LAILA'S EYES

Laila!  Oh Laila !

Oh!  You have such beautiful eyes!

Which one of them is prettier 

Can any foolish lover say?

One is filled with beauty

 The other is pretty and wise

Which one is which?

Only the wise man can say! 

Inseparable; yet separate

A pretty nose; a pretty face

Oh beautiful eyes of Laila!  

Which one of you will Majnun kiss?

PLASTIC BOMBER

Neither dead; neither alive!

Yet!

Gripped by fatal devotion!

Silently waiting for the moment!

My heart and timer both tick on!

Caught between an idea and a button

As I still say my last prayer

 The fate of the soulless hangs pointlessly with me!  

And finally! The moment of!

The deafening violence!

My heart explodes in evanescent bliss

And my mind evaporates

Scattering with it my love everlasting for you

Oh my Beloved!

With splattered brains and shredding plastic!

 I finally enter!

Enter into thy ever merciful gates of heaven! 

SEEKING YOU

Seeking you!

I have given up all my hope!

I have wandered enough

Now I have grown old

Oh! My Beloved

Let me now die in peace!

CRAZY LOVER

I am no Muslim, I’m no Buddhist

I’m no Christian; I am no Jew

Neither am I lost; nor have I found the truth

I’m Just a crazy lover

Seeking my beloved

I am in Love; that’s the only thing I know!  

All you faithful can fight over ideas

But dear friends

Just let me love in peace! 

GENTLE BREEZE

Oh!  Gentle breeze!  

Tell me who I am

In and out

You enter me

With every breath 

You fill me!

You give me the gift of life!

Tell me, Oh gentle friend!

  

Sans body; sans soul!

Who am I?

PSYCHEDELIA

Rabbit is a habit!

Seaweed is blue!

The secrets of the shadow! 

Is light green or true?  

COME ASHORE

Sweetest smile; bedazzling eyes

Yet miles away from my heart

Oh my beloved!

Will you ever know the gripping pain?

 Hidden deep within this lover’s heart!  

As silent tears flow

And the waves of the unfettered ocean

Strikes the broken hearted shore

The Ocean weeps; the earth remains silent

Oh my beloved!   Bedazzling and sweet!

Will you come ashore to me? 

BUTTERFLY BY NIGHT

The butterfly is free

The cocoon is empty

Sky is the only limit

But as darkness grows

Beware!

The long night is near!   

BLINDMAN BY THE SUNSET

The sun sets over the green hill

The crimson evening is over

As the darkness of the black night begins

Alone in a corner

The blind man sings in bliss!

MRITHYU

Every moment of my life; you are so near!  

Each and every moment!

 I even feel you breathing!

I reach out to you, to hold you in my arms

But each time you cleverly slip away

Oh Final unifier of all

Why do you keep evading me?

Friends we are from birth

Why then keep secrets from me

Hand in hand; as we stroll together

Through gardens and ravines

Time has moved us even closer now

Oh Dear friend! This journey of life is getting so tiresome

And I’m wary of your game of hide and seek

Oh!  Great friend Mrithyu (Death)

Take me home with you!
