LURING GREEN


Luring mountains of lavish green


Greener pastures of expectation


Lurking wolves and sleazy foxes


Innocent lambs grazing


Black sheep masquerading


Venomous serpents in camouflage


All for some juicy blades of grass!

LANGUAGE OF SMILES


My raving heart skips a beat


My fluttering soul hums a tune


As Love speaks the language of smiles!


My happy sky glows in the light of this ecstasy


And the flowers blossom with every hidden blush 


As the fragrance of this joy fills the cold morning air


Even as cruel Time, stops to take a breath


The “I” in me wonders

                                                           
Oh, can’t this moment last for ever! 

A SINNER'S PRAYER





Oh lord Merciful and Loving!


Savior of sinners like me!


Blessed is your glory and benevolence!


With sinful hands I have come to you


With sinful hands I surrender


Oh mighty father of forgiveness!


I prostrate before you, in guilt and shame!


As I finally surrender to your heavenly will


Please forgive and accept my humble repentance


I have stumbled again, though you have always guided me


I have strayed away, even when you showed me your way


 Yet your love for me has never changed


Oh lord! So merciful and Loving!


Show me the light of your will


Oh Lord! Creator of all that is created


As I surrender myself at your feet


Fill me with your Holy Spirit!


Fill me with your everlasting grace!

THE BATTLE WITHIN


The battle is more than a fight


Much more than to sit tight


Beyond wounds and losses, raising your might


Chewing on till the last bite                               


Curdling blood in burning fright


Holding still in an endless night


Hope is dying; you too might


Yet hold your ground, to what is right


For the battle within is more than a fight!


So battle it out and don’t just fight!

                                                                                                

PAINTING A DIFFERENT CANVAS








Painting a different canvas today



With the fading colors of yesterday


Stained faces and tainted ways


Same worn out  brushes and the old rusty strokes



Patterns of the past and waning colors of hope



Oh, what picture can you paint?



When your brush is sticky, and your colors fade! 


STRANGER WITHIN


A stranger within has woken



A stranger within wonders



One more cloud in the cold winter sky



Emotions and thoughts; feeling and action



Which one is left; which one, when I am gone?



Which one is the stranger within?

TAINTED GLASS SHATTERED


Through tainted glass I view the world


A tainted heart I see


Through tainted glass I see the sun


Let tainted colors be!


Through tainted glass I raise the wall 


A tainted life to be?


Though tainted glass may clear away


But can a shattered ever glass be?

SHADOWS OF THE PAST


The world before my eyes seems wasted


The sky is overcast, and the earth in barren  


The grass has withered and the river has run dry


The birds have flown; and all blossoms have fallen  


As the sorrow of my past casts its saddened shadow on turbulent water


A never-ending eclipse seems to rise; as darkness fills my cloudless sky 


Fatal it seems; as one more day is engulfed in this dark shadow


Even as the cowardly face of my future shies away


Oh craving soul of mine! Will this darkness ever cease?








EMPTY HANDS IN A FLEETING WORLD


Never was I born, to die today



Nothing has changed, yet nothing stands still



With empty hands I let my suffering go



Within flashing dreams of this fleeting world



Pleasant is it for everyone, when the new spring comes to pass



When chains of love drag me to my empty grave! 

















JEWELRY FOR MY CORPSE


Naked I was born; naked I shall die


All adornments in between



Are all but entanglements



Mere jewelry for my smiling corpse!
