Endless Travel-2 (Edited)

My slate is blank

Just as my mind is

My state as I wait

Very many times

My blood pressure

Falls in disbelief

Cannot imagine

Going through this journey

Although distant

Whatever happens

When lives are gone forever

Where do we travel

Would there be a moment

When we can travel through time

As you are being you,

And I being me, looking our prime

Would there be a day we can see

As we realize that we  will be

Dust to dust whether we are away

Or exist together, wherever we are

In the air or water or under the sea

Our lives, like entwined plants,

Are connected, despite parting our ways,

Did we ever know

The desert that is baring herself

One day was an overflowing ocean

That wept so much

That it is all dried up seeing the pathos, just as we are, with memories

That can never ever be lost around one another

Above the galaxies, across the horizon

Keeps reminding one, the time left out

As the earth was running into dark  spaces  of millions of eons as if churning amidst zillions of lives aimlessly

In the fierceful teeth of time machines, processing slowly now, and evolving one day,

As the wheels spew it out

With lot of wet earth shining

 As it sparkles the air

Then would you know that millions of years have passed and that our distance has not  closed, as we drift away forever like tangents.. despite the continuum would not bring us back as the time spirals endlessly in either ways…

Endless Travel

My slate is blank

Just as my mind is

My state as I wait

Very many times

My blood pressure

Falls in disbelief

Cannot imagine

Going through this journey

Although distant

Whatever happens

When lives are gone forever

Where do we travel

Would there be a moment

When we can travel through time

I being me and you as you

Would that be a day we can see

As we realize what we  are

Dust to dust when we are away

In the  air or water or under the sea

Did we ever know

The desert that is baring herself

One day was an overflowing ocean

That wept so much

That it is all dried up seeing the pathos

That can never ever be lost around one

And the galaxy across the horizon/

Keeps reminding one time

It was running into a dark  spaces  and millions of eons of churning lifelessly

In the fierce teeth of time machines processing, slowly evolves one day as the wheels spew it out with lot of wet earth and it shines as it sparkles the air

Then would you know that millions of years have passed and that our distance has not  closed, as we drift away forever like tangents.. despite the continuum would not bring us back as the time spirals endlessly in either ways…

A Talk With My Corpus

I like to remember something that we faced

We were young and the knowledge of you to me was like a closed window.

One day I saw something, that I did not understand

My new dress I wore for the first time was not clean.

I noticed it as I went to the rest room and called my grandma

She was there taking care of us as mom went to village.

She had to be at the farm as they were harvesting the new crop

Grand ma asked me to sit alone in a corner, until my mom arrived.

It was a huge restrictions and rules suddenly heaped on me.

Until morning I was happy go lucky,

Although it was supposed to be my maturing,

I hardly realized what it was, since in reality it was premenstrual pink show.

I discovered I didn’t know what you are until later

When I never even knew how to tie a carefree knot..

However, I learnt that being a girl growing up is

A gateway to rules and way is so restricted... 

Living A Million Lives... (Short story)

The orange sun rays are giving hope, that there may be warmth even in the coldest of the times.. it is getting to be dark and the world will be covered under a thick dark blanket of coldness, surrounding the mountains very soon. The huge dark Willows overseeing the horizon are giving the mother earth a thicket of dense Hunter’s green hue, covering any hurt within and showing a passionless, emotionless silence, holding all the turbulences and turmoil that is going in Jade's mind as it is under the wetlands of the forest, through the ocean beyond the view.

Every morning is a day of surprises waiting to be unraveled. A challenge thrown into the life, was way too demanding than the gentle breeze that flows over the ocean, at that serene moment. Does it matter if life is not just priorities, but also of choices that have to be made with sans emotions.. A life that could have been, is hushed, sucked out of the lungs as the home that should have raised has consumed it instead, breaking all the bondages that would join the structure and piece by piece, extracted and rooted out into the cold, as the ashes are scattered over the dense onlooking trees that have housed so many lives.. Still, in this harsh world, unfinished as it was, hoping to arrive in a couple of weeks, in full splendour, she arrived quietly, without a cry and her life was thrown out in bargain, leaving a pathetic trail of human decisions surrounding those who can think much less of others and couldn’t care a hoot as they suppressed their ability to offer care. Corporate companies, do need to care individual's needs, they are humans, not cogs in a machine, and humans need care irrespective of companies'policies to survive. Who pays attention to this small voice?

Months of delaying of break times at work, right at the time of need, waiting for breaks and shifts, while work demanded more attention, yet being affected with a loss of appetite or gradual weakness, leading to anorexia and bulimia, because a Barbi cannot be a raggedy Ann, for the uncouth corporate bodies that cater least to the needs of a mother to be to care her precious in her home.. How could one strive to carry a full term if all they cannot is raise them safe or not to share the office hours with them.. No, that’s just not all, there was more saga rooted down..

 It was not possible to continue without getting hurt, so one more day of sacrificing is not an option over life caring for others, more demanding, her little cousin brothers and sisters, needed more care. Losing parents for Covid and SARS, and travelling all the way from Mexico, she had to be there for them, and surviving and sustaining...

Birds in the forest are staying close to their mama tonight.. As the sun sinks in the West, that dark night homes the ashes in its womb and raising it into trees and fruits of vigour that can be born into million forms, making million lives with just, this one divided into a million.. and each a complete whole by itself, and life goes on..

My Young Lover

My lover stays over the mountains

My lover stays across the ocean

My lover stays in a forest land

Driving the cowherds and leading the calves

My lover is so beautiful,  playing the

Raagas of evening and dawn

My lover is soul binding

His music is so spellbinding

He weaves the winds into canvas of colors

The winds turn into prayers of hundreds

Of almighty wonders protecting the thousands of atmas, blending his music into their lives,

My lover can come or go when he wants

He is an endless time traveler!

He sings from his heart and breaths in music, out of every barren soul with holes all over and making it live forever,

Even though the lifesap is dried out,

Even though the body is left scorched and there are holes all over that are tuned

Because of their love for one another!

My lover is a young muraliwala

So He is my kaandha kisna, one and only

Lover of all Humans or any beings, O He loves everyone who offer their hearts!

He is in all life forms or lifeless, except He does not like if you take Him for granted!
