Thoughts about You!

Intention was to pluck the stars and weave a garland to offer Him,

Bad luck hit me, I cannot pick anything without disturbing Him

Wherever the eye goes, I find Him always there...

Oh pity to think I can offer Him anything!

I like to give my voice, but there is no rhythm

I like to write a poem but there is no rhyme

I like to offer my love but the heart is stolen

I can still consider offering something, my soul remains

My heart, all the time slipping away

In the turbulent waters of passion

Escaping the tendrils of relationships,

Would it ever reach Him in its pure love?

Life Sans Life

Looking at people

As I am looking at myself

Scores of pores over the skin

Pouring thoughts from mind to pen

I see my carcass in my image,  

It is smelling of dead body cells

Emitting odor, not bearable

Like shedding of cells from the skin, 

And sweat is only an odor with no life

It is equally mortal

Except that it is still a sign of life

Because of this burning soul

Is this me or just that the world is this way...

Thoughts pondering

I see, when I am gone, how people may look at me

Perhaps, it is not so much as how my body looks

Perhaps it is also what I felt and did and said

May be one day, we will all see one another eye to eye

If not now may be later.. 

Until later..

The Moonlit Night and The Stars and Us..

What is a song that keeps going

Without the rhyme and rhythm that you make!
Will that be a night without a star in the sky?
Hey come dance with me to the rhythm
For the night is too young to pass away sleeping
Come lets celebrate while singing in arm and arm and once again 
Let the moonlight shine the night as we keep moving with the beat 

Why does the wind carry such loud notes
As if the mountains are rumbling
As if the oceans are raging
Will that be someone who lost their love
Is the rage from the burning night with the heart singing songs of desire 
In memory of a love without anything to compare
Leave the lonesome stars alone
Do not count them for they are less than your woes
You do not give way to sadness
It is not in you tonight
The beat is bold and the night is to behold
With your beauty that I so preciously hold
Will that be too much to ask you
To come tangle in tango with me

Tell me you do remember me
And you always hold me close to your heart
Say you know my sweet love,
That you will always keep singing
And keep it always in your heart
Thinking of me and our time we spent together
The night we spent all through the night
Without leaving our embrace touching the skies

Never leave me
Never say you'll ever leave me
With the sea breeze so cold
Coming through the night sky
Sea birds crying wild notes in the wind
Blinking lights from distance 
matching with the lonesome stars 
that are twinkling away
Oh hold me close to your heart
So we can never ever part from 
One another, another night..

Will that be a dance you would dance tonight 
For the beating drums and the rhyme and rhythm
When you get up to swing and sway around
Swaying your hips each side,
My love! will that be called a song? Or a dance?

The days that were gone without seeing you,
The nights that were spend without you next to me
The long dark nights spent starless in a cloudy weather
Will not be troubling us nor come back ever
As you swing and dance away with me tonight!
Will you sing with me tonight?
The night is so young and the song is half sung
Love me, my love, love me tonight
Would you love me tonight? 

My love the song is so blue
Without you..........to sing with me
Like the moonlight sliding down the stairs
The time is passing with no love
If you keep away from me at such a distance
The love that is not seen tonight
Is that some song that was left unsung
Wow! would you sing with me tonight 
So the song is not so blue.....
Oh my love! tonight I call you to come hold me tight
With the song not so blue....

Let the songs pour as if drizzling rain in monsoon
Shivering the hearts held close together 
As though the night would never end!
Sing for me Krishna your sweet melody of murali

Hold me close Krishna for the moonlight sings with your flute
In this night holding me in your arms

Clouds are gloomy and dark
Yet the darkness is intercepted by the lightning 
Your conch rises in the darkness 
Breaking away all the illusions that one has!

I wish I know, we will meet

I know the moonlight will shine bright!

I will be waiting by the Yamuna river

Looking at the bend of the shadows

In the reflecting light on the waters

Shining like sparkling stars over the rivulet

With my eyes wide open and heart beating

 Faster than the fairies or sparrows

Will sing thine songs and be lost

In remembering your beauty and music

Find me Krishna, I long for you!

As I wait in the moonlight shining above!

When we meet, it will be heavens again!

Unfinished Journey

I am the journey from ages unknown

Unfinished and going forever

From countless forms and lives

Sometimes happy and pleasant 

Sometimes a scary feeling

At times not much of a thing

All those infinite thoughts

Condensing in time immemorial

Looking for a future to unite

With the soulmate at some point 

in life or beyond, in an eternity

No More Waiting

I can not stop loving you 
 During night or day
 I can not stop thinking of you
 While I am awake or asleep
I can not stop missing you darling
 You seem so far away
 Nights end and days dawn,
 Leaving me in the cycle of life
 Waiting is all I do, with eyes that stare
At the empty space wherever I glance,
And mind that runs racing against 
 All efforts to divert its attention 
 As if the sole destination  
Is reaching you or rejoicing in your thoughts   
 Darling I will breath your name
as I breath in and out 
 Sweetheart I live in your thoughts 
 As I lead my days or nights 
 As it gets to be dusk or dawn 
 Don’t you leave me ever again 
 now that the waiting is never more 
 I feel so lost without you

On Hysterectomy

She was a home, of kindness

Through hardships and happiness

Through pleasure and pain

Blessed me with family

And suffered all the pain 

i pray that she attain Nirvana

For all the things she endured

I am sorry i hurt you so much

Still you bore all the pain silently

Forgive me for all the atrocities

That you patiently took

With knives, scissors and razors

That were used to pull you out

For bearing harming outgrowths

From my abdomen and discarded away

May you attain nirvana, my children's home

My precious womb, going through such pain

After going through my hysterectomy

I am sorry you had such hard times..

Bless my family, mother goddess

I am feeling much better now 

Now that i said it although sad...

Beyond Perception

Looking at the beauty of the heights of Himalayas

The enchanting splendor and the beauty of ranges

Does it ever occur to you it may be hiding unseen lava?

Can the heart wrenching cries of the people be heard?

Fighting with the inflation, 

Shredding all the sensation

Creating meaningless competition

And not knowing whither the destination

Hey you vagabond, do you even care?

Is that just enough to let the day pass 

And start another in the unending rut?

Or do you have a meaning or purpose?

What have thou thought of your brothers and sisters today?

Why is the wind so head spinning and nerve breaking today?

Is that because of the soreness of my words?

May be it is the conscience in your heart!
