You

Word,
let me be your mouth.
You,
you be the ink
that in my veins flows.

Vision

Vision

Open your eyes.
Nothing changes.
Yet everything looks
different

Sometimes even with the eyes wide open a little vision correction goes a long way as to how we actually see and interpret things. We dream with our eyes closed, sometimes open too, but to really see how something actually is we need to open our eyes. Nothing changes except the vision.

Water

Afternoon and evening rains are signs
our monsoon season is nigh
yet, some wells stay in drought...isolation
can't just clear waters of stagnant emotions

i need water flowing like blood through the veins
water creating brooks below green mountains
been trying to make this water flow, but in vain

when poetry hides, days become a drag
it's like walking without protective clogs
while crossing hanging circles of fog
descending......from towering crags...

Satisfied

Learn to feel satisfied,
even when
you are not full.

Sometimes we ask for more, even when we overflow. Then we should not complain if a tsunami happens . This is how it all begins. A wave is happy with it’s short dance to the shore and it merges back with the ocean happily. The wave that thinks it is the ocean and wants a separate identity gets engulfed by the ocean. Similarly we all are tied with beautiful heart strings. Why pull strings excessively and unravel! A gentle tug at your own strings diminishes the need for others to pull strings for you. Be happy wherever you are placed. One day you will know the ‘why’.
