Even before eyes could find the door
Sunrise knocked
I stumbled in my cobwebs of sleep
Walked out of the door
In the full glory of a smile

The blanket I wear on all occasions
Is gathering patches of pain by day
And every night when I throw it off
It moves on from the night sky to dawn
Gathering more patches of pain.

Some times stars
Sprinkle their desires on the rough pattern
That my blanket carries
Some times
Dawn, leave traces of dew drops
In the wild passionate love
That the night makes in the cosmic fabric.

Some times, the Sun disowns the love
It has for night and its stars
Some times, love does not even know
when its lost in the passions of physical pounding,
Loving, cries being merged on a negative staff.
Some times loving, the being
Does not know whether its an insect
Or a butterfly, thats lost among the lotus pond.

One by one
All desires
Are stripped
Plucked one by one
From the roots to the sprouting leaves
And leave the imposter hope
naked.
Where are you, I am lost in wishes
Soft, and neutral self.

Two small verses about nature.

Sunset
Sets the day
And rest

Between me and sky
Sea sets its foot down
In rain

The water fought hard with the waves
Trying to hold its own reality
On the surface
Waves won


Deep inside
Lake withdrew deeper
Left the waves to play
With the air, earth, water
and
Fire


Suddenly there was a splash
A rock solid thought
Plunged deeper
Calming senses with its force
The waves, the water, the earth
And the fire


Lake opened itself
Felt the rock sebmerged within
Unlocked the deepest desire
And merged within the consciousness
The space within the thought

Lake
Water
Earth
Air
Fire
and
its own deepest desire

There is a very thin line
Between love and lust
Between sea and sky
Between me and you

Such a fine line
That I can see
Touch it from
Here
Enclosed in the high rise monster
(That mostly dot the sea face, all around the sea in Mumbai)
reaching out to be.

From here
-Where silence is whispering to the sea
Waves percolating through my window
Where darkness of my ****** thoughts
Seep in through the night's gateway
A window with three glass frames
Barred, framed and up-curtained
Unveiled and naked.
From here I see it all bared


I can actually reach out
And separate them
The love and the lust
The entangled Sea with the sky
Create a divide between them
With my desire
To BE

Some times I just want to BE
Some times Sea in all its thrashing about
With waves and tsunami's just want to BE too
Some times the sky
With its dark cloud and their silver linings
Just wanna BE, you see?

Some times all of us want to
Reach out
Separate love from lust
And desire just to BE
Just to BE in love
Pure, undiluted, undefined, unnamed
Unbinding, untagged
Just Love,
LOVE,
I Love to BE

She sits across, in the restaurant
In the green corner of God's own country
Sea waves wet the beach
And the sunset
Moist her eyes
As she looked *******
A fresh face, across the tables...

As I watch in the light
From beyond Horizon
Her Old memories
A tug of war
between life's triumphs
And lost battles
How life exchanges moments
Silently between them

A young story
An old memories
The sun sets over
One shore
On the other side
Its a new sunrise.
