the sanctuary

the sanctuary given by you in the

torrential rainy night of monsoon,

knowingly that i am a soldier of

rival country, applied the medicine

on my multiple wounds, i had seen

the flow of benevolence in your

eyes, my hostility changed the path,

in the morning, allegation raised

by the monastery, they declared you

as traitor, i had looked a divine light

in your innocent face, you accepted

silently the venom bowl, but did not

disclose my hide out, my died ethics

woke up, i surrendered my self before

the mass, i recited-

buddham sharnam gachhami

shangam sharnam gachhami

after that i observed your image

remained in the heart forever -

COMPROMISES

1

heart is reached in some distinct

stranger habitat, something unique

untouched territory of nature,

cloudy mountains, lush green jungle

i could hear the sound of waterfalls,

from far away, virgin wild flowers

intact aroma flying in the gentle wind

creepers trying to climb the tree

falling down again and again, as wind

touching the tender stem softly but

delicate emotions desire to embrace

the awning, here life is free from all

the relations, just wants to exposed

the hidden ambitions, my heart wants

to say loudly - i am wild, do not touch me .

2

the inclined life, as the soft winter noon,

contacts were bloomed, in the morning

i had recieved fragranced greetings, how

to say, dreams are ended in the horizon,

your weary face waits for new creations,

i would be happy, night lilies will bloom,

evening says- just keep some little space

in the heart, sunflowers nodded the stems,

may be darkness has a longer expedition

i know, but somewhere dawn is awaited

in your closeness life revives beautifully.

3

do not ask to me, how the bridge

is collapsed, soundless, slowly the

city of blessing sunk into the gulf

raising hands of emotion couldnt

reach to the life boats, you were far

away, near the edge, i accepted the

destiny, and hidden myself forever

i found peace, a silence benieth

thanks to you, for leaving the hand

dream is broken before the dawn.

4

subversive flow of a torrent

eroded the rocky bank, later

you compromised with me

though the beautiful moments are

no longer remained in the eyes,

life looks across the memories

you image mixed in to the

speedy waves, residues changed

the colors, i pathched the emotion,

any how, once you loved to me

i shunned, touching the old pages

let it extinct itself in lap of time.

SOMETIMES

1

seismic behavior is very easy to

tear down the beautiful creations,

formation of elegant, nimble art

needed a prolong dedication, as

consecutive emotions go through

to love a symbol,face for decades

statue becomes live before the faith

why not the living organism to be

tamed, love has the solution, just

apply that, wilderness has not only

one sided, softness is always hidden

under the aggression, explore the

profundity of the termoil ocean,

precious gems are abundant in the

heart,loving touch is essential to

get the extraction of perfumes,

blossom desires caring hands,

2

silence sometimes says numerous

a smoke goes up, makes obscure

sequence of reality appears itself,

in the darkness pain increases axis

mirror becomes active, secrets go

through the depth of heart, egos

challenge the persona,the soul wants

liberation from the pseudo image,

answering to own, is the most difficult

process, but it s needed sometimes

self purification brings the winter

with marvelous blossom of thought,

perception of love has no boundary

i never tried to make it limited, narrow

that's your determination,how to

describe the depth of emotion,

ETERNAL LOVE

ancient exodous taught us

to live in peace,adoration

near the bank of the life river,

migration brought us closer to

each other, to feel the pain,

whirlwind silently moved to

some other direction, a will

among us sustained, we made

the new shelters, persistently

emotional planta were grown,

dreams decorated to desires

leaves, buds, flowers emerged

we exchanged the eye dialects

touched the heart with love,

later created the perfumed land

with beautiful colors, flavors

imiginations were converted

on the reality, sparrows were

inspired, accepted co-existence,

moon pleased, dispersed the

milky light with full generosity,

since i searched your image in

side the eternal depth of heart,

lovely icon

unveiled today my love before



the world, why you depressed



circle of life has unlimited rings,



may be an object for an individual



whirling emotions move in speed



centred to an unseen lovely icon,



perhaps you looked only one color



heart stirred with mosaic shades,



my destinations were not estimated



valleys, flowers, rivers, sea, moon



i know them, feel too, life doesn t



wants to hang around visions only,



internal eyes performed its



role gracefully, i found a beam



piercing to the soul for liberation,



appealing to embrace the ugly



faces, oozing wounds, to give them



some hopes, i refuse to my desire,



accepted the penalties in true love



to follow the path of authencity



i left the familiar trail, let the



destiny has to decide the result,

a candle -burning all the times

beyond the horizon a candle -
burning all the times, did you
remember,once we pledged to
share the elations with suffering-
strange faces, we conversed that
our love would be like jasmine,
universal aroma, no concealed
just like jypsy clouds, no shelter
feathers of beautiful birds said
get our colors to fill the feelings,
coral reefs indicated the the path
for touching the  depth of pain,
i observed,there was the waves
of ocean in to your eyes,willing
to walk on the desert surface,
along with me to disperse the
love, compassion to lamented
eyes, we wanted to exchange the
hurt emotions, let it invigorate
i know, you loved me sincerely
but our love was caged,let it
unshackle, as condensed clouds
desire to down pour in molecules.

the unseen destination

the pigeon flock is on the move
vast blues fascinated them to fly
some silvery clouds desire to stay
as unknown accord between us
says- let the blossom spread out,
the silky sun light of after noon
resting on the bougainvillea herbs,
in your proximity, dreams reborn
your persona reshaped swiftly as
touch me not- tiny flowers with full
passion, i looked you with stable
eyelashes, scented twilight walked
slowly under your inclined face,
the delicate lips wanted to hide the
emotions,sweet smile unfolded all,
i know, your heart is restless, desire
to listen my beutiful approach, in the
darkness i said- love you, softly
you move the face towards tuber-
lillies, i saw they gradually open the
petals,fragranced moments dragged
us, and we lost the unseen destination.
