Manasi poems on Hello Poetry

prasad bolimeru Nov 2014

the moments stretched
from no-where to no-where
the never ending river of night
on this bank, gathering
my incomplete fluttering dream
orphan seeking a little space
in the boat of sleep
*manasi,
the morning star is fluttering
like the mischievous destiny.
let not ----
the dream like a broken tune
and the strings of tides like a frozen fate.
manasi, oh! manasi !
do not be a mirage of ecstasy!
let the dream not be a dream
let the desire be not a desire
let this journey not be an exile
time is melting, no, it is an illusion!
in fact----------------------i am melting !
--------- from no-where to no-where!

MANASI --- THE PERSONIFICATION OF HEART

prasad bolimeru Dec 2014

WHAT ELSE ?

what the cloud knows?
except melting with the cool touch of the breeze

what the rain knows?
except carrying the heavens to fields without invitation

what the stream knows?
except offering fruits with the spirit of sunlight

what the tree knows?
except caring the cloud that in the cradle of sky

O manasi* !
what the baby ,the seed, knows?
except creeping into dreams on the lullaby of love

what you know, o my manasi?

except gifting a pearl in the oyster of my heart
the passionate tear in the eye
the patient smile on the lip
the reason to live--- what else is needed?

---------
manasi--- the personification of thought, heart...
