In Praise Of The Moon

Round and round you go on your voyage,

From stormy deserts to icy maze,

Shining your silvery facade.

Many beauties wait for the night,

For they bloom under your sight,

Primrose, Gladiolus, Lilies, Moon flower,

Crave for a glimpse of your light shower,

You are the dream of every dreamer,

Spinning dreams down the river.

Every night forests resound,

With thy lover’s featly sound,

As you drench the realm in white light,

Songs are heard from fairies and sprites,

Cold comfort of your embrace,

A soft breeze on earth’s face.

To your enchanting call, waves rise,

Splashing treasures that oceans hide.

Dancing to your tune on those nights,

Waves reach to great heights.

You are magician of the night sky,

Perched atop on mountain so high.

Round and round you go on your voyage,

From stormy deserts to icy maze,

Shining your silvery facade.

Your Soul

I shall never be able to write,

words of gold, in,

a poem lovely as your soul.

A soul that shines bright,

under the god’s light.

A soul that guides my life,

and I ‘ll wait for you in the afterlife.

What shall I say more?

there’s no one as pure as your soul.

God Is Everywhere

AUM

He shines in the morning dew,

resides in the scenic views.

He whispers among the flowers,

he is the dream, in dream- jars.

He drips through the rain,

slides down our cheeks, as tears of pain.

God is unseen,

but, we can feel him,

with a heart full of sympathy

and a life full of empathy.

God is “AUM”,

the essence of the universe.

Aum (ॐ) embodies the essence of the entire universe and is the most sacred symbol in Hinduisim. It is the root of the universe and everything that exists.

Silent Screams

The walls of asylum,

hum a song of silence,

etched in their bricks.

There are people within these walls,

misfits in the world.

Many came,
fewer went,

some stayed,

in silent screams of pain,

unheeded by the world.

But, the walls of asylum

know these silent screams.

The City

This city

with countless people

like stars

some dim

some bright

some dying

never sleeps

Its voices

like waves

rise/fall

lost in

deep ocean

heard

unheard

City-roads

like serpents

drink lives

no mercy

no plea

life

dead

Road-lights

like moths

search brightness

ultimate

untimed

death

flicker

This city never sleeps,

its voices unheard,

city-roads dead,

road-lights flicker.

Blessings

As I lay on the forest floor, 

gazing at the starry sky,

I wonder about the blessings,

                 ~that are numerous,

                   than the stars passing by.

The sodden forest ground,

the smell of ferns and fronds,

chirping night voices,

~ earth's blessings,

   and bond,

   with creatures roaming along.

Soft brumal winds,

their tinkling hints,

snowflakes floating around,

jewels of wintry crown,

~ seasonal blessings,

   lovingly,

   showered down.
