I pray to thee from the altar near eternity
Let me be a disciple at the shrine
Knowledge which eludes the whole world
From here there is no turning back
All the truth resides here  
Now that everything loses relevance
Beyond the grip of time and seasons
No fear of losing and gaining
Only to acquire the knowledge of eternal truth
Here, I shall plunge into the entirety of Universe

Spanish proverb " the belly rules the mind " ..
Let's start then..

Firstly you must have all the ingredients ready
Your mind ( as per you )
Imagination 50gms
Dreams 20 gms
Inspiration 30 gms
Feelings 100 gms

Now
Rinse your mind thoroughly
With universal calmness
And marinate with sanity

Next
Butter it up forever
With inspiration
Make sure it's lucid

Now again
Create a wrapping of feelings
Careful add the least hate
And let it heat in the oven of trials

That's enough not more than a lifetime
Very important the plating

Take a clean sheet of life
Lay it over carefully
garnish with your experiences
And I guess that's ready

THE PERFECT RECIPE!
Life isn't perfect ...we are created to shape it !

If someday the world is turned upside down !
Would you care
To be my companion ?

The sky will be an endless pool,
We'll dive into the blue and drink of it.
I'll plant a tree at its shore ,
A tree of our hopes,
Watered with our deepest desires.
I'll tie a swing of our dreams on its branches,
And we'll soar higher into heavens.

If someday the world is turned upside down ,
Would you care
To be my companion ?

We'll kiss the suns sprouting ray
of crimson hue,
And the moon would sing us
Sweet lullabies by night
Trust me ! We'll ride the winged breeze
And write our adventures on earth's *****.

If someday the world is turned upside down ,
Would you care
To be my companion ?
Would you ?
When Life is all about possibilities .... Why be the one to make it impossible??

The mirror offers you an image
Mirroring your inner-self
Also reflecting your thoughts
Imaging according to your perception
Either you are in alliance, what you see
Or shocked by the alter-ego hidden
Now reflected by the crystal clear mirror
Sometimes the clarity is a revelation
Difficult to comprehend
When you are in front of the mirror
Standing in front of another ‘You’
It’s a dual versus you and your twin
Always carrying that image in you
Now clearly exposed by the mirror
Reflection of the self, reflecting on your mind
Is it a union of duality?
Seamlessly bound, unaware all the while
Until you confront the mirror
Challenging you with the duality
Not a deceit, but now aware of the self
Is it that the mirror gives a self-realization?
What the mirror offers, is not only an image

Open the doors inside your brain
See the possibilities of your mind
There's nothing to lose, only gain
You'll be surprised at what you'll find

Pull the old dusted ****
Let the hinges crack and creak
Feel the pain, your head throb
Wisdom comes to those who seek

Power, knowledge, and mystery
The power and the truth of living
The knowledge only to be free
The spirit of living is giving

Death comes to those who wait
So don't waste a minute
Death is for those who fear their fate
Live life and everything with it!!

When the whole world is in haste
And all the faces become blurry
At breakneck speed, commuting
To destinations of one’s choice
There is an urgency to catch up
Everyone going through an evaluation
The amount of happiness and agony
Not equally distributed in one’s kitty
Ostentatious lifestyles numbered few
Dazzling prosperity and earnestness
A world outside the ordinary
Everyone has an anecdote to narrate
Deep within, the urgency to live up
And meet the expectations of others
Forgetting to get a grip on our life
Why live someone else’s viewpoint
In a haste to keep the façade
Life has its pace and we outdo it
Being careless to not heed its calling
Life had other designs
Aligned with pace of nature
In our expediency, neither Nature nor Life
Are in sync anymore
When the whole world is in haste
Life is lived not the way it was intended

Morning dawns on everybody
Although some are in perpetual darkness
Who, can’t bear the luscious intensity
Anchored with heavy chains of obscurity
Morning never misses a date with humanity
Yet, so many shuns the warm embrace of morning

We walk into every walk of life
We have to meet with an open mind
Not clenching our hands
But extending our handshake
We are all connected, part of the humanity
It’s one heartbeat of the residents
Of this celestial body, we inhabit
We receive or reject the invisible signals
We call them vibes, sometimes they align
Understanding this multitude of emotions
From the inhabitants of this common ground
An open mind gives the space to analyze
Differences in the common species
Rituals, cultures, beliefs, faith
Different, yet part of this humanity
We thrive in finding a commonality
Looking at the bigger canvas, we feel the camaraderie
We walk together, with our friends from all walks of life
We walk in this cosmic space
And uphold the spirit of this celestial body

The journey is within
Know thyself
Haze of doubts will clear away
Soulful music will reverberate

When all the words lose their meaning
Only there are meaningless gestures
Fervently trying to make up for the loss
The body language gives off a paradoxical signal
And the soul is disjointed from the shell
Leaving speechless, for words have revolted
Futile attempts to convince the other
When nothing is in sync anymore
Syllables, dialogues, monologues fall on deaf ears
Speak from the heart and soul
And let not precious words lose their relevance

The fundamentals of simplicity is not fathomed
Entangled in the barbed wires of complexities
Simple words sing no more to the yearning ears
Heavy laden words and tedious conversations
Gnawing away at the precious moments of life
Disparity is making the divide in humanity
Thoughts no more in one’s control, all indoctrinated
Confusion and rage seems to be the new found ‘normal’
Wonder why simplicity is consigned to such a fate
Let there be a new dawn of realization, to simply live
Breathe in the fresh era of clarity, with no malice
Simplicity, I pray to thee, turn your gaze towards humanity

We found the fountainhead of the dark brimming night,
wasn't blue black as one would think, but white,
shimmering bright, flight of the pigeons, unexpected;
waves beating repeatedly against the shores, fluorescent blue poles,
seething in love and lust,bursting bright in overwhelming desire,
limitless yen to break every restraint, to merge and be only one.

put your logic aside and dive in to the phantom depths
where you reach without moving an inch in space,
blue receptacle, the cave concealing  silver sparkles
she and I were yin and yang, on an exploration of the self mountain
in the uniform of beasts, though in an incognito vacation in our forest,
it's all fantasy that creates various hues, black and white too

there were no butterflies with fragile wings under the starlit night,
when we wished the night sky was full of them, flying, alighting on our bodies entwined, in a frenzy; they tickled and caressed with tender wings,
like  dissipated pieces of rainbow, one following the other,
in a rare migratory path, across the horizon, in to the unknown.

the fountainhead of the night, we see it without even eyes,
interplanetary travelers we are, in our crafts, even if they look fragile,
the essence of being is beyond the realm of real,
                                                                ­           we had out of body awareness,
both imagination and dream are filled with
                                                                ­           undulating moon grace.

Soar higher and think beyond the skies
Searching for the unknown
May land you in familiar territory
Keep the wings aligned with the wind
Nature’s guide will take you along its path
The worldly binds chains us to the ground
Clipping our wings, not allowing us to fly
Heavy as lead, we drown in sea of expectations
Completely drenched, the body soaked to the bones
Lying there along the sidelines, waiting for the sunshine
To dry the body and soul of all the limitations
Gaining consciousness and power from the Sun
Looking beyond the sky, the unknown looks familiar
Sometimes unchartered path is more inviting
To a traveler like us, helping us to reach our destination
