THE SATURATED POINT - -

many times I've seen, that mind runs 

behind an imaginary line, to over

shadow the horizon, a desire

to get the sky in the lap, 

but it's not possible

always to win,

the hidden

defeat 

of life teaches a lot, a self correction

creates new definitions, again 

rise of aspire, gain and 

lose, the graph has

multiple twist,

in which

point

exists the address of contentment - 

not so easy to say, the conflict 

amid the sunshine and

shade goes toward

the eternal way,

till the desire

becomes

gray !

helplessly mirror reminds the reality

of face - -

THE UNSEEN TOUCH - -

echoes have been returned to their 

origin, the alone lamp of the 

temple burned for some

time, neither any 

knock nor

visitor !

an emptiness, profound silence, the

flying pages, the peacock 

feather, the broken

eyeglass, life

is hidden 

some

where on the margin, as underlined

delphic word, your love remains

unsolved riddles, esoteric

incomprehensible,

but I feel that 

healing 

touch !

THE TACTILE MOMENT - -

you're in front of me or an elixir urn is 

eager to flow over, this evening 

has its own glamour but 

lesser than your 

sliver, the 

drooping eyelid or tuberose cluster 

are eager to bloom, a rustle in 

the flower grove or you've

whispered some

passionate

verse, 

the indigotic darkness, shrinking the 

proximity, hard to say which 

side is superficies and 

where is the infinite

depth, strange

feeling

eddy prone moment, who knows the 

outcome of this obsession,

gliding away eroded 

shore ! and 

sinking

emerging the fragrant breath - - - - - -

THE REALIZATION - -

how to explain you by the word's trap,

it's the matter of heart, if you 

couldn't read through 

the eyes, the 

implicit 

emotion remains half bloomed, the

wet dreams often emerges on 

the edge of misty river in 

the winter morning,

on the residue

of  surface,

floats

some fragrance unexplored - - - -

THE MOONLIT ARRIVAL - -

As in an outlying, desolate cloister, the
obscurity suddenly wakes up with
the dim light of the earthen lamp,
something like that
life becomes
active
whenever I waited for you, the reticular
the soffit of the medieval era and throb  
graph somewhere feels
the fragrance of
wild bloom,
the
the saffrony western sky fills the passion
of bizarre perception, from the
a lattice of feeling drips
drop by dropping the
affectionate
touch
of your love, on that moment, life -
doesn't desire anything
except your
arrival,

THE ACCOUNTABILITY - -

don't ask the color of inner eyeglass, 

it changes with coordination of 

weather, in the same way 

I've seen the aspect 

of your love, 

ever too 

close 

sometimes beyond the reach in -

the game of light and shade

often emotion became 

misled, doesn't 

find out the

realism,

life wanders in the curved stairs !

albeit the destination exists

before the eye but mind

moves in the path 

of mirage, the

drop of 

peace goes dried up, the unknown 

combustion smolders day 

and night with unseen

flame, innocent

heart gets 

the 

pain unexpected, self determination 

when get lost - -

THE LIBERATION - -

what's in that obsession, which
not allowed me to mingle with
sublunary matter, just
pulls toward the
rings of
illusion, though living among -
the crowd, nevertheless
life feels the isolation,
the quietism or
liberation
from
self whirlwind, difficult to define,
a shadow chases or your
love trying to subdue
my persona, the
beautiful
world
of realism is leaving behind the
vision, what kind of land is
before me, neither
sky nor the
sign of
surface, pervasive emptiness -
everywhere - -

THE EXTREME COMBINATION - -

though that's apocarpous from

body but dissolved in the 

breath, with unseen 

pious scent, 

every

moment that incenses with a -

beautiful sentience, life 

alters from somatic

to abstract, a 

perception

of lotus,

blooms in its planet above the

sludge, unswayed from 

all the infatuation

trap, extreme

solidarity

with 

the gorgeous winter sky, entire

immense, unclouded,

engrossed in 

love of 

infinite fascination, undefined - -

dewy lotus 

ISN'T PAPER FLOWER - -

separated edge of summer; and slip 

away stream amid them some

where existed the breath

fragrant, you know 

or not but it's

fact that 

the 

hydrous feeling doesn't want to die! 

still some wet memories of rain,

the shadow of the stubborn

dense clouds, indelible 

few drops are 

remained

on the

transparent window of life, gallery of

emotion waits for delicate touch

of first morning ray, on the 

bougainvillea cluster

your love kept 

difference

of realism and fantasy, the thirst goes

toward the remote, though you've

hidden in the depth of 

heart - -

THE REFULGENT TRUTH - -

any other concept, a different context,

some fragrant moment, some 

beautiful thing, heart wishes

to repeat, let's emerge

the hidden emotion,

don't go away

so far in

the solitude, here life calls eagerly - - 

in the paradise of conscience,

inhabited the blooming 

valley of eternal

love, just 

open 

the eyes of mind, everything will be 

refulgent, everybody will be 

closer to the heart - -
