Golden Memories
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
We pick flowers of golden moments
from our orchards no more
it keeps humming
in the bee-hive of our minds
golden memories irrigate the crop of today
it makes us vitalize with fragrant flowers
keep your memories safe
to vitalize the senseless life of the present
moment
Sparrow
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Sparrow
in our orchard
among the flowers
makes the nest in some corner
we have forgotten our sparrow -- our mate
we made our houses closed with air conditioners
we have no room in our hearts
she has a shaken belief
how will she create her own nest?
how will she chirp in the orchard?
be she has a dim confidence
her days will return
but when ????
Till When
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Till when will we keep on wearing masks
till when will we keep on deceiving our selves
till when will we play games behind veils
why do we want to create more darkness
to rule them all?
till when will we keep them diving
till when will keep on shedding crocodile tears
till when will we not be able to know
who is who??
Rootless
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Rootless
grown in concrete jungles
without passion and compassion
nurtured by polluted things
craving for mammonistic currency
devoid of His own love
how rootless
man is now
Concrete Souls
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
How many times have I sojourned
skyscrapers in concrete jungles
home many times have I scorched myself in
senselessness
by colliding my heart and passions
how many times have I wounded my soul
men are drinking petrol and diesel
eating their own heart and soul
is there anyone who can revive life and
who can revive concrete souls?
My Devotion
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
O! God
how much am I engulfed
in depths unknown
I have forgotten
who I am
from where I came
where I have to go
whom to call
what destination it is
no light
no darkness
silence everywhere
I devote myself to you
OM OM OM

Modernity
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Weather uncertain
always heat and no rain
scorching heat and hunger
display of money and slumber
lives like dried leaves
wander here and there with heaves
empty pitchers, ponds and rivers
manhatten vast and men clever
Tri-Colour
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Unfurl the tri-colour
with jest and fervour
thou! are not just a flag
thou! are our pride
for thou many kissed the rope to say goodbye
for the nation, for the people, for the
culture
for thou many faced the bullets in their
chests
many left their homes to live for the nation
suffered every torture by maintained their
jests
its time to remember their sacrifices and
celebration
JAI HIND
Yesterday
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
I am searching
yesterday
which has passed
lost in time
it looks it is mixed in polluted air
or scattered in new egos
this today will become yesterday
which is gone
but it will rise like a phoenix
from its ashes
Yesterday will come back
Foggy Relations
by Dr. Ram Sharma
Foggy evening wrapped in mist
on the silent zigzag way of paddy fields
walking like a heavily loaded labourer
trying to come out from the smoke of memories
we can't revive the relations with holy waters
Lord Krishna even couldn't stop the battle of
Mahabharata
relations become foggy
when words become wounds
Soldier of Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
A great soldier of strife
lost the battle of life
myriad forms in the service of mother earth
fought for nation to safeguard peoples' mirth
loved the vast ocean of humanity
lived a life full of dignity
entered into the firmament with full zeal
left the world in the hope of peace and to heal
[Note: My tribute to a soldier-- Dr. Ram Sharma]
Song of Flute
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
I want to become your flute
keep it on your lips
fulfill my age long wish
fill new life in it
sing a new song
I want to get new meaning
by this song of the flute
Blossom
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Why has the forest disappeared?
Why do the birds no longer chirp?
Where are the herds of animals?
Why does the mind not blossom?
Friends are no longer found
alone and palely loitering
beliefs have been broken
music has become noise
Be happy and blossom
Message of Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Life's rhythmic song
the more you dip, the more it is deep
You are yourself protector and watchman
Then, why don't you have a ray of hope?
Take lesson from yesteryears
Lost- found is fashion here
Happiness-sadness are companions
Don't lose heart
Work is worship
the message of life
What are you?
[Divine Love]
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
I go on thinking usually
after all what are you?
perhaps you are a song of the poet
or you are a lotus in the lake
I keep on thinking gazing at the stars
as much as I think about you
I drown in the sea of memories
are you the fragrant summer eve?
or the first sunshine after showers?
the more I think about you
the more I have you
Always Laugh in Your Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Become a star, always twinkle
Always laugh in your life
Love is priceless
Don't discard it
Don't water your eyes in every grief
If you want to divide
Always laugh in your life
Lord Krishna's Holi with Gopis
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Gopi's vivacities
Krishna's velocity
Fervour of Holi
Display of colours
Stained faces and humours
Mirth and joy all around
Colours all around lying on the ground
Singing of songs, beating of drums
Dancing of Gopis with Lord Krishna
Holi, holi everywhere with all kinds of fun
with the colours all are one
Their bodies different but souls are one
Saving Ma Ganga Campaign
My Mother-- Ganga Maiyya
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
O! Thou provider of life
Thou epitome of our culture
serene, calm and pure
engulfs every medicinal plant within it
waters our minds and fields
O! Thou take away all of our sins
Thou art not a river
Thou art a culture, a mark of respect
O! what are we doing now?
Thou art not a thing of pleasure
Thou art our treasure
kept from ages
Shiv Bhakt [Kawar Yatra]
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Full of devotion
Full of determination
Marching towards their destination
In sun, in shower, in storm
After taking holy water of Ma Ganga from
Haridwar
OM NAMAH SHIVAY
Echoing everywhere
No barrier of caste, creed or age
All are one
In offering holy water and milk
On Shiva linga
Bam Bam Bhole
Mother is Great
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Mother is the creator of life
mother is happiness of insight
mother is the stream of the Ganges
mother is the language of love
mother is the teacher of rituals
mother is the soul of God
mother, Thou art great
Wish of the Mind
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Remain invisible from me
you can't hide yourself
in this manner from me
I have closed you in my eyes
how can you come out?
you are with me in every moment
dear, then, why this distance?
my mind wants to meet you
as a fish remains thirsty
in the water
in the same way my mind is thirsty
one day this thirst can be quenched
this is the wish of the mind
O! my lord Krishna
Thou lord of the world
You
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Since you have entered into my life
my autumn has become spring
my desert has become pleasant greenery
You entered like a free flowing river
flooded me with hope
blossomed flowers among my thorns
radiated my life with love
taught me the lesson of life
O! God
You are with me
Always
Loneliness
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
In every bad time of life
in every aspect of life
in the environment of sadness
when our close ones go away
loneliness guides us from sway
in the sea of heart
by flowing as pearls from eyes
by mixing in every part of the body
in the flowing of the wind of minds
in the moonlight
makes us feel its presence
loneliness--loneliness--loneliness
True Love
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
True love
like a sailor
sails us across turmoil
a soothing balm
provides bliss and comfort
a radiant sun
fills the energy in all
True love
can't be a veil of night
for misguidance, doubts or misleadings
It is a banyan tree
sheltering all
even the wood cutter
Let's Meditate
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Why calculate materialistic loss?
Why not profit from spiritualistic gain?
No pleasure-- no gain
Care for your karma
Feel bliss, don't try to come again
Bliss is within your reach
See and realize with your own eyes
no more rat race and materialistic cries
Break this chain and feel the inner bliss
Go to Him, touch Him with immortal kiss
Thou can eternal bliss attain
No pleasure-- no gain
Hope
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
On the zigzag ways of life
Unknown and unexpected things happen
We get everything without hope
sometimes a cruel fate
takes everything away,
sometimes we find a helping hand
Then we get the real meaning of life
from good company
we get courage
we get the way of life
by hope
Seed
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
I want to sow
the seed of contentment
want to water it with love
... when the mercy of Thy sunshine
will raise us from our slumber
this seed will sprout
in the vast blue silence
it will grow into the banyan tree
to shelter tattered souls
Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Everyone likes life
Everyone likes pleasure
Everyone avoids grief
Everyone wants to live
So don't kill anyone
To whom you want to kill
is you
To whom you want to rule
is you
To whom you want to curse
is you
Today's Man
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Today's man
Why are you irrigating relations
with the blood of selfishness
....why are you growing the crop of hatred?
Why do you fill the atmosphere with the smoke of
gunpowder?
Why not create a serene atmosphere of peace and
love?
Why are you so restless in the mammonistic race?
Take rest...
Love all--- serve all
Awake--Arise
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Awaken them
who are sleeping
love for earth is disappearing
Man is launching
new rockets for producing money
Let the flower of love
bloom in every orchard
Let the fragrance of humanity
spread across the globe
Half Way Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
This life
Half sweet, half sour
soars high
.... sometimes low without glow
Sometimes fragrance of laughter
Sometimes sighs and cries
Sometimes restless waiting
Sometimes musical meeting
Meaning of a Child
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
My mind boggles
when someone calls me
You are still a child
or you are still childlike
Wordsworthian concept is
Child is the father of man
Child is more innocent and honest
than all
He is more near to the Almighty
than others
He is a true servant of humanity
Dawn
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Passing through the silvery layers
the dawn is approaching
Dust, mist and fog
is decorating it
the sleeping buds are awaking
there is the clarion call of the cuckoo
everyone is coming out
from the dreamy world
into the hope of a new dawn
Courage
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Don't cry at the trouble
It will grow double
Laugh at the trouble
It will disappear like a bubble
Don't tremble
at any time
rather tackle
with courage
without rage
Common Man
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
Today's man
has cut the aspirations
of common marginal man
he wants to grab
every penny in his pocket
he wants to run and win
the race without a destination
he just shows the dim ray
through the fog of suffering
he builds large dams
in the great river of pain
the common man
just remains a polestar
in the firmament of hopes and joys
How Difficult It Is
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma
How difficult it is
to find a true friend in this world
how difficult it is
to make true friendship
how difficult it is
to tell our grieves to others
how difficult it is
to get true love
how difficult it is
to find a true friend in this world
