Towards the light

anguish becomes itself the antidote 

body riddled with thorns,

wounded heart, injured emotion -

Nevertheless, life doesn't  accepted 

the defeat, the path of survival 

thrown down the gauntlet,

droopy eyes finally learned to live in

the forest of spears,

walking on the path of lava, it's not so

easy, at last, step forwarded for you,

because I left to live for myself,

in the climax of love, all the relations

were transformed into worship,

this consciousness doesn't let me die,

mysterious existence of the formless

 lover,repeatedly draws me,

His face has reflected in every look,

I am able to change myself in

 every step,from wild to gentle, the

mutation brings me towards the path 

of love, peace, light, completion -

MOIST FLINT STONES
I'll  never come again
 to see the collapsed edge,

I'll never fall in love again !

let  the waves carry away you in

the dreams of deltaic wetland, the
dissolving heart has remained silent,
I'll never say untold tale again !
I'll never fall in love again,

getting down the twilight into the

erosion of river, departing fingers had

no regrets, swept away sailing

boats towards the estuary,
I'll never look the ocean, horizon again,
I'll never fall in love again,

in that destination may be some rare

flowers are existed, few inhabitants of
fragrance created the colony,
most probably several glassy brooch

illuminating there, bouncing moonlit

filling the emptiness of life,

I'll never ask the mystery of zeal, again
I'll never fall in love again,
on the half submerged  black rock
swirled emotion died before night, it's

normal, low clouds have been reduced
gradually the humidity of valley,
moon has completed the long journey,
I'll never fallow the path of galaxy again,

I'll never fall in love again,
flint stones were moist, hence flickers

couldn't get the repletion, fire

doesn't reach to maturity, fire woods -

remained discarded, disdained !

reason of extinguished feelings,
I'll never ask again,
I'll never fall in love again,

POSSIBLE TO REACH
oblation of life isn't sufficient in the love,

integrity of heart inflects the barbarous,

merciless persona, résumé of life I had

experience after loving you, however,

tragedies of life walked by implicit way,

moist eyes had often given charming -
assuagements, life accepted clapping

of impassable path of stiff mountains !
the desert lilies, cactus, never gets dry
though destiny hasn't favorable always
for a drop of rain, thorns immune itself

to smile, lustre of survival goes through

the burning embers, before to touch -

and kissing your glorify lips, rendering

on the altar needs moderatism, infinite

immolation, beyond the physical hunger!
it's impalpable but possible to reach,

THE WITHDRAWAL

that dark shadow sulked, sat down alone

on the desolated bank of gigantic river,
nobody had the time to think for a moment,
his existence or extinction didn't matter,
priest closed the temple doors, deity

needs a sound sleep, I called  repeatedly,
the evening had its own precursory,

echos explained me the reason of acedia!

this path of nouncer is not the sign of

renunciation, obtainment of dreams, extra
additional desire to win the planet with
self made principles drenched him into the
miseries, albeit all familiar faces loved

with deep reverence, thirst to look himself
 nonpareil, extraordinary, brought the

shadow near to self blaze, muddy waves
had no solution, later darkness of night

explained him to keek the inner most heart,

he returned back with abstracted, defeated,

to the realism of life, no thing was changed
nothing would be change, the flow of -
life is everlasting, its flows towards the ebb !
before to submerge into the ocean,
river has to make the path amid the forest,

THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
how should abandon the planet,here
I had looked the dream in your eyes,

the phase of life having innumerable

cavity, absconsio,abysmal profundity,
couldn't left the wild trail in menace of
serpents, it's legend that inner crust

hides the invaluable beauty, assayer -
eyes could only explore the real truth,
the physical proximity provides a time
based quench, however soul doesn't

get the perpetual youth's perception, it

moves confused into the abstruse -
darkness, life needs more pleasures
beyond the corporeal, ignition of heart
gets respite for few moment, while the

tear droplets falls on the land of divinity,
the benevolence emotion brings to
masculine frame towards a completion!

restless souls reached to ultimate male,

without the sacred doctrine, philosophy

perception self cheers, later life loves -

apiece faces forgetting all the egotism,

THE IMPASSIVE FACE
with impassive face, they looked the 

burning of massive mansion, in the
name of adminicle, looted the injured

traveler, bath chap emotions didn't
raise the question against the racism,
Jesus, Moses, Krishna, all together
cried on the street of great civilization !

the diabolic attitude fills the apathia,

near the Themes, on the torrid desert,

the fire of odium burns since primordial
period, but here is not the end of life,

on the horizon, the ray of hope is existed,

perhaps one day, our eyes would be

clammy, the wet emotion can't to be die,

the pure soul, again to be reinvented,
let walk again with lame wounded legs,

the painful bellows raising the trembling -
hands, for a favor, only one drop of love,
life waits for you, my friend in eternal

path, a long, miserable journey to keep
 humanity intact, don't leave my hand,

THE SUBTLE DESTINATIONS

the earth, wind, sky, sea, together finalized
stormy covin, in the corner of peninsula,
life holding your hand, gazed the galaxy !

frantic freak, torrential rain, thunderous air

sudden became hush, tidal waves returned

to midstream, we kissed to each other,
on that aloof sea shore I had seen the life in
your eyes, the wet emotion slept on your

bottled neck, dreams turned to crystalline a

gem necklace, the touch of your body -

liberated the soul from the all curse of past !

entering to the fire bath, we have recovered
the extinct glaze of love, all corporeal mirrors

failed on that night to recognize us, the all
transmutation brought us above the hills, vale
crater lake, forest, entire planet left over
far away, behind us, we had reached on the
mysterious, alien land, beyond the cosmos!

BUBBLES ON SURFACE

the depth of that blue oceanic eyes

often creates illusion of plankton, the

sea flower, several floating dreams !

diving into the bottom most, heart -

reaches to level of insanic surge, the

hidden caves of mind couldn't find

the navigational exit, broken sleeps

emerge on the surface, this breathing

moment of life desires your love,

affections, life wants on that point full

support, adherence, aquatic weeds

often doesn't wish to leave last hope,

hold the chest of sea - shore, strongly!

low tidal waves returns to the genesis,

anapnea process gets back the life,

sweating face releases the natural -

contentment, moon flirts on the sky,the

moonlit calm waves, sings or whispers

the song of life, saying is difficult, the

microscopic emotions hides in the -

cluster of coral reefs, entire night, all

plankton floats in deep darkness, it's

entangled to recognize the profundity of

your eyes, which sustains millions lives,

Seashore Painting by Cape May Artist

ECHOES ARE ALIVE

Indeed, the experiment achieved its target,
mutant life didn't find out the lost ship,
on the neutral tinted horizon, the leaning
Sky talked with ocean in celestial dialects !
The body, mind, edea, muscles, every
physical parts were played by you, desires
had no mercy, the ruthless mirror was.
Bear down, emotion scattered on the floor,
on that night, my scream was not converted,
into the echoes, searing pain pierced the
layers of instinct drop where self appeared,
you had no escaping path beloved, the
creation was the brain child of you, solution
later came out from your heart, the life
returned to normalcy, on the far away
the vessel of endless love searched the
anchor point to confess the mistakes, now
you could perceive the depth of miseries,
this enlightenment in your eyes pulls me -
desperately near your extracted heart, which
already liberated from the infernal world, now
my life is prepared to submit the soul with
Fidelity, on the altar of fire, water, wind !

RETURN OF PARADISE  

somewhere if you could get the shadow -

of bleeding heart, the blossom of true love,

a trail which brings towards the wholeness,

do not forget to say my acclamation, there

breathing creates the empyrean, paradise,

the light of immortality has multiform of -

divinity, just hold those precious moments 

with the heart, embrace the reality of life, the 

interspersed beauty of submission creates

a magnificent planet of renaiscence, the 

nature achieves to new evolution, aesthetic 

beauty makes the life wonderful, satisfied, 

all the ignition would calm down, civilization 

would ask for innovative colors to decorate

the humanity, the sky would be proud on that

day, most probably, it would scatter flowers!
