JUST STAY FOR SOMETIMES !

Please wait for little moment, let

Evening to share a few whispers

The sweet feeling has to ripe -

Unspoken delicacy of thought wants

Some more sap has to accumulate!

Do not leave me in a way that my

Heart has no choice, yet again

Moon is trying to stroll, slowly -

Just now jasmine have learned to smile

Dreams hiding somewhere in your

Vicinity, envious fragrance wandering

As nomad searching transitory

Shelter beneath the moonlit roof

Sky stretched serenity, oceanic corals

Reflected to blue, aquatic calm waves

Flowing under your eye edges

Let me breath for a second, life is

Engrossed under your thick eyelashes

Do not detach the finger web, shores

Moving away to dawn, I do not know

The naval way, might be go down

In shrinking pleasant moment just

Hang around; night has its own beauty

Do not remove the face, the sprouted

Emotion of chest may be dry, let the

Oasis of heart thrive for indefinite period

Flaming sand has to settle down

Internal thirst is naive, little persistent

Loneliness would be killed me, tonight!

Please do not leave me alone, I swear –

I would gaze you only, whole the

Starry night, I will love you with my eyes,

As a glassy object fragile !

Broken pieces of wings

Lighthouse, mass suicide of termites!

In the tip of cape, mariners anchored

The yacht, as in the eastern sky, density

Of clouds inciting rain to down pour,

Trembling window panes, seductive wet

Winds, fanatical candle flames, some

Bunch of red roses, in the finger tips mark

Of piercing thorn, covered pain by your

Colored lips, final touch to floral bed sheet!

Wiping the mirror, touching bulges of self

Muscles, atypical perception waiting

For you, unlocked doors, squirmy eyes!

At the door, footstep breaks obsession

Removing the raincoat, kissing lips had

No chance to say, the saga of heart,

Across the window glass, it was raining

Moisturized darkness, mysterious

Affectionate moment, termites get the

Delicate, glassy wings for one night

Empty vodka glasses, half burn cigarettes

Smokes went up, disappeared, the

Shower proof coat dried, beneath it

Remained wet floor, humid body did not

Attached for prolong, anchored loosed

Cyclonic waves liberated yacht, sailor

Drunk slept, rain had no relax, whole the

Night termites played suicidal excitement!

The first ray of sun delayed the voyage

As mariner missed the yacht, he ran

Shouted, cried, and did not trace the yacht!

Torrential rainy night, submerged beach,

Vanished light house, semi nude mariner

Searched the familiar raincoat, to cover his

Body, dreams were floating on the foams,

Slowly he touched wounded limbs, nail

Bite cuts; lifted the saline water of sea

Splashed on the chest, refreshed the life

Turmoil waves receding gradually

Still broken wings are visible down the

Waist, he smiles, wipes by injured fingers!

CHANGES ARE NATURAL

Nothing remains forever, changing is the

Part of life, earth, sky, water, flame, age

Left the desirability, obsession, life has

Less necessities, in the way of sun set,

Expectation died itself, persona becomes

A puppet, string holder is smiling, invisible!

Paying the dues was intention, as I stayed

Shared my individuality, corporal, cordial

Known unknown faces, traveling together

Loved someone or dramatized relation

Disagreement, disloyalty loitered in hearts

Used, utilized, calculation concealed

Unsolved, cord of life restricted by other

Planet, how to blame the alcohol, mind

Knows the fatality, heart loves you though

Climax is suffocated, end moves towards

New destination, in fact everybody loves

Him first, the secondary preference goes

Forever to next, by birth we are actors

Nature teaches an infant to cry, draw

Attention, physical necessity grows the

Mind, muscles, extra desires to get as much

As, exchange of emotion, swapping of

Pleasure, all sensations are self-centered!

The outer layer of character is nothing

Than camouflage to hide the reality, in

Isolation everyone wants to see him as a

New born kid, completely exposed, this

Curiosity is the extreme love for life, a desire

To be Alpha male, a passion to be beautiful

Feminine, in the high tide graphs have no limit

In the low tide human is helpless, no other way, 

excepting defeat brings towards divinity

BE NEARER

BE NEARER

At this juncture of preamble,we have
nothing to veil,as the terrain of life is
eroded by river,or land grab the flow !
the togetherness shaped the way to
determine all curved intention in life
do you think that it is easier to stroke
the clear canvas without imagination!
some fallow land,may be abondoned
by time,seeds were evolved to tender
sprout,tiny buds have to flourish,feel
of affection fills the cheerfulness,the
shadow of clouds, nothing than
simply gazing to your face,loving looks
brings the heart on surfaces of moist,I
do not linger for rainy nights,in
this exhausted twilight,I can feel the
aroma of clay in the placid wind,
this blending moment of emotion says
something is growing step by step
between us, an anonymous sensitivity
a meaning to live together,a desire to
to touch the unknown destnation,I do not
know precisely the mood of evening sky
colors, love mingles in elite way tonight.

THE ORIENTAL SKY

Again raised fumes above depressed

Sinking river basin, the scout about the

Missing link of flames says somewhere

Storm is hidden, from the north east sky

Strong wind creating the instabilities!

How to sail the ferry on the surface of

Upheaval emotion, the stairs of asylum

Is moving towards the back by tidal flow,

The hymn of sympathy flies from the

Temple of love, life finds familiar faces

Standing near the turmoil coastline, the

Optimism of a glorious morning doesn’t

Permit to leave the voyage, though heart

Is detained in unknown alluring point,

Cynic thoughts changing the routes, faith

To search the real meaning of survival,

Boats are impatient to navigate the new

Horizons, a green pasture is awaited

Somewhere to embrace the offended

Hearts, bleeding dreams, stifled breath!

The caravan of humanity doesn’t wait

They wish to follow the path of nirvana

In the oriental blues the last morning star

Demonstrates the way to reach the ocean

Of ancient land of Vedas, unexplored

Books of ancient ages indicates here only

Here you can find the meaning of life!

Depth of soul is infinite, it never to be died

The planet would be again stand on its axis

trust of rotation keeps intact, sun has to rise!

DREAM SLEEPS ON THE RUINS

Darkness of night wraps the squeals
in the citadel of life becomes silence!
on ruined walls, fresco breathe alone,
the last desire to get the justice, some
privileges to renovation, saline wet -
wind is exposed by sea, it absorbed
easily by parched bricks, emotional
layers fall one by one in the dimness,

beneath the fly over the dream sleeps
for a moment after selling her body!
speed of traffic doesn t make variation
a decade long night goes through one
end to other, in the process of survival
ethics have no place, just life itself
closes the gateways for moonlight !

the dreamy child feeds the breasts
though mother is died long ago, the
innocent kid cries entire night to see
the beautiful morning, nobody knows
saga of that unknown tender dream !
may be somewhere delicate fingers
writing the repetition of slogan for
a piece of bread, a piece of cloth
a corner to touch the wounded limbs
dream does not know the meaning of
human rights, it has to survive for a night
among the predator of ruthless planet!

THE AMAZING PHENOMENON

Some innovative meaning in life, few
undiscovered location appeals me to
meander from one destination to other,
day and night s howling for survival
occasionally creates the unreasonable
torment, tonight heart wants to travel
beyond the life and death, a junction
where prejudice, abhorrence, favors
have no place, a horizon carries only the
beauty of heart, the lust, exploitation
have no chances to germinate there

a dream to look the transparency in
each faces, purity of smiles, truthfulness
in relations, brings in the land of bizarre!
unmasked beautiful people blooming like
the flowers on the arid land, in their eyes
I can see flow of authentic love, endless
benevolent, generosity, as mosaic colored
lotus are floating on the surface of a stable
lake in the isolation, stayed there for few
moment, waited for some of my friends
to share the amazing beauty of rare
phenomenon, far away I looked only you
eagerly waving hand, to reach nearer me,

this belief, that you follow with pure heart,
great acquirement does not allow sleeping,
I gazed entire night the comprehensive sky!
unblinking the eyelashes consistently -------
