

As humans tread upon this sphere, Let unity and kindness steer, Cast off the shackles, fears abate, Forge ahead towards a peaceful state.

Unite against oppression's reign, Kindle the torch of love, not pain, Each culture, face, a vibrant hue, In unity, strength and hope renew.

Preserve our planet, spirit, and soul, Compassion's flame must be our goal, In harmony, our world we'll mend, Our lives, our planet, forever blend.

~ Dr Intaj Malek

A call to save the world

Amidst the embrace of nature's grace, Where sun and stars interlace, A world of wonders, lush and green, A tapestry of life unseen.

Majestic mountains touch the sky, Rivers flowing, spirits high, Forests whisper secrets wise, Underneath the endless skies.

But in this haven, let us heed, A plea that springs from every seed, A call to guard with heart and hand, For all life's creatures on this land.

Save the songbirds and their song, The oceans deep, where whales belong, In every creature, life does bloom, A shared existence, a precious loom.

As humans tread on this sacred sphere, Let unity and kindness steer, From wars and strife, let's find a way, To dawn a brighter, peaceful day.

Let's quell the fire of hatred's might, And extinguish fear with love's pure light, For every human, heart to heart, Can build a world where all take part.

Against tyranny and oppression's roar, Stand united, ever more, A tapestry of cultures, faces diverse, Let's cherish, protect, and converse.

Save the planet, save the soul, Let compassion be the goal, For in harmony, we shall mend, And safeguard lives till the very end.

Rakhi: Threads of Unity

In threads of love, Rakhi weaves its art, A festival of unity that warms the heart. Beyond mere siblings, its story does extend, Myth, history, and customs blend.

Kunti's Rakhi, Abhimanyu embraced, A symbol of protection, love interlaced. Queen Karnavati and Humayun's bond, Crossing cultures, unity beyond.

Draupadi tied on Krishna's wrist so dear, A bond transcending time, crystal clear. Roxana and Porus, united by grace, Rakhi's embrace in history's embrace.

Tagore's dream to unite the land, Rakhi's thread held in each hand. Country divided, bitter taste sown, Rakhi's power can heal, it's known.

Let's tie the thread of love today, Across divides, let unity sway. From myths to present, let's embrace, Rakshabandhan's love, a binding grace.

Ephemeral Embers

In the realm of human connections, a story unfolds where two souls, Ishvar and Ramesh, existed as one, their identities intertwined in a dance of profound camaraderie. Ishvar, a luminary in the world of learning, radiated intellect and kindness, traits that ignited an unquenchable thirst for knowledge in the hearts of those he touched.

A chapter of their story found its inception in the world of Ramesh's cousins, particularly Devaki, a vivacious spirit whose chatter seemed to paint the air with hues of life. United by the corridors of their classroom, Ishvar's presence was first summoned by Devaki, who sought his guidance in the realm of learning. She was a beacon of vivacity, a counterpart to Ishvar's wisdom, and as they navigated their shared journey through academia, Ishvar found himself entwined in the world of Devaki's kin.

However, in the quiet corners of Ishvar's heart, a subtle yearning blossomed for Devaki, like a delicate flower whose petals he dared not unfurl. His words found solace between the pages of books and notebooks, where he inscribed her name with the grace of his penmanship. Hidden away, like secrets whispered to the wind, were expressions of affection, tender sentiments like "I love you," yet cloaked in a veil of trepidation.

But amidst these hidden emotions lay a truth that was emerging, a truth that resonated within the very core of Ishvar and Ramesh's connection. They were more than friends; they were soulmates existing in a state of harmonious resonance. Ramesh's affection for Ishvar transcended the boundaries of mere camaraderie. His days revolved around the presence of Ishvar—meals were shared, conversations intertwined, and life itself seemed to breathe through the rhythm of their shared moments.

The story took a turn that was as unforeseen as it was inevitable. Ishvar, his own circumstances tethered to the fringes of poverty, found solace within the embrace of Ramesh's family. A sanctuary emerged within their dwelling, where Ishvar sought shelter from life's stormy winds. In this haven of warmth and acceptance, Ishvar's intellect flourished, nurtured by the love and care of Ramesh's angelic parents.

As time wove its intricate tapestry, both Ishvar and Ramesh found their separate paths. They created their own families, their own worlds, yet their bond remained unbroken, a testament to a friendship that had transcended time and space. Ramesh, however, seemed to have drawn a curtain over the past, his memories of those vivid days now tinged with the soft hues of fading recollection.

For Ishvar, though, those days remained as vivid as ever, etched into the very fibers of his being. He carried the weight of their shared promises, the whispers of a lifelong companionship, and the echoes of a love that was profound and unspoken. He understood that the depth of their connection went beyond the conventional boundaries of friendship—it was a union of souls that transcended earthly labels.

As the sun of their lives cast its gentle glow, Ishvar carried the torch of their memories, a beacon of their enduring bond. In his heart, he held the fragments of a promise made to Ramesh, a promise to stand by his side in the journey that lay ahead. For Ishvar, it was a promise that remained unbroken, a testament to a love that was resilient and everlasting, and a whisper of a connection that time could never sever.
