DECLARATION OF MY EMANCIPATION

Here I bid adieu to my desires and wishes
Here I am vomiting out the dogmas I swallowed
Here I submit myself to the laws of nature
And the well being of my fellow companions
Totality of both constitute to me what wise men called god.

Here I accept my limitations with no fear
The constraints of mother nature with cheer
Here I declare my engagement with reality
The feminine beauty often abhorred and ignored
For I saw her naked through the black veil
Greenly veins and bliss over her fair bosoms.

Doors are closed forever to those who knows everything
For knowing nothing is too grave a sin to be forgiven
The maxim of skepticism and provisionality henceforth reign

The filthy hands of corrupt society shall not touch me anymore
The bogus preachers of baloneys shall better stay away
For I value my chastity
Would like to safeguard my virginity.

ENLIGHTENED IN THE DARK

For decades I have been talking
Now in listening is my longing

For years I have been condemning
Now in contemplation is my being

Grown jailed deep in the dungeon of ignorance and dogmas
Caught up in the vicious cycle of intrusions and suppressions
Darkness, devil, illusions and hallucinations were my soul mates

Yet pure was my heart
Sincere was my spirit
The devil couldn't resist
Fell in love, self sacrificed

For mine sake she committed suicide
Her only wish was redemption of her kid

In the eyes of that pretty innocent creature
There was a ray of light, gifted by nature

With that single ray, I am searching for heavens
Where me and my mate got accursed once

I am prepared for an argument with god
To forgive the devil, halt the shedding of blood

When me, god and devil stand side by side
Whom do you think is to be blamed

From the cradle the little creature whispered in silence
'Welcome to the world of no blames and eternal moments'

AFTER THE MEDITATION ......(a poem)

In those moments of meditation
When I was under annihilation
Dissolving in the infinite mysteries
There was darkness, light and silence

Moments of order in the eternity of chaos
Reminded me of my origin and my destination

But I was fearless.....
Yes....I was fearless.....

I slowly opened my eyes
And saw a new world
Cleaner, beautiful and more ordered.

IN SEARCH OF THE ISLAND OF SILENCE......(a poem)

When I withdrew my self from the crowd
Turmoil of a stranger shade raised its head

Silence, like a shadow stay always a step away
So is its mature sibling......Tranquility

Long ago we parted
Now I long more than ever...
To be back with my first companion.........

I am reflectively traveling backward
Critically moving ways forward
Gets tired at times, but never sleeps
Hopeful, often crawl, occasionally leaps.

ARROGANT BELLIGERENCE.......(a poem)

The infinity of ignorance
That lay before my naked eyes
Used to induce fear, angst and fever
My feeble mind many a times did shiver

Seemed I was longing to be afraid
Searching for reasons, to be doomed
Exchanging freedom for slavery
What a disgusting irony !

Here now I declare not my independence
But mine arrogant belligerence
The peddlers of nostrums of neurosis
Will no longer roam around in license.

DOUBT, THOUGHT AND ACTION (a poem)

In the bosom of doubt
Lies the temptation for thought

Elegant indulgence in thought
Leads to the calm heaven of belief

And beliefs generates habits of action

But never are we satisfied
The cycle of doubt, thought and belief goes on.

The sensuality of the intellectual
Keep ablaze the lamp of creativity.

REGAINING THE LOST PARADISE (a poem)

Let us not hate it all

Let us not hate mistakes
Let us not hate darkness
Let us not hate doubts
Let us not hate failures......

Let us transform it all

Let the abhorrence quiver the arrow of longing
Let that arrow trigger us into high flying

In that flight let us sublimate
Then alone will everything be bright

Hatred of darkness is trite
Unless germinates the seeds of light

As per religion we are fallen angels
As per reason we are risen apes

We differ in the conception of origins
Never in the direction of destination

Let us nurture the infant of humanity
Let her glory transcend eternity
