Deep within me, I kindle a fire
it is a feisty one, it asks to avow desire
throw caution to the winds,
throw my carefully built life in the pyre
not sure of anything, yet sure of mind
it tires daily, of the senseless grind
it begs leave, and pleads escape
to the highest peaks, of snowy cape
so I can see the land, its lie and shape
or the deepest seas, and their churning depths
but I must not be hasty, nor take too giant steps
One 'venture at a time, and back to the grime
Sly is she, faithful old time
she looks me askance, and what have I to show?
The usual treasures, I venture? she shakes her head, no
She wants my tales, be they of passion or woe
She wants my pain, that helped me grow
but I have nothing of the sort, that I can show
She laughs in my face, and calls me a fool
I have chased after ghosts, and missed life's school.
and so the fire burns, it begs me to start
collecting my pearls, of wisdom and heart
rowing my boat, into adventure lane
It is not too late, never is, to catch life's train
and set off for the unknown; unsure, untrained.
It is never too late, to wipe the slate, and set off.

A mirror
constantly
in the state
of not knowing.
It only
Reflects
from the
outside...

Pure awareness
constantly
in the state
of knowing.
It reflects
Itself
In
Itself*...
Another one for you Joe
My only weakness is a woman
A woman is my strength
Without her I’m a half man
Longing to be full length!

A woman fills the half of me
Without her I just can’t do
Sans her I’m half empty
And know she needs me too!

Her only weakness is a man
A man is her strength
Without him she’s a half woman
Longing to be full length!

A man fills the half of her
Without me she just can’t do
Sans me she’s half empty
And knows I need her too!

I want to live in a protoplasmic land:
Where only earth's natural resources are availed...
but not any exploitable extraction from nature.
where the cacophonies of friction are unheard..
Where the toxic air doesn't seem to arouse from the rooms of renaissance,
Where the sky synergizes with the nature,
Where the oeuvre of the planet remains pristine,
Where the trees vacillate with the harmony of winds.
Where there exists no manufactured light....
But only the piercing rays of self-igniting sun to synthesize the earth with seemingly eonian brightness...
And on nocturnals,star and moon drives me,if moon masquerades,i.e.,
When the commixture of cirrocumulus clouds form an impenetrable layers of watery clouds,
let the thundering light texture me while its clustering clouds embracing me with its rapturous rain,
Let the nature do its own karma,
I am not here to meddle in nature's subtle poise,
but to infuse into it......
O'shiva pave me the unobscure and quintessential way for me to dissolve in to you,
Let me drop my essential earth and dissolve my sumptuous and non-matter soul in to everlasting you....
Let me hush in to those singular days and solitary sounds....

Dreams are yours
Color them as you like
Vibrant hues of the world
Are on your palette
Paint a rainbow
Or, rainbows over rainbows
Look up at the sky
Lots of colors
And explore what lies beyond
Over the rainbows
And head held high

When I see
In the mirror

I can see my
Reflections

Truly I am the
Reflection of
My parents

When we look for
origins
Where we
Come from?

This water, air,
Fire, earth

All are perfect
Reflections of almighty

With or without different
Physical appearances

Utilizing those divine
Elements we are leading
Our lives
Tried for reflection
May be not
Couldn't write more
I am feeling sorry
For the incompleteness

One day these bricks and buildings were meadows
These fields the processions of spring garden

One day on these meadows used to play the cowboy’s melancholy flute  
These fields the playground of the furious grasshoppers

These bricks were rivers
These buildings processions of water

In these rivers the moon's dispersion played on the uprising waves,
How softly the sailor sang his lonely song, disappearing within the shadows!

Travelers,
Have I told you a fairy tale?
