Celebration Of Life: Nivedita Dinkar

Nivedita Dinkar

1. Let me go astray ...

listen to those unheard hearts ...

illuminate the darkest route ...

hear the most tragic story ...

be the combatants of the Strugglers ...

eat the ''Forbidden'' fruit once again ...

Let me go astray ...

Let me

bridge the roughest river ...

air those events which are sinking inside the earth to breathe ...

read the lonely Poems gone unnoticed ...

mother the frightened child

drink the ''Dushasan'' blood once again ...

Let me go astray ...

I want to go astray ...

2. My Religion

Living in passion

Staying with enthusiasm…

Believing heartbeats

Empowering sleep…

Imagining a beautiful frozen lake

Thinking as a morning achievement…

Exploring benefits of Black Coffee

Dance Like nobody’s watching…

Is 

My way … 

My life …

Is 

My

Religion…

3. Green Tea

As you sip

With your soft wet lips...

The Green Tea

With a fresh squeeze of lemon

And 

A few drops of stevia

Over Ice- viola!!

I imagined myself

To be a crystal clear ice

Melting

Through your lips.

I felt the warmth 

Of your lips

Drizzling

My Soul

Into

Unifying one.

4. Whispering Life

Whenever I walk through 

The grass of  Life….

My feet feel the calmness

The smoothness

And a joy within the heart 

Not to tear apart!

Whenever I fly away

The clouds of ambition

Teaches the softness

Of frozen crystals

Brings the light of Life 

And colors inside!

Whenever I dance ceremony

The rhythm of desire 

Moves with emotions

And expressions

Keeps the spirit inside

Intact and precise!  

Whenever I smile to melt

The pleasure of satisfaction

Conquers the gloominess

Brightens all around

Leaves a ray

Of soothness they say!

Whenever I touch the soul

Illuminates the galaxy

Lifts the energy

Of strength

Raising a new dawn

Which Life has shown!

5. The Complexion

Why so much hype?

Why so much hush hush?

In this unfair world...

Why is fair beautiful and not Dark?

Why fairness is a benchmark for beauty?

Why our society is obsessed with 'white skin'?

Whereas,

Draupadi, Satyavati, Kali

Or

The Rama, The Shiva, the blue skinned...

Or

The Krishna, the shyam rang...

Or

The Lord Jagannath Puri,

Who is vibrantly black...

Can ever be repainted in Modern India?

It is possible

And not impossible

If the inner darkness is cast out!!
