Afraid of no one but me

I am afraid of no one,
but me
I am terrorized by no one,
but me
I have been burnt at the stake,
crucified and skinned alive
I have been cut into pieces,
hanged and shot
I don't stop killing myself,
inventing new ways to maim and kill
The dance of death
enchants me
Yes, I am human,
the Divine turned crazy
I am afraid of no one,
but me
I am terrorized by no one,
but me

Heaven and Earth

I can't forget that sinking feeling
anchoring me to the earth
The grip is so tight
that I am unable to move
Stuck between heaven and earth
my dreams are in a limbo
The wings of my dreams ain't powerful enough
to withstand the winds of change
The tempest rages within
ready to blow me into smithreens
Have seen a thousand storms
yet I am tired of this struggle
No storm is powerful enough
to change my resolve
Yet, I am bored
of this eternal struggle
I have seen a thousand heavens
but they were just a mirage
The weary wings of my dreams
need some rest
They seek solace and peace,
away from the mindless quest
Why can't the heaven
descend on earth?
Why do we have to fly
to reach it?
I command Thee
to make the heaven earthbound
And I will fly
to reach it midway
Instruct Thy winds
to make me soar heavenwards
My heart wants to move forward,
forward and Godward

The Light within

Sparkling lights everywhere
yet my heart lay in darkness
Caught in an abyss
of endless anger and lust
Fleeting glimpses of Light
aren't enough for my soul
My soul longs for the light,
the Light within
The lights outside are so bright
that they blind me
Blinding me to the light,
the Light within
I will not light any candle this Diwali
cause I don't need this light
The light I need already resides in me,
the Light within
God gave me this Light
to brighten the world
Dimmed by my past
it lost it's shine
Till I realised that all I needed
was to allow it to glow
Now it shines bright within me,
the Light within

Let me return

Let me return
to the oceans of serinity
Away from the mad rush
and pointless run
Let me return
to the tranquil shores
The silent zone beckons me
to taste it's sweet nector
The inner music is waiting
to be heard again
Let me return
to the inner sanctuary
Let me return
to where I belong
Let me return
to lose my self
Let me return
to meet my Self

Give me your pain

Give me your pain
for it is what I want
Give me your sorrow
till the last ache stops hurting you
Give me your tears
till the last tear drop
Hurt and pain belong to the past
yet they are real for you today
The seeds of love are planted deep within
yet the weeds of pain won't let them bloom
Till there is pain in you
you can't see the love
Others can't see your love
like I see it in you
Give me your love
for that's what I want
Nay, give me your pain
for that's what I want

You and I are One

Doubt me not,
for I am as real as You
I exist just like you,
the real flesh and blood
We may be separate
yet we are one
United in pain,
joined by the Love
Eons ago we were one
fused together in one shell
We chose to separate
to experience life as individual
Life may have many forms
yet life is but one
WHat you call as an individual
is but a manifestation of the One
From One it came
and in One it merges
Have you seen one flame in two candles?
Yes, you and I are One.

The Magnet

I wish I possesed a magnet,
a healing magnet
It would draw all pain
and heal people
It's touch would make people complete,
hale and hearty
It would end the human suffering
and bring peace to the world
For years I searched for this magical device
in every nook and crevice
I found no one
who possesed this magnet
Then one day I saw a dream
and in it I saw this magnet
This magnet resides
in each one of us
It works for the man
who has a genuine desire to heal
Healing flows through that man
whose sole intent is to end the suffering
This healing magnet is our heart
and it's activated by Love
There is no magic but Love
and there's no healer but God
