NAMELESS FIRE


Alone in a crowd


As you smile in silence


Will you ever know?


What you really mean to me!


Maybe, you can see it my eyes


Maybe, you can see it when I smile


For words can never say


What I really feel!


Time has a reason


 Space has a meaning!


But only for the bounded!


Free in thought


Free in spirit


I am merely a heretic


 Unbound from convention


Untied from passion

Unshaken by suffering


‘I am’, truly free!


Yet, deep within this un-yearning heart


An unfettered fire rages


Tell me dear friend!


Will this nameless fire cease!




ONE STEP AT A TIME


Climbing lofty peaks


One step at a time


Distance is an illusion


Path, a mere figment


Destiny a simplification


Life, a foolish rationalization!  


The truth is here


Happiness is now


This moment is all there is


Oh!  Striving soul! Weary of climbing!


No more mountains; no more cliffs  



 Only just one step at a time!



FLAMING HEART


Love this deep

Love this vast


How much longer, can all this last!


How long can the universe keep smiling?


How long, can fragile threads hold its weight?


Out of nothing it came


Into nothingness, shall it not go?



A flaming heart!


Once shining and glowing !


Smothered by the clouds of time


Stomped by the boots of reality


Now just fleeting embers!


 Fleeting across the summer sky


Alive, blue and sparking!


Still keeping alive!


The once flamboyant flame of love! 


Oh! Flaming heart of mine!


Let not these blue embers die!







END OF COMPANY


Two coins! 


Shining and glowing


Together now


Going soon in different ways!


Times of fun


Times of joy


Moments of shared experience



All now just memories!  



As the wheel of time rolls on



And the Achilles heel of friendship is stretched




Oh! Will this be the end of company! 





ROUNDED HAPPINESS


Another moonlit night


Happiness round and bright


Still waters soothing


A face above smiling


A warm heart shake


A tender embrace



Oh!  Happy I am being alive!



EMPTY ROOM


The room is empty

The curtains are drawn


A lone lamp lights up my dark corners


As stillness reigns over the mind


And silence remains



Oh where did all the thoughts and memories go? 




HOW MUCH LOVE !


Running away from fangs of death

On this fatal treadmill of time!


Older and short of breath


How long will my fuse last?


No more solace in cynicism


Nothing Bitter sweet in sarcasm


The hard truth of suffering is here


Nothing more can evade it


It can crack any skull; and melt any brain


Memories and hope too,


All shall evaporate! 


The heretic says!



Oh! How much Love can save this world! 





CLEANSING MY TEMPLE


My heart is but Jerusalem!

And today!

Jesus!  The son of Man has entered it! 

Riding on the foal of a donkey! 

Waving Palm leaves for faith!

He enters my final destination! 

Hosanna be to him!

But his temple; my once humble soul!

Is sadly, now just a market place! 

Greed, desire and filth

Anger, envy and hate

Freely trade with hedonic passion! 

 A den of robbers it has become! 

Oh Lord! You have entered my heart

You have blessed me with your presence! 

Now cleanse this temple too!

Chase away my vices

Whip away my passions

Make my soul, a house of your prayer again!

Fill me with your divine Love!

Oh Lord of lords! King of the universe!

Hosanna be to You!




FIVE MINUTES TO ETERNITY


Five minutes to eternity

The clock stands still


Time is frozen


My thoughts too


As frosted fingers reach out


And my thawed heart gives in


A Smile is what breaks free







MEANDERING LEAF



Meandering in peace



Gurgling in happiness



The Clear water flows!



A leaf caressed by the gentle currents! 




I float on, in blissful silence! 

NIGHTINGALE


The nightingale sings!

The heart rejoices!


No thought


No feelings


No qualia


No consciousness



Just a magical moment! 


THE COMPLETE CIRCLE


Soaring high! With wings of wisdom!

Leaving behind the tree line of emotions


The sky of mindfulness opens before me!


Emptiness now, stretches across the heavens


Entities dissolve and disintegrate!


Clouds of tears and loneliness flee!


Love is no longer an entangling feeling!


It is the only way of life!  


Trust and commitment, like the sun shine, now glows!


Compassion like moonlight


Embraces and soothes when the sunshine fails


Happiness blossoms in the garden below


The tranquil river flows!


As time and space bring on inevitable change


And death is ever so closer


The universe within is so empty!


Life without is so full!


The circle at the end of the universe is finally complete!




TRANQUIL RIVER


The heaven is so vast

The stars, too many

The flowers are yellow

The leaves are green

Caressing without clinging

Embracing without entanglement

Oh! Tendril and tree!

Let the
river of tranquillity flow!
