i have been writing poetry for some time now though it has not been a steady effort. i do it because it takes my thoughts into a pastoral setting where i can be one with my deepest desires and feel the serenity of Nature. / / All my poems have copyrights.
What of it if I lose the pack
And steer my horse
Toward some uncharted course
The scent of unfamiliar air
Renders my spirit refreshed
The call of the unknown
An invite to feel- good fear.
What of it if I fail again and again
And never become worldly-wise
The Universe is vast, deep and strange
Who is to say what lies
Beyond cosmic curves.
What of it if I'm a dreamer
A lone traveler in tunnel of Time
Imagining of rare hours
Of undivided tomorrows
Which might never come to be
What of it if I die tomorrow
At least my soul will be free
Bereft of Temporal things
And I be no more in name
Just in atoms utilized
In workshop of Nature
If I come back again
And go through the cycle of pain
Would my fate be the same
Or worse or better or in between
Either way my soul be imprisoned
En route to yet another
Chance for redemption
Such existence may be meaningful
In the eyes of multitude
But for me life has no real meaning
Just a ship vacillating in the sea
Of darkness and light
Just a season for Love and Hate
To compete over their rights
Just a theater play effecting
Comedy and tragedy.
I may be bad but not that bad
To trample on mankind's success
An uplifting and frightening feat
Displaying the climes of evolution
What captures my heart and mind
Is the fire that refines me
And toward truth drives me
I may be an exceptional creature
Or may be just another fool.

'Tis all a chequer board
of nights and days
Where destiny with men
for pieces plays
Hither and thither moves
and mates and slays
And one by one back
in the closet lays.
The moving finger writes
and having writ
Moves on, nor all thy
piety nor wit
Shall lure it back
to cancel half a line
Nor all thy tears
wash out a word of it.

Not here and not there
By earthly measure
Not in Right and not in Left
By philosophical pace
Not social and not anti-social
By Nature's press
Not of new school and not of old one
In State of Universe
Uneventful and melancholy
In spite of happiness
Not in mind, not in body, not in heart
My sphere broadens in offbeat lot
As if to tell me of unseen light
After all the revolving of now and then
After all the passing of spatial turn
After all the climbing I took in vain
After all the fallings that put me in pain
After all the sunny days or sunny ways
After all gloomy times and varied haze
After encountering few forbidden fates
I have concluded that my beating pulse
Belongs everywhere
And nowhere in slice
I am the substance that keeps the spice
I am the spirit baking the skies.

Spring of Love releases
Raw emotion and tender touch
Where body heat boils devotion
Evaporating liquor of doubt
And the bond wonders
How long it can last
Love in its Summer grows mature
Regulating the pulse of soul
And smoothing out the rough edges
Though animation is still there
Keeping the attachment afloat
Autumn of Love turns flame to furnace
Softening the flow of heat
To seal the pull of attraction
Sanctifying the shared belief
Love in its Winter breathes
The fresh air of halcyon seas
Content with its journey
That ends in wondrous heights.

I'm the ocean and the drop
A matter aging with time
And the light in timeless flight
A separate explanation of season
In connection with universal drift
I was first born in a star's core
Engraving my eternal state
My second birth out of flesh
Swung open the transformation's door
I'm not just transforming constantly
I am the transformation itself
Juggling energy and matter
As the sheriff of Universe
Like billions of other beings
Though they may not be aware of it
Like quintillions of other things
As if they have magical wings
Following the universal pattern
Of changing back and forth
The Universe creates constant disorder
While maintaining the illusion of order
What am I
I am the micro Universe
Letting the macro one observe itself
While it is observing me
Letting it breed through me
I am the cosmic song that is heard
Throughout galaxies and beyond.

A butterfly lands on a rose
Exploring the heavenly seat
Its wings fluttering to the heat
Arising out of mutual caress
A crow watches from a branch
Absorbed by the enamored scene.
What really goes on in the world of Love
The world without art or artifice
That sparks attraction
With the strangest window of chance
Love doesn't care how long loving lasts
What counts is the kindling of spirits
That would prolong Love's legacy
Prolong its never-ending fantasy
Despite all its contradictory notions
So why Love always drives the emotions
This is the mystery Love never reveals
For it is much brighter than human light
Love has been praised for millennia
In the same period, ridiculed and rejected
Love has been coping with such duality
Neither of which appeals to its taste
Love reads the essential vibes
Of every creature little, big, fool or wise
Love only needs the collective breeze
That transforms the reach
And calms the tumultuous seas.

How can I tell a story
That has no specific beginning
No measurable middle and uncertain end
This is our story
When began, who knows
And through its middle stages still goes
Are we headed to an exploding end
Sending our existence to naught
Or can we survive the inevitable
Through the harmony of our intelligence
That would allow us
To relocate beyond Earth
And keep on relocating
To keep our end elusive
Human survival could go on forever
If we all pull together as a team
Rather than destroying
One another's dream
Or even worse, lending a hand
To the evil end
By annihilating our time beforehand
Our story is of cosmic fusion
Passing through stoic Space
And Time's illusion
We are able to make our story endless
Through interstellar journeys
Fueled by our curiosity and genius
The backbone of our survival so far
So are we going to climb high
Or plunge low in greed, power and hate
That will wither the flower of humanity.

I'm on a spinning ball
And I do not spin
Air is all around me
Yet I cannot fly
I'm mostly made of water
But this water doesn't run
I can think of anything I want
Though the thinking isn't me
Despite being inwardly blind
I can see light years away
I am in a maze of matter
But somehow I find the way
My left brain deals my devil
My right brain lends me a god
Am I in a void of cosmic blend
Continuously walking the bend
Or in a state of constant relations
With the symphony of generations.

There is a fundamental flaw
With the way humans plan for future
I'm not including all humans of course
For always a small percentage
More precisely, the exceptional ones
Find the way to transcend the limits
Such individuals can be clairvoyant
Even though not proven scientifically
Or self-made individuals tackling destiny
Or prodigies, geniuses and wizards
With the magic of their own
No, I'm talking about the garden-variety
I myself am a unit in the run-of-mill crew
However, I'm not including myself
Because I never think of the future
I care about what goes on in the moment
Regardless of what tomorrow may bring.
The fundamental flaw
Lies in the definiteness of planning
Whether it be educational, occupational
Financial or matrimonial attainments
Most people keep on making plans
Left and right without a tinge of doubt
In their minds and become disappointed
Or even shocked when things don't go
According to their expectations
I have witnessed first-hand
How few of my friends, acquaintances
And some members of my family
Fell victims to rigidity of their intentions
To the commanding confidence
With which they made future plans.
Doubt should be a part of
One's daily diet of thinking
I have heard that love is blind
That justice is blind
Well, unrefined confidence
Is blinder than both.
Nothing ought to be taken for granted
In the here and now let alone
A time we have no conception of
Except that we shall see it
If we are lucky enough.

A flow of ancient air by chance
Passed through the lattice of awareness
Confusing its framework
Thoughts no longer held together tight
The strands of understanding
What felt certain as day, as night
Lost its grip in coherence of doubt
Lost its rhythm exploring
The presence of untamed dimension
The soul remembered its song
Recognizing the imbued deception
How a moment transforms the path
Resurrecting fire's desire
Transcending heart's breath
And laying bare injected truths.
