The Spring Festival – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Spring Festival

By Ashish Moon 

 

To sit on the throne of people's hearts

The Emperor Spring has come to earth

he is the heaven's love God and the Merchant of dreams!

Trees and creepers shower innumerable flowers to welcome him

The Spring festival begins in the decorated nature!


have hundreds of colours pots broken on the East market place?

Cascades of gorgeous colours flowed on the horizon!


have the trees come bathed in the fragrance?

have the trees decorated heads with the bunches of flowers?


who has proposed to this innocent gulmohar?

red blush spread on the across his face


have red Ruby gems grown on the shalmali?

have Yellow sapphire gems bloomed on the bahava?


Innumerable flowers blossomed on the innumerable vines and trees

the grass dance on the river bank is also unique


Shukra and Bhardwaj composing beautiful lyrics

Cuckoos are engrossed her melodious singing!


some gray clouds come into the sky in the afternoon

did artisans carved the marble sculpture?


have the sages of the Palas tree come dressed in saffron clothes

do they pray to God with his abhang hymns?


Birds in the forest enjoy the feast of wild nuts

honey oozing daily in hives of bees!


does the sun rain yellow gold at the sunset place?

Or has heaven's nymph Sandhya arrived in golden chariots?


gorgeous colours scattered in the evening sky!


Gods are playing colours festival in the heaven?

Or Galaxy of universe incarnated into the sky?


the Lake has opened its hundred of green eyeslids!

he behold at the beauty of nature with his Lotus eyes?


the Empress of beauty Rajni has arrived in the moonlight night!

everyone is charmed by her heaven's beauty


who has brought the Kohinoor of Moon to the gathering of stars?

his cool yellow Devine light filled in the universe!


Such heavenly spring festival took place on the Earth!

Spring blossomed the every particle of the pasture creation!!!
