OTIOSE DRIVE

Otiose Drive

The headlamp flickers; useless in the fog of confusion


 Cold and numb; the hands cling to the hopeful wheel


As the Engine rumbles and grumbles


 Scuttling across the mountain way of existence


In this otiose journey of life


My worn out tyres tread !

SCHRODINGER'S CAT


A phenomenon of paradox


Neither here nor there


Until seen otherwise


Neither dead nor alive


Wave or particle


How does your sound go?


When all I hear is your soft meow

PRURIENT FROG


Adding greenery to familiarity


In the coldness of the pond near by


Croaking aloud, croaking in the dark!


Oh insatiable, prurient frog!


Every ripple, speaks of your presence!


Every leaf, resonates of your desire!


As you violently spoil the sentient silence


What fires in your proto-reptilian mind?


As you croak away, to the urge for culmination


Croaking away  hoping for final fulfillment


Oh little frog, lost in your blinded pursuit


Did you not realize its loud consequence?


Did the confined space of your amphibian intellect


Not reveal the slithering approach of the fangs of death


Did you not know, that it’s your croaking?


Oh prurient frog! Who can save you now from your serpentine end!

CUD OF THOUGHTS


Midst the loneliness of the forest, a fatal fire rages


As the mountains and valleys are engulfed in  smoke


A grazing herd of thoughts


Caught between a flowing river and the ravishing flames


Sit still as they chew their cud !







MOONLIT SKY


The music of the heavens sings out as moonlight

As the clouds dance to the tunes of the breeze


The tress sway and the birds chirp


For today is the day; the day your Love set me free

Overwhelmed and lost in the eternal bliss of your Love


The remnants of the person in me is enthralled


And the joy filled heart in me overflows


As thoughts freeze and time stands still


In the vastness of the moonlit sky of Your Love


Oh! Let me vanish in peace! 







FADING DREAM


In this fading dream of life


Sleepless I wander


Knowing very well


He who clings to the mind


Will only rot faster!

BLISS OF PERCEPTION


Another warm and sunny day


Another one, as I’m still alive


Breathing in an out; breath after breath


Happy to be alive; happy to realize


That against all odds; I still survive


With wings of enthusiasm


And flames of passion


The miracle of sentience


And the bliss of perception


Sooner or later; as all is yet to pass


I sit here and breathe in silence!

SIX MEN IN A ROTTING SOCIETY

The eager hangman waits his turn, to pull the fateful lever!

The crowds gather around, in feverish cheer!


The guilty are paraded; naked and neutered except for their noose

The nation watches and sneers as the board beneath creaks!

As the heads of these perverts are finally hanged in shame

The legs and all, tremble and thrash around

As the six men finally hang there, limp and lifeless!

But tell me dear friend is this the end?




Six rotten apples in a failing orchard

Getting rid of them, will it save the crop?

Six black threads in a mis-woven yarn

Can plucking them, correct the fabric of society?

Looking outward, outside the window it’s easy to spot extremes! 

But who else but you, can see the rotting within?  

Blame as a game is easy; and hatred can seemingly give you a clean coat

 With Disgust you can distance yourself, and with anger let loose,

You can even bring the city down!

But this way friend, who are you fooling?




You gather as crowds, motivated by fear

But when it comes to vote, will you all still stand up?

You condemn inequality, while you flaunt your wealth

You condemn violence, while you go about your business with arrogant aggression

You condemn rape, while you blatantly pursue your lust

You claim equality for women; but you bulldoze your way with chauvinism

 Yet you condemn society; while you still live as you please

Tell me dear friend; Are you truly different from those six men?




If you can see the hurt and deprivation behind the vandals of violence

The terror within the anger; the hopelessness within   carelessness

 If you can see the desperation within selfishness; and the oppression behind aggression

You too can see the city burning! You too can see the world with Love!

Now that your heart is filled with love and compassion!

 Tell me dear friend!  Can you can see the six dried up trees in a drought hit forest

Can you see that all the trees drying! Can you feel the dry earth beneath your ground?

Tell me dear friend! What else can we do but pray for the shower of Love!

WITHERING GRASS


How useless I am, thought the yellowing blades of grass!

Abundant in form and fully grown!

Yet, I do not bear any tasty fruit

My seeds are gritty, and not fit to eat

Oh how worthless I am as a crop!

 Growing without being tended to; but trampled upon by every feet!

Today, I am left with only some aging greenery!

But tomorrow, that too shall wither away!

And once I dry, I’m but a useless stack of hay!

Worthy of only feeding the mules!

So fretted and thought the aging grass!

Before it became the holy hay on which baby Jesus was born!

So friend! Don’t you worry when you wither today!

For the petals of God’s plan will soon blossom before you! 


OASIS OF LOVE


In this life of wilderness, lurking with concealed predators  

Oh! Beloved Lord! How wonderful is the comfort of your love!


Lost and wandering, in this desert of pointlessness


In your mighty presence; I have finally found the oasis of my life!


In this magnificent oasis; the spring of love is overflowing


The fruits of joy are all around; and happiness surrounds me


In this oasis, of your glorious presence


My thirst and hunger for life has been finally quenched


Oh! Beloved Lord! As I finally rest in this oasis; let me sleep tonight!
