THE DEPTH OF BREATH 
 

The never – ending expression,

Says numerous unrefined path

Waiting fervently in the life,

Apart the physical achievement,

A few allegiances couldn’t

Complete yet, might be your

Aspire to get me was finale turn,

But my objective exist in the

Nameless land of aesthetic dream,

The corporal frame wants rid of

A pretended desire, spirit looks for

The eternal pleasure, a revival

Of belief, to see the planet by

Third eye, nascent beauty, freedom

From all the negativity, feeling of

Infancy, reception of absolute truth,

Heart wants to embrace each one,

Perception going to abolish, awfully

Colors, shape, frame, features,

In the vision no more than a symbol,

How to generate an immense mural

Of entire world, under one umbrella,

Life waits to see the generosity of

The sky to scatter the immortal moon

Light on the every corner, left over

Souls, wounded blooms staring with

Stony eyes to get some drops of dew,

Continuous thirst doesn’t permit

For a snap, though someone’s body

Laying in proximity, in deep sleep, I do

Not know what’s going in your mind,

Sound of breathing I feel but how 
Much depth is in that I don’t know –

THE MEANING OF LIFE

Perhaps, life needs your presence

In every twist of sentiment, lacking

Makes the persona as a vacant vial,

Containing few drops of condensed

Breathing, habitual to feel you, love

Creates an innovative sense in life,

Blank dream touches to puberty, in

That seized moment, grows poetry!

Have had no control on my heart, I

Often search your reflection in the

Apparent splendor of nature, in the

Soaked roses, dew drop necklace of

Spider web, in the lean thrived twigs,

On the gazing silence of deer’s eye,

Sound of falling pale leaves inspires,

Found a charismatic field around me,

Life waits for you in the downy gloom

Near the dreamy rivulet, under the

Aged mahogany tree, moonlit shade,

The hushed night, unfolded shiny

Sky, dotted thin ivory clouds, slowly

Moving the milky, fourteenth night -

Moon, heart desires to keep the face

On your soft palms, this beautiful

Perception brings me near you, a

Sweet process of adoration grows

Day by day, love you in rampant way!

LOVE ON THAT WAY

Yes I’m intransigent man, don’t

Know the art of compromise, the

Life challenges in every step, let

Obstacles break the expedition,

The compulsive language of your

Eyes, creates the enchantment of

Buried treasure unexplored, here

Heart wishes to go through the

Haunted curse, in your love its

Whispered that stones to be adapt

As a crystal of rare beauty, touch

Me in a way that my influences

Would be the philosophers stone,

Hymn of success has to be surface

Equestrians of intense passion

Launched towards the crusades,

Riverbed, thorny path, rift vales, the

Frozen fiord, let the nature has

Deal with me, I’m prepared to face,

The unwanted all the happenings,

Spirited steps do not be stagnate, on

The path of fortitude, courage -

I believe, storm has to move to some

New route, here resides our planet

Of love, a binding for life long

Commitments, a tough wall of trust,

Nobody could smash it’s the relation

Of soul-to-soul, a planet existed

Internal the planet, infinite glow of

Undying love flows day and night.
