Secret Desires

Secret desires,

flow through,

poems,

bathing,

my flesh,

in your aroma.

As night,

descends,

with her moon,

our thoughts,

become one.

Who Is Who?

Oh! Great Saints,

my mind hurts in vain,

heal my soul,

relieve me from this pain,

and the questions unanswered…………….

We dance to the universal rhythms,

the cosmic vibrations we unknowingly follow,

thinking of them as our great endeavours.

Everything is set,

the pattern, the path, the words,

we merely step on them,

and consider as our chosen world.

Call it hard work, luck or destiny,

we fail, we rise, we do what we do,

and name it our will.

But, who is pulling the strings?

Who is the master puppeteer?

The one with the trident?

Or

Our mind’s own fallacies?

{Note: In Hinduism, God Shiva holds Trident.}
