A Walk of Joy
Side by side,
On a sandy street,
Impressed with footprints,
They saunter along
Like owners of the way
talking and chatting
like two in a closet.
Neither young nor old;
Two adults with insight;
Mentally matured
...and emotionally stable.
Passers-by look with interest:
These two creatures of mortality:
The elderly remembering their youthful days;
The youth wishing if it were their reality.
Faces blossom with smiles,
Like the Morning Sun,
Gleaming and glowing
A joy rising from their...

Something Precious and Priceless
How can you know me?
When you are yet to know yourself.
How can you meet me?
When you are far from yourself.
How can you hear from me?
When you are deaf to yourself.
How can you see me?
When you are blind.
How can you speak to me?
When you are dumb.
Seeing my mortal self
You think you know me:
Dissecting
Analyzing....
And assuming.
I am more than the masquerade
You see standing before you
Speaking and listening to you;
I am more than the mask
Smiling and laughing with you.
I am...
When you are yet to know yourself.
How can you meet me?
When you are far from yourself.
How can you hear from me?
When you are deaf to yourself.
How can you see me?
When you are blind.
How can you speak to me?
When you are dumb.
Seeing my mortal self
You think you know me:
Dissecting
Analyzing....
And assuming.
I am more than the masquerade
You see standing before you
Speaking and listening to you;
I am more than the mask
Smiling and laughing with you.

Her Alchemical Tools
Her magical touch
The alchemical wand
To transform
My personality.
Her Succulent skin
The playground
To sensitize
My probing fingers.
Her heart
The lyre
To render
Sacred hymns
In the holy temple.
Her glittering eyes
The light
To light my path
In the nights of adversity.
Her attentive ears
The satellite
To transmit messages
From the universe.
Her enticing words
The spaceship
To transport me
Into the spaciousness of infinity.

Could I Be Yours ?
Desires well up in my heart,
Rising as water rises in a fountain,
Hidden from all except me
As I seek to be in your presence.
Your words falling on my ears as a fallen tree
Creating tremors that quake my being
That my personality shivers because of the unknown
Though it craves for closeness with yours.
This desire of closeness with you
Is consuming my personality
Eating deep into the core of my cells
That I am raving as a mad man within
But outwardly calm as if I am indifferent.
My heart is crying more than my...

A Man in Love
She dislikes attention
But her beauty causes distraction.
She runs from shame
But her intelligence gives her fame.
She talks with everyone
But leaves with no one.
He admires her from a distance
But can't give her any assistance.
He loves her wildness
But he lives in a wilderness.
He likes her friendliness
But he is stuck in his loneliness.
She doesn't notice him
When she sings her hymn.
He stares with sadness
As his case is hopeless.
He is a man in love

Selfishness Resurrected
The fire of passion aflame
Blazing wild and ferocious
Resurrecting the beast of selfishness
Entombed in my personality
Crawling out of the casket of my mind
To devour objects of my craving:
Animate and inanimate
Of which I am enslaved to.
She rises to stand on wobbly feet
Like a baby learning to stand astride
Unsure of her balance and poise
After ages of passivity and negligence.
Mouth dripping with strange liquids
Climbing down her bony cheeks
Deprived of fleshy tantalizing nourishment ...
Blazing wild and ferocious
Resurrecting the beast of selfishness
Entombed in my personality
Crawling out of the casket of my mind

She rises to stand on wobbly feet
Like a baby learning to stand astride
Unsure of her balance and poise

In The Temple of Solitude
In the temple of solitude
Dwell I
Devoid of any object of worship
But space
Surrounded by no one
Except I
Spoken to in no other language
But silence
Contemplating on nobody
But the being
In this temple of solitude
That is of nature

The Faceless Mover
At the shore, she arrives, whispering silently and deftly
With sounds piercing the walls of the observer acoustically,
Though all present watch but can't see the elusive mover
But only her effects as she rides and travels freely as an explorer.
In cloak of freshness, she kisses all without lusting
Caressing skins with her gentle touch of awakening,
Singing melodiously with her movement of grace,
And dancing and making turns in her theatre of space.
She moves and advances further into the countryside
Leaving her trails behind as she...
With sounds piercing the walls of the observer acoustically,
Though all present watch but can't see the elusive mover

...The Tavern of Her Presence
Do you want to be drunk in her presence?
Do you want to be madly in love in her captivating company?
Then, my friend visit the tavern of her presence
Where your empty cup of loneliness would be filled
With a refined wine of her presence
Made not by any creature of the plant kingdom
But by the plant of a human certified by Mother Nature;
Find that tavern where only your unquenchable thirst of liquor
Could be fully satisfied without any remorse;
Search for that living tavern
That would provide you a liquor of inestimable value
A liquor...

The Veil Lifts
Time stands still for a moment
As the fabrics of reality is pulled aside
Like a veil revealing the interior
Hidden from view
Of lurking eyes of strangers;
Colourful images of beings
In a sea of scintillating light
Emerge from the depth
Floating and gliding
In this atmosphere of splendid beauty.
Of which window
Does he see through?
Is it from the dusty window of attachment?
Or the spotless window of detachment?
Distorted images of his former perception
Crumbling on the light of insight
Like a sandy castle built on...
As the fabrics of reality is pulled aside
Like a veil revealing the interior
Hidden from view

Is He Really A Man?
Man!
He claims to be one
Yet he talks like a boy!
He has features of one
Yet he complains incessantly like a toddler!
Is he really a man
With his display of the flowers of folly?
A little setback
He moans endlessly!
A little disappointment
He curses uncontrollably!
A little difficulty
He gives up effortlessly!
A contrary opinion from another
He argues oppressively!
Hey you!
Ask yourself some salient questions:
Does being a man about your manly features
Of moustache, beard and others?
Are you a man...
He claims to be one
Yet he talks like a boy!
He has features of one
Yet he complains incessantly like a toddler!
Is he really a man

A little disappointment
He curses uncontrollably!

Lose Yourself In Love
You have been searching for it;
From age to age…life to life
Looking and staring at faces coming your way,
Asking profound questions about it:
What is love?
Is there really love in existence?
After seeing the cruelty of humans to humans and to other creatures;
Sorry, I am not here to define love,
Neither am I here to answer your deep questions about love….
What I am here to say is:
When you ever discover it;
When you ever come in contact with it;
When you catch the flame;
When your wick is ignited by it;
Lose yourself in...
From age to age…life to life
Looking and staring at faces coming your way,
Asking profound questions about it:
What is love?
Is there really love in existence?
After seeing the cruelty of humans to humans and to other creatures;
Sorry, I am not here to define love,
Neither am I here to answer your deep questions about love….
What I am here to say is:
When you ever discover it;
When you ever come in contact with it;
When you catch the flame;
When your wick is ignited by it;
Lose yourself in...
