So many feelings swell up
Rising above the brink of the soul
Ready to deluge the heart
Poetry finds another medium
Flows eloquently across the impassive paper
Forever flooded with feelings
Soul within heaves a sigh of relief
For the unsaid have now found a voice

Blazing stars across the sky
Night’s come alive with celebrations
Gorgeous display across the dark
So many things do fade away
But sheer brilliance gives hope
Many dark corridors will be lit up
The constellations know the secret

As night melts into the day
Sultry darkness plunges
Into the sea of crimson tides
Arises over the horizon
Face glowing with hope and vigor
Lot many hearts reverie
Seeded deep within night’s silence
Reality of night comes alive
Morning shows the way
For traveler at the end of the day
Will retire in the womb of darkness
Now the first rays of light
Birthed from the union of two

Unleash your inner creativity
Where the mind and heart
Yearns to sketch the exuberance
Of the beauty of so many feelings
The soft inaudible utterances
Of the ink that flows through you
Becomes audible in murmurs
Louder and louder, they flow
Almost at the brink of insanity
Giving inspiration to creativity
Turmoil so revolutionary
Creativity is sometimes unsettling
Yet, so encompassing and revealing
Truth does find its way

Do not shy away
From expressing your feelings
For they are true callings
From the heart waiting for audience
Samaritans are there
In the realm of your positive vibes
Your plea shall reach
Waiting to congregate at the place
Where all souls shall meet
Exchanging each other’s feelings
Emphatic chants of happiness
Shall reverberate everywhere
Outside your realm
True callings will impact the hearts
Which have forgotten to empathize

The genesis of life
is an enigma for us
Without a beginning
and an end
Disguised in many forms
An eternal cycle
Energy of different degrees
A strong core
Holds the cycle of life
All beings pulled within
the ring of life
Force that emerge
from an unknown source
Enigma of life
We all want to decipher
None but the origins
are aware of the source

Attention pivoted on the farthest
Blurry are the things at hand
The horizon seems reachable
Near ones distances themselves further
Clarion call from beyond the realm
Here, the soul is writhing in anonymity
A void, that threatens to engulf the known
Uncertainties of the realization is real
Heart is anchored here with situation
Yet, the world beckons this soul
The traveler yearns to break loose
The farthest seems logical and reachable
Distance will be traversed through unrevealed
Journey holds key to reach the destination

Gentle breeze flows languidly
Through so many lands
Listening to many stories
Of the earth, trees, rivers and birds
None can stop the wanderlust
Visiting new places
Meeting new faces
Touching their lives in some way
Privy to the world of many hearts
With a whiff of freshness
It awakens them from a stupor
Breezes though the corridors
With new hope and aroma
Revives the life that feels meager
Gentle breeze touches the core
And changes the silent world
Give a whole new meaning
To the ones who believe in miracles
Blow away the worries
Gripped tightly in your palm
Let the gentle breeze leave you happy
With new hope to live life, freely

Words that penetrate
The illusionary world of time
Creating a whirlwind
Feelings within the words
Creates an upheaval
Time itself cannot stand still
Words have the power
To travel beyond the known
Spiraling around the core
Of the world of consciousness
Bringing the unknown
Out of the shields of anonymity
For all to savor
Poet has the power to create
From nothing, starts the saga
Reaching a crescendo
Poetry uproots the sedentary minds
To a new realm of understanding
Words that are immortal

Love yourself
To understand its meaning
A beginning
Of an eternal bond with the soul
Reveal
The true identity of thyself
Decipher*
The true meaning of love
Extend
Your hand toward love
Love
Shall willingly embrace you
Share
This wealth of love with one and all
A path
Shall lead to the one who is special
Two hearts
Where love dwells is haven
Love
Is eternal and accepts you
Cosmic truth
You become a part of it

When harsh words
Exploit the delicate mind
They lose their meaning
Outcasts among words
To destroy a bond
Vulnerable are they
And weak to the core
Annihilates the integrity
And obliterates sanctity  
Of human gratitude
Harsh words a refuge
For the weak

Our fleeting presence
Across this cosmic path
Life’s enormous
We, but minuscule travelers
Running errands
One destination, many situations
Challenges and trials
New visitors, ancient places
Unknown fellow travelers
Learning and unlearning
None of us aware
About the origins
Pursuing relentlessly
For answers that elude us
Our errands shall end
Our presence will be
Wiped away by the winds
Nature’s being
Shall return to nature
This cosmic enigma is constant

The last candle
About to melt away
Glowing bright
A silent denouement  
Flames no more
Only the soot
Remnants of life
Only remembrance

Life is but freedom
Born carefree
Simply the way we live
Nothing but love
For the beauty and acceptance
Deep within our world
We are aware of this simple rule
Acceptance, gratitude and change
Then we feared the simple
Started weaving a web of intricacies
Society was never the same
More complicated and prejudiced
Simple were looked at as insane
True love was under suspicion
Societal dogmas, mankind’s contribution
Vengeance against the tenets of life
That originally was gifted to us
Mired in numerous strings, which controls
Restricting our movement
We long forgot, life is freedom
True love is real, than ephemeral ones
We created this reality, we are in
None but us have to live like this
Until the time comes for us to break free
Go back to the unwritten golden rules
Where life should thrive
Without the fear from life itself

Let your mind settle down
Eliminate the noises and distractions
Listen carefully to the voice within
Deluged in the cacophony for long
Awaken the soul from deep slumber

Incorrigible heart
Believes only in love
Eternal flame that burns
Aglow with anticipation
Love shall redeem
The eternal belief
Heart is always right
Mistaken so many times
Heart does not relent
Incorrigible heart

There’s sunshine in every heart
Sometimes cloudy and gloomy
Days may seem longer than usual
Sun is on leave for a brief period
Heart surrounded by heavy clouds
It may not hold on for much time
Before the showers overwhelm
Parched soul and heart is relieved
Drenched heart may feel melancholic
But rains shall wash away the pain
There’s sunshine in every heart
Warmth and hope will shine through
After the rains the world is clearer
Sunrays through the prism of life
Rainbows shall adorn the horizon
There’s sunshine in every heart

As I take the steps
leading down to eternity
looked like an abyss
but as I reach the endless core
I can see clearly
the depths provide clarity
and away from time's clasps
I feel free at the brink of eternity
with closed eyes, I go down further
find myself shrouded in peace
and concentric rings of awareness
offers me a ride in entire randomness
and here, finally I find the meaning
of harmony and I feel those emotions
which I had never felt before

Sequestered stream flows tranquil
It’s journey from an unknown origin
Traveling through varied landscapes
Carrying stories from lands afar
Listen to faint murmur with keen ears
Narrates the stories from its chronicle
You, an unknown traveler, alone
Waiting by its side to drink from the stream
To quench the thirst that’s within
The contradictions and distractions
Casualties of the unrelenting world
Finally, your steps have led to this stream
It flows, in spite of the challenges
Cuts through every hurdle with resolve
The messenger carries stories and life
Breathing life with its tranquil presence
Drink from the stream, replenish your resolve
Think not of the hurdles and distractions
You are to flow through this life
Carrying the anecdotes and memories
Be like the stream, and rejuvenate every life

Being alone is not loneliness
Time we spend with ourselves
Listening to our inner voices
The symphony of the universe
So many things unheard before
A revelation to the Soul that yearns
To taste the purity of this origin
Sediments of chaos settle down
Giving you clarity and pure thoughts
Mind, heart, and soul in concord
Clearer perspective of the truth
Otherwise obfuscated by distractions

Conquer the disharmony
That creates ripples on
The veneer of silence
From the depths
Powerful chants resonate
This world within
An inspiration to quell
The disturbances
Savor the silence
And feeling of nothingness
You have emptied yourself
Of all the disharmony
Now, only powerful silence
And you are one
With the cosmic harmony

Morning’s graceful
In a serene attire
Solitary soul
Genuflects in reverence
We are travelers
Seeking refuge here
This beauty is eternal
Morning Prayer
Rings true
Reverberations heard afar
An ardent plea from the Soul

I know not
How far
My words
Shall travel
Where they
Will meet
With a similar
Frequency
And my feelings
Shall be
Deciphered
Riding those
Waves of
Similarity
Send a
Message
Back to
Me
Connecting dots
With words
Across
The cosmic
Path
One day
We shall
Meet
Through our
Words

The words that paint
Gorgeous images
A genuine reflection
Of the soul’s imagination
Poet knows the details
The authenticity of poetry
Remains solely with
Within the poet’s premises
Invisible boundaries
Cannot be breached
A world which can be appreciated
And not deprived of originality
True poets revere
Every word written by another poet  
Clan of artists is magnanimous

Drenched in moonlight
shimmering silver gown
lissome steps treads the path
lonely lass, walks toward me
dreams in her eyes
to make me a part of
the lingering sensuality
night's young and glowing
nubile heart calls me near
tonight is the night
when the stark beauty shall reveal

Love is like the liquid gold
From the soul’s crucible
Liquefied with intense warmth
For the coronation of special event
Where both hearts meet
To celebrate the union of souls
A regal extravaganza
Where passions are bathed
Covered in liquid gold

Mirror never speaks
Reflects the profound truth
Bares the soul for viewing
Feelings and emotions
Do not have a chance to hide
Mirrored and uncovered
Naked truth as opponent
Mirror never speaks
Lot more said in silence

When an illusion becomes a reality
The whole idea of existence is shrouded
In the mysterious clues we are given
Unearthed from the remains ancient
Many hypotheses which float around
Mystic lands which once existed
So many exposed to the light of day
Many more still cradled within the layers
Many interpretations, ancient chronicles
Dates back to time immemorial
Many sources and many more tales
The soul of the scripts lost long ago
None will come to know the real sentiments
Mired in the deepest secrets of yesteryear
Historians’ favorite child, philosophers guide
We can only come up with our understanding
Spend a lifetime deciphering between the lines
Many centuries of hidden anecdotes
We can only reconstruct what we decipher
We may not be close to the real meaning
The custodians have whisked away the heart
And soul of the entire episodes
Leaving us between the vagueness
Papyrus holds the words, without the meanings
Not sure of the real feelings and emotions
Maybe a rendezvous with the chroniclers
If we can travel back in time
And enter the ethereal world of these histories
Can reveal the truth and exact sentiments
Till that time, we have to live with our inferences
Maybe we are way off the mark
In a different trajectory, away from the core
An illusion we may have created form our cognizance

There is exemplary synergy in Nature
Coexistence of the birthed life
It’s a wonder for the wanderers
We try to create an imbalance
By our negligence and ambivalence
Bound and cloaked in this invisible bond
We are at risk of alienating ourselves
Severing ties with the lifeline
We cannot decipher the rich synergy
Mortals we all are, but some, lesser mortals

His feelings ricocheted
Off her world
Impaling his unaware heart

Vibrant waters
Flowing with life
Every drop an elixir
Deserts of feelings
Let’s take a plunge
Rejuvenate our soul
Drenched with vibrancy
Ablution of negativity
Taking a deep breath
Under the water
There’s another world
Vibrant waters
Shall water the paradise
Flowers shall bloom
Of hope and gratitude

Labyrinth of memories
Hue of different colors
Swathe the lonely corridor
It’s a sacred place, within
Now and then I tend to visit
More vivid portraits of the past
Present and future are lost pieces
Here, the puzzle is unsolved
Because of the missing pieces
Destined this soul is
To walk the lonely labyrinth
No road ahead, it’s a cul-de-sac

Bohemian heart
Wanderlust and happy
Knows no boundaries
Idiosyncrasies that wins hearts
Spreading love and happiness
This world’s an oyster
For the wanderlust heart

Inside the concept of time
World within this world
At the core, I realized
No relevance of beginning or end
Much we try to tame it
Time is our imagination
Past, present and future, transient
Concept of being there
When we change time after time

Life’s not an instant gratification
A tedious and rewarding journey it is
Patience is the key to learning
Life, the teacher, which shows the way
Everyday a new chapter, a different lesson
In humility, kindness, compassion and gratitude
With patience, it is an enriching experience
Hold on to life’s hand, trust a rewarding journey

Dizzying heights
This soul has scaled
Pinnacle of glory
Euphoric moment
Kissing the softness
Sky is the limit
But this passion
To reach beyond
And touch the depths
In-between this journey
Much is revealed
Soul is testimony
To the eternal journey
And the zeal to win

The night’s silent and sedated
Clear sky lit with starry delights
Another night to contemplate
Among the trees, and fireflies
Dancing in ecstasy, to celebrate
I stare at the immense darkness
Solitary soul, seeking many answers
Silence of night gives me cover
Feelings which have been forgotten
Now make way from heart’s corner
Urging me to shape them with words
There lay few scraps of paper
Staring at me with anticipation
Anytime soon, I may invade their void
Flowing emotions shall stall there
They will leave me and poetry be birthed
Thus, the silent night, urged me to write

Words become immortal
Wrapped in the poet’s feelings
Magic spell of the beautiful soul
Weaves a mesmerizing aura
Fleeting moments of brilliance
Leaves everyone enchanted
Intricate display of inner beauty
A glimpse of the immortal world

The infinite light
Find its way
Through my window
To the soul
Wakes me up
From a slumber
With a dream
Floating among
The rays of light
Light as feather
I feel free
Light finds its way
To the inner
Corridors of my life
The glow
Throws light
On my consciousness
Making me aware
Of the realm
Where true hearts reside
The joie de vivre
Is so attractive
I cannot stay away
But join them

Your world
Part of this universe
Nurture with love
Whole world
Will wake up
To the bright world
Your world
Now, made space
And a mention
Fondly, by every heart
Your small world
Is special
When there is true love

Intricate pattern of the night
Brought to life by silver rays
Close mesh of designs
Filigreed artistry all over
Softened sighs wake up desires
Splashing the colors of night
Dripping with passionate fervor
Both the canvases pristine
Waiting to be exploited
By the artistry of the suave artists

Soul supine solitary
Senses serenity
Sensual serenade
Striking silhouette
Seeking soulmate

In an instant
An instance
Can change
the world
from its
present form
and a
sea of change
can deluge
the existence
to what was
Tide turns
to a catastrophe
washing away
the memories
to a distant land
much nearer
to the
horizon
weakened soul
waiting for
the sunkissed
moment
and wait
for an instance
in life
to look at
the brighter side

Between light and darkness
It's the time for contemplation
This is the hour of realization
Difference between night and day
Is just a blur

Procrastinated feelings
Swept under the night cover
Happy moon in full view
Trying to make the night brighter
Sitting apart in anticipation
Opportune moment to express
Bathing in the silver light
There comes a glimmer of hope
Aching hearts want to heal
Taste the heady potion together
Such a serene night, in conspiracy
Trying to make this an ethereal stage
Distances can be traversed
Tonight is the night
Spaces can be fulfilled with the love
That once was
Waiting for a crescendo moment
Souls can entwine under the silver light
Love always sees a glimmer of hope

When love goes unheard
And the song falls silent
Every bend seems a corner
Lonely walk cobbled street
Shadow gives you company
Faint light and pale glow
Memories are fresh
The love moments a mirage
Weary heart and staggering soul
Lonely stroll amid love lost
Unheard goes the plea
Broken heart and faint prayer
Love goes unheard

Poetry should have the simplicity
to be endeared by many heart’s
it will stand the test of time
and become part of folklore
words birthed in any century
will be relevant till eternity
poetry that touches the heart
and make its abode in the souls
and always narrated with love
poetry in the realm of simplicity
burn brighter over the horizon
revel in the simplistic narration
and you will be immortalized

O’ custodians of poetry
Gather all at the Poet’s hall
Take a pledge to write
Poetry shall flow endlessly
Creativity shall never end
Our words shall birth future poetry
Prayer to our Muse
For the flow of inspirations
We can make harmony
When poets gather in unison
Poetry will be enriched
With the feelings and emotions
Poetry shall inspire the poetic minds
To come out of the slumber
Here, poetic world beckons
Creativity is a talisman
O’ custodians of poetry
Listen to this prayer

There’s turmoil
In the mind
The grey’s activated
Speeding thoughts
At neurotic pace
Synapses in overdrive
Mind does matter
Laden with ideas
There’s a universe
Within me
Humongous task
To travel beyond
This space
Holds, the minuscule me
It’s an endeavor
Finding myself
