LOST IN THE POINTLESS

Seasons have changed

Time has gone by

Words have rotten

The heart has become stale

Lost in the pointless 

My empty soul!

WASTING WORDS

Time is running out

Life is ebbing away

A lifetime lost in hurry

In this race towards death

The heretic says!  

Why waste words! 

BIRD-LESS WRITHINGS

The bird of the past has flown

The bird of the future is an illusion

Alone now!

No bird in hand

No bird in the sky

Feeding on my rotting heart

The worms within writhe! 

FIVE MINUTES TO ETERNITY

Five minutes to eternity

The clock stands still

Time is frozen

My thoughts too

As frosted fingers reach out

And my thawed heart gives in

A Smile is what breaks free

STARLESS NIGHT

Another starless night

Long dark and lonely

Staring blankly back into my eyes

Restless as I roll in anticipation

For death, dawn; or either

Oh let one of these

Stop this pointless ticking clock!

HERE AND NOW

Happiness is here and now

And here and now is bliss!

The winds of thoughts may sway you to the future

And clouds of uncertainty may rain

But all of that is an illusion!

All of that is untrue!

For Happiness is here and now

And this Happiness is bliss!

Rusty anchors of the past may drag you with regret and sorrow

And chains of attachment may pull you down

But all of that is an illusion

All of that that is untrue

For, happiness is here and now

And here and now is bliss!

MILLION SPRINGS TO BREAK FREE

A million springs under the sun have passed

Yet my feet are frozen in the morgue of  the past

A thousand moons have arced across the nightly sky

Yet my lonesome sky is never clear

A hundred monsoons have showered and gone

Yet my minds garden is still barren

Oh! How much more must my lost soul wait!

Until its time to break 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 !

FOOTSTEPS ON WET CONCRETE

Footsteps on wet concrete

Fixed in time, never to retreat

Random thoughts, carved in stone

Of love and life; and, heart and bone

The changing face of the aging clock

 As moments crumble on striking rock

Plow or toil; strive or climb

But can it change the arrow of time?

Footsteps on wet concrete

Isn't  life just a one way street?

ALL IN MOMENT

The Sun’s rising and the stars shining

It’s all in a moment  

 

Birth, death and happiness

It’s all in a moment

Eyes meeting in soulful union

And helpless hearts broken in separation

It’s all in a moment

All your love and hope, and precious memory

And even your pain, and misery  

It’s all in a moment

The first kiss, and the last one too

It’s all in a moment

Belief, trust and heartfelt prayers

It’s all in a moment

Experience and existence

And the root of all sentience

It’s all in a moment

So don’t be caught in hatred or self delusion

Be compassionate and relish every moment

As, all is in the moment

Living  life, from moment to moment

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Watching and waiting and calming the mind

Living the day and leaving worries behind

Its no sad day, nor a bad day

When life is lived, one day at a time 

 Troubles vanish like bubbles

 And happiness  grows and doubles

When life is lived, one day at a time

The chains of the past don’t shackle you

And the whilrlwinds of the future don’t detour you

When life is lived one day at a time

The grass is greener; and the sky bluer

And love is all around

When life is lived, one day at a time

So live the day and leave your worries behind

Live your life, one day at a time
