"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!

"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!

"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!

(c)2016 B.S.Saroja

"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!
(c)2016 B.S.SAROJA

"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 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.

"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
