THE ASSIMILATION OF LOVE 

the last night you had embraced me 

in way that I still feel the apnea, that 

impendency raises the several query!

however on those illusive moments -

the blues unfolded the starry, bleak 

encampment, dreams were flying on 

the surface of relationship,standing 

near the creeper of passion flowers, 

heart had no escape corridor,the wet  

railing of balcony, said repeatedly it's 

raining in the remote of forest, hiding 

cyclone has its own perception, you 

can not easily redeem the touch of -

nocturnal fragrance on the body,love 

chases whole the life, all the times,

the tube roses hides the aquatic drop

carefully inside the closed petals, 

drown emotion has no other desire -

excluding assimilation in your love with 

complete authenticity, transparency 

its needed to sustained prolong aroma

in the corporal, spiritual planet with purity.

 The Concentrated Attention

the straying of mind had no certainty

it snips the life silently, from this sky

to that planet incessant race to fill the

desires,an addiction, a narcotism of

delusion invites implicit distress, pain !
heart roams on the plateau of drift -
valleys of emotion, sticking with lot of
dreams, life doesn't wish to face the
reality, in  subconscious actually we
creates the nice imaginary world, albeit
under the feet is laying helical spinose
path, the way of survival needs the affix

point of sorrow and pleasure,in the art
of balance my success was concealed,
though I wandered to search you -
everywhere, in manifold destinations, in
the dark,in the light while you have
already inhabited inner the heart since
first breathing on this planet !

THE REPLETION OF LIFE 

here all the arrogant thoughts have died,

heart becoming leaves of lotus, glass of

mirror, your love is droplets of dew, it's

glow of pearl, wet sensation of gracious 

charm flows silently through the veins, the

spontaneous perception pulls towards -

the dream, everybody emerging one by 

one with prayer's shadow on the faces, a

blessing's dominance, an origin of love 

in cognizable way appearing before the 

vision, negativeness is loosing the arena,

in the dense gloominess the ray of hope,

showing the path of adoration, somebody 

holds the hand softly, saying do not stop,

just follow the inundation of light, this is the

land of angelic beauty, ours and aliens -

no difference, do not hang back, keep 

continue the journey, towards the cosmic 

friendship, share the conscientious love in

way, entire planet is your beloved person, 

in that miracle moment I found repletion!

THE UNSEEN  ACCORD
appetency had the unlimited sky
relations changed the facet often,
sharing the laughter, smiles was
not the denotement that you had
reined on  land of fragile dreams,
might be you had won the body -
heart remained dry, acarpous
untouched planet of emotional
glassy surface, off and on we -
gazed to each other in profundity,
nevertheless real meeting point
left over in the far away horizon,
neither you understand the depth
of love nor reached by me to that

eternal destination, slash multiplied
several times, is equal to was -
cipher, the life didn't break the
equation, a cold war of sentiments
forced us to sign on the accord for
living together beneath one roof,
undecided competition laid on the
floor, defeat and victory shared the
mysterious couch, the unsatisfactory
attitude in life, unwillingly brings
two abstract soul near to nearer,
darkness increases the curiosity in
a way, we submitted the individuality,
 fear to loosing someone fills the blank,

THE CHARM OF DERELICTION 

derelict foams of seashore hides

oyster's untouched beauty, shells 

broken corals, twigs of weeds, for

discoveries, life needs inclination,

in this junction of earth and ocean, 

 heart floats to touch the adoration,

the sinking sun often leaves the -

some touch of innocent dreams on

the steady aquatic surface, night 

decorates the waves with moonlit 

magic,silence of shoreline creates

romance in the dried moment of -

life, unknowingly you hold hand, I

accept this submission by depth

of internal heart, as lifting beautiful

mosaic dreams from the wet sand!

the reflection of tiny rays of shells - 

filling constantly the passionate feels,

alone an unknown boat plunging in

its way, on the little turmoil waves,

restless pulsation searches, the point

to throw the anchor,near the edges  

of your big oval shaped eyes, life

doesn't want to separate the persona 

from your cryptic threads of trap, 

something unexplained sentiments 

brings me in your proximity with a 

distinct essence of scattering pearls!

UNTITLED
the fatal venom of hatred again

spilled on the road, fangs didn't

recognize ours or aliens, blood
hadn't philosophy of prejudice, it
flown on the street, walk as you
wish on the surface of pain, tear
drops, screams, bleeding hearts,
may be one day gate of heaven
to be permit you for entry, write
on the pious shrine the names of
dead innocent souls for blessing,

THE OWN CREATION

The salinity of life concentrated on only

self-created miseries, I forgot to smile!

a desire to get more than imagination

made me musk deer, ran after dreams

though happiness was in my nucleus,

do not ask again for the calculation of life

all the equations cheated so brilliantly,

entire the world surrounded the persona,

own shrinkage didn't share the emotion,

it's my image, impounded many times,

complaining regarding the isolation was

so easy, mind opted acting to win them all

people, the self-polarized method pushed

me in the corner of gloominess, here my

the soul has no alternative step, except the

compromise with the condition, actually

the heart doesn't accept the defeat, the mind

has a mission to win the planet, this passion

of unlimited reason brings me often near

to the mysterious thing, this wandering habit

makes life more twisted, coiled, self

centered, simple easier path was before

the vision, I had weaved the complicated

net, in four alphabets that while the -

extraction was hidden, I ignored the truth,

I forgot to love you with the depth of dedication,

THE TRAVELERS
perhaps they didn't wait for me

before the dawn, left the inn
to get the first hour train,

it's happened in the life

 several  times, the needle of
clock follows only the rules of flow,
the emotions had the wings
of butterflies, weak, glassy, feeble
from the eyes to heart was
a long distance, tried to reach the
tip of adoration, though didn't
know the consequences of  love,
on the footprints, somebody
had written the meaning of pyre
deciphering the sentiments wasn't
the child's play, the life twisted
in its circle, single meaning too, I
couldn't understand, aphorism of
tear drops had short life, broken
from the eye edges, scattered
soundlessly on the floor, later sky
has decorated the space with the
cipher-code of galaxy, empty platform
of station explained beautifully
about the existence of new dream ---

IT'S SO EARLIER
Precluding steps questioned often
touching to your persona, is it the
ultimate destination in life, I wouldn't
desire to see the death of dream,
from your subtle eyes, a prismatic
ray flows in way that I can see path in
the dense gloominess too, all the
masculinity here submits to adoration,
the definition of love, I do not wish to

change for an evanescent pleasure,
the bridge of emotions are so delicate
willingly too, I can't cross the stream,
the aquatic level is yet knee deep -
not so difficult to reach another edge,
let the clouds to be condensed on
blues, movement is needed to settle
down, dry monsoon has not acquired
the intensity of downpour, whenever the
flow of love would reach to the risque
point, I would be there stretching  the
arms, chest is towards the insulation
process, let torrential rain embrace the
desert of centurion thirst, do not break
the unseen boundary in premature way,
just minerals are now, in the furnace,
the purity needs the burning blue flames!

SELF IDENTITY

breakages of emotions, the antique 

glassy sentiments, it has had to break

one day, now it slipped from the hands

scattered on the floor, and broken, so 

what, life desires to collect all pieces 

one by one, reconstructing the dream 

has its own glamor, heart doesn't want

to  leave the crystal of eyes, it sparkles 

in the darkness of isolation, time's flow

had its different precedence, might be 

I tried to move toward the antipodes -

way, this imperil task taught to know the

veracity of life, compact, compromise 

didn't make me weak, I repaired the 

boat kept  voyage continues, you had 

no time to follow the waves, thanks for 

that, I have no option, barring to float, let 

the destination love me again with full of

passion, beautiful meaning to get in the 

misty trails that you provided the lost 

image, today I knew real self-identity!
