Oh ! lovelyBeautiful smiling womenYou look like an angelExactly from my dreamsAs you touch your faceAnd brush the wavesOf the golden tressesCascading surreallyDown your glowing faceThe moving lipsAnd the languid eyesNodding of your headSo deliciously at timesAnd as the faraway lookReturns to your eyesMy heart goes rollingDown the valley of feels.©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
When I feel sadAnd too overwhelmedWhen the pain and agonyStarts reaching my soulWhen Depraved mindsAnd Ravenous wolvesStart tearing my mindAnd searing my soulI just have to lookAt your smiling faceAs you pull me snugglyIn a tighter embraceMy troubles dissolveIn the rising warmthAs I open my eyesTo a dream filled night©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Have we almost realised That We are a shameBurdening the earthWith our hungry gamesIs there an epiphanyIn some devilish mindOr a death wishFor the humankindWhat does explainThe rise of the tyrantsAnd the March of HumanityTowards inevitable decline©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Sparks of religionIn ignorant mindsHatred in bloomSycophancy is blindThe woods are readyAnd the Grass is dryFlames will rise with theWeakest war cry.Far and wideAshes will flyOn charred groundsIn the gloomy skyNo life in the endNor a soul savedLeaders and followersAll in their graves.Fires never buildFires never createFires only destroyAnd fires denigrate.
The cries are rabid,Unearthly the howls.Baying for blood,And bloodthirsty growlsBefore urging for warPlease reflect on lifeAnd think of thoseWho will pay the priceOf Widows somewhere Lonely and sad.And innocent ChildrenMissing their DadsThe uniform will travel,Wrapped in the flag.Along with his trunkFor the last time. ©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar

It is very easyTo join the crowdSafe in it’s anonymitySecure in its shroudEasy to be a partBenefits too highPrivileges a plentyAnd a share of the pieHistory is an excuseInjustice a charadeTrivial issues danceIn the carnival paradeEveryone is joiningLeaving aside their mindGluttony the motiveFor the frivolous kind©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Getting upset a luxury primeBlowing up in anger, extremely rareSmiles can’t spread easily on the faceLaughter is a myth and joy is scarce.The masks are thick hiding the selfEmotions in knots and turmoil in swellWalking along the path of lifeConstraint is now, the magical spell.
Well, when your angel is in pain and you are at a loss how to help Tip-toeing around, the frazzled mindFrayed edges, of the sharpest kindTriggers are tiny, fuses too shortPhysically together, mentally apartDaily grind has already, taken its tollSqueezed and drained, body and soulFew words casual, can really igniteA war of words and battle … Read more
