Ripples In My Life

Painting on heart slab of mine

Me, an inspired artist

Trying to express

The challenges of life.

Off and on I stand

Back from my easel

With growing tenderness

Add strokes of experience.

Fire of desires...

Add few more strokes

Myriad lights, glow on canvas

Mysterious shades, slowly advance.

Brushes of wisdom

Dipped in Ganges of tears

Create elusive pictures

With a divine approach.

Ripples break reaching the edge

In tranquil waters of crystal lake

The self-merge in self

I watch like a serene sage.

Touch On The Curves

Beyond the lakes

the mountain echoes.

In the garden of love

a soft breeze whispers.

Fragrant verses, air sings

Dreamy cherries bloom to swing.

Eyes shine when sound meets silence

in a shady space, in a distant heaven.

Soft souls are in tender twist

luring streams under blue skies.

Waist beads rattle when love is in air

Curves dazzle in glory and dance bare.

Now our hearts cast a humid light

Over the far hills, singing a serene beauty.

Sweet dews make our wings wet

We are cut in a silken net.

Love shines on the eternal moon

Fire in radiant eyes, a glow of June.

Dancing boughs stretch their arms

Drifting away the souls with charms.

A sweet song sings dancing hearts

Brushes with colours touch my art.

Don’t Look For Me Love !

Don't look for me Love,

in the inert form of leaves of fall...

There you would find not me

but the fire of anguish,

There droplets of dew hide the tears.

Don’t look for me Love ...

on the earth…in water...in land or in the sky...

in the heaven exalted or in the hell condemned…in their mere songs of emptyness...

I am not there ...

Nor am I there in your memory's

quiet vault forgotten or awakened ...

nor in the casket of your heart as the dream of green survived!

I am in time...would merge in its unbroken flow, in its limitless spread

and in its unspoken word

as one with you

in your state of being united!
