once there is absolute silence
only then one awakens to
the intense sound of

Ignorance of the unknown,
is the recognition of intelligence

Absence of knowledge,
is the limitation of the intellect

The soul inhabits the habit
The habit the soul inhabits

Is it the age old question?
Or the old age question?

In the deep state of meditation

I look yonder and see the ocean blue
I look down and see the valley green
I look over and see the field of golden hue
I look up and see the colors of aurora sheen

what?

Love is intoxication

When struck, its addiction

When fulfilled, its exhilaration

When unreciprocated, its devastation

Love, is an addiction

Valentine
02/14/2016

A day to celebrate Love
An emotion that starts with oneself
And then radiates outwards
To all those that we love

Oneself, concentrically existing
Extending our Love
Radiating like ripples
Circles growing bigger and bigger

When we can embrace one closest to us
Meaning us
And then the one next to us
We bring harmony to our own environment

While we cannot reach everybody
But with a smile and love in our heart
Maybe we can change a few
And bring harmony to them

So, on this day that celebrates Love
I wish you a Very Happy Valentine's Day
May Love permeates all that you are
And all that surrounds you.

Vortex

Vortex of birth and rebirth
Understand we must
What is a life worth

SPARKS B R I D G E D the GAP
SHUDDERING, BODY AWAKENS
THIRSTY for HIGH OCTANE
ANXIOUS to be let LOOSE

The CROWD is QUIET
The one NEXT to me is FIDGETY
We Both **** SMOKE
With every drop of HIGH OCTANE

Come on MAN, let me go
I can already taste VICTORY
I can see the FINISH LINE
That we shall pass in the BLINK of TIME

Muscles wound up, aching
The COUNTDOWN goes from red to green
Left behind only BURNT smell
Where RUBBER meets the ROAD

The whole thing LASTED only a few ticks
But what a THRILL
I would surely need new RUBBER
Before I'm back at the STARTING LINE.
My first whack at jovialty, frivolity

What and Why
06/11/2021

Ejected from the warmth of womb
soon after, anxious mind, neurons fire
What is this, and that, and that, and
When I learn to put two words together
frustratingly, all everyone hears,
why? why? why, why, why?

What Will Happen If
01/27/2019

The Human specie disappeared

The earth will still revolve around its axis
Causing day and night on its surface
The planet will still elliptically circle the sun
Causing the seasons, life's nourishment
The rain will still fall, and the rivers flow
The plants will still grow and fruit and flower
The birds will still sing, and the insects hum
Mammals and the animals will still roam amid
The forests that will still lushly cover the land
The oceans, where the life began, will churn
Continuing with its amazing eco system
Of abundant blue green algae, krill and coral
Teaming with microbes, fish and mammals
Life will continue to evolve with each passing day
Causing birth and rebirth and survival above all
And upon extinction of one, others will be born

Alas! The annihilator, we humans are still here

What Will Happen If .... II
02/06/2019


The human species disappeared

The scars left on its surface
And the deep cuts in its belly
Man made structures untended
And mass **** of its valleys
Will be healed by the specie
That allowed others to survive
Though it itself was tortured
By uncontrolled greed and drive

Left behind those timid species
Bred for food and pleasure
Will soon succumb to predators
For no longer pampered as treasure
Those that were caused to go extinct
Regrettably, can no longer be revived
The only solace one can muster,
Those left behind, multiply and survive

Towering structures and machines
Caused by bleeding the land
Show as pock marks on the surface
Over time devoured, where they stand
Left behind also those petro-products
That will take eons to disintegrate
Being absorbed in soils and oceans
Causing survivors pain to regenerate

Choking gasses will immediately cease
Giving survivors a chance and comfort
While the imprint of humans left behind
Eventually crumbling to dust and dirt
As Earth, instantaneously starts to heal
It's amazing, a tiny specie called man,
Even as new eco-system come into play
Caused such destruction, in short span

Earth will instantaneously start to heal
Surviving species taking only their need
And eventually balance will be restored
As future be devoid of man and greed

When awareness first awoke
03/13/2020

When awareness first awoke
Midst of void, unknown
Who am I?
What am I?
Where am I?
Why am I?
How did I?
The questions flowed

In the pitch of monochrome
The unknown couldn't be known
In the non dimentional void
Existence couldn't be shown
How to then reconcile
What awareness thirsts'
Found itself, the primal seed
Creation yet to come, forth n burst.

Who am I, the question roiled?
No knowledge had yet foothold
How to define itself and all
No definition had yet been caused
What am I, as a follow through?
Matter/energy yet to be formed
Who and what now left aside
Leading to an obvious chide

Where am I, on a universal plane?
Looking outside of oneself
Void in all directions
No depth, no sense of scale
How to account for ones measure?
In the absence of beginning's source
No form, no function yet unfurled
Creation has yet to form its course

Why am I, struggles on?
The primal seed, excepted not
How did I, equally baffling?
Answers not, where questions form
What caused creation into existence
Forcing original seed to explode
It's desire, that played the joke
The enabler, of all that unfold-ed

When Day Fades into Night
05/28/2019


When day fades into night,
there's a certain transformation.
In creatures of all size,
To hunt and for relaxation

Cats of the savannah
With stealth in their stride
Wild dogs and hyenas
Following the pride

Eyeing the fields, are
Foxes and hounds
For a better view
Meerkats on the mound

The night urges get strong
In groups we conspire
For the satisfaction of this
Our primal, desires

Ignited by the genes,
Becoming victim of the senses
Transformation being complete,
Losing all the defenses

Female gender being cats
Males you can guess
Both being hunted, in the
Dangerous game of live chess

WHO AND WHAT .......

THAT WE EXIST IN A PHYSICAL STATE IS UNDENIABLE
THAT OUR PHYSICAL STATE IS VALIDATED BY OTHERS IS UNDENIABLE,
THAT OUR PHYSICAL STATE IS TEMPORARY IS UNDENIABLE
THAT WE EXIST IN THE VOID AND VACUUM OF SPACE AND TIME IS UNDENIABLE
THAT ALL ENERGY/MATTER IS IN PERPETUAL FLUID MOTION IS UNDENIABLE
PERCEPTION IS UNDENIABLE
OUR IGNORANCE TO FULLY COMPREHEND PERCEPTION IS UNDENIABLE


OUR SINGULARITY (INDIVIDUALITY) IS UNDENIABLE
UNDENIABLE..........UNDENIABLE.......... UNDENIABLE
EXISTENCE OF NON-EXISTENCE IS UNDENIABLE

Winter of life

In the warmth of the afternoon Sun
And the chill in the air
I look at the green
And wonder about those not here

The menagerie of movement
That I saw in the spring, summer and fall
Is not vibrant no more
For the lack of outstanding invitations or call

In the season of winter
There is a little sadness after all
Most everybody is regenerating
For spring, summer and fall

There is no reason for dismay, my friends
For like cycles in seasons, are cycles in life
While some moments are trying,
Most are full of promise and smiles.

It is easier to bear, the winter of life
Knowing no matter how hollow
The blooms of happiness
Will soon follow

So learn from the nature
Take it, a moment at a time
Don't be disheartened
Know that soon you shall shine.

WW1 - They were all Related
2019



And yet, there stood opposition, finely clad, gloriously
Thousands to prove their mantle, in call of duty
Misplaced loyalties, knowing to never see the dawn of day
Sacrificing, neither for personal gain nor profit, nor
for country, alas to appease the whim of squabbling siblings
Such poems a plenty, staged for kings n generals, no not for play.

The taste of sour,

Oh! Krishn, play the melody that will welcome me into your embrace,
and if I must still endure, repent and do penance,
then may I hear your flute that may ease my pain
Till, when, I may hear the melody that may welcome me into your embrace

ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई
10/17/2015

ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई, ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई,
पीछे मुड़ के देखा तो, पीछे मुड़ के देखा तो एक अन्धेरी सुरनग बन के रहे गइ,
ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई,

सोचूँ, अभ में सोचूँ, आगे कहा तक चलना है, सोचूँ, अभ में सोचूँ आगे और क्या क्या करना है
वक़्त एक एसी जनजीर है, वक़्त एक एसी जनजीर है जिसकी कड़ीया गिनना मुमकिन नहीं,
ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई,

बचपना अभ याद नहीं जिसमें खेले थे और पले थे, जवानी वो भूल गए जिसमें सीखे थे और बड़े हुए,
वक़्त एक एसी दलदल है, वक़्त एक एसी दलदल है जिसकी खाई से निकलना मुमकिन नहीं
ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई,

इस सुरनग के अन्धेरे से कैसे निकला जाए, आगे भी तो कोई रोशनी नहीं दिखाई दे रही
वक़्त की परछाईं में ज़िन्दगी गुज़र गई, भुडापा नहीं, अबतो किसी और का इन्तज़ार है
ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई, ज़िन्दगी, वक़्त की एक सीडी बन के रहे गई
