"MADE FOR EACH OTHER"

Me, a chatterbox;
He, very concise and
Precise;
A man of few words.

My mood changes
Like moon;
He is equipoised
And no extremes.

I am an extrovert
No break to my talk!
He an introvert,
Thinks and talks.

My love towards him
A chronic ailment;
My heart fully
Addicted to his heart.

He never minds
My madness and
Doesn't get irritated
With my childish acts.

He is sooo sweet
Like a small kid.
I adore him to the
Power of infinity.

Have you anywhere
Seen such a wonderful
Perfect couple
A lovely combination of
Madness and maturity?

" TEMPLE "

I built a temple
With best stones
Available and
Made it look
Wonderful by
Intricate carvings!

I thought you will
Definitely come there
To stay!
But alas! I was wrong.
I never saw you there.

I built a temple
Inside my heart
With a strong foundation
Of love and devotion
And patiently waited
For you there.
To my delight,
I saw you there
Seated on the throne
Of my heart
With your mesmerising smile
And I felt a blissful joy
Inside me.

Now, I am very happy to have
Built a real temple within me
Wherein I can love you
Without any inhibitions
And I have the freedom
To deny also.

Oh my beloved Lord,
Thank you
For enabling me to
Translate your language
Of silence and
Through that
I know myself.

" AWAKE "

Oh!
My dear soul!
Rise and run,
Murmur
To unfold the
Immense petals of
Boundless,
Measureless
Space
That has
Engulfed you.

" SUN- SEA "

Your sizzling rays
Arouse my passions
The whole day!

Suddenly,
You embrace me
With your golden rays
And I become standstill
Contented in the
Beauty of your
Profound silence.

Those eyes
Watching us
At this hour
Feel that ecstasy
Within themselves
Standing speechless
On the bridge!!

" RIDDLE "

I myself an enigma
To myself;
Feel two contrast 'selfs '
Dwells within me.

I am both attached and
Detached.
My heart overflows
With love
To all in the vicinity.
At times I feel
I don't know what
It is to love?

I get alongwith people
Very well;
Yet feel a loner inside.

Gentle and soft
In some matters;
Tough to deal with
In few matters!

I am both passionate
And platonic
In matters of heart.

Can anybody see the
Truth in this seeming
Absurdity?

" EARTH - SUN "

Eversince I am born
He is my best friend.
I cannot live without him.

He is so tender and warm
At the break of dawn;
My day will not start
Without greeting him.

He is a ball of fire at noon
When I don't dare to see him
Nor go near him.

Slowly he cools down
And give me a smile
With his blushed face!
I feel so happy to see him
And start talking to him
Through my heart
In golden silence.

Don't question me
Further than this
For it is only sweet nothings
Which we two only understand!!!

I am just a dot
Inside the universe
That has fully engulfed me!
Still I try to understand
All that with my sensitive
Thought vibration!!

"DELECTATION"

Oh my beloved,
May be,
I am not the only one
To you!
Still I feel great
To have you
In my heart!
To my delectation
You cafune my soul!

You are the apotheosis
To my heart's passionate
Sensations
That yearns to express
In different ways.

In your presence
My mind will be in equipoise
But the words it had planned
To utter, hung back and
Earthly music combined with
The divine flows between us
In harmony!!!

"MELODY"

The harmony of notes
In my soulful song
Finds eternity
In the ambience!!

"YARD -STICK"

Do not count
Our life span
By years,
Instead,
Count it with
That immeasurable
Melodius song
Of love
That we sang
All these years!!!

"SIMPLE"

Truth is very simple;
Lies need make-up!

My Lord is lovingly simple;
His praisers are not!

I hear my beloved's voice
In the silent twinkling of stars;
Whispers of breeze;
Murmers of leaves!!e

Each one is a flower
Blossomed from the
Hidden roots!!

Your divine song
Create ripples
In my heart's river and
The waves of my passion
Dance to your tune!!!
I make merry
Participating in your
Cosmic dance!!!

"I NEVER GIVE UP"

Yes, I am an woman
With rainbow colours
Both in and out!

You can't stop me blooming
By abusing,
Inhibiting,
Exploiting by
Beliefs and traditions
Combined with selfish motives!

I am an embodiment of all
That is divine!
I can create, sustain and
Love like my creator!

I can bear man's innumerable
Physical and mental tortures
And yet have the ability to
Forget, forgive and stand up
Again with a challenge!

I play different roles with ease;
Am a multi-task expert;
Can do many things
Which a man cannot do!

I am an angel to those
Who love and respect me
For what I am;
A demon to those who torture!

A man may defeat my body
By his physical strength
But never can win over
My mind and heart without
The fragrance of genuine feelings!
My mind or heart is not for rent,
Mind it!!
I always keep it with me.

I am not a butterfly to play with;
I am the beautiful flower instead!
I am very much subtler than
What you think of me.
I am the personification of love
The pure essence of creation!!

"IS MARRIAGE A BUSINESS?"

Dead silence in the bed room.
Both Suma and Vivek stood there like strangers. Suddenly breaking the silence, Suma took out her gold necklace with black beeds and a marriage badge ( considered to be sacred since it is tied by the bridegroom during marriage rituals) and her dimond ring given by him at the time of their wedding and placed it before him. This was quite unexpected and a shocking situation to him and he faced his wife with a perplexed look.

"Just because of these ornaments relationships do not survive. Our bondage is not as strong as one link of this chain. Our relationship is a very big lie. For you it was a matter of licence to satisfy your lust. But, I don't think so! For me, it is an extension of my heart's love. I cannot remain here like a prisoner and work like a maid servant. From this moment I am free from this relationship of lie and slavery".

Saying this, Suma moved towards the door and stopped hearing Vivek speak.
"Why should we break up for the problems created by a third person?"
Hearing this, a faint smile crossed on her lips. She talked to herself.
" When I am moving out, this man is talking as if he has not done anything. Since five years I am living here like a third person. Where was this relationship all these years? He is the same person who demanded lakhs and lakhs of Rupees to please his parents and warned me that nothing remains between us. Now he is talking as if very innocent. Who knows about this man much better than me? Fear of losing family prestige is compelling him to talk like this.
But I don't care anymore. I am leaving him for ever"
Talking within herself in these lines, Suma told Vivek:
"See Vivek, I am not in a position to answer any of your questions. Before going I want to make my point very clear. Married life is not a child's play. It is not a business dealing. It is a bondage of love that brings two hearts and their families together on emotional grounds. It is not a logic. Life is like a balancing scale. If you want harmony in life the two balancing plates should be of equal weight.You should balance it with love; not with money! Otherwise this would be the outcome. You are solely responsible for this unfortunate
situation. You think through your mother's brain. How can you take a firm decision when you dont know what actually you need in life? Now, there is nothing left to advice or explain.
I am capable of living on my own earnings unlike you! I don't need anything that identifies me with your name. So I have returned these ornaments. These things have value only when there is love between us. But, when it has become a business dealing these symbols of relationship lose its meaning. You are free to marry any woman who can meet your demands. Ok I am going; good bye Mr.Vivek!!"

With these words Suma opens the door and goes out without even glancing at him.
Watching this courageous act of that lady the socalled social system of marriage began to think where it went wrong!!!

"BATH OF BLISS"

Amidst heavy rain of
un-invited guests that
enter into my mind's premises
I steal few moments
in between two rain drops
that elates my 'self' to
astonishing heights!

I take a quick bath of bliss
in those blessed moments
and continue enjoying
the rain too!

The stolen moments of
blissful solitude
makes me more alert
while I hear the
melodius music of cosmos
making my heart and soul
dance to its tunes
in sublime ecstasy!

"I SING"

You are the one
for whom I sing
come to me dear
now and then!

Do you know darling
one more thing
not for flowers
the honey bee sings!

I am the melody
you are the rhythm
we both together
music divine!

Here I wait beloved
for you to come
without you, my
heart won't sing!

Please be present
with me,
now and then
World will hear our
duet song!

"MEETING"

When
the star
I was
aspiring for
descended
to earth
placing
a soft kiss
on my lips
the fire in me
induced a
lovely flame
that spread
all over
my body
making me
more and more
Vulnerable!

Wordsworth-A great poet and a Metaphysicist

The great poet Wordsworth had a saintly vision in him. In his poem "Intimations of Immortality" he says, "Our birth is but a sleep and forgetting". He is simply stating the truth so effectively.
As soon as we land on this earth we completely forget about our past. We do not have any clue as to wherefrom we came and as the time passes we forget what for we are here. We think we are here to enjoy. We indulge in material pleasures with so much enthusiasm we completely drown ourselves in worldly activities. We keep ourselves so busy, we do not have the patience to hear our own inner voice that tries to remind us about our forgotten truth.

"The world is too much with us"- It is the title of Wordsworth's another poem. The title itself answers our above concern. The metaphysical awareness of the poet draws the reader's attention to stop and think about the illusory life we are leading.

"HOPE"

Thoughts covered by fog
darkening the atmosphere!

Like a blind man wandering on
the street without walking stick
I am moving
not knowing whether
I am treading forward or backward!

It's just a blind faith
not more than that!
It may lead me to 'nowhere'
or 'somewhere'!
Let me hope it is for better!

"METAMORPHOSIS"

Change overs are very amazing!
Some visible; some invisible;
some slow; some fast!

Prickly caterpillar converting
into a beautiful silky butterfly;
a tiny seed developing into a big tree;
A seed like embryo transformed into a pretty child;
all quite intriguing, surprising secrets of nature!

Whether sweetness converted into honey or honey into sweetness or both the perceptions of the tongue?

Is that vast space within some invisible boundary or
the boundary within that space or both in the eyes of the beholder?
Or are these eyes inside the intellect;
intellect in these eyes or everything in something else which we do not know!

"TIMELY OFFER TO MY BELOVED"

Oh God where are you?
Our calls are not getting through!
You have become "not reachable" to all those who seek you.

Why are you hesitating to take calls?
Are you afraid of your own creation like our Scientist who created a gaint Robut?
Or,
Afraid of the traffic jams that we
have created all over the sky
sending our Space Jets, Satellites etc., that have blocked your roads?

I really feel sorry for you
as I know, once upon a time
you were freely moving around the sky with your favourite companions and also I remember your skype calls
with your earthly friends whom
we call as Saints.

Now, if you descend to earth
you will get confused whether
to go inside a temple or a church
or a Mosque or all other innumerable very sophisticated
new trend "Stay Homes" which
has been built exclusively for you!
Here, one more caution about our prayers in different tunes which may cause injury to your ears!

Since few days I am very much worried about you,
for I feel you must have changed
your abode to escape from our torture and must have gone beyond the sky to where our Scientists cannot reach and forced yourself to stay in a hideout.
Be careful dear,
take all precautions!
Our Scientists are very powerful;
they will manage to reach you there also!

I would like to give you one more
option that,
if you can receive my heart's call,
please try to reach my heart's station and stay there for ever
my Lord!

I hope you will not be angry on me for the lenience I took in writing this love letter and posting it through my favourite messenger Google Plus!

"DIFFERENCE"

I can drown you
by my alluring beauty
but you cannot!

You chase me like a hunter
running behind the deer.
I look like a sweet meat
for quenching your
sensual thirst.
I differ here!
For me it's an extension of
my genuine love for you
sharing heartfelt feelings
through physical expressions.
Unlike you my whole being
take part in an aesthetic way
which you don't notice
in your haste.
That's why,
you can have it with any woman.
I am comfortable only
with the one whom I love.

Inspite of darkness
I can check your feelings
through my heart
that is fully awake
at that moment.

Without true feelings
you can never reach my core
through mere bodily sentiments.

Look into your own heart
and realize this bitter fact!

"KNOTS"

It's not that easy to untie
some obstinate knots;
it has to be cut to untie!

Cutting is very easy,
but it separates.
Can be done as a
last resort.

Umbelical chord can be
severed to separate
Mother and child;
can we disconnect the
Souls that are entwined?

Like a cattle tied to a pole
limited options left.
A very tough situation!
How to free ourselves
from the pole and
seek the truth that
demands my whole being?

This supreme wisdom
known only to the master
behind this created world!
As long as I am tied to this pole
there is continuous threat
to my freedom.
Unless I am free from fears
I cannot hold my head high
and walk on the blessed
path of the divine.
No idea,
when I would be blessed
with such a wisdom!

"NO FEAR"

When mind is cool
No fear of scorching sun!

When blood is hot
No fear of floods!

When roots are deep
No fear of wind!

When intentions are good
No fear of criticism!

When trust is strong
No fear of misunderstanding!

When self-confidence is firm
No fear of failures!

When faith is immense
No fear of difficulties!

When love for life is true
No fear of death!

"ESSENCE"

Only one movement
Indivisible
But divided into two
Outer and inner!

To begin the inner
Understand the outer.
No place for reason
In the inner.

No purposeful denial
Only generosity and
Compassion.
Inner movement gains
Momentum
By imagination.

Beauty lies in
Delicious quietitude.
No words can convey
its amazing beauty.

No conflict in
Inner and outer
When
Ideas and beliefs
of outer
Understood
in the right perspective.

The perfect blend of
Visions and hopes;
Aspirations and secrecies
Creates harmony.

In this blissful state
generosity and compassion
Blossoms
Allowing the mind to
Enjoy the real essence
Of beauty!

"PARADISE"

The whole day
I get lost
In a wonderland
Where music,
Good books,
Contemplation,
Dreams and
Visions
With a cup of
Hot steaming coffee
And
A plate full of
Hot Chips
On a rainy day.
This is my
Personal paradise!

"SEASONS CHANGE"

During salad days
colourful dreams
fills the eyes;

Fire of passions get
kindled by the
touch of spring!

No fear of blazing sun,
downpour or heavy storms,
only beauty and love in
all its rainbow colours.

Mind sings like a Nightingale
during moonlit nights;
passionate emotions dances
within the heart in full
excitement;
ecstasy in the whole being;
only sparks of love permeats
in the ambience.

Slowly winter sets in,
boiling blood freezes,
snowfall turns green leaves
to yellow;
shivering in the voice of
Nightingale;
dance of desires take a
backstep;
mind slows down
outward journey and
start moving inwards.
Silence occupies mind
paving way for inner ears to
hear the melodius music
of cosmos!

Dreams turn into visions;
ephemeral desires slowly move out;
heart yearns for something
divine and permanent,
where there is no fear of
changing seasons!

Note: This poem has been published in Poets Dream community's anthology poetry
book 'Seasons Volume II' (page No.93-94)

"NIGHT JOURNEY"

Swimming like a fish
reach the inner depth of ocean
to fetch pearls;
Flying high
count the stars;
A jolly trip around
the galaxies;
Wow! What a wonderful trip!

Rewinding the memories,
awakening the suppressed
desires;
liberation from
unwanted bindings;
Play joyfully like a kid;
All inside the
closed eyelids!

Slowly play stops,
Eyelids opened to
greet the dawn;
Chirping sounds of birds
in full excitement
watching the rising sun;
mind dance with joy
remembering those
Joyful moments of
that Night Journey!

"LANGUAGE OF LIFE"

Infinity is the language of Sky;
Ascendence is the language of
Mountains;
Depth is the language of Ocean;
Patience, the language of
Mother Earth;
Breath of Wind, language of trees,
Persistence, language of rivers,
Life is the language of Love
Silent gentle smile, language of
the whole cosmos!

"FREEDOM FROM THE KNOWN"

Till now,
I thought,
I had no wings;
Just walked behind
Others' foot steps,
holding the hands of
someone for support.
I was one among the herd
and had no idea
that I am bestowed with
immense potentials.

Now I have opened my eyes
and clearly seeing everything
in the right perspective.
I am throwing out the garbage
blow out all my second hand
knowledge,
open my wings and fly!

"I DREAM"

I am a dreamer;
24/7 I dream!
I dont sleep to dream
it is an awakened state
fancy and enchanting dreams.

It is a self employment
paid in dividends of Good Will!
No boss, no salary,
no retirement!
Permanent job till last breath!

I dream of all topics in the cosmos!
Dreams of Love-War,
Pride-prejudice,
God-demons,
Demigods-angels,
Romance, foolish acts etc.,
everything seen with
a special eye!

Nobody can watch my dream!
It's purely personal!
I am not alone in these dreams!
Infinite dreamers are with me.
It's a dreamer's world!
There are no restrictions;
anybody can enter
no need of passport or visa!
All have the freedom to dream
if they dare ti bare their
Soul in ink.

"MESSENGERS"

I grow flowers
in my garden;
wherever I have space
in different colours,
shades and hues
expressing different
sentiments.
It's nature's art work
spreading the fragrance of
love and elegant beauty
around!

Like a comforting hug
and a mesmerising smile
these lovely flowers
acts as messengers of
Love and Peace.

So, I have made it a habit
to stop wherever I see
flowers,
inhaling its divine fragrance
spreading it throughout
my being with a great feeling
as though I am stowing Joy
wherever I can!
I don't know what
remains tomorrow
me or flower
may or may not!

"AGAIN AND AGAIN"

I fall in love with you
again and again!
You look new to me
everytime I see you!
Love at first sight
has turned into passion!

In all seasons
at all ages
each and every moment
your beauty shines!
I become dumb and
wonder "how is it possible?"

Radiating Sunrays
cool breeze
the fragrance of
whole ambience
bring a smile on my lips
and I end up
falling in love with you
again and again!

Loving you is as good as
loving the Master!
So I fall in love
again and again
travelling all over the planet
to be one with you
my dear!

"THIRST"

Descending
Kiss drops
from heaven
exclusively
for me!
If not
I would be
transformed
into a desert!

Show mercy
my dear clouds
make me shy
fully drenched
by your
heavy downpour of
passionate
Kisses!

"EARTH-MOON"

Have you any idea
how much I miss you?
Just by thinking that
you are there
doesn't satisfy me!
Your absence makes me
tense with scary thoughts.
Sometimes fans my love
yearning for your presence.
Without you sky doesn't
interest me!
My eyes try to reach you
pushing aside the clouds!
You don't understand all this
as you can see me
moving stealthily behind
the silver clouds
with a mischievous smile
on your lips!
I don't blame you
for this miserable situation
since it is my creation!

"I AM UNIQUE"

I may not be an achiever
May not be a celebrity
May be insignificant
When compared to others!

But I am not that small
To go un-noticed!
I too leave my foot prints
On the sand of life!

I have a unique place
In this vast universe
Whether noticed or not!

"RIGHT ATTITUDE"

True
Past moments
Cannot be regained
But
Can be recorded
By just a click
To cherish later!

True
Life in itself
Does not promise
Colourful days!
But
One strong decision
Can offer an
Entirely different life!

True
Lips can't smile
When heart is broken
But
A smile on the lips
Challenging the
Effect of hurt says
Unspoken confidence
In the self!

Thursday 15 September 2016

"INTROSPECTION"

I am not afraid of darkness
For I always keep my
Inner torch on!

I have full faith in my beloved
He will never allow me to fall!

If somebody is not okay with me
It's alright,
For I am used to such rejections!

I have not loved anybody
Expecting something in return!

I am love!
Loving comes naturally to me!
If by letting go
Someone will be happy
I am the first person
To do so!

But one thing is sure,
If I feel someone is hurt
I try, try, try again to
Make sure
I am not the cause!

"PARALLEL LINES"

The door to the past
Is locked
No key available
To unlock!

The door to the unknown
Is also locked
I cannot look beyond!

Past and the unknown
Never meet
They are parallel to each other
No act can bring them together!

No path in the vicinity
Nor a bridge to cross
Over it!

For that infinity to be
Past has to cease!

"WHY?"

She, a 'Touch me not' lady!
Her leaves shrink by touch!

An introvert,
She loves her own
Little world of lonliness
Aloof and alone.

Silence is her language
Always in a meditative state
Like a hermit.

Nothing excites her
Except her imaginative
Fantasy world!

Don't think
She has not let
Anyone into her confidence!
Unfortunately
All of them have proved
Themselves to make her realize
Why she should live like a
"Touch me not" plant!

"ONE"

Mind yearns
Heart beats
One with your
Immensity,
Any need for words?

Intensity of feelings
Same with both
Any need for make-up
To hide flaws or blemishes?

Simple, silent beauty
Ornament in itself
Happy and contented!

Spirits mate in
Void and null;
Ecstasy of wonderful
Moments of oneness;
Divine bliss within!

"TRANSFORMATION"

The teachers who made me
look beautiful has to be
remembered with gratitude!

I learnt life lessons from them
on how to kill my feelings,
how to bury my hopes
without giving a damn for
my aspirations.
I bent and bent till the floor level
and stopped bending,
stood erect,
prepared a projected Balance sheet of my dreams and
missions in life.

I transformed into a butterfly
enjoying in the garden of
flowers.

The torrent of torture stopped
intruders not in the vicinity!
Now I can scan you
from my invincible look!
I can walk, run or fly
in the universe with a
pair of golden wings
on my shoulders!

"LOST ADDRESS"

I have lost my address
running hither thither
to find it.
A dingle full of direful beasts,
I am scared!

How can I disenthrall
from this dense jungle?
It's getting dark,
restless mind is in search of
a hole to hide itself.

Wow! Bright sunlight
piercing my eyes!
I am in such a beautiful valley
engirdled by effulgent empyrean!

Mind ensorcelled by its
divine beauty
completely drowned
in temptations.

Oh again I remind myself
I have to find my lost address.
Unless I bid adieu to these
insatiable sense pleasures
I may not be able to
find my abode.
I cannot live in two abodes.
One is enough!
Can anyone guide me
how to find my abode?

Neither the one who left me here
nor the one who takes me from here are aware of my dilema!
May be both are one,
I don't know!

"KITE"

I am not a butterfly to
get caught by wrong hands;

I am neither a bird to
get myself imprisoned
by someone,
nor a mouse to
get trapped in a cage!

I am a colourful Kite
flying high in the sky!
I just move with the wind
wherever the kite runner
takes me!

I am not worried about the
Price i may have to pay
as the thread is in the
hands of someone else!
I trust his efficiency
in full faith and
know for sure
he adds up my value!

"FAITH"

Fear knocked the door
Faith opened it
But found none;
May be,
Hearing its voice
Fear ran away!

"THAT'S ME"

Feelings deep
Fierce love
Laugh smoothly
Cry abundantly

Soft and powerful
Practical and spiritual

Strength my essence
A valuable gift
To those who love

No competition
With anyone
Complete in myself
Only goal
Be good and do good

You cannot find me
In my lines
For 'I' die in them.

Don't Search for me

The Ambrocia or the delight
you get from reading a good poetry can be enhanced by keeping certain mental distance.
Every piece of art is unique in itself. Every poet is a mystique.
When you read a poem keeping in mind the poet and search for the extension of his self expressions you may not get it.
If you search for the artist in his art piece you will not find him.
Because, he does not live there
he dies in them.

"WORDS"

Words may not be subtler than feelings.
May not convincingly describe the beauty of spring or
the loveliness of a flower but
it slowly filters the meaning in different colours into the mind, heart and soul.
Literal meaning reaches the mind;
Inner reaches the heart and the
Spiritual meaning to the soul.
One should have the patience to ponder over in order to get into the soul of poetry or any other art.
Effect of words slowly invokes
waves of feelings that no one can deny. They are not mere words. They merge with the flow of feelings and try its best to make an impact. The reader should have that sensitive mind to assimilate the real content hiding inside.

"SENSOR"

A very special type of
SENSOR
are inbuilt in few hearts
that can touch
the most intangible
from the depths

"NATURE'S CODE"

Sunlight spread all over
Everything looks so beautiful;
Green trees and bushes
In contrast with bright blue horizon;

Good pathway to move forward
Alongwith cozy houses
Giving a feeling of tourist home
Staying to enjoy the
Amazing beauty of nature.

Serene and calm atmosphere
Takes the mind to
"No thought zone"
To visualise something
Entirely different from external.

In the disguise of hill top
A volcano,
Standing amidst
All this nature's grandeur
Pointing the mind inwards.
The un-expressed flame of
Treasure hiding deep inside the
Womb of earth
Ready to wag its tongue
At any moment
Without a single clue
That it can swallow everything
On the outer without a trace.
May be we can call it
" Flame of new life"

"PLEA"

No ink in my pen
Blank pages are blinking

Cries unheard creates fear
Silence can kill
It's mightier than sword!

Ignorance chatters
When music is around
Music stops
When feelings die!

Just a touch of
Your kind finger
Inspires and
Fill ink to my pen!

PORTRAIT

I was walking around my house
fully engrossed in old memories
I looked up hearing some sound
and there I saw my old portrait
hanging on the wall
covered with dust.

My heart skipped a beat
when I felt like hearing my wife's
voice calling my name.
Few minutes passed in silence
as I was in shock.

Jane, my wife, my sweetheart
a very beautiful to look at
was more like a friend to me.
she loved every bit of me
and catered to all my needs
with utmost care.
she was everything to me
and I depended on her.

she loved this picture of mine
and took all care to see
that it was always kept clean.
Now after so many years
passed without her
for death parted us forever
and my life lost its brightness
so as this picture of mine.

"SWEET MEMORIES"

PARENTAL PROBLEMS

"JOURNEY"

She
Was drowning
In deep water
Of spiritual ocean and
Nobody was aware of it
She was one among common mass
They were not aware of the battle
She was fighting inside to get herself free
She never showed her inner beauty to anyone around
Only focus was purification of her thought speech and action
She stepped into the sea and started to swim
Her mind became opaque no hinderance of thoughts
Power filled within by her strong will
Focussing on the centre of maze
She swam fast against current
Nothing could stop her
From moving forward
To reach
God

"SMILE"

In a garden full of
Beautiful,
Pretty,
Lovely
Flowers
Can i make a
Foolish attempt
To describe it?
No,
My mind gets
Absorbed
Reaching a
Meditative state
With a smile
On my lips
Experiencing
A unique beauty
Of bliss!

"TO MY LOVE"

Can i ever forget the
First taste of nectar?

Can i ever stop the first
Flow of divine love
From the deep depths of
My heart's immensity?

Can i dream the same dream
Again and again?
Can i sing the same song
That i sung with you once?

Life offers are innumerable.
Can i accept them without
You my love?

Can any kind of relationships
Match with that special
Connection i have with you?
Even if it does
I don't want to lose the sanctity
Of my first love
Born from the divine source?

Can i ever leave you again?
No, for i have just found you.
My quest ends here
I take care not to lose it again.

Can i wait for you in that
Paradise of love
Where angels reside
And where there is
No death but only immensity!
(c)2016 B.S.Saroja

"Am I crazy?"

Sometimes
I imagine myself
Leaving this world
And wonder
What i leave behind!
Certainly not
My possessions
But the impact of death
That may bring tears
Atleast in the eyes
Of one or two.
Would it be a personal loss
To anyone?
Does anyone miss me?
Feel my absence?

I don't know
Why such crazy thoughts
Linger in my mind.
May be my craving for love
Not fulfilled when alive
Desperately hoping to get
After death.

Oh! How foolish i am!
All that I seek here
Die here itself.
I live or die doesn't matter
To anyone here.
When the eyes of death
Fall on me,
He takes me away
Out of pity
Relieving me from this
Dilemma!

"DRUM BEATS"

When i am upset
When my emotions
Cause a storm
Making my heart beat fast
I play with my drum beat
To kick out negative thought
Creating discomfort
Inside my only one heart!

" SMILE MY DEAR"

Yes my dear,
nothing lasts long here
show me the dimples
on your chubby cheeks
with a wide smile
so that my eyes rest
in those dimples

Keeping a long face
does not suit you dear!
I know,
you are naughty enough
to make me worried
by your serious moods.
Do smile dear
you look smart
in that mischievous
dimpled sweet smile of yours.
Please smile my HONEY!
[c]2016 B.S.Saroja

"I AM A WRITER"

I am not just a camera
Recording the moment;
I am very special
Concealed camera
That can click the thoughts
Wandering in my mind.
If i don't they make me mad
Acting like a monkey
In bewilderment.
So, i click those thoughts
With my inbuilt camera
And present it to you
After a thick make-up
By censoring, editing,
Refining by using such words
That can be interpreted
In innumerable ways
By the reader
How is it?

"A FRIENDLY REQUEST"

Say
What you want to say
Oh dear
Life is very uncertain
Time is very short
No idea what's in store
Please speak your heart out
Relieve yourself
From all that is weighing
You down
Please dear
Sing a song for me
I cherish it for ever
In my heart and soul
Please smile for my love's sake

"CLOSED EYES"

Her dreams of colourful
Lovely life
Fully shattered;
Heart now a graveyard
Of all her desires and
Aspirations,
Sobbing in silence.
Tolerance limit crossed,
Could not withstand the
Rain of disappointments
And collapsed slowly.
Now, her body
Lying on the floor
With closed eyelids
Never dare to dream again!

"DON'T ENVY US!"

We both are dumb
Not deaf!
Our eyes wide open
To grasp everything around.

We cannot talk
But we talk.
Silence is our speech.
No direct communication.
We pen our thoughts
And understand one another.

Ours is a very beautiful
And rare kind of friendship.
Our thoughts embrace,
Feelings correctly understood.

We meet in dreams
Communicate through
Positive pure love vibes.
We are very happy
And contented.
I don't think,
You can find such a
Beautiful friendship
Anywhere on this earth!
Our's a very unique and
Divine friendship!
Please don't envy us!

"JUST WORRY OR FIND SOLUTION

Beauty is born out of
Inner battle,
Not from outside war of
Hatred and vengence.

Mother earth given blood bath
By her own sons;
Her heart inflicted with
Severe wounds,
Dying a slow death.

The inferno of vengence
Reached and spread
All over the sky;
Seeds of hatred sown
All over the earth
Drying the ocean of love.

Acid in the womb of clouds
Ready to rain at any moment;
Intricacy of human feelings
Are frozen and all the
Global warming
Cannot defreeze this.

Blooming took so much time
Burning needs no time.
Flowery hearts are scared!
Tender hearts are dumb
Witnesses of violence.
Voice of warning
Dying inside the throat.

Why these perverted lunatics
Taking birth?
Only lust and selfishness
Ruling the world.

Innocent children,
Helpless women,
Old and sick
Crying for help!
Who will save them?
Can these sick minds
Ever be able to understand?

I doubt
Our life on this
Once beautiful planet
Is coming to an end!

SUN

you are the sun of my life
my own blood
bonding of souls
since time eternal.

you came into my life
when it was dark and gloomy
like my beloved lord Krishna
came to Gokula!

you gave me the joy of motherhood
and i enjoyed each and every
moment of nine months
when you and me shared
an exciting relationship of
togetherness.

it is through you, i learnt
what it is to love
the way our divine mother
loves us.

when our fingers knitted together
i felt an extra power
entering into my body.
Now you are grown up, but
still you are that same
little cute child with
shining bright eyes.

You are fulfilling all my
hopes and aspirations dear!
i am blessed to have a son
like you my dear.
i pray God to shower his
best blessings throughout
your life!

"HELL"

I am not a beauty nor
An elegant piece of art!

I cannot thrill anyone like a
Sunday dawn nor make
Anyone feel the ecstasy to yearn
For a never ending night!

My heart is bleeding by
Cruel gunshots of violence
And broken into multiple
Pieces of glass by invaders!

I don't find any excitement
In the wrestling of bodies;
My bones just crack!
I feel awkward at such moments
And i apologise.

I dont find any connectivity
Among people surrounding me
And long for something
That i never get.

There is no cool breeze
Under my skin,
Only dizzy storms;
There is no play of light
Nor kissing of rain drops
You can just hear the
Moaning of my aching heart.

"BEING ONE"

In the middle of the night
My eyes wide open
Feel your presence near me.
I look around to see you
But find no one there.
I can hear your whisper
Repeating my name but
My eyes cannot reach you.
Thoughts like humming bees
Linger in my mind
Which is fully awake by now.
I close my eyelids and
Try to feel your presence.
Closed eyelids, wandering thoughts circle around you
Making me more n more anxious.
Slowly i realise that
We are with each other all along.

With or without your fragrance
Either ways i cannot sleep and
Prefer to go round the galaxies
With our loving hearts
Merged in one another.

"REGAINED PARADISE"

When i saw the waves of
Swollen river,
Running fast with excitement
To reach the ocean;

When i heard the happy song
By a cuckoo sitting on
The branch of a tree;

When i watched the dance of
Surrounding plants n creepers
Looking brilliantly fresh
After taking bath in the
Shower of rains
With a newly found joy;

When the cool breeze of red soil
With mesmerising fragrance
Showing its love by
Kissing the mother earth;

All the pains and aches of my
Bleeding heart
Slipped into the running river
Thus opening my eyes
To enjoy the present moment of
Bright sunshine!
(c)2016 B.S.Saroja

"UNCERTAINTY"

Can fragments give
a total picture?
Can near include the distant?
Yet i hold on to the little
trying to grasp the whole!
With just a drop of water
can i know the ocean in its
Totality?

I am very secure
in this very little,
or i feel so!
May be i am not certain
about anything around me.
I can dwell in the probability
theory, not certainly certainty.

I continue my attempt to
grasp the whole.
I crave for certainty
in relationships
that i can never have.
No permanency
neither in my relationships
nor my beliefs.
It is just creating conflicts
and illusions in my brain.
I have to let go these false
notions and stop breeding of
illusions.
This i feel doesn't need
Renunciation!

"FLAME"

I love you my beloved
feeling the motions of
your tenderness.
It's this love for you
has made me a poet dear!

In this strong wind of love
all my practices of discipline
has gone with the wind.
I am burning in the flame of
your love.

In your presence i am zero
I am trying to figure out
your beautiful soul
amidst this crowd.
Sometimes i get a glimpse
but i am not satisfied.

I cannot put this nothingness
through words.
I was sleeping all these days.
Now i am awake and
ready to start the journey
to reach you.

"ONLY PEACE"

I love the clear sky at dawn
who banishes
each and every cloud
from my sight.

Serene blue sky
without blemishes
so cool and fresh.
My whole being experiences
a new profoundness
beyond all thoughts
and feelings.
I dont react to anything
I find peace in that emptiness.

Opaque sky is a feast
for my eyes,
A benediction,
No seeking,
No sacrifice,
No virtues.
Abundance of emptiness
converts my mind
Opaque
helping me to receive
what that beautiful
clear sky is offering!

"LONELY JOURNEY"

Supernal pulchritude
The flowing water around
The mountain range
Creating a serene atmosphere.

Mind is feeling empty
and lonely;
Confusions clouding the mind,
Where to go?

Reached a dead point;
I am tired;
Cannot wander any more.
No one at sight
to guide me.

Till this moment
I was surrounded by
so many people.
I thought they will
accompany me
wherever i go!

Oh my God!
Now i know,
"One journey i have to travel alone"
leaving everyone,
everything
which i presumed mine
till this moment!

"LEAFY TOUCH"

My mind in quietitude
enjoy sitting
in a dim light
lonely place;
rejoice in silence
travel deep into the
inner layers of my mind
where all my
fears and joy reside.
No desire to come out
Silently i touch
a tender kiss
and leave them
to their quietitude.

SPECIAL LANGUAGE

Silence
a classic poetry
open for interpretation.
It can be yes or no
very intriguing.
Define as you please.

All arts springs up from
the fertile land of silence.
Gives time to introspect
saving from the consequences
of anger and confrontations.

It reaches faster than words
Awesome language of
two loving hearts.

It is a mine of gold for those
who seek truth!
It 's awakening state of yogis.

Silence is the language of
immensity
devoid of all vibrations.

Silence is synanymous of peace
for a positive mind.
