Be not in search
of any miracle:
hold closely to yourself
choose the path you desire
have in mind the ideal
light up your inner self's fire-

each life has its own mystery:
at its labyrinth is a hidden world
untainted, pristine, unfettered, bold
beyond reason's touch or measure-

the self is the unfolding
of the sublimest beauty
its edge the universe encircles
nothing else is comparable -

into a brave new world
you have entered
its wonders are unparalleled -

rest unto yourself:
you've overcome all odds
and rendered
the best possible--
there's no need at all
for you to search
for any miracle!

The honour inside
is many times
more worthy
than that outside

Marriages---they struggle-
some more, others, less
that's marital nature
but not devoid of happiness

Don't ask
you well know
I'm not up
to the task-

You're
a fast runner
I'm only
a crawler-

you're a high-achiever
I'm a constant loser -
you're such a fine singer
a simple tune I can't render-

Your dad is a banker
mine is a farmer
You live in a mansion
I,  in a shack -close to the ugly prison-

Your wife wears the best diamond
I gave mine a cheap watch as a birthday present
you drive in a million-dollar automobile
I cycle to work up and down the hill-

I've said enough
I trust
and you know too well
I'm and will never be your class

I don't need
to metamorphosise :
I'm more than happy
to keep my shape and size

If yourself
you don't own-
of all people
you are the most forlorn.

Social Media

They said
the obvious-
readers regarded
it to be genius!
