Try to understand
That’s left unsaid
Pick up subtle clues
Follow your heart
Calling of the soul
Sighs of yearning
After many eons
True heart calling
Just surrender
To be forever

All the heartfelt words
Are struck across with a line
Dividing each word’s meaning
Halved feelings of dilemma
The line created a divide
That was not meant to be
Either, stay in this situation
Or expunge them forever
Express your feelings
With new words

The confusion is envisioned
During the brief hiatus
Between thoughts

Through the vortex
It’s a spiraling journey
From the core to the edges
Churning out new realizations
Beyond your control
There may be many paths
But one destination
Journey shall culminate
Before entering another vortex
Spiral down in awareness
Of another avatar
A different journey
And another destination
It’s continuous

Life without the boundaries
Expands from now and beyond
Concentric circles of consciousness
Waves that binds with cosmic reverberation
Creating intricate patterns of responsiveness
Mind holds the multitude of thoughts
Where they essay a beautiful narrative
You, the protagonist, mirrored in different light

Gazing at the star filled sky
Makes the silent night worthwhile
These bright spots of light
Birthed from starburst galaxies
This diamond studded night’s canopy
Brings glimmering hope in my eyes
Chiseled with perfection
Lights are not going to shut off till eternity
Looking at the night sky
Is gazing into eternity in this lifetime

There is meaning within a meaning
Heart always wants to decipher
After unwrapping the myriad layers
With dexterous thinking and imagination
Every meaning is unraveled with time
It’s a labyrinth through which life goes
For the true meaning is hidden always
One who wants to seek passionately
Will trespass all the arduous challenges
Lay hands on the hidden key
To open the cherished door of the heart
True meanings are intricate ciphers  
Only the brave heart can decipher them all

The night’s ramblings
Whispered incoherently
Hearts synced forever
Can comprehend them
It’s a winding labyrinth
Hand in hand
So as not to lose each other
By the moonlit path
Incoherent whispers
But meaningful conversations
Laying supine under starry sky
It’s a dream together
Preparing to fly to destinations
Night’s ramblings
Have given a new meaning
To the adventure of life

Words once birthed
From the labored thoughts
To express the once unspoken
Adopted by so many
To give a meaning of their own
Words see so many facets
Of our inner feelings
Into the realm of eternity
Before silence takes over
We shall rely on our words
Weighing every word carefully
They become our extension
We shall fall silent one day
But the words shall remain after us
Trying to give a glimpse
Of the life that we had lived once

Your thoughts echo in your actions
Each having their consequences
Positive actions disseminate gracefully
Creating a lasting bond with the soul
Pass on your thoughts to beautiful minds
Positive actions can build stronger bonds

We have complicated the meaning of simplicity

The first kiss of the morning light
Cannot tame the blooming bud
Waiting to flower in full glory
Opening up its world to beauty
Waiting for hands that nurtures it
Not a drop of nectar is abandoned
Before it yields to the fleeting world
But the beauty and aroma will linger, forever

A kiss evokes eloquent poetry
Each line recited in harmony
It’s a silent symphony of souls
Feelings sway in an ecstatic stupor  
A new world becomes a reality
Where just two souls find abode
A poetry chronicled by the confluence
It’s a masterpiece

Sitting near the window
On a mellow morning
There’s a palpable eagerness
To wash away the summer heat
The nearest tree branches sway
In anticipation to welcome the rain
I can feel leaves talking to each other
Sudden gust of cool air touches me
Making me aware of my presence
May be the rains are on their way
The tree branches do an ecstatic dance
I look up at the accumulating clouds
Suddenly the sky opens up in happiness
Sound of rain is like the sweetest lyrical notes
There’s flowing elegance in the air
Rains wash away the last bit of gloominess
Here my heart wants to get drenched
I finally join the trees and birds
And get the taste of refreshing shower
Rains are here and there is hope writ all over

One cannot communicate
If the words are incoherent
There’s so much distance
Between the mind and heart
Impossible to traverse
Communication a distant dream
Words create a haze
Unaware of the growing chasm
Only heard are echoes of agony

A poet is omnipresent
Travelling where none has before
Everyone has a secret destination
Loved more than any
So many roads travelled
Yet the poet’s soul is not weary
So many reminisces from ancient times
Poet’s soul is older than time can perceive
Taking notes from the chronicles of universe
Poet is testimony to many anecdotes
Traveling through the length and breadth
Touching lives of multitudes
Poet shall live within the poetry
Conveying the mystical and universe’s secret
A poet is omnipresent
Poetry shall encompass all of existence

Draped with nothing but eloquence
Every contour chiseled to perfection
Love flows delicately to drip off the edges
Hearts take a plunge into the sea of passion
A synchronized display of two entwined souls
Lost in the haven, love writes an enchanted tale

The dichotomy
Splits the life
Sometimes goes deeper
Creating chasms
Trying two balance
Can’t stretch more
Wider the abyss becomes
Threatening to engulf
The life

It’s hard to fight wrong perceptions
For they are etched so deeply in minds
Unbecoming reasons obliterate the real sense
When nothing makes sense anymore
Brazen display of the fault lines
Weaken the social fabric

Across the blank pages
The poet’s heart sleeps
Stretching the soul languidly
As feelings stretch to words
Etched are the elegant lines
The soul becomes a contortionist
With amazing grace and flexibility
The lines grace the blank pages

Sing me a song o' morning birds
Invite your friends to join the chorus
Let the morning begin with your songs
You flew from afar to make this morning beautiful
Your songs will stay in my heart forever
You bring the distant dreams near me
Making my heart hopeful
I shall also give wings to my dreams
Please carry my dreams to distant lands
Paint an artistic pattern across the lovely blue sky
I will wait for your return o’ messenger
For now let me drown in this beautiful ambience
My heart wants to get up and dance
My feet will match the rhythm of your songs

Follow the footsteps
That invites you to
A different path
Which leads
To the abode
Where love dwells
Doors ajar
To welcome
The traveler’s soul
Hands hold
Your treasured belief
All encompassing
There is warmth
To soothe the soul
Not weary anymore
After a night’s slumber
It will be a new awakening

Please dissolve your feelings
And make an exciting concoction
Let’s drink from the cups of love
For passion swims freely sans words
Let love flow freely between our souls
Get drunk and enjoy the stupor
Let’s meet at the confluence of love
And drown ourselves in ecstasy

Ships won’t be anchored forever
Rusted anchor will break free
Its weight will help sink deeper
With a loud clunk, noise will dissipate
The ship will set sail once again
No weight is heavy enough to overcome
Steered away to distant land
Searching for newer shores and destinations
Away from the land of constraint
Ship will sail safely through deeper waters
Navigating through inclement weather
Forces of nature will test its strength
For the ship shall find the happy shores again

Love this life
Sift through the
Intricate layers
Difficult to
Differentiate
Look closer
Pick each layer
And find the
Treasures
Hidden between
Not no visible
To the naked eye
Shades of love
Adds color
Becomes easier
To visualize
Life’s meanings
Written in
A language
Best deciphered
By the soulful one
Decipher love
Every day
Of your life

Look no further
For poetry is within you
Let the soul flow freely
Listen to the quiet murmur
Tranquil, flows feelings
Time is on an eternal journey
Mind maps the path
Life’s notebook adds a blank page
For everyday anecdotes
Let the blood flow happily
Take the nature’s course
Every journey a revelation
Look no further
For poetry is within you

We wait for light to dawn on us
As we plan our dreams at night
Planning our entrance to a new day
Knocking on the door we visualize
Run a path of with so many errands
Tired soul, looking for the right exit
Before we are shut out into the cold
We need to enter through the exit
As darkness descends at the day’s end
Many travelers prefer the starry canopy
The wild wilderness and embrace night
Inclement weather one has to weather
Drenched to the soul and feeling tired
It’s time to go look for the shelter
Darkness brings us closer to the cosmic beauty
As we retire exhausted, we travel unknown places
Universe holds so many secrets
Hidden from the bright daylight and noises
Night cuts out the unnecessary activities
As we delve deeper into our souls
Looking for another path to follow
Waiting for the dawn and many chores
Night’s light shall finally drape our soul
As we retire again for the night

Free your soul
From the sinister trappings
Of the worldly pleasures
Once you seek within
Soul wakes up to your call
Protected by the aura
Of the purity of the universe
Disentangled from greed
Free from all illusions
Free your soul
Realize the eternal potential

Poet, the soul of poetry
Every stirring within
Comes alive with words
Feelings flows like rapids
Cascading to greater depths
Restlessness of the poet’s heart
Makes an emphatic splash
Over rocky beds of the fall
Time and again they hurt
Yet, feelings won’t stop flowing
Creating more rapids
Sometimes deluging the poet’s soul
Poet, the soul of poetry
Muse will always come to the rescue
Poetry will always flow

The red orb of light
Brilliant crimson shade
Flames of hope kindles
Wakes up sleepy skies
Once lulled by the moon
Now retreat to rest
Dawn calls on everyone
Birds in perfect symmetry
Making beautiful patterns
Winged silhouettes fly
Morning dwellers
Wipes away the dreams
From heavy eyelids
Takes them in handful
To set them free
Morning’s red orb
Pours life with joy

I welcome the breeze
From the distant land
Brings fresh happiness
Lifts the veil of doubt
Reveals the inner beauty
Many rich aromas unknown
Intoxicates the senses
Travels through unknown corridors
Not even the corners spared
Soul breezes along with pleasure
Some unknown music notes
Hits the heart with marvelous grace
Intermingling of two waves
Brings harmony and peace
I welcome the breeze
As I surrender to the weightlessness
My soul feels loved and joyous
Tears of joy mingles as sweet droplets
Floating with the sweet breeze
Fresh breeze from afar
To which I surrender at will

There’s nothing to hold on to
Or things which we can take with us
Fleeting moments of the surreal
We magnify the perceptions as we travel
Nothing more than a realistic mirage
Travelling through the tunnel of time
There’s nothing to accumulate
Our souls are free, without possessions
Do not hold it back with shackles
Time will wither away in an illusionary darkness
We travel with an anticipation of being immortal
Truth is we are always free
Often we have to listen to our soul
Leave possessions behind and look ahead
There’s eternity looking at you with eagerness
