THE SILENCE 

the silence, itself says 
numerous stories,
as the 
beautiful valleys of life,
under the shadow
 of clouds,
unfolds the inner lanes,
passing through the
 lattice light,
persona discovers the 
hidden realities,
the tender 
morning rays, the longer
shadow of trees,
innovative
 beauty of nature, writes
unpublished 
aesthetic 
verse,
between receipt and 
abandoned,
emotion
flows as wild stream, as
recluse monk
walking 
alone 
on the trail of tiny wild
bloom, 
realization or 
renunciation, the self 
exploring or 
knowing 
the creation of world with 
new thought,

THE UNKNOWN VOICE 

never get tired that voice, resonating 
in the valleys, constantly, in the
layer of mist, it's never
linger, that moves 
towards the 
essence 
of life,
creates new dimensions, with the 
definition of live and let live;
it moves through the
 heart to soul,
includes 
to everybody in its persona, that's a 
comprehensive light, that
merges all  the
 darkness, 
a perception of humanism, which 
absorbs all the pain beyond 
any discrimination,
a tiny stream
accepts 
whole disregard of coastal habitats, 
breaks the silence of injustice, 
stir the conscience, 
raises the 
question against the atrocities, 
exploitation of doctrines,
that voice never 
permit me
to seep, 
every night I pledge, that I will follow 
the way of Dolorosa, in each 
day break life wants
to walk on the
foot prints
of that spirit, the Adventist crusader for
the humanity,

TILL THEN GOODBYE

Maybe recluse for tonight, emotions
are so tired, body and mind
wants a little rest,
please
remove all the pseudo layers, do not
call me, in the infatuated voice,
let me release, myself from the
elusive contract,
I promise,
before dawn, I will come back,
nothing is hidden from you,
my life was an
open book,
as you
wanted, you've read, underlined, and even
highlighted on the body parts
or the waves of emotion,
as a tamed bird
I followed,
repeated your tuning, your music,
sang the unknown lyric, as
a chorus of the life
remained
behind your love, even I forget self
persona, a fear to go in the margin,
a hidden horror of
sidelined life,
despite
wishing I couldn't leave your deadly
indulgence, but now drop -
the scene, though I have
assured you,
to come
back, however, that dawn should be
same with your dream, as
a crystal clear surface
of love, to see
 the real
image, the perfect combination of body
and soul, just wait for that
miraculous morning,
till then good
bye - - -

THE RETURN OF SPRING 

opaque vision was mine, it's not fair
to blame others, not easy to 
differentiate between
rain and fog, 
because
from the window I looked the valley, 
conscience couldn't climb
the stairs of the
shrine, what
was he, 
immortal or mortal heart couldn't 
identify, a mystic love or
personal needs,
what was 
that, 
who doesn't permit to sleep me 
peacefully, though last 
night dreams were
vociferous 
with
attractive colors, but I do not know
why, I couldn't see anything 
other than black and
white, or indeed,
I didn't try to
know 
the life in depth, just watched him, 
returning back empty-
handed, alone
far away, 
however, not depressed; with dim 
smile; he said, just rethink 
colorful - -

THE LEAVING SCENARIO 

it's time or the rapid running train, going
in higher velocity, in mysterious 
way, leaving all beautiful 
halts both sides, 
life is 
steady  or endearment going back in 
the light speed, as acacia trees,
paddy fields, lotus blooming
ponds, the flock of 
sparrow, or 
alone 
kingfisher, wild stream, aren't they in 
their place, or an illusion is 
dragging them with 
dementia, 
maybe 
a dream restlessly searching the lost 
address, in the mirage, isn't
the hidden oasis, who 
knows, the real 
destination
every 
lips has unquenchable thirst, isn't, each 
desire has the sparked fire, the
vast desolation everywhere,
every heart is beating
to touch the zenith 
point, to get
the more
than destiny, but time is passing with 
intensity - - -

THE UNEXPLAINED

It's hard to say, who played a role in what way, life is not a digital
arithmetic, not possible
to discard the
crowd,
although everyone is alone, and have
to go away, one day alone,
after knowing everything,
however, we loved
the stage and
perform
beautifully, the glittering audience of -
sky clapped with illumination,
endless comedy, drama,
separation, union,
smile and cry,
some
unsung character, some bright pseudo
shadows, in the negative photos,
or sometimes in the
concentration
of colors,
I have searched the life desperately,
sometimes pin drop silence
and often chortle,
somewhere
between
affinity and isolation, your love has called
me, sustainably - -

THE ENDLESS TRAVEL

the smiles aren't the translation of life, I
know, but no choice, commitment 
are thirsty, the reality is that
at every step we have
to be comic;
nothing 
is mine, it's true; but not easy to break
the bonds of love, dying is easy;
living with cyclonic wind,
amid the rise and
fall the protect
of persona,
aren't simple, that's the essence of life;
nothing short tract, continuous 
traveling, every step has
a new revelation,
sometimes 
I'm on the earth and destiny remains in
the sky, perhaps, it's too 
happened, he is 
so near, just
before 
the eye, but recognition was difficult, so 
I forget him just like a beautiful
dream of early dawn,
smiled and
went back on the path of life - - -

THE ADIEU OF DARKNESS

tonight the cloistral soul will wait,
if you can, do not forget to 
come,reconciliation of 
body and spirit, 
between the
earth and
space,
somewhere, in the emptiness of 
transparent ether, I will 
return some of 
belongings, 
some 
poetry written by moonlight on the
chest, few dew drops which
still on the tip of acacia 
thorn, numerous 
crystalline 
feeling
under the process of amethyst
touch, eager tuberoses, 
many aromatic oath,
various dreams 
of early 
dawn, 
some clasp some sweet kiss, the
smile of first blooming bud
of spring, after the all 
warlock body, 
realese 
me 
from the addictive illusion of your 
eyes - -

My pain was very trivial - - - 

probably, you didn't feel, the dumb 
pain, the ambush of killer
night, saline touch 
of moonlight 
into the
fresh wound, because, what you 
wanted, you've achieved, 
but my deep miles
long loneliness 
you've
deepened more,and that isolation 
made me the realistic, to
know himself I didn't
left the
householder life, rather accepted 
the defeat, I learned from
failures, identified
himself, 
learned to walk carefully, whatever 
the definition of Nirvana; but 
that love has shown 
me the path of 
infinite 
salvation, autism mind was narrow;
hence my love has opened 
the gate for universal 
entry, may be 
I haven't
share on the earth but kingdom of 
sky is extensive, no one can
overthrow him, that 
almighty
contained the all-pervading love - -

THE BLUISH GRANDEUR 

that hangover remains prolong, though
season had changed numerous
stages, may be spring or 
autumn, someone
holds the 
hands 
in every step, the blues evenings or -
nocturnal loneliness, an 
indirect effect of 
magic or
love, 
remains into the persona, a prison, 
which is reassuring to the 
heart, an empty cage
 flying towards 
the sky,
to fill the chest by blue grandeur, the 
life at any cost; do not want
to accept the 
defeat,
