SHAKING THE DIVINE REALM

Deep within the depth of darkness
Far beneath the voice of masses
The infant in distress cries and howls
Helplessly striving at dismantling deadlocks
To have a glimpse of the morning sun
To feel the freshness of free air

The wall is vaguely transparent
And thick like a foggy glass
Though rays can penetrate
Yet difficult to breakthrough

The struggle shook the divine realm
The merciful lord ordained " Lo ! Teach him
The lessons of Shawshank Redemption"

Anxiety about Reality

If it is part of reality, in the sense that it has a significance beyond the personal, we don't have to be anxious of loosing sight of it. We will confront it again and again in one form or the other, in one corner or a different. Benefit of doubt is an insult to truth. By virtue of its characteristics, the best thing it deserves is negation, so that ultimately we realise its concreteness.

MISTAKES

Mistakes connote the spirit of experimentation, in spite of the probability existing for failures and personal setbacks, despite of experiencing them. It has little to do with being dumb, scared and erring there by. It is a way of life, where life is an experiment - experiment with truth or falsehood, as one wishes, all at one's own risk.

Waiting for Rebirth

I saw myself
Through eyes of others

I became blind
And cursed darkness

Soaked in tears
I melted to death

Dead, relieved
Sat waiting for my rebirth

TEMPTATION

Paradise unveiled
Mind overwhelmed

Fruit beckons
Serpent dances

Reality fades
Vanity rules

Axioms lost
We glide into
To be kicked out
Deceived, disowned.

Contradiction

Desire and the desired will slip from you ....
Fear and the feared will dawn on you....
She is a walking contradiction
Beneath her bosom lies salvation

CONFESSIONS OF A CONVALESCENT

Whomever I hated or thought of as my enemies, were mostly those who did not see things through my eyes. Experience revealed the fact that my eyes were only two among the multi billion eyes existing. The hope for a better future lies in the ability to see the world through others eyes. Ironically this begins with the eyes turning inwards, for he who is a stranger to thyself will be a stranger to everyone.

WAITING, IMPATIENCE AND ARRIVAL

I was waiting, waiting..
Impatience was looming

I still waited
Impatience bottled

Stirring was intense
Wide open were eyes

When will be the arrival?
Heart burned like hell
When will be the arrival?

I was tired
Waiting ceased
Impatience faded
Mind slowly detached

And it arrived !
There it stood
Right in the front

Buddha smiles.
