DESIRE : Today.....Tomorrow....

TODAY:

I knoweth....
I ought to be away from thee
Still I am hovering around your castle

Do I really knoweth?
Or is it just an illusion.....

Oh DESIRE....
With what have you adorned yourself
My senses - unawares of wisdom
Is still hovering around your castle.


TOMORROW:

After the lengthy hours of today's sleep
The lonely hours of my meditation
In the solitude of tomorrow's dawn
When I disown you like a stranger
Oh desire - my childhood companion
Do not abuse, accuse me of ingratitude
I acknowledge...and will acknowledge
You breast fed me as a toddler.

MY NAME IS EVOLUTION.....

In the darkness of night
Before going to sleep
I take my daily bath.

The impurities that you saw today
Will vanish into the dark in the sleep
The rejoice you felt today
May lack reason tomorrow

Lo ! to add to to your embarrassment
For few sleep is the synonym of meditation.

In Search of Lost Love.............A Tribute to ONV......

An attempted translation (not verbatim) of a yesteryear malayalam cine classic of ONV Kurup.......sung beautifully by K.S Chithra.............

Aaa rathri manju poyi.......Aaa rakthashobha manju poyi..............


That night...........that vitality..........those thousand dreams............
All faded away like an evening shadow into the dark........long before............

Here, in this sunset, I am again at your doorsteps with my offerings....
With those unsung songs.......once forgotten ones..........in a new voice....sweeter than the earlier........

Today I can open the magical box of fairy tales and fill your empty moments with.....
.....gems........unseen, untouched and unique.......

Like the kid feeding her baby doll with folded tender leaves.......appear before mine eyes my beloved.........and quench mine thirst too.......


I will tell you the stories of fairies........who took births as butterflies to romance with the flowers down.........

Once again my dear..........allow me to feel the rhythm of your heart beats ............. warmth of your breath.........your dove like innocence..............
............You the synonym of pure love..........

Words of Wisdom

Things ain't so as it seems
Reality ain't so as we wishes
Let us not befool ourselves
Let us not embrace ignorance

FEYNMAN called me a PHILOSOPHER !

I wish I could cry
But I am not able to

I wish I could die
But I am not able to

I wish I could love
But I am not able to

I wish I could hate
But I am not able to

I wish I could think
But I am not able to

Good for nothing
Feynman called me a philosopher!

LIFE

When all might is lost
Life flies like a broken kite
Random walk in the height.

Child is innocent
Better to say ignorant
Enjoys playing with the wind.

Then comes the manhood
Instinctual, emotional turmoil and flood
Despising oneself, everyone and god.

Many a sacred idols reveals its reality
Silly mud, clay, futility and vanity

Handicapped, yet belligerent..... hail humanity.

To My Muslim Brethren and Sisters.....

Oh.. my Muslim brethren and sisters..
Thine lord has sent you three books
Ye took the shortest ...out of laziness
And is reading it with closed eyes
From a restricted corner of darkness.

In thine forehead is the stamp of self deception
In thine mind lies neither analysis nor affection
Humiliated, thou silently takes pride in crime
Stands bewildered in the threshold of death and life.

Give your ears to the trumpet of a renaissance
Inject in your veins the spirit of Muhammed
Let the fragrance of the sweat of super man break forth.

Ignore the comments from the street
For most of them knows you not
Rest have fear lurking beneath.

Once the three books are merged into one
Nature, the beloved and the holy text
And the verse that proclaims 'mercy to the mankind' read aloud
Air of freedom filled with peace will decorate the land
Unheard melodies will spring forth from the desert sand
Tagore, Rumi and Blake will dance hand in hand.
