"pervading" poems
The crowd fades away As chords in every melody Rings in our ears, And shivers downs in our body It vibrates in every muscle A musical fusion Almost everything didn’t matter It’s you, me and the beating rhythm The graceful posture The sway of every gesture It’s a motion adventure. Feeling the adrenaline pulsing through Pervading the entity Beating rhythm pounding, it electrifies the body into graceful art, emancipating the sound of the music Captivating the mind, liberating the young, reckless soul covertly hidden inside an indifferent exterior A freeing beauty of movement to the rhythm A therapy to the mind and body. Dancing to the music, feeling every tune every beat every breath of every movement, with Explosions of Euphoria

Of Grace and Beauty: Dance
* Krishna asked, Romeo asked, Majnun asked Rumi asked, Rabia asked, Kabir asked "Who are you to make me sick?" And the reply came in my BELOVEDz voice **"I am LOVE; My purpose is to Steal you away from your LIFE"** "WHAT?" They all asked in one voice LOVE replied in my BELOVEDz voice: "I steal your heart I steal your peace I steal your sleep I steal your life Secretly I make possible For BELOVEDz and LOVERz to meet Then I reside in your eyes Glancing at each other I pierce into your SOUL I steal your heart-beats I give goosebumps to you I weaken your knees I make you feel dizzy I create butterflies in your stomach I make you dream beyond LIFE **"I am LOVE; My purpose is to Steal you away from your LIFE"** No one knows my story I come from nowhere I go nowhere People think I'm a crazy phenomenon But I'm mystical & meta-physical form of Nature - many call it God/dess I am all around YOU I am all pervading I fill your lungs with oxygen I am the CO2 you emit I make you see stars in daytime I make you intoxicated without liquor I make you search for a falling star I make you kiss dewdrops on flowers No one is as existential as me I've changed the cosmos with my presence I've transformed animals into humans Those people who are still animals I transit them towards humanity If you are not in LOVE yet You are still part of ignorant animal life I make everyone lose their fear I make humans play a dangerous game I create rebellion and revolution I make humans swim ocean of fire I make meek person brave & courageous To revolt against out-of-date rituals/ traditions Once I make my home within two humans Even though they live afar I don't let the BELOVEDz and LOVERz Stay away for a single moment I make them fly into LOVE dreamz Without a pause, without a stop I make them write poems and sing songs I am seen on earth, I am seen in sky I am seen in desert, I am seen in oceans I am seen in flowers, I am seen in moon I am seen in clouds, I am seen in rains I am seen in darkness, I am seen in light **"I am LOVE; My purpose is to Steal you away from your LIFE"** *

There is chaos in this cosmos. God's Eden order was lost. Yet to him order isn't gone. Chaos is simply his pawn. It is part of his big story. Its darkness reveals his glory. So bring your chaos to him. Light takes joy in pervading the dim.

Chaos and Order
‘LOVE’ – What mystique power it wields In what myriad guise it wraps! At times a sweet ache so coy to reveal Or a sudden urge, hard to unveil Sometimes a deep sensation A strong surge of emotion Permeating every atom Pervading from top to bottom It heightens the pulse And makes every nerve convulse It has left kingdoms fall asunder And many a mighty man - surrender Often, like dew drops falling from above Or the warbling notes flowing out from the grove It leaves the heart go upbeat in prosody Changing every sensation into rhapsody As beams of silver cast by the moon Or the cold touch of spray in the horrid heat of noon It soothes, embalms and thrills the heart Filling the void and leaving no dearth Love sublime, sure like a candle lit Consumes itself, and never dwindles a bit It dispels the gloom and dissipates the fright Invigorating the soul and healing every hurt As brilliance to stars, fragrance to flowers Music to flute or shade to bowers Love is to Man, freeing him from all sores Bestowing him the strength to meet all throes Love can neither be beguiled nor disguised Nor be stifled or be construed Love puts all other things into place And hems life with a lovely lace Love is all we seek and too scarce to find A magic thread by which hearts are bound Hark! It is love that makes the world spin around And cures all the ills that surround Oh! Love thou virtues I will defend

Love
When his eyes first fell upon her She was choosing avocados In the fruit and vegetable aisle. And he watched how her thumbs lingered On the base of the alligator pear And pressed, maternally. He feigned interest in the cabbages Whilst sensing her delicate architecture Through his peripheral gaze. He thought that somewhere, In real or imaginary life, They would soon bathe together. And when they did, They soaked for years in secrets, Details suffusing through their lips and arms, Water-hole satisfaction and moonlit deserts To make them feel they might have transcended cabbages And be pervading a rhapsodic realm They forgot their friends watching in greenery, Subsumed by each-other, They felt no need To live in a world of relativity and apples. Their love-traced sphere tightened around them, Until it ****** at the edges of their skin And wailed when they parted. Tighter it grew, elastic dug into their humid thighs Contorting their once harmonic bodies That used to fit like crosswords. And they each became ugly to the other As the seconds ingested their perfection And they bickered like flailing urchins In a deep sea soiled darkness. Decisions were made and paroxysms detonated And they were taken back by their Fungal friends with tissue offerings And ethanol. Time passed, and memories were binned Periodically on tuesdays Until neither knew the other And they would pass in the supermarket With no more than a quickened gait And a silent thud in each ribcage. But neither could buy avocados.

Lemons- in fanfictions, a gritty or ****** scene. I watched your Adam's apple bob As you swallowed your arousal. My head was swirling with the scent of lemons, And I couldn't help myself As I tottered towards you on my intoxication, Inebriation. My hands hit your chest, And in our unsteadiness, My extra push sent us tumbling... Down onto the Citrus yellow sheets of your bed My mouth on your neck, Wanting only to taste your Lemon sweat. Your eyes wandered freely, And your hands soon followed. Touching my ******* The perky ******* You put your mouth on one, Extracting from it some sour mix of sweetness, The lemon in my veins. We mashed together, Your member against my cavity, Pictures of lemons in my mind. Your hand round my throat, You began to speak harshly, Lemon tainting your soul. The acid in your words, Acid on your fingernails as they tore my skin... It hurt, But it hurt like the beautiful Lemons that brought me here. You put yourself in me, Again and again You forced my body into submission. My tears burned with the citrus, My eyes now yellow, Like the lemons. In this lighting, Your skin looked yellow too, I could almost say your head was a lemon... Pain resurfaces, Blood, The sensation that something was flowing into me, I knew your lemon juice had filled my pitcher, Now it was available for drinking. And you did, You drank your lemon juice with my sugar, Lemonade of us two. Pleasure rocked my body, And I felt your lemon invading me. But you yourself, You were drawing it out of me. My walls pulled in, They clenched, I let out a shrill. The smell of our lemon sweat Once again, Pervading the room. You collapsed beside me, The drug wearing off, Lemons exiting your mind already. I wasn't done though. I'm still obsessed. Still obsessed with lemons.

Morning, good morning! What a pleasant feeling. Look out of your window sill Birds chirping down hill Rising Sun’s warmness with an aura of happiness Dewdrops on rose petals Moisture on flower beds Lanes with damp mud roads Children waiting with bookloads Men with their tools to workshop Women with their bags to shop Each in thoughts of their chores Or in groups musing at jokes. As the clock’s hands move forward with the moving Sun overhead Look out of your window sill watch the changes downhill All energy withered in heat Life slows down in many a feat The splendour of dawn faded As the brightness of light invaded No musings or jokes on road None could stand the heat to hold The empty lanes appear haunted Silence pervading unhindered. Look out of your window sill Watch the Sun’s glare going still If you enjoyed the day’s siesta It’s a great blessing after the Fiesta The evening’s glow at your doorstep Spreading delight at each footstep Look around for the actions of mankind Adept in their chosen courses behind With all the lives on earth in the swings Singing the glory of Almighty on the wings Oh! What a colourful day to consider With lovely thoughts of you to ponder! *************************************************

Morning.. Lakshmy.N; Mumbai
Out seaward to the  horizon I see Forgiving hills where lessons fade, Projections of my desirous plea Patiently await their farewell to bade, Look now for at their peak the sun is setting, With an orange hue caressed blue sky, And white clouded streaks like thought forgetting, Senses renewed—our demons die. Can you see that place where intrigue resides, Beyond those hills ‘neath the sky turned red? For there the heaven and earth collides, Pervading all hope in our angels stead.

Forgiving Hills On The Western Horizon
World turns slowly I am filled 40,000ft deep in the Cosmic Ocean Puffed grey islands in a sea of mist Pervading the awareness of Earth moving in a curling fashion, ancient bones creak slowly as the sun disappears from view Even when human beings try to run or hide, create far flung ways of being away from their nature A single star appears and a trio of lights blink on at the ground unison movement like a long laugh echoing along the circumference of our humanness we return to our universal nature despite.

40,000ft deep in the Cosmic Ocean
Autumn, like an Indian classical dancer, dressed up Arrives with soft rhymes and quickening steps She comes aglow, aglow with a rare beauty Dancing to the bracelet's tinkling song Her floating robe falls in deep folds around her feet As she mesmerizes all with moves full of grace Viewing the flaming colours in assorted display We are apt to wonder if Nature carefully saved up All that is best for the closing grand finale Autumn tints look enchanting all through the land With pervading green, offset by crimson, citrus yellow Flaming red, lustrous gold and a faded russet The air stays crisp and sweet in the ripening fields While stray clouds ramble in flawless turquoise sky When autumn is thus all agog like a frenzied dervish It gives us morbid pictures of death and decay The trees wrestle to free themselves of their worn cloaks Causing a cascade of withering autumn leaves Now they fall scattered in endless stream and lie in piles Like charred carcasses after a fierce forest fire The rustle of dry leaves blown by the wind Falls in our ears with the gabble of migrating birds Pale sunshine sifts through leafless trees of maple and oak All those leaves once stayed regal in stations high But now tossed out like worthless chaff They come nose diving and fall several meters below Spreading a hazel curtain over the moist earthen crust When trampled mercilessly by careless feet They silently mourn their thankless fate Graying that comes at the end of each autumnal fall Reminds us of the pall of gloom that awaits It is disturbing like the parting song of birds As they fly southward before the fall of winter

In a world of laughter I was apart of at a time Now glides with sadness As the refugees shine And there in the darkness I can see someone's face Wholesome with fear In deliberate disgrace Find the world's end And summon the flees Through the fires and cries Lies this appealing disease Of rotten flesh And from human, to be born Crucified, embodied, concealed And still so adorn Notify the states Address them assured To be swept with the scars In a world unsecured With the memories of a beast White flesh and teeth In written disconcert And so, whom would I bequeath? Of decayed discontent In a black path of a rose filled garden Hides the wishes of a ****** Broken by the pervading Janardhan And where the blood may spill I may not be for real And in this nightmare I place myself But where I stand my eyes congeal Broken faces, smiles depart So much love, ruled by lust So much hate, driven by anger Asphyxiate my disgust My repel of this utter evil Where a ****** proclaims The absence of virtues And the murderer of William James For the only unseen And the utterly disturbed Comes a vision alive And they're truly perturbed Where their own flesh dilapidate With their minds running amuck And at everyone they will berate And in my cage of silent betrayal I will commence to cleanse my soul My solid trust, broken, forever damaged I can only hope for extol And yet my own deceit Will lead me to my fall I still await this day And truly bury my appall

Next the Son, the Stunning-Cantab: He suggested curves of beauty, Curves pervading all his figure, Which the eye might follow onward, Till they centered in the breast-pin, Centered in the golden breast-pin. He had learnt it all from Ruskin (Author of 'The Stones of Venice,' 'Seven Lamps of Architecture,' 'Modern Painters,' and some others); And perhaps he had not fully Understood his author's meaning; But, whatever was the reason All was fruitless, as the picture Ended in an utter failure.

Hiawathas' photographing ( Part III )
The sun-filled corridor Burns brightly in the heat of That ephemeral, sweltering season. She sits at the edge of the hallway, Looking at the other side wistfully, Her eyes seem to be reaching out to the other side. To just be on that side for one moment; To be nearer to the light, instead of staying in this place of darkness. Heart filled with despair, the streams from the river Fall freely down her alabaster colored face. Her hands reaching out, pleading for a warm touch, A Valentine embrace; a Christmas kiss under the mythical mistletoe. People with their eyes hooked to their silicate screens Ignore her. Even she calls out to them for attention, but they don’t Hear. Their minds are too far into themselves. They don’t care. Nor They ever will, much to her chagrin. The silence kills her the most. It’s the antithesis of cacophony. Would she rather a discordant note pervading the entire room than suffering through silence? She still remembers the day she lost her voice. The day she felt that the world was coming to an end because she wasn’t Good enough for the masses of mainstream people who never lose Anything but hours of sleep. This girl can’t lose sleep because she never can sleep. She can’t feel anything. She can’t taste the sweetness of the chocolate logs That stay on the table near the Christmas tree. She watches as her old family Savours every dark, sugary, nearly sinful taste of it. She can’t feel the texture of The wall. She can’t even see past the house. She can never leave. Not since that Fateful day. Do they still remember their daughter? Has she become a distant, yet inevitably ephemeral scrapbook remnant?

Greens and gold of lattice work cascading down the tree, This epiphyte, so infinitely, delicately free. A lattice work of green finesse, a miniature Cezanne With exquisiteness of spiky bloom embellishing it’s charm. Cascading down the grizzled trunk of gnarled and twisted hand The hosting ancient Kamahi looms loftily, so grand. Looms aloft with leafy bough so softened by the show Of ruffled, pinkish bottle brush amassing high and low. Hordes of buzzing, bumble bees so clumsy in their way, Tumbling from flower to flower collecting nectar’s day. With afternoon the waning sun lies hot on sultry air And little girls in pretty frocks skip by with not a care. Summer grasses long and dry stand statuesque and straight With sweet laburnum’s perfumed heads a nodding by the gate. Young heifers graze in clover in the dell down by the brook And the fantail dances daintily seeking insects in the nook There’s a special, quiet majesty pervading here, so fair With the thistledown afloat, so still with golden motes in air. Fills my soul with gentle feeling and a rolling tear, unplanned, For this blend of quiet ambivalence through my beauteous rural land. Marshalg “Foxglove” Taranaki. NEW ZEALAND. 19 January 2014

Bathou Bwrai
To the tune of "Rinsing Silk Stream" My courtyard is small, windows idle, spring is getting old. Screens unrolled cast heavy shadows. In my upper-story chamber, speechless, I play on my jasper lute. Clouds rising from distant mountains hasten the fall of dusk. Gentle wind and drizzling rain cause a pervading gloom. Pear blossoms can hardly keep from withering, but droop.

in our rocky mountain vistas and certain landscape paintings our imaginings are captured sometimes clear and ordered in others stormy patterns hiding then revealing dark and jagged forms almost hearing the hawk's invisible circling call imagining ourselves on precipitous mountain paths blown by shifting icy winds vertigo and dark crevices fearsome obstacles foreshadowing impending loss     then most suddenly we return to our observation places warmth safety comfort as before our imagined landscape fears now engulfed transformed within a joyous pervading light a jolting new experience mysteriously named by some as the sublime the word a gentle quiet merging of beauty and twin terrors fear and loss might we then find in this our landscape viewing a rehearsal for life's dark confrontations and on a promising day enfold transmute and with ecstatic labor discover true beginnings new births reaching this time a friend we know and name our sublime

I am a drop. No, smaller than that, I am half a drop. Nah, even smaller, I am a molecule. Not yet, zoom out a bit more. I am an atom, right? How ‘bout a nucleus? Proton is a better option. Or perhaps something, Smaller than a proton, Or any subatomic particle? What’s the smallest? Is the smallest really the smallest? May be fifty years, Or hundred years from now, or more Would there be a new smallest, I think that would be me. The ‘me’ in front of the all pervading sky The all pervading hostility of this universe, Or perhaps of a multiverse. Far would be destroyed my glory, By even a minute of such an imagination, My blown up ego would be blown up. Gone is my glory, blown up is my blown up ego, humbled am I. Neither a king, Nor even a slave, who am I? how would I know? when would I know? when could I perceive, without ‘me’ at the centre? without ‘me’ seeing ‘me’? perhaps never, perhaps sometime! Am I a ‘who’? Or am I a ‘what’? How does it even matter In front of all the existence? But What if I am the biggest? Bigger than the mountain Bigger than the sun Bigger than this galaxy Or even the universe? What if I am the universe or the multiverse, and kept from knowing it? Ah! what a mystery! Humbled am I In front of the great mystery Of not ‘that’ or ‘this’ But of ‘I’. So never ask me this; Who are you? For I shall go silent and never get back to you. Or shall I ever get back to you, what a celebration would that be? The greatest celebration of my life, The greatest celebration of my being. But What if I don’t even exist? Or I am just this & nothing else? May be I am a chaos, that seems to be ordered. May be I am an order, that seems to be a chaos. May be I am both. Or may be none. When would I know the truth? Or may be I know the truth, Just pretending not to know it. May be I am the truth, seeking out my own self. Or a lie, pretending to be the truth. May be I am all that I thought, May be I am none. May be all I just need, is to take a nap, and get back to work.

An igneous rock, she took from the garden, our rendezvous and presented as her heart to me. It turned red at once and winked to my soul in a cryptic  primordial code,  beams of light flash telling  our love had begun  somewhere beyond  time. Distinct memory I have, it was glowing within the galaxy, of billion silver stars, kept in the chest of immortality, when we burned and burned to blend in each other's light, "Come to me" beckoned her flame in intermittent pulses. And I came to her in this garden, light years down, we forget time, the spirit we are, living in elements ever, matter and energy in  an interchanging embrace, love in essence to her "SHAKTHI" I am the "SHIVA, pervading in the cosmic  vastness.

A love, kindled by a cosmic pulse
*Will, makes the body a fiddle, every string vibrates with music, life continues to be a bacchanalia, for long, from teens to midlife, the weakening of pleasure seeking streak, brings spirit to the center of thought, meditativeness brings connect with the all pervading spirit, then poetry of the universe seep in ecstatic moments of body, mind and soul, one is convinced, are soaked in poetic cadence, oozing from the divine spring within.*

We are brimming with poetry from a mysterious spring
~ " ~ through this twilight universe where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air wander they walked along the moon-lit gravel into a bright rosy colored space boats against the current frightened but graceful, on the edge of a deathless song a stir and bustle among the stars as she blossomed for him like a flower pervading the air with shades and echoes of still vibrant emotions against the blue cool limit of the sky he forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath and so they drove on toward death through the cooling twilight ~ " ~
