EMBRACING GLOW


Up in the heavens



The clouds part



The full moon glows



Down below



As the cool breeze blows


Two hearts embrace in a smile 

OLD MAN'S CLOTHES

Not very long ago

When the sun was younger

And the sky was bluer

My heart was full

My spirit was  free

But then;

All in a  snap 

Thirty years have gone by now

Things and life have changed

My hairs are grey

My eyes are colder

I wear an old man’s clothes

My  bones creek

I tremble as I speak

Its too  late I know

Soon I  too must go  

But my heart still yearns to stay!

As the morning sun rises to greet me

And I live to see another day

I rejoice in grateful  silence !







BIRTHDAY FOOL



One day I am born





Another I die





Hours, day, months  years






Only fools count this way  ! 











DARK FOREST


The morning sunrise brings no joy any more


The birds song is mere noise


As I wake up each day


My heart is sore


My soul in wounded


I wish I was not born at all !


I had  once found  the ultimate truth in everything


Now I’m lost it in this dark  forest of thoughts and feelings


As I wander  as a stranger in my very own mind


Tell me oh Lord!



What has become of me ! 


SUDDEN THOUGHT



Who am I


Why am I  here


I think  !


But then! 


Suddenly! 


The wind blows


The branches sway



The mynah flies away! 




CRIMSON WISH

Crimson petals of the shady gulmohar

Adorn the summer tree line

Proud of its color and heritage

Basking  in the glorious sun

The petals enjoy these  happy days

But the rains come and go

The season changes

The flowers wither

The petals fall away

Risen in its place

The fruits  too dries up

And the seeds are all scattered out



Not too long since these flow of changes

Beginning from scattered seeds in a distant land

 A new forest is born

New trees, new life!

Among this new tree line

Another the crimson flower blossoms !

Proudly swaying in the summer breeze

Basking in joy  of self glory

Still happily wishing

Forever,  I  too  shall stay!
