A word after a sentence kills its
meaning
A slip on top, still makes you fall
A door at the end, a new beginning
A funeral, a mere wake up call?

CELESTIAL AMNESIA
From the beginning of time, I came
into this world!
A billion years have passed since!
Yet I crave this very moment
How did I forget my face?

LORD OF THE SNAIL
Oh lord! Creator of all creatures
great and small!
Did you, with your mighty hands, twist
the twirls of this little snail?
Splendid in form and color; splendid
in manifestation!
You lead him from clear grasslands,
to the grey highway!
But was it your will; that he too must
cross?
What calciferous paradise do you
hold in store for him?
What luring treasure, to make him
slide to the other side?
You shaped his shell; so beautiful
and brittle!
But, what about the strength of the
speeding truck!
You gave him eyes to see; but no
legs to flee!
In his life of flesh and lime; you
gave him action and free will
But, what about, insight and wisdom!
As he sees his speeding fate
approaching; unable to recede in time
A beautiful life now lost forever!
Crushed and stuck to some tyre, as
mere specks of slime!
Oh lord of the snail! Omnipotent and
omniscient!
As you sit back and watch in your
glory, do you smile, or do you cry?

MONSOON OF THE MIND
The rainy soil fills the air with
the fresh fragrance of life
The birds flutter as they sprinkle
away the rain drops from their wings
Budding grass and flowers fill the
once barren fields
New formed streams trickle and hum
around every corner
As I sit here and wonder in silent
contemplation
The monsoon of the mind has begun!
MURKY MIND AND CLEAR WATER
Oh murky mind lost in self contemplation!
What’s with all of this confusion?
What is all of this inner conflict
about?
Look at water!
Look at water and learn!
Water knows no colors
Water knows no form
Water knows no exclusive right way!
Yet it fills the shape of every bowl
And flows away when the time comes
No form or path, does is cling to
No permanent stain or color does it
carry
Yet shaping and giving life!
Essence less, yet the essence of
everything!
How clear is the water!
How clear beyond all confusion!
Oh murky mind of mine, be like this
clear water
When the storm is raging and cold
rain pours
Oh murky mind! Just let it fill and
let if flow!
IN THE NAME OF THE BELOVED
In the name of the beloved the
crimson sun rises
In his name it sets today
In the name of the beloved, blessed life
is given
In his name, life ebbs away
In the name of the beloved, is love
everlasting!
In his name let me be!
THE DAY EXPECTATION DIED
The long season of disgrace and
drought is over
For today, with the falling rain
drops, a new era has begun
The flood gates of the soul have
been finally opened
And euphoric waves of joy and
happiness overflow
My sorrows drown and bliss fills the
air
For today is the day, my expectation
has died!
With expectation gone
Every moment is a blessing
Every day is a gift
Every problem is an opportunity
Hope doesn’t hurt, when its lets you
down
Love doesn’t it kill, when the wind
blows away
Oh how splendid is this life,
without this monstrous expectation
How splendid it is, to let it go!
DARK NIGHT
In the darkness of this lonely night
I walk this deserted road of
uncertainty
Dead end or a tunnel, only light can
tell!
But blinded by darkness, I stand alone
lost in emptiness!
Hoping the ground beneath does not
give away
I tread unsteadily forward
Which way this night will end; only
time can tell!
FALL FROM EDEN
From joyful fountains of Eden
I have fallen into this hell hole of
today
Oh, what venomous fruit did I bite?
Innocent I was in love and life
What wrong footed twist of fate
Has led me to this serpentine misery!
With tied up hands I yearn to
swim
While this whirlpool of my mind
churns me
Oh what divine hand shall reach out
to me?
Reach out, and raise me from the
dead!
WASTED WINTER
The silence over the hills speaks of
sadness
The cold wind over the plains, snows
down as pain
The cold winter seems endless
As my sorrow is wasted in vain!
