Unraveling.......
2015 - 2019



While no logical conclusion, yet emerged
All plausible definitions, lack certainty
A void, in our understanding
Leaving us, as lost souls

While the purpose, is still elusive
And its origin, at best unknown
It's existence, is paramount
For continuance

While many accept, what's preached
Uninterested, how 'twas reached
I'm still prodding n probing
In search of that illusive

What we inherit, when birth'd
A pit-stop, on its journey
Answerable, to none
Its presence eternal

So here's my conclusion
It outlines, all living ghosts
Changing hues, while absorbing
The karma, of its intended hosts

It preceded, the individual
With certainty, survive it as well
For all intent, it's non-destructible
Only to be absorbed, in its bigger self

It's visibly, invisible, a cloak
Encapsulating, forever a companion
While influenced, yet never the influencer
Our only lineage, through many incarnations

The answer to life's triad mysteries
Answerable for our deeds, is incarnations
The purpose for our being, yet remain illusive
Finally, the nature of the everlasting soul, is - aura
After contemplating intensely, I find it defines the soul immaculately

A ballet by Full Moon
07/19/2019

As the dusk has turned to night
The lonely shadow now covers the earthly stage
Dreaming of his lover, the light, by Sun has parted
Reminiscing, of light's fold, through the length of the day

Sad was the lonely shadow
Longing to be with his lover once more
Wanting to hold her, in the passionate heat, as by noon
Pleads with the lords of the heavens for a chance
To hold his love, as she, the light of the Sun, held him

Feeling the sorrow of a lover, and hearing the plea
Moon, full, with all its glory, her daughter sent, to soothe,
The torment of the lamenting lover through the night
Once more, the ballet plays out, on the earthly stage
And just past midnight, the two lovers were one again

The shadow though knew, the light, by full Moon's grace
Played the lovers role, and held him in a cool embrace
And as the hours faded, the Moon too will leave this place
Taking her daughter, before dawn, and the lovers will part ways
As the shadow, dreams into slumbering sleep, on the earthly stage

Not knowing....
07/02/2019


not knowing what to say
I stumble for words, emotions on display

ask, and you shall be given
if ask we must, what's the point in believing

toil, and the reward be yours
toil they did, for blistered hands n feet n sores

pray, your voice HE shall hear
pray they did, must have fallen on deaf ears

what taught and told, most followed
suffering, as if in eternal hell, pride swallowed

sins of the Angels, HE not cared
like ***** and Gomorrah, none is spared

humanity, degraded, HIS name corrupt
blasphemy abound, not long, shall wrath erupt

souls to save, what to say
each word, for salvation, I must now weigh
Seeing where extremists are taking humanity, a storm is brewing

between light and darkness
only darkness it eternal

A ballet
07/13/2019

At the break of dawn, light
nudges her slumbering lover.
The cast of light and shadow,
pirouette onto the earthly stage,
and with every passing moment,
a new poise is shaped in place.

Now, the drama being played out,
that stretches all through to dusk,
the fluid movement of the artists,
mesmerizing objects in their wake.

It starts off with the shadow,
being nudged to life by light,
and the slow movement draws,
two lovers into each other's fold,
so by noon you see only one.

But like all the sad tales, this too,
by the beginning of the dusk,
see the lovers, part ways.
For light by Sun is no more,
and only the lonely shadow,
now covers the earthly stage.

Maybe if

'maybe if'
a road seldom travelled

'only if'
a road never travelled

'if'
an infinite distance
between
actions

Action

Every breath I take is action
Every step I take is action
Every thought generated is action
Existence in itself is action
