Renewal...


One Life to Live…


Wandering in blind alleys,
As the countdown begins…

A pause…

A plunge… into Space deep and cool
Real big world than the one there out…

Discovering new regions within my soul
Exploring every bit as a whole…

…Walking on this royal road…
Bonds freed, Senses calmed…

Now

Few involvements, very few wants …
Few duties yet to perform………

Only Finales
No more Renewals…!

A Weed




A Weed…


Once
The most adorned part
In your garden…
Adding
To its beauty and life…!

Now
Only a Weed
To be thrown out…

For
Some One else

Silence.......


Silence….


They fought, they abused,
Violent …they hit, they pushed,
…They fell apart….

A deep silence in the air…
…A silence so noisy
…A silence so haunting
…A silence so deadly


Gasping for breath…. they heard their hearts speak,
…They came closer, no words to speak…


They held their hands, they hugged,
Tender… they loved, they kissed,
…They lay apart…. 

A deep silence in the air …
… A silence so peaceful
…A silence so wanting
…A silence so lively

Smiling in sigh…, they felt their soul speak,
… As Stillness endure…

*

A Silent Whisper…


Her soft cosy whisper
Gentle but clear
To drop his noisy fear!

A Dream...





An Angel …


As a lovely cool moon light
Over the sky twilight…
As if a seed of life
In a desert to be a delight…

You… came into my being…!

To give back a part of my life
Did you come to birth…?
Carrying my dreams in your eyes
You enter unto this earth…


To be a mother although
I bore you in my womb...
Caring for me all through
With me in ups...in downs...

 You indeed are a mother too…!

A Glimpse...



Love…

Feeling uncomfortable in the pompous crowd,
She held his hand…
His mere look enough to comfort her!
***

Nature…

Brand new slippers causing discomfort…
Decides to walk bare footed
And the cool wet grass comforts her!
***

A Deal……….

Then you weren’t comfortable…
Paying the amount from below the table
Now as an officer on comfort cushion… other side of the table!
***

Comfort…

Though request for pardon denied
The truth being revealed…
He felt a bit relieved!
***

Surrender…

Tensed up by thoughts of agony and pain…
Confessing to the Silence deep within
Tremendous Peace sets in!

The Tiny Power



An elephant lost its way,
And from the jungle track,
Landed up to a city road.

There he met a small puppy.
Tired & frightened, told his plight.

The puppy said unto him,
“Do not be afraid my friend.
Fear does not help us in any way.
Faith & Trust shall lead us on the right path
And help to reach home safe……
Come hold my tail, let me help you get your way.”

The courage and confidence of the tiny creature
The elephant admired….
And instantly agreed.

Together they walked on the silent road,
The moon & stars smiling at them
And showing their light guiding them!

Temptations............




Irresistible………



Tempted  to figure up
Attempted to
Aerobics…..
Brisk walks…...
Cycling……
Dieting……….
Treading…..

Loosing….. Inch by inch!

Flavour of fresh coffee…..
Richness of dark chocolates…..
Creaminess of yoghurt delights…….
Coolness of ice creams…..
Sweetness of desserts….
Takes over

Gaining…. inch by inch!

Tempted to shape up
Attempting to
Aerobics….
Brisk walks…..
Cycling.....
Dieting.....
Treading.....

An Encounter with Peace

                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                          
                                                                             Needs satisfied…



Needs…. Needs….
Needs….and Needs….
This….. That……..
This way…..That way…..
This much…..and That much
Oh………… Never Enough!

Tired of seeking
Gasping for breath
Gave up…
Sat down …..
For a rest pause!

The pause not only gave rest,
But also peace and a new direction.
Leading to the silence deep within
‘What was never sought for!’


Seeking stopped...!

PS: Having truth revealed upon, I smiled and the Seeker in me smiled back, waving his hand faded out slowly. He shows off at times but only to disappear into the Silence once again!!

But that we live and learn!

Wind.....


   
 The Wind…..



 It takes away with it a lot,

Leaves & lives - the wind aghast,

Can it bring back my golden days alas!

Search


Search


In dark
Grappling,
Eyes tired,
In a search futile,
Struggling for life,
Yearning for the light.
Still hopes alive.

Enduring...


 LOVE


Long-drives over the sea-link,
Enjoying the stillness of night….
Walking over the wet grass,
Adoring the freshness of morning…
Discussing Osho, Gibran and Tolle
Admiring the cool evening…..
May not happen again.

Encounter in the kitchen
With innovative recipes…
Chatting in a coffee shop
On world-wide topics…..
May only be a memory.


Intimate moments
In togetherness of hearts,
Listening to soft music…..
Fingers playing through your silky hair
May not be same any more.


Wish to travel around,
To be in the nature abound…..
May remain a dream.


But

Enduring shall be our love
Entwining two souls…..
Until we live…
 After we leave.

walking His way...


                                                             walking His way...



Walking on a road
That leads to Him…
...And led by Him…

Despite the pain and hurdles,

Manifests
Joy
Peace
And contentment….


Drifting on to a different path,
Wandering in search of new…

A ride so smooth and alluring,
Is only a mirage…?

Manifests
Grief
Anguish
And emptiness……..

All in mind...



All within….
     
                                                  

Manifestation of thoughts…


As
…Beautiful or ugly,
Joyous or Painful,
Pleasure or Anger,
Content or Vacuum….


Is
Perception personified


In
Stillness or Restlessness…

Bliss…..


A beautiful evening,

With cool breeze around.

Drenched in mild shower,

Greenery all over….

A gentle sun, yet to set…


An aura so divine…


…And to fill in the heart,

 Only minutes to last…

                                                                             
…There appears a rainbow.


Sight more colourful…

A feel so beautiful…


Isn’t Love – the Rainbow,

A touch of celestial vibe,

Every one of us, would love to have a glimpse of?
