Credit me for your failure
Blame me for your success

Most wounds heal inspite of
Pain forever remains because of

Real beauty lies in the action
not in the reaction.

You are my odd
against the rest of
the universe...

No fence, no boundary
No gate, no door.
A grain of sand
Is all I am.

No name, no fame
No pain, no gain.
A grain of sand
Is all I am.

No copyright, no issue
No love, no hate.
A grain of sand
Is all I am.

Need to give, YOUR'S
I may not need to receive...

Have you ever
felt lonely while
being with someone?
Get into a
relationship with aloneness
You’ll never be lonely again.

Alone
yet accompanied
by the sea
called humanity
I walk each day.

A step
closer to You.

My loved ones
nothing but
porcelain dolls,
to be
handled with care,
fragile
so easily broken...
i dare not hold
with trembling hands.

Am I your thought,
your desire,
a mantra you chant,
your creation
OR
a figment
of my
own imagination...

ALONE,
yet accompanied...

I have created
so many relationships
that
sometimes
I find...
No me
For myself...

My longing needed a face
I particularly liked yours.

My thoughts needed nourishment
I chopped bits of you to chew on.

Hear me with your heart against mine
Taste me with  your mouth on mine

You are the ink that flows in my verse
You are more than ink, more than verse...

I should have told myself
a long time ago,
I have a right to breathe.
I should have told
you a long time ago,
I can’t breathe!

By the time you feel
the need to build bridges,
I would have destroyed
my bridge building material.

There is no smoke
without fire...

Why does the worst
smoke spew when
the fire is put out*...

I am not
a statue.

For you to put on a pedestal.

Waiting to break
the minute you drop me.

If you are in a hurry,
go ahead and don't
bother to wait for me.
My life still needs me.

Some untold stories,
an unsung song,
an incomplete conversation,
an unread book.
Some bridges to build
some to burn,
wounds to heal
fences to mend
relations to tend...

In my hurry
to catch up with you,
I breathlessly ran and
I left behind
so many moments,
breathtaking moments.
Let me catch up  
with them now,

I'll catch up
wtth you later...

It's cathartic for me
to tear a paper
into million bits
and offer it to the winds...

That's not why I gave you my heart.
Was it your catharsis...

Everyone knows you are not with me.
I prefer that they believe so,
This way you become everything,
I taste you in every meal,
i add all of you to everything I do, you shine in my word and we savour each other in aloneness in your being the centre of absence.

It’s so beautiful
how the universe aligned
to push me further  
into the storm.
I would have never
found the calm
at the centre otherwise.



So grateful at everything and everyone that was wrong for me. What I found so tough to understand and undergo is what I call my spine.

The chaos in my mind
is where I find peace.
Everything within peaceful...
Outside only noise...

Making a choice
is being brave.
It is so easy to
lead a double life.

Everyone is
Connected.
Everything is
Connected

Every action
and inaction
has consequences.

Nothing belongs
to you or me.

Teach me O Master
to live like a mirror
that
speaks not
conceives not
rejects not
contains not

Break all moulds
the ones I know not
especially ones I know.
Take away things
what I need not
especially ones I need.

*Nothing to lose
no life to cling to.
No doing, no undoing
You call, You consume
i wait to dissolve.

Don't create
Friends
or
Enemies...

You'll get
caught up
in your
own creation...

Learn to
remain in
solitude
with everything
around you*...

My little one
boils a kettle of emptiness
on her little toy stove.
Careful, I caution
don't burn yourself my dear.
She pours a cup of
Emptiness,
carefully without spilling any.

Ah delicious! I fondly say
as I sip the emptiness.
This is a game I play with her
and isn't it creative how  
she taught me to savour
Emptiness
Everyday.

Don’t become anybody’s crutch.
If they stumble and fall
everybody blames the crutch.
Yet I managed
To become your crutch.

Some people enter life,
with a permanent
contract of your
destruction and demolition.
They never leave till the job is done.

In depth
there is
fear and insecurity...

Therefore
people prefer

The shallow
Tried and tested...

One day I will wake up
from this living dream
a prisoner of my thoughts.

One day I will dress up
in the finery of my shroud
as I leave these old rags behind.

Come in, raise a toast
friends waiting, six feet under
to scrape the last bits of me.

Come in as I set myself free,
look in the mirror and find me
I have a new way to be...

Own nothing,
Owe nothing,
that adds upto
Everything.

Trust and Mistrust
Are both based
On rationalization
Of facts.

Finally beyond feeling anything
No scope for damage control
Crushed  and finely powdered
Passed through a sieve too
No scope for further damage
Finally beyond wear and tear
Living death like life depends on it.
Finally beyond all healing.

Time fleeting
a thought
of You
arises...

Breath fleeting
yearning to
hold You
arises...

Death pauses
I still
have to
make You
my life...

The mind is my cage,
thoughts painted gold
pin me down.

Wide awake,
I pretend to sleep.
Who can awaken
this fool
Who
lies awake...

Thorns given by you with love
can be my garden.

Freedom is
when your
conscience
doesn’t
accuse you.

Freedom is the belief
that no one actually
has your back.

Friends are like parents
who hold us
when our steps falter.

Friends are like siblings
great to fight with
great to celebrate with.

Friends are like mirrors
they never let you
fool yourself.

Friends are like the weather
your personal sunshine
on a rainy day.

Friends are like make up
they always make you
look better.

Friends are like alcohol
they always
put you on a high.

CHEERS TO FRIENDSHIP...

I would rather be empty
Than lead a shallow life.

The empty cup
the empty jar pours into
That's fullness...

Nowhere to go
Move within
The ocean drowned
In the drop
Within...

I come knocking at my door
Nobody
Lives here anymore...

Better
to finish
with people
who feel incomplete
with you...

My wishes for all of you...
Not just limited
to this year but
to all the
years you experience
in this lifetime...


Hope the years
are fun filled, smashing,
rocking and happening
just like all of you...


Wish you all happiness,
joy, peace, and
other beautiful feelings...

Happiness arrives
tries to find room
in my house
but is only a guest
so must leave someday...

Sorrow arrives
and occupies the
room happiness vacated
but can live until
someone else comes knocking...

But YOU
will forever remain.
My substratum,
even when the house
exists no more
You, who I dare to call mine...

Hopeful,
Hopeless,
essentially have the word
Hope

No one can prove
the presence or absence
of that which is
Omnipresent
yet does not exist.

Some things
never change
with time.
We seek
those things
as they
assure us
they will
be there
for us
when we
wake up
   Tomorrow

The sun, the moon, the sea, the sky,
                           *You
