SWEETNESS OF PAIN

Even pains are sweet
If we know the art
In fact pains are sweeter
Like a bud with nectar
It bears in its womb intensity
And can blossom into beauty.

A SPIRITUAL REUNION

With all my morosity
You never deserted me

To all my apathy and rudeness
You replied in eloquent silence

Yes..many times you did sob and weep
I saw those tears while you were asleep.

The books I flirted with
Instead of your warmth
Never had any answers

Here I return to thy bosom
For the breast milk of wisdom
Give me an embrace
Accept my apologies.

INTENSE LIVING

If I had the faintest idea,
Of what I was longing for
I would have searched for it.

Strange is this language
Intense is this thirst.

A melody from somewhere far
Kindling the core of my heart


With burning passion and blind eyes
I am after the source of my unrest
My inspiration, my salvation.

ELUDING SHADOW ....

Thy was my shadow all through
Why I never did see you
Oh my beloved, thy taught me
The sweetness of intensity.

INNER ALCHEMIST

While I was desperately seeking,
Burning apart like a forsaken being
Oh! Alchemist in my trembling heart
How did I miss your melodious beat.
