Poems by Lokesh Umak
Grandmother and Girl
“Where are you going my sweetheart”
Grandmother said with big smile blinks eyes twice
“Just going to hang out with my dear friends” girl lies
“Be careful! Girls rather fall in love at this age”.
“I'm so acquainted with such life phase” she gave hugged and said.
“I, too, feel fall in love at this age” G' mother said
“Don't worry just tell me when! I will introduce a guy of young age… Hehehe”.
“You are the queen of big fame, guys would definitely fall for you without shame” Grandmother kissed her cheek
“But I'm afraid of broken heart women more” G' mother looked at her
“Few days left. Just enjoy that's my question. What you're worrying about”.
“You are diamond shines at night” G' mother said
“You are too pure gold always glitters in the day without sunlight” both started dancing.
The Real Freedom Fighter
Thousands of salute to the tricolour Hats off to Braveheart warriors… Lost their prideful soul for their occupation Die with a smile leaving behind on territory corridor… Work was enjoyed full not always but sometimes threaten, Carrying loads on an empty stomach for miles it was written. Phone, messaging and romance was not their job, Roaming over thousands of nights in the fog. Letter of love, affection, care with bless used to come a time in the year of their loved one with little fear, Nobody care and no matters what they eat and wear. Heart of family pounds when news comes around, Makes throats dry and sore, tears in eyes pour surround. Just a salute, is nothing for them, A day of the year needs to be celebrated for their fame. JaiHind!!!

We had five hours of journey Covered almost 150 km In three stopped by mini-bus with my office-mate People were so much funny We had hired a house in a village Slept tired after eating local tasty veg Sleep was so calm First time I had slept in the yard I didn’t need a piece of music for sleep Ocean sound took me quickly to a dream deep Early morning tide woke me fresh I turned and saw a huge sea Coconut trees had beautifully dressed Without brush and without tea In my short, half nude like a horse, I flee Necked legs had the first time ran on the shore Those had the only experience away from the office concrete floors Salty water splashed on, and upon the thighs We couldn’t resist and jump into the sea like splattered dice We enjoyed till afternoon, had seafood While return, we took strawberries And fought with a shopkeeper, like a dog rude
