In the terrain of a barren forest
In the forlorn of a lost ship
In the godforsaken-ness of fate
In the inhospitality of people

Either sides of the dunes

There walks Majnun, in rugged clothes
There sings Meera, in wedded bliss
Both - immersed in the dreams of LOVEz

Both delicate, both innocent
Both pure, both true
Both fresh - like budding blooms

Both living in harmony with Nature
Waiting for Krishna's and Layla's arrival
Knowing their BELOVEDz will come

Both - still intoxicated in LOVE
Half closed, drowsy eyes,
Blurred vision, drunkard steps
They walk, dance, sing and fall
Awaiting their LOVERz call

Don't show complete callousness
Do not wake these LOVERz at all
From their disconsolate state of being
Let a dust-storm or lash of rain
Shake their heart and being
As if Krishna and Layla
Have shaken their soul awake

Startled at the LOVER'z touch
Meera and Majnun look around,
Astonished & glancing everywhere
Searching to find their LOVERz
"Where is Krishna? Where is Layla?"
They run wild - deliriously mad

Until they find a mirage & a silhouette
In the blank space of air around them

There they rest - sit and talk
They laugh and chat in LOVE

Only we realize and know that
There is no one around them

Yet only they can see their LOVERz
Only they can feel their BELOVEDz
To play a colorful game of LOVE

Let Krishna give Meera a kiss
Let Meera twirl one more round
Let Layla peck Majnun cheeks
Let Majnun sing one more new ballad

Thus till date they are remembered
As tragedy folk-lore's LOVE
Our tragic LOVERz-BELOVEDz
Our Meera-Majnun

All these happens on
Either sides of the dunes







I am talking of fearlessness

"Fearlessness..."

The same fearlessness
Shown by Christ on the cross

The same fearlessness
Shown by Gandhi
For his non-violence

The same fearlessness
When Mansoor said "I am YOU"
Was lynched & cut piece by piece

The same fearlessness
Of Meera who sang for Krishna on the streets
When she was humiliated, ******, made fun off

The same fearlessness
When Radha danced for Krishna
Even after Krishna left Vrindawan for Dwarka

The same fearlessness
With which Hussaiyn Ali
Martryed his life at Karbala
While trusting someone

The same fearlessness
Of Sita when she withstood
The tests of Rama's accusations

The same fearlessness
When Bahi Taru Singh
suffered governor's brutal torture

The same fearlessness
When Mirziyaan gave his bow & arrow
To Sahibaan knowing that
The tip of his arrow may be blunted
Leading to his death

The same fearlessness
When Romeo drank the poison
And Zuliet stabbed herself with a dagger

The same fearlessness
That made Layla fall sick & died on hearing that
Her Majnun is roaming mad in wilderness;
Later on hearing about Layla's death
Majnun died near Layla's grave

The same fearlessness
When Rabia wanted to
Cease the fire of hell and
Set alight hopes of paradise

The same fearlessness
Of Rumi who guards
The divine light of LOVE

The same fearlessness
When one is compelled by
soul energy to LOVE BELOVEDz

That is the fearlessness
I am talking about

"The fearlessness of LOVE"



My BELOVED, I am not at fault
If LOVE happened between us

You took my heart away & now
Why are YOU offended by my LOVE?

You have become me, my Nature
Nothing else satisfies me

Oh, I am a mad LOVER of yours
Who will understand my LOVE?

I am in LOVE even with the dust
Below your feet on which you walk

You are the one who makes
Everyone dance around you
On your finger tips

Just be aware and awake to my LOVE
YOU are the only one to heal me now

Just come and give me a glance
And save me from this mundane life

My BELOVED, do not forget that I am
Meera, Rumi, Rabia (BELOVEDz) of yours
Zuliet, Layla, Heer (LOVER) of yours

You are my BELOVEDz
You are my LOVERz
You the beauty of everything
Existing in nature

I do not want wealth, power, fame
I only want YOU my LOVE

I do not believe in GOD/dess
YOU are my only ALL MIGHTY
My past, present, future
Your LOVE "is" all the TIME

Roaming all over the world
My BELOVEDz, I finally reached here
I still hold my last / final breath
Show me your face one more time

I've come to your doorsteps of heart
Knocking your inner core - SOUL
With lots of hope for Eternal LOVE

Why your eyes are filled with tears?
Why are you crying dear
Seeing me hopeless in YOU LOVE?

Now promise me
YOU will never ever think
Of going away from me

You are my coracle, my Noah
Take me across this ocean of fire LOVE

And let me sleep forever in your lap
Let me float in fluids of your womb
And be born again as "us"...

Let us dance swirl in our LOVE to COSMIC BLISS


I'll go beyond words
From cowardice to courage
I am going to appease my BELOVED
With my songs, poems, dance & antics
By walking on the path of LOVE-fire laid
I'll try to break down every wall between us
I'll try to burn every veil between us
I'll annihilate myself to illuminate my BELOVED
Only when my BELOVED's heart melts
I'll take rest, or else
You will find me in my burial
Then don't forget me in your tears
And when you see me smiling in your melancholy
Do call me YOUR TRUE LOVER...




A millennium back
Our fate decided
That we were destined
To meet like this
As strangers...

For LOVE to touch us
For LOVE to happen

Nor YOU nor I
Could have stopped
This LOVE to happen

We were mere puppets
In the hands of fate

Good thing is
Rather than fighting LOVE
We surrendered to accept it

We made choice of not
Harming, Hurting, Hating
Humiliating each other
Or anyone else

We made choices
To be kind, caring
Respectful & trusting
To be compassionate and
LOVING towards each other

In your LOVE
I became a Radha
And a Meera
And a Kabeer
And an Eve
And a Kaiz
And a Rumi
And a Rabya

You became my Krishna
And a Layla
And an Adam
And a Zuliet
And my Allah-Hoo

Wherever I stand and BE
You are there
Everywhere for me
You've became ETERNAL
Part and parcel of my SOUL

We've stood by each other
In thick and thin
And we intend to do so forever
To keep our conscience clean

She's been enjoying her time while living and working in London.

And Nicole Kidman was clearly thrilled to be one of the star guests at The 60th Women Of The Year Luncheon & Awards in the British capital on Monday afternoon.

The 48-year-old actress - who is currently starring in West End play Photograph 51 - cut a beautiful figure in a multi-tonal lace dress as she arrived at the prestigious event, held at the InterContinental London Park Lane.

The willowy beauty covered her slim figure in the mid-length dress, made up of several different lace panels in pale lilac, purple, yellow, black and white.

Cinching in at her slender waistline, the dress billowed out into a full A-line skirt, and also included long sleeves.

A Victoriana-style high-necked black lace section finished off the gorgeous garment, giving her a serene, ladylike air.

The Australia actress teamed the eye-catching dress with a pair of strappy black heels with pointed toes, and a tiny black box clutch.

Her pale red locks were swept back into a chic updo, her mid-length fringe framing her face.

The actress' bright blue eyes were highlighted with just a touch of mascara, and her beauty look was pulled together with a pretty pink shade on her lips.

Nicole was one of many star guests at the annual central London event, held to honour amazing women across all industries.

The famous event, which paid special tributes to six remarkable women from all fields, saw plenty of other star guests in attendance, with 400 in total at the luncheon.

After rising to fame as the winner of this year's The Great British Bake Off, Nadiya Hussain was one of the star attendees at the highly-significant ceremony.

The talented baker and busy mum, 30, rocked a simple and chic ensemble of slim-fitting black trousers and a crisp blue blazer, and bright turquoise heels.

Another familiar face was singer/songwriter Katie Melua, who opted for a cool androgynous ensemble.

The Call Off The Search hitmaker showed off her lovely long legs in a pair of black leather trousers, teamed with a sheer white blouse, a blazer and a cute black ribbon ******* around the collar.

Writer-comedian-actress Meera Syal rocked a typically unconventional ensemble as she arrived, cutting a striking figure in a bold patterned shirt dress with a lovely long black scarf and a jacket thrown over the top.

Princess Diana's glamorous niece Lady Kitty Spencer channelled a power-dressing 1980s vibe in a standout black shirt dress with bright, colourful buttons donw the front.

The pretty blonde finished her luncheon look with a chunky white clutch bag and perspex heels.

Choreographer and former Strictly Come Dancing star Arlene Phillips was a chic addition to the guest list in a figure-hugging red dress, and TV presenter and journalist Julie Etchingham wowed in an understated taupe dress with an origami-folded skirt and matching cropped jacket.

Also in attendance were the likes of Dame Esther Rantzen, TV's Lorraine Kelly - who was glorious in a gold lace frock - Maureen Lipman, Mary Nightingale, Jo Brand and

The Women of the Year winners were whittled down and chosen by a panel of notable, accomplished women: Sandi Toksvig CBE, Sue MacGregor CBE, Dame Tessa Jowell MP, Baroness Doreen Lawrence OBE, Jane Luca, Ronke Phillips, Eve Pollard OBE, Lisa Markwell, Gill Carrick and Sue Walton.

And viewers of popular morning programme, ITV's Lorraine, were also able to vote for their Inspirational Woman of the Year via a phone poll.

Sandi, President of the Women of the Year Awards, said: 'Women of the Year has celebrated the wonderful achievements of women since 1955.

On a sudden,
the sight.
Your look of light
stills all,


stills
all, The curd-***
falls to the ground.


Parents and
brothers
all call a halt.


Prise out, they say,
this thing from your heart.
You've lost your path.


Says Meera:
Who but you
can see in the dark
of a heart?

Dear Handsome Lover Boy,
I’m Meera Gupta,
a 22 year KG teacher for kids,
I am very sociable and fun-loving;
I am looking for someone,
Kind to my heart,
Mind at my chat
Confident & smart life partner
who will match my wave-length.
Are you interested in knowing me?
Are you inspired my love writing?
Regards,
Meera Gupta

PART I
Let the world be
- against our LOVE
Let the society also be so
- against our LOVE
Let the laws, rules, regulations be
- against our LOVE
Let the religions, scriptures, gurus be
- against our LOVE
Let our friends, colleagues and
Family, relatives be
- against our LOVE
Let even YOU and me be
- against our LOVE
Let them be, Let us be..
Let everyone be
- against our LOVE
Yet it is NOT going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART II
Every "against" is just a gray smoke
Trying to pretend to be a blue sky
"They"- the one who are against LOVE
If they are eager to crucify Jesus
If they are eager to lynch Mansoor
If they are eager to poison Meera
If they are eager to throw LOVERz
In the pyre of FIRE
Remember this...
The air around us is "LOVE"
The whole world shall burn
In the grief of two LOVERz flames
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART III
We all know, we all know
That the enemies of LOVE are many
They are educated, smart, intelligent
Powerful, leaders and identity groups etc.
Those who can reason, argue & debate,
Rationalize with practicality & pragmatism
But they do not even have a heart
To feel the trueness & purity of our LOVE
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART IV
What comes out of our LOVE
Is the most Powerful & Almighty NATURE

LOVE in my heart - is not ruled by anyone
LOVE in YOUR heart - is not ruled by anyone
LOVE in our heart - is "OUR" LOVE
It is not even ruled by us
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART V
Today those who pretend to be masters
Today those who pretend to be leaders
Today those who pretend to be gurus
Those who pretend to "I know it ALL"
They won't be here tomorrow to live
They are only passengers of life
Traveling illegally without tickets
Because they are living without LOVE
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART VI
Do not forget, Do not forget
LOVE has taken centuries
It has taken ages
From the garden of Eden
Where Adam - Eve ate the apple
Since Romeo-Zuliet died
When Layla-Majnun wailed in longing
LOVERz have poured their breathe
Into every living thing on earth
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART VII
The breath you take is of LOVE
The breath I take is of LOVE
The breath the whole world takes is of LOVE
Who are we to say "YES" and "NO" to LOVE?
LOVE does not even take our permissions
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"

PART VIII
LOVE is not even this moment "NOW"
LOVE is not a slave of any constitution
LOVE can't be imprisoned in any identities:
Religious, regions, gender, caste,
Class, society, color, race, age etc.
LOVE is not owned by anyone
LOVE is not even owned by LOVERz
So don't worry, it is not going to be
"The end of our LOVE"






Immersed in God ecstasy
and orange robes
the true bhakta’s thoughts
are always on God, for God
and of God
armed with pure love
the slings and arrows
of maya, good, bad and outrageous fortune
are averted
God and His beloved
whirl across the bhakti path
dancing with Rumi, Kabir,  St. Francis  Meera Bai
and all the beautiful bhaktas
for eternity

What all things I've endured
For the sake of your LOVE
One day like this
I will slowly give away my life
For the sake of your LOVE

I've been in complete agony & despair
Pain and miseries, since YOU left me
Your promise...
I am going to die like this
Longing for you
For the sake of your LOVE

If I can be with you
My life will be divine
If I can see you once
I'll reside in heaven
If I can touch you & hold your hand
The Nature will shower blessings on me
I am facing and will continue to face
All the tortures and atrocities
The world throws at me
For the sake of your LOVE

I've hidden your breathe within me
I've hidden your smiles within me
I've hidden your twinkle of eyes within me
I've hidden your LOVE within me
I've hidden your soul within me
That's why I cry so much
That's why I weep so much
That is why I wallow so much
That is why I long so much
For the sake of your LOVE

The whole world calls me Juliet
The whole world calls me Majnu
The whole world calls me Meera
The whole world calls me Heer
The whole world calls me Romeo

Like this, no characters of LOVER
Are left out without my name
Associated with them
Like this, the world kept on
Making fun of me
Like this, the world stood
Laughing at me
Like this, the world even
Insulted and humiliated me
Like this, the world even
Threw stones at me...
Like this, the world will even
**** me one day

All this, I'm going through
For the sake of your LOVE

Heer, I'm your Rajhna



There is everyone around me
But there is no peace within me
YOU remain the same
Inside, outside & around me
But I do not remain
In my own being...

I'm wearing a robe of Romeo
And walking the footsteps of Majnun
I roam like Ranzjhanaa
And I sing love-songs like Meera

It's none of your fault my LOVE
YOU are the most beautiful SOUL

I'm laughed at by everyone
Humiliated for talking to myself
Chanting only your name

I devote my body & soul to YOU
And I'm called " Y O U "


Poem: Part 5 of a six part series of poem


In the name of LOVE
Keep singing
The song of FREEDOM

A life is only worthy if
One realizes honoring LOVE

Oh BELOVEDz... Oh BELOVEDz..
This is the promise I take
On the path YOU've shown
I will even give my life for YOUR LOVE

Let people scatter flowers
On your path of glory, success and fame
I will gift you with my blood and tears
I won't even hesitate to
Serve you my head - (my EGO "I")

You will find LOVERz
In Russia, In Africa
In Europe, In Asia
In America, In Australia
In Oceania, In Middle-East
In Arctic & In Antarctic

LOVERz may speak different languages
They may be white, yellow, black & brown
They may be called by different names
Romeo, Layla, Zuliet, Majnun
Rabia, Rumi, Kabir, Meera

All those who LOVE -
Surrender to the beautiful SOUL of BELOVEDz

- Illuminated by BELOVEDz inner LOVE
Their hearts are ignited with fire
Breathing only one chant - "BELOVEDz"
LOVERz sings -
The Song of FREEDOM...







In your LOVE my BELOVEDz
I will converse to YOU
In your own words
That you speak from within me

If I sing your praise
It is you true inner beauty
That I muse in poems

My skin has changed colors
It's your LOVE-color I don

I adorn your smile
The glitter you see on me
Is nothing but
Sparkles of your illuminations

I swirl, round &round
And dance your tunes
Singing your rhymes
"Jingle-zing-ringat"

Let the world consider me
Lunatic and maniacal
I am your mad woman
Your Meera & Radha
You - my Christ & Krishna...!

I've lost my senses
I've lost my self
I'm in your LOVE

In your LOVE my BELOVEDz
I will converse to YOU
In your own words
LOVE, Love, love, luv...


LOVE  TRUE

Difficult it is to say which is love true; incomplete or a union  complete

Calmness, peace, romance are in a story, where lovers unite after they first meet.

Are endings really happy, after lovers choose their partner from a fleet?

Epics show true lovers are separated or have to, for some reason, retreat.

Sitaji joined Ram leaving behind luxuries; but why did Ram, her forsake n ill treat ?

Neither could  Radha unite with  Kanha; he went away for ever, (to Kans defeat).

Poor Meera, a princess turned a vagabond,  in hope, to her Giridhar meet.

Umpteen examples Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha, Shiri-Farhad couldn't unite or meet.

Can a sage wise enlighten me, which is LOVE true; an incomplete one or a union complete

HAPPY WOMAN'S DAY

Request I the Lord, on this auspicious Woman's day;

To make her stronger physically n mentally day by day.

May no Radha have to constantly yearn for her Krishna

May no Meera be forced to drink poison physical or emotional.

May she be as strong as Maa Durga n Rani Laxmi(bai)

May she earn to self-sufficient be, like Mata Laxmi.

May she as knowledgeable n artistic be, as Maa Sharda Saraswati.

May the kind Lord bless her with beauty, love n "sanmati".

Most importantly,  may Every Girl, every Lady, happy n safe stay.

Please O Ahura,  accept  my wishes; To Thee I sincerely pray.
