Moss grows but on a rotting bark
While the rolling rock is forever
free
Let lightning strike when the
moment lasts
Let the silent mind be free !

WORLD OF THE TIMELESS
I was born of nonexistence; and
in non existence I shall be
No birth; no death, no truth, no
reality
All these are, but a mere play of
words
A network of theories, and a thicket
of opinions
For timeless is the world, as I entangle
in sansara
Timeless it is; when I flap the
wings of nirvana
With tied up wings, flying across
the open skies
Can it ever be; clever thought may
wonder?
But is it not the cleverness of thought
and memory that tie you up?
In the world of the timeless
Even the wingless bird shall soar
to the heavens!
In the world of the timeless
Is not sansara, the same as nirvana?
In the world of the timeless
Is not love the ultimate emperor?
Of blissful heart of mine
Let me entangle in this timeless
world of love !

SOLDIER OF REASON
Oh mighty soldier of reason!
Armour of my soul ! My minds inner
eye !
Here I am tired and wounded, in this endless , loosing battle!
While its not too late, and hope still
remains
Wake up from your rotting slumber!
Your time is less, and your life is running
out!
Your breaths are numbered, and your blood
in thinning out!
So be hasty and draw you rusty sword of will !
Sharpen it with the diamond of mindfulness!
Jump into this fateful battle!
Slit the sinful throat of desire!
And let him bleed away your attachements
Stab the selfish heart of anger!
And watch him slump into nothingness!
Burn the abrasive words of deception!
And watch them vanish in smoke!
Slaughter the overpowering army of hatred!
And capture the land of compassion beyond!
For, this is your only battle! The
battle of your life!
Oh lonesome soldier of reason!
If you win this, you shall be happy; if
not rot in vice!
For winning brings you salvation;
if not death and demise!
Tomorrow there will be sunshine! In your promise land of love!

AKRASIA
 |
| Akrasia |
Akrasia the emperor! Oh the ruler
of the human race!
With mighty paddles of will, I
strive against thee!
But your waves and tides of
passion entangle me!
Thy army of desire has
overpowered me
And left me tied up with my own
devices
Now here I am, lost in your maze of
entanglement!
Woven from the threads of attachment
and misery
The colorful coat of your desire
looks so appealing!
Yet, once worn with pleasure, your
invisible chains so powerfully bind me!
Oh wooer of reason; and ruler of passion!
The remnants of my free will evaporate
before your fire of victory!
Oh Akrasia; the emperor of the
human race!
How mighty is thy empire!
HEADLESS CHICKEN
 |
| Headless Chicken |
Helter skelter as a head less
chicken
Treading where your feet lead
While the blood is still pumping,
and the flesh is still warm
A few more steps, before the
final fall
Which way you head turns, does it
really matter
When all you’re left with, is headless
after slaughter!

THE EMPTY TRUTH OF EMPTINESS
Oh how empty is the sky when its
filled with everything!
 |
| The Road to Konya - Shrine of Mewlana Rumi - Turkey |
Oh how empty is my soul when I
see the truth!
How empty is the essence, in a
world of causality!
Oh how empty is the illusion of my
own consciousness!
For, beyond the restricted
confines of my conceptual confabulation
Lies the space-less timeless land
of ultimate emptiness
Where there is no goodness, badness or
property
No greenness or blueness or qualia
No I, no you; no permanent self
No this, no that; no separate object
No love, no hate; no persistent
emotion
No life, no death; no inherent
existence
For all there is only emptiness;
nothing more but emptiness
Oh how empty! How empty is this
empty truth of emptiness!!

BECOME LOVE
Break open the prison of your
mind
 |
| Tulip garden - Blue Mosque - Istanbul |
And free your self from your
petty existence
Die to your pointless self, and wake
up to the eternity of love
As the barriers of love are gently blown away
Feel yourself rise with the mighty ocean
Feel yourself expand and become the
heavenly sky
Feel the music of love spread her mystical fragrance
As the brilliant light of love finally becomes
you
In this warmth of this everlasting
love
Feel yourself in every stranger’s
heart
Feel yourself in every dying soul
Yet with all the impermanence and
decay around you
Feel yourself basking in the
comfort of eternity
As love is all there is, and love
is all there will be
As you break open the prison of
your mind
Become love, and become free !

ONLY YOU
 |
| The Blue Mosque - Istanbul |
I have sailed the seven seas, and
traveled across mountains and plains
I have read the wisdom of the
ages and of myriad lands
I have tasted the nectar of truth
from every flower of faith
Yet in my soul searching journey,
I did not find myself
I have looked everywhere and
sought answers from the heaven and skies
But everywhere I looked for my
soul, I found only You!
In the deepest chasm of my soul,
and in the warmth of the morning sunshine; I find only you
In every nook and every corner of
some busy street, and in the fearful darkness of the winter night; I find only
You
In the dew filled blossoms of
spring, and breezed up leaves of autumn; I find only You
In the face of every passer by;
and in every bird painting the evening sky; I find only You
In the pain and happiness of some
unknown man; and the untold sorrow in another land; I find only You
Oh Mysterious one! Words and
concepts fall apart to silence to fathom thee!
Oh master of my sentience, player
of my consciousness; doer of all that’s done!
Let my humble soul be filled with
you!
BLOSSOM OF LOVE
Oh how splendid is this moment!
How splendid is this
moment of love!
Hands in hands and
eyes embracing
Souls united and
hearts entwined
Walking in this garden of evanescent life
Here we are as buds blossoming with eternal
love
With the dew drops of innocence
And the sunlight of happiness
How fragrant is this blossom of
our love!
No worries of the falling rain or
the approaching darkness
No fear for the unknowns of
tomorrow
What a miracle is this bliss, in
this moment of love
You and I, hands in hands and
eyes embracing
How splendid is this blossom of
love!

LOST SOUL IN SELF PURSUIT
Oh lost soul! Seeking solace in
self pursuit!
How long can cunningness and greed feed you?
Oh maximizer of self and utility
Time and luck had favored you
When you picked the best of every
pie
But, how long can your wiliness pay?
Behind a friendly mask you brew
your rancid selfishness
Feeding fodder for the ears of the heretics
And sticking silent bleeders in
every back
But how much higher can you climb in
this ladder of hedonic life?
Fending the pointless bubble of
your ego
In the tumultuous sea of impermanence
How long can you float in
delusion
With only a false belief, in
yourself!
When your hands are tied and
heart is poisoned
Why be filled with so much self conceit?
Oh proud soul! Lost in the
journey of life
Is it your slyness that makes you
shy away from meeting eye to eye?
In your lost journey, will you
not drown in your own loneliness?
Will you not choke on your pride?
Will you not strive for satisfaction?
When your self-made life is only
filled with emptiness!
Oh lost soul! Seeking solace in self
pursuit
Will you not crave till you die?
