A new dawn bathed in dew
I have possessions few
As I walk towards You

Awe in my eyes and a prayer in my heart,
I have a song in my soul
As I walk towards You

I feel light as a feather
That floats in all weather
As I walk towards You

I see how the vast open space
Holds the earth in it's embrace
As I walk towards You

I savor the serene silence
And fathom the reason for our existence
As I walk towards You

I feel your divine grace
Comfort and solace
As I walk towards You

A new dawn bathed in dew
I have possessions few
As I walk towards You

Do you know why the oceans roar
Day in and day out on the seashore?

It is with great sorrow they cry
As they try to reason why

Why they have a great belly-ache
Why garbage has become their daily intake

Dying everyday are dolphins and whales
Big and small fish on large scales

Plastic and trash are dumped in waters blue
Disposed by tons are oil and chemicals too

Mankind solely responsible
For these crimes so reprehensible

I gaze in raptures
at your bright beautiful face
and my heart brims with joy
how lucky I am to see
the full moon every night

There is no rhyme or reason

Xmas is the season

My hearth aglow with lights

My kitchen smells of sweet delights
I wish to share the joy

With kith and kin

And strangers, ahoy
In the midst of the faces

I adore

My thoughts are also

on those not ashore
May this season
Bring, A rose,
a ring,

For that Matter
anything

That warms  
my heart

And gives me wings
To fly

like a dove

spreading the
message

of peace and

of love
 
From Artic to Antartic

From Africa to America

From Russia to Asia

From Europe to Eurasia
Let us all join hands and pray

That God bless this planet Blue  

And bond our hearts with his

Special glue
So that we sing in unison

We are one, we are one!

That for whom I with fervor prayed
Are you that someone?

That whose poems are possessed of passions sweet
Are you that some one?

That whose nature like angels is
Are you that someone?

That whose eyes
view all as children of  God
Are you that someone?

That whose grace is like fragrance
Are you that someone?

That who in rhymes and rhythm I searched
Are you that someone?

That who can repose deep in my soul
Are you that someone?

That for whom I with fervor prayed
Are you that someone?

Love and life
Take a walk together

Love asks life:
What will you be without  me?

Life smiles and says

Attached to none I am

Beauty or no beauty
Riches or no Riches
Purpose or no purpose
Pleasure or no pleasure
Hope or no hope

I stretch endless
I continue relentless
I was here before you came
I will be here after you are gone

But when you accompany me on my journey
Love,
You bring beauty
You bring riches
You bring purpose
You bring pleasure
You bring hope
For
You dear love
Are a true measure of me!

As I start to sip my tea
I see the screen flash
in front of me
children killed
women *****
and left dead
here and there
it seems everywhere
the blue seas
are turning red
this unnamed terror
out to maim and slaughter
amidst a growing hate choir
the world has slowly
turned into an abattoir!

Darwin caused quite the revolution
When he propounded the theory of evolution
From the amoeba to the **** sapiens
Gradual he said was the divergence


Bohr’s concept rang true
Matter made of atoms was his view
Protons and electrons spun in their own orbit
Holding life  in their ambit

The collisions creating energy kinetic
Life became electric
Theories became ecelectic
Men became a little neurotic!

The fall of the apple with spontaneity
Newton attributed to the law of gravity
Nothing in life could stay up for long
All to the earth belong!

Einstein’s thoughts took flight
and raced with the speed of light
With tremendous acuity
As he scripted the theory of relativity

Life was accidental
The discovery monumental
Chemistry was fundamental
Carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, elemental


Watson and Crick sought to unravel
Two strands twisted in parallel
At the core of life lay
The magic of DNA

Space stretches endless
Through galaxies seamless
Artificial satellites do traverse
Yet unexplained remains the Universe

Physics became nuclear
Chemistry capable of terror
Biology turned molecular
Yet the meaning of life remained unclear

Emphasis laid on reason
And impeccable logic
Of analysis statistic
all things scientific


Bemusing and beguiling
Inspiring and Intriguing
Studied in parts never whole
Unfathomed yet is God’s role

Beyond reason lies intuition
That forms it’s own perception
Each of us have a vision of our own
Of God’s incredible creations

Deep in meditations
Unaware of limitations
Insight is incidental
Truth is transcendental!

Languid lives we lead
lazing in front of a screen
content to hear and see
images playing out a life
idyllic or illusionary

Secure and happy with no fear
Lest we get too attached dear
We build no real contacts
Content with signed contracts

Distant from the heart we pray
Please stay away, stay away
I am happy in my glassy island
With pebbles, moss and some sand!

All that I ever wanted
Was to be by your side and to share
The sounds of the seas with you
The sea shells on the shores with you
The silences of the shining skies with you

All that I ever wanted
was to be by your side and to share
The solitude of your soul with you!

Blades of grass in the periphery
running to keep up with the wind
the wind gathering great force
to catch up with the speed
of light.....

the light all knowing, eternal, immortal
peaceful light...

why the chase?

I am there wherever you are within you.

On the walls hang, mirrors that mime

The grainy images of shifting time

The past depicts a picture old
Of strokes unsteady and light
Life viewed in plain black or white
One of immense immaturities
and  inane oddities

Three quarters of the body made up of tears
Emptied over some thirty odd years
At times like a trickle or at times like a flood
Salt and water depleted from blood

The heart pulsed erratic
Thoughts turned eccentric

Soon I learned to find solutions
To life’s cryptic equations
An addition here, a subtraction there
Little adjustments everywhere

The future saw  life unfold
painted with strokes steady and bold
Life showcasing many a crease
The portrait though is very much at ease

There are no fears and no salty tears
Knowing that life is on a short lease
With the world, now I am at peace

I envision
A mesmerizing meeting of our minds
I envision
A synchronous beating of our hearts
I envision
A torrid tempestuous teaming of torsos
I envision a symphony of our souls
I envision a
Love so potent, so profound
A paean perhaps to paradise found

The ocean is but a liquid sky
The sky is but an ocean dry!

Dare I then
Fly in the ocean
And swim in the sky?

Life and death are
but one
In dimensions two

In the very beginning of time
there was fear of life
and a desire for death

Until one day
fear and desire
places changed

Now
Life is desired
And death feared

Life and death are but one
In dimensions two
