THE INFINITE BURNING LAMPS

Numerous distressed faces, crowd of

Nightmarish body waits on the edge

Of survival, in fume of extinguished

Lamps, amid the ruins, the outskirts

Of life breaths in its manner, nature

Generates space for blooming, even

In the algae covered walls, eccentric

But beautiful flowers stretches their

World, continuously life searches the

Significance of existence, a struggle

In perception never ends, obstinate

Emotion says me consistently, that

Someday I would be part of the blue,

Boatman calls loudly, that evening

Enlarging the darkness, clouds are

Gathering on the western sky, but

Heart doesn’t care, if they have the

Intensity to quench the thirst, opened

Chest waits to soak all the moisture,

Life sails the dreamy dinghy into mist,

Awful calls of sailor disappears itself,

After passed away tempest, I created 

Own way, to navigate the vast river,

Do you still waiting, at the eroded edge,

On the stairs of derelict shrine of love,

BEFORE THE IMMERSION 

I couldn’t answer, just stared the face

Expression, on that fuzzy nightfall, the

Bunch of red roses, I had kept aside

And peeped through the depth of wet

Eyes, “I won’t meet again said by you”

Simply on that moment, the glass villa

Of our love, collapsed soundlessly but

All the sinking nights of past emerged,

As untamed river of emotion recedes

From the coarse shore, proverbial -

Body odor, passionate deep sigh, the

Entire revelation of covert relationship,

However unwillingly you couldn’t avoid,

Vis-à-vis to my persona, unseen cord of

Obsession brought near the chest, in

The shadows of that moonless night, the

Decision to leave me alone, rejuvenated,

Moreover, you said, “I wouldn’t be alive

After severance from you “on that point,

Life felt the significance of extreme love,

Which I have, the regrets had its own

Magnetism, I couldn’t go away for a while,

Extinct oceanic islands suddenly emerged,

Illuminated, sailor of gloom anchored -

The yacht in the planet of sapphire sky,

Gleaming dewdrops, gradually sprinkled,

THE CONCORD OF DARKNESS

On the surface of meadow, dotted

Night bloom, as the moist emotion

Desires to unfold the undisclosed

Flimsy moment, life had been sign

On the biography, written by your

Mysterious, unexplained language

Of body, translated by density of

Nearness, in the short distance all

The nocturnal fragrance attracted,

The enlightening wings of celestial

Crystals decorated the seclusion, the

Concaved valleys submerged into

The moonlight, bushed memories

Of life extinct into mist of wild falls,

I have had to say you lot, the heart’s

Rhythm couldn’t reach on the cord

Of perception, stunned sentiments

Didn’t find out the dodging direction,

I accepted the extensive, the flowing

Acquiescence s, silently your emotion

Overlapped my burning crater, the fire

Bath converted the life into the purity,

The crystal clear soul emerged in the

End of night, near the horizon line,
