THE CO - TRAVELER

the open palms raised up to get the
justice, the eye droplets dripped down
as you turned down them ruthlessly,
but flame of chest never dies,
adventist emotions emerged in form of
tempest, the crown has no way to flee !
the share of lion you made the destiny
the pack of hyena forced you to leave
the empire, the synchronization of mind
reflects vigorously, clouds have to burst
deserted life does not walk on the dreams !
you feed the venom since the birth to
hate the human, as addiction of narcotic,
in the consequence they sting to you,
humanity is beyond the boundaries -
the love is infinite, undying element,
the endless process of nature, creation of
god, they have been left the conceit,
egotism, followed the path of adoration,
peace, god s planet may be fantasy, imaginary
nobody knows the reality, natural art is out
of definition,  after the death existence, or
only smokes go through the darkness !
no one knows the mystery of the circle,
then, why you discriminate me as a co traveler ?

INFINITE TRUTH

in the chronicle of invisible power
footages are not kept pending, every
moment is going to record, you
believe or not! its eventual destiny of
life, sometimes the internal pain
reflects speechlessly, the outcome is
found beyond the imagination, once
debt bearer man is insulted by money-
lender, the depressed man only
wished death for affluent, in next
moment no more breathing by rich, co
incidences are not only eye of mind !
the exchanging is the part of life, how
much we have received or given
the balance sheet does not wait for
rebirth, the life has to face the result,
this calculation goes by the circular way
clergy man was buried near my bones!
in the midnight i looked he was weeping
vigorously hiding face into ankles !
the injustice chases after the death, do
not wait for last judgment, he realized
the truth, that he was the first person
who oppressed my life, in the darkness
of imaginary symbols, in the mystical light!

TONIGHT

serene evening leisurely gets down on
the slope of mountains, may be wild
bloom unfolding the corollas, whorl of
silent moments desires to say you, the
concealed emotion of heart, why you
are unknown to lip- read, the patience
of wineglass wants to touch the thirst,
rhythm of violin says look the inner -
tiny arteries carrying the wheeze, your
stable, killer silence, mixed feelings -
pouring consistently the arsenic pain !
how to show the obsession, searched
the words, gazing bluish sky, last night,
keeping face on the coiled finger stalk
i hope you think only for me, as the -
lavender s bloom scattered in mystic
smile, moving anxious dreams on the
eyelids, this your crescent glance, fills
the colors in my crafted promise land!
amid us the bunch of pink dahlia, vase
neither the dense clouds nor darkness,
how to cross the stretched bizarre sea
of indecision, please thrust fingers -
unknowingly towards the heart arena!
twilight is vanishing fast, the fascinated
night is almost prepared for glee, love
me, as river falls in lunatic way to ocean,
let all the paper boats sink in the whirl
of precious adoration, who knows the
beautiful dawn would be able to collect,
the nomadic , thin, flying ashen clouds,
rains are far away, create the imitated rain!
tonight i desire to walk on the tips of
thorny quartzite to touch the source of
subversive spurt, which flows from your
eyes, tonight my soul wants to grasp the
the depth of cipher, wish to analyze the
mystery of cosmos, tonight passion has
to extract purity of gems from the stones,
epic has myth, the two souls converts the
corporal shape to divinity after merging
to each others persona, its time beloved
to adapt immortality, everlasting love
let go, walk together on the flames of
invisible, endless, crimson, burning fire!
never see the left over far- off destination.

WHOLE THE WORLD IS A FAMILY

in the colossal cipher the world
hangs with prospects of doldrums
the left over nebula carries the
message of compassion, some of
beautiful spirits with love and virtue
stretched the arms to embrace the
bleeding humankind, in the cries
screams, smokes, starvation, pain
the wounded civilization who taught
whole the life, entire brotherhood
love beyond the blood relation across
the planet believe of equality it stands
with swirling, dwindling legs to hug
the remained innocent Homo sapiens!
the submerged earth gradually appears
from the oriental sky the infinite ray
of optimism, innovative creation of love
emerges, dipped in the tender scarlet
color of sky, life flies above the horizon
the residues of evil mind, in the end
surrendered their proud, arrogance,wilds
allowed their children to play in the
liberated garden of newly bloomed flora
and novel fauna, the extinct birds began
singing, the erased rainbow reappeared!
the broken statues of love and trust
breath the fresh oxygen filled by
antique line- vasudhaiv kutumbkam *
the whole world is a family, love
the real and ultimate truth, let live and
let other to survive with their dreams
the imaginary symbols are not so worthier
than the smiles of kids, the last glow
of wrinkles, the fragrance of vivid blossom.

*sanskrit line -the whole world is a family,

mosaic mood

the narrative of life is endless -
replicating art grows the eagerness
to know more untouched dimension,
the secret of face was nothing, as you
pasted some smile after loving me -
the feeling to get you near the heart
is the latest news, it is astonished that
spring tide emerged from the persona!
life feels secure under the umbra of
eyelashes, inclined face towards chest,
unknown bliss beneath the eclipse,
the dust sand, droplets, mingled in wind
the tornado passed dynamically, while
cosmos looks more beautiful sparkly,
in the horizon, thin shimmering lines
interlacing the twilight and mystic night
the crystal of dream is decorated by a star
between your two lips end, the sweet
swirl instigates passion to over flow the
love, in the enclosure bloom mushroomed
keen to expand the blossom with mellow!
life was like a medieval fresco, faded
later meeting with you, renaissance back
the floating colors on the beach says
time to sink in the depth of mosaic mood,
the heart vibrates in the subtle way, as
the rain droplets falls slowly on the lotus leaves.

VIOLENT WAVES

nebulous smile said the truth as
you hidden the desire prolong
milky way was little perplexed,
blues have no hesitation to touch
the depth of your life long eyes!
the game of hide and seek, flashed
the pulsate of heart, the tip of finger
slowly ignited the sleeping crusts
escaping from the smokes, lava, often
becomes the question, volcanic love
has challenged the biosphere, the
wet clouds in last surrogates the thirsty
chest of mountains, in the life many
times, before the decision, moments
do not wait for willingness, it flows
unpredicted, runs towards the slope!
the bunch of beautiful tuber roses
wanted to keep the fragrance inner
the epicenter since the tender twilight,
the magic of moon created invisible
magnetic pores, the skin deep sensation!
fragrance had no other way except
obedience, wind did not wait longer, fill
whole the breathing for survival, originated
from the wild valleys, by birth i am free
as a river, your oceanic disposition has no
way just engulf to my violent waves.

Love yourself first

Love yourself first 

A stranger with David s physic

full grown bison look

stony muscles, vast shoulders

a large stretched chest 

a live sculpture of 

unknown Greek God

irregular face, curly wiry hairs

thick, rough swelled lips 

pitch black complexion 

standing de- clothed

before the beautiful mirror 

with golden floral framed

mirror reflected, said -

the most substantial man 

in the whole universe

a complete symbol of male

with masculine power

the last son of Adam - Eve !

merge in me with vigor

but love yourself first 

recognize the inner most beauty !

FACE OF LIFE

Autumnal, the moments feel unaided
whenever you say goodbye, glooms
of separation makes the life as dried
leaves flying away in wind of dawn,
naive affection waits for next reunion
curiosity increases, searches proximity
between the leaf – stalk, dreams appear,
leaflets wants to collect some more dew
drops, to adorn the buds invisible, heart
swing from one twig to other, tries to
write love poetries on the sweet zephyr,
the soft ray from the roof hole brings
the news of twilight, the impatient feel
emerges in the persona, often I forgot
to look in the mirror, in your translucent
eyes, my image complains about dark -
circles, red-eye s mystery, always I found
speechless before you, however
a bunch of conversation sleeps inside
the meeting point, I surprised, frequently
changes its form, now looks like spring
is sheltered somewhere in neighbourhood!
This evening to evening season alters
many moods, every moment is a long life
each emotion struggles to get you so
nearer, the graph of heart walks on the spiny
edge, one side profound valley other side
remains silent life -

I KNOW, YOU LOVE ONLY THE MOON

latent my emotions awaken in the midnight
in the hoary circle of moon, i looked some
stratums of dark colors scattered by you ,
the envious your eyes unfolded the saga,
moon has won my heart, you knew very
well, the artificial colors faded by clouds
slowly, the moving face you have smiled, i
caught you raid handed, its different, that
you did not accepted the counterfeit, the
moon criticized through the wind, clouds!
the conspiracy was not obscured, in twilight
said by you that tonight is moonless
night, i believed on you! now clandestine is
unfolded, fragrance of passion is outburst,
the deception in the love was exceptional,
the moon as well, cherished your approach,
the bliss in your eyes was apparent, submit
of defeat or victory has no bigotry, i loved
the bewilderment, given heart to you! who
thinks to the morning if night is so stunning?
in the multitude of luminaries, sometimes a
candle illuminates the perception, life has no
more choice to recognize the authenticity,
my heart was laid under the shaft of black
ashed volcano, centuries passed,approved
by only you, the gleam emerged, covered the
moon, as you loved me, converted in rhombus!

SLEEPLESS NIGHT

sleepless night enforced me to write!
often i strived to reconstruct, the
dispersed pieces of clouds, tried to
collect the feeble twigs to make a nest,
fire of forest bloomed with lacy leaves
tuber roses spread out with fanatical
perfumes,whole the night i changed
the sides, dreams were flying above the
meadows, emotional delicate hands
could not touch to wings of butterflies!
i screamed loudly, echoes were lost, in
the dell tribal were singing, dancing with
passionate rhythm, muscled hands were
beating the dreams, the scale of chorus
illuminating the night, as fireflies creating
the magic, lethargic eyes gazed the sky!
moon has vanished, leaving some memoirs
some kisses, embracing moments, some
pages of solitude, some drops of smile or
the script of fingers on the body, galaxies
still breathing by touch of moonlight,
far- flung in the tune of flute, love melodies
mesmerizing the heart, soul, each parts
of sensation, stirring the dreams violently!
how to explain the gratitude or apprehension
as you loved me, fascinated the life, hence
the sleep less night asked the questions,
i do not know the exact reason -
why it is happened ?
