Diwali Poems
Dark and starry new moon night,
Garland of bones and skulls,
shining sword and dark surprised deity,
reminds me of Kali Puja on this Diwali evening,
Flickering little earthen lamps,
no match to decorative electric lights,
eliminate darkness from the night and hearts,
arouses feeling of hope for the future in the world of darkness.
Colorful paper streamers, and sky lanterns,
homes shining with fresh paint in vibrant colors,
the beauty and charm of decorations,
makes the eyes and mind go wild with vivid imaginations.
Sparklers, rockets, spinners and fireworks,
brings excitement and adventure in the minds of young at hearts,
The appetite for Laddoo and sweets offered in Ganesh and Laxmi Puja,
starts a sweet happy new year to most of us..
Sandhya(Darkness) and Prakash(Light) make up the legendary love story,
Sandhya bids farewell to Prakash every evening with dusky eyes,
Prakash awakens Sandhya every morning with the bright and happy sunrise,
However on the Diwali night, Prakash beams with happiness from every little lamp,
Sandhya feels the warmth of the everlasting love and joy in her heart.
Season of Lights
Dunes of vapors from crackers rise,
Engulf, as odorous airs resound
Effusing joys to all abound
Pearls of gleams in these autumn nights
Adorn our lives else trite
With sparklers that motley skies
As soaring spirits of powder wander
Let us thank the heavenly might,
In this festive season of lights.
Forget yourself for others, and others will never forget you.
