A soldier died today

A soldier died today,
A brave soldier.
Defending his country,
Against the enemy.
I was saddened and shocked
At the death of the brave soldier.
My heart wept at the thought
Of the mother who lost her son.
Anger and rage erupted inside me
Directed at the enemy which took away a life.
A mother lost her son,
A young bride her husband.
May the enemy burn in hell,
Which brought about this tragedy.
Suddenly, the TV flashed a news,
The soldier that died was an enemy soldier.
My sadness turned to glee,
At the sight of the news.
It was indeed a good news,
'Cause it was not a soldier that died,
An enemy died,
Which was neither a human nor a soldier.
A soldier died today,
Nay, an enemy died today.

The fallen star

From the sky fell a star
A newborn baby.
Abandaned by it's family but
Accepted by the earth.
The star felt strange on the earth
For it no longer shone in the sky.
It lost it's lustre and glow,
It got muddied by the earth.
It felt sad at it's fate
That it was no longer a star.
It longed for the Light
Which gave it the shine.
It looked at the earthings
And bemoaned their fate.
They didn't know how to shine,
Like he did once in the sky.
He thought they have no light
For it takes light to shine.
Little did he know that the light which gave him shine
did not belong to him but the Sun.
All stars think that they shine by their own light,
What a pity they don't know the Source of Light.
Upon seeing the sad star, the Source decided to reveal His presence.
As soon as that happened,
The once sad star now shone brighter than any other star.

The ecstacy

Two naked bodies lay next to each other,
intertwined as if they were never separate.
Holding each other,
loving, caressing and enjoying the nakedness.
Lost into each other,
oblivious to the world around them.
The world didn't exist anymore,
only the two, nay, one of them.
For they had now become one,
merged together into unity.
Love emerged and started it's motions
and they responded in unison.
Love was the music
and they became the instrument.
Playing the music of Love,
and their bodies moving in response.
This play went for don't know how long,
till they reached the crescendo.
Time paused, space dissolved into nothingness
and a billion stars exploded into joy.

My aching, bleeding heart

You took my heart and flew away
Never to return to the shore I belong.
It's been so long that the memories have faded
But the feelings haven't changed one bit.
You wrenched my heart from my chest
Never caring one bit for my aching bleeding heart
My heart must be lying somewhere
Aching, bleeding and unattended
Lying on the ground,
Sad that it had to leave my body.
When God looked upon my aching, bleeding heart,
He took it and lifted it up
And placed it among the stars
Above the clouds
Now my heart shines in the sky
My once aching, bleeding heart.

The Screaming Silence

From the depths of my being
emerged a silence, a screaming silence.
It penetrated the ether
and reached billions of stars, yet completely silent.
Silent yet powerful,capable of shattering the sky
and reaching beyond the frontiers of the Universe.
This reverberating silence emanated from me,
and echoes within the Universe.
The world failed to notice it,
yet it impacts them every moment.
When my inner voice spoke to me,
it spoke to me very silently.
It didn't need to scream at all,
the screaming silence.
Now I enjoy the music everyday,
Of this screaming silence.
This slience reverbrates in the Universe,
this screaming silence.

I and the Light

When the Darkness covered my skies,
more than a decade ago
The light felt so distant as if
it never existed anymore
I was in shambles
knowing nowhere to go
The guiding light departed
leaving me marooned at the shore
Struggling, suffering, bleeding,
waiting for an imminent death.
To suffer seemed my only destiny,
to bleed my only Karma
Hatred and Anger became my friends
never to leave my side one moment
They hurt me more when I tried to reason
that I hurt no one on purpose
They said when Love departs,they arrive,
never to leave.
It did seem like an unending ordeal,
with no beginning and no end.
Little did I realise that I had bargained for it
to taste the life on earth
Begging God to give me a chance,
to return to the shore I had left
Empty, unfinished, unpolished
the work I began as a child.
Now I am once again free.
Love never returned,
it didn't have to
It was always there,
only I had turned blind to it.
The Light never departed,
the blind me couldn't see it.
The God didn't die,
how could He?
For He gives life to everyone,
even the one who sins.
So my friend, never waste a moment
to see the Light that shines within you.
Shining so bright,
it doesn't need you.
You need it to shine,
so it's You.
The Light is You,
THE LIGHT IS YOU.

I am naked before You

What can I hide from You,
the All Knowing?
What can I steal from You,
the All Pervading?
WHat can I wrest from You,
the All Giving?
What can I offer You but myself?
I am naked before You.
I am naked before You.

I am nothing but You

Waiting, longing, seeking,....
for the One
Who will make me complete,
from head to toe, top to bottom, inside out
You have eluded me for so long,
The time has stopped still,
since you said that you will come.
My eyes have grown weary,
but not my heart.
Which belongs to you
and only YOU.
I can suffer no more,
for I know YOU have arrived.
My longing has been answered,
by the Almighty YOU.
I had enjoyed my pain,
but not anymore.
I want the bliss of YOUR company,
your Unbound Love and Limitless Wisdom.
Make me yours,
forever yours.
I have no shame in showing my nakedness to you,
for You created me.
I am nothing but You.
I am nothing but You.

I can't write poems

I will never say now
that I can't write poems.
'cause I don't,
the words are not mine.
They just flow,
when they feel like it.
Just like a river,
meandering it's way across the ocean,
even when merged into it.

The Darkness rises

The Darkness rises,
from it's lair.
To fight the Light,
to light the fight.
Darkness cannot win,
however hard it fights.
For the Darkness to exist,
it needs the Light.
For if Light didn't exist,
Darkness couldn't be.
When the I becomes
larger than the Light,
The Darkness arises,
for it needs the I to fight the Light.
The Darkness arises,
to show it's presence.
To let us know that,
Light is the essence.
LIGHT IS THE ESSENCE.

Love knows no boundaries

Love knows no boundaries,
to shacke it is the biggest sin.
We love no one but ourselves,
to love another is a sin.
To love another,
one needs to be free.
So free as free can be,
Free forver as free can be.
Free from the the boundaries,
LOve can't see.
Love is blind,
Love can't see.
For love has no boundaries,
Love can just be.

The Suffering

To suffer is our destiny,
so do we believe.
To suffer is our destiny,
for that's what we seek.
To suffer is our destiny,,
if that's what we seek.
To choose is our destiny,
but we choose to suffer.
Because to suffer is our destiny,
so do we believe.

Hidden is the key

Hidden is the key,
to the unlocked door.
"Hidden" is the key,
the door is always open.
It is not locked,
it never was.
Only the key is hidden.
We search for the key,
for we are taught that
No door can open without the key.
He made the door,
without a key.

Honesty

Honesty is to become naked,
pretending no one can see you.
To be naked, you need not fear
for everyone is naked when he is born
Naked as we are,
beneath our clothes.
Our masks hide us,
the hide masks us
To be naked is to be free,
the perfect state to be.

The Light has arrived

The Light has arrived,
to stay forever.
Forever is a long time,
for the Light to stay
What if it goes away,
before Forever ends?
Forever never ends,
not does it begin.
Light never arrives,
Nor does it leave.

The Light

We all seek the Light
which shows us the path.
For to see, we need the eyes
that can see afar.
Ears, which can see the unheard.
Lungs, which can breathe the unsung.
To seek the Light,
one needs to know.
That he doesn't need to seek it anymore.
That's all he needs to know.
That's all he needs to know.
