The Enthronement Of Reason
The light of intuition flickers unsteadily
Twinkling, blinking, winking and receding
Overwhelmed by the wind of reason roaring
Marching gallantly without constraints steadily.
Shadows of reason unleashed on prowl
Unbothered of others except their survival
Running wild as a hurricane without a strong rival
Blowing off the light of intuition as they howl.
The sun of intuition diminishes in strength
As the night of reason comes to the foreground
Overrunning the light of intuition to the ground
As she tramples on him stretching...
Twinkling, blinking, winking and receding
Overwhelmed by the wind of reason roaring
Marching gallantly without constraints steadily.
Shadows of reason unleashed on prowl
Unbothered of others except their survival
Running wild as a hurricane without a strong rival
Blowing off the light of intuition as they howl.
The sun of intuition diminishes in strength
As the night of reason comes to the foreground
Overrunning the light of intuition to the ground
As she tramples on him stretching...

Sailing Home
My ship is at the harbour of time
Getting set to sail home,
The breezy wind is singing her song
Ready to render her service to a friendly sailor.
The setting sun is dimming her light
Ushering in the twilight of the day
As my night is fast approaching
Where only silence would reign supreme.
My departure time is now at hand
As my ship sets sail for the land beyond
Sailing to fade on the horizon
To be seen no more by friends ashore.
Weep not, for we shall see again
In a land of light full of peace and bliss ...
Getting set to sail home,
The breezy wind is singing her song
Ready to render her service to a friendly sailor.
The setting sun is dimming her light
Ushering in the twilight of the day
As my night is fast approaching
Where only silence would reign supreme.
My departure time is now at hand
As my ship sets sail for the land beyond
Sailing to fade on the horizon
To be seen no more by friends ashore.
Weep not, for we shall see again
In a land of light full of peace and bliss ...

Her Consummation on the Pyre
On the pyre she lies,
Swaddled with white linen;
Scents of sweetness surround her
Rising to touch the sky;
They expand in their movement
Hoping to embrace this sacred space of nature.
Flowers encircle her lifeless body
Forming an aura of stillness and mystery;
Sighs and cries pervade the space
Desecrating the holiness of the silence;
Sympathizers gather to pay their last respect to a friend
Wearing their long faces with dignity and pride;
They bemoan the fate that stares them with dispassion: ...

... Different
Abilities with different capacities,
Bodies with different strengths,
Toiling with different abnormalities,
Living... with different wavelengths.
Humans with different missions,
Traveling with different momentum,
Indoctrinated with different traditions,
Realizing with different algorithm.
Humans with different wands of power,
Dramatizing with different oratory skills,
Eulogizing with different willpower,
Mesmerizing with different thrills.
Each with different perspective,
Analyzing with different...

My I is nothing
As salt dissolves in water
To nothingness
So do I vanish
Into emptiness.
As the wax melts
Before the flame
So am I transformed
In its presence.
As the river is swallowed
By the ocean
So am I submerged
Into the ocean of existence.
As all returns
To the zero point
So do I return
To the epicentre of life.

As all returns

The Message of The Cemetery
Gloomy and deserted by living humans
At this sacred ground of the non-living
I stand alone pensive in thoughts
Pondering of the fate that awaits me and all mortals,
The road to the otherworld leading to where I know not;
Tombstones, here and there, speaking of their tenants
Eulogizing the greatness of fallen mortals
Crushed to the dust by the reaper of souls.
Once living, now permanent residents at the graveyard
Morsels consumed to satisfaction by the living earth
Hungering for more to fill her churning stomach;
Graves full of human bones...
At this sacred ground of the non-living
I stand alone pensive in thoughts
Pondering of the fate that awaits me and all mortals,
The road to the otherworld leading to where I know not;
Tombstones, here and there, speaking of their tenants
Eulogizing the greatness of fallen mortals
Crushed to the dust by the reaper of souls.
Once living, now permanent residents at the graveyard
Morsels consumed to satisfaction by the living earth
Hungering for more to fill her churning stomach;
Graves full of human bones...

Alone
Alone I was born
To this world;
Alone am I
As I journey on Earth;
Alone I will depart
From this plane of existence;
Alone my carcass will be buried
To be consumed by the elements;
Alone I will face my judgement
Without anyone on my side.
