Silence

Underneath percolating rain drops in sand beneath  dew drops rolling down the leaf blades among playful waves of roaring oceans there’s  deep silence only heard by a heart calm within

Thousand Deaths

As she

saw his hand

slipping away

from her hand

                          she died

                          thousand deaths

                          in that

                          one instance

His face

faded away

like butterfly’s wings

                                      she knew

                                      from

                                      that moment

                                      days were over

                                      of spring

Life went on

at its own pace

leaving

scars of pain

in the voices

of space

                 and

                           she died

                           thousand deaths

                           at

                           every instance

 

Surrender

You are ~

the mesmerising fragrance of an enchanting spring,

the warm breath of assurance in freezing winter chill.

                          

No citadel or silk wall, no garden or waterfall,

can ever bind a meditating heart drowned in love.

Be it Jasmine, rose, daisy or lavender,

nothing can match the pure love in its splendour.

Let us dissolve into each other,

and all over together rediscover,

the meaning of life, pain, love and suffering,

and how a few words are so comforting.

Let there be no you or me,

but only one - “we”.

We are now, in unison,

our energies merging within,

the cosmos.

 

"Om Namah Shivayae"

Mighty mystic Himalayas,

a great revered Shivalaya.

Lord Shiva’s holy grace,

flows as rivers all over the space.

Rhythm of Lord Shiva’s drum,

every valley sweetly hums.

Lord’s name engraved as “OM”,

sanctifies agni, jal, vayu and vyom.

Tandav ,when Nataraj performs,

whole universe reforms.

You control the tides - high or low,

Oh! Lord Shiva to thee I bow.

"Om Namah Shivayae" – The holy mantra of Lord Shiva.

“Shivalaya”– Temple of Lord Shiva .

“Agni” – Fire, “Jal” – Water, “Vayu” – Air, “Vyom” – Space/ Sky.

“Tandav”- Mythical dance performed by Lord Shiva that can destroy the universe.  

“Nataraj” – Another name of Lord Shiva, when he performs Tandav.

You Are The moon

You are the moon of my darkest skies,

with you my ashes, fall and rise.

When the tides touch you through,

life - force within me renews.

Every night you glow there,

and only in my dreams,

to you I can be near.

In  the sun's lap when night's last star hides,

I no longer see you in the skies,

then, my soul again dies.

It will only be reborn,

when the moon shines bright.

Welcome The Dawn

Night hides away,

as dawn smiles.

Sluggish moon,

saunters away,

towing the stars,

on the way.

Night’s eyes heavy with sleep,

close dreams within.

Warm sun now shines above,

a new day begins.

Always……..

Love will always guide the way,

two souls will meet under the sparkling rays,

imprints on hearts will forever stay,

time will dissolve the seams of night and day,

for love will always guide the way.

Distance, space, birth and death,

memories in heart and breath,

will always speak of love’s depth,

for love can break,

distance, space, birth and death.
