"tandav" poems
A bell tolls
Friends join in to walk
With me to the end of the path
Carrying on heavy shoulders,
All that last journey, and
All that was not said
And all that silences
Which will echo forever in our hearts.
Some where
Silence waits for the desert spaces
To speak up
And break our lives
Into small grains of sand
Which pours within the Hour Glass
Of our togetherness
Some where - a blast-off to distant stars
In the cloud of dust
In the drum beats of
Shiva's Tandav* dance.
Some where, Love alone
Worships the intensity of the togetherness
Or
Truthfulness of belongingness.
Or
Remains
A mute spectator to the Tandav* of emotions
Silence some time does sound
In, Our lives
And
A bell tolls forever
Calling in lost soul
Or soul mates
To be in the valley of lost flower stars.

*The Sun, misses shining bright in the clouds
Mellow, it smiles with the balmy breeze
Rain has been dancing for long in the whole town
Stars can’t shine in the night sky
The rain does its favourite ‘Tandav dance’
They never seem to be out of harmony
The earth, wet and damp
Mother Nature teaches us to accept and walk towards happiness, nevertheless
Light up the earthen lamp and hoist the lantern in the cloudy sky
The stars underneath brim with golden smiles
Diwali is the magical time to spend with the loved ones and feel blessed
To enjoy the festivities with spirits up and bright
Happy Diwali*

Distance can be miles apart
Or a block away from each other '
We both see the horizon
In different time zone
Separate position
Same direction
Before sun rise
In the still of the darkness
I see a virgin’s bloodless love
Flowing at peace ;
The wait was long
But he showed no wrath
Incinerating me in the flames of his glorious path
Have I not walked a natural phenomenon this beautiful before
Never the I'consumed methylated spirit -
That I'engaged in 'tandav
Whilst my boots concealed precious opioid syringes
was un touched .
The same story created multiple more
Even though I have unraveled a myriad of ideologies
I kneeled to the One ;
The exquisitely pure ,
The inconceivable ;
The unmanifest ,
Of infinite form ;
Blissful, tranquil, immortal ;
Everything about him reeks of danger and insanity
His scent gives off a feel of nostalgia and safety
Following sardiness of regret
Caught by the trawler of hope
Here control i s overrated '
The moment of the divine wholeness
Here I sit under it
Incessantly chanting
S t i l l
M o t i o n l e s s
Over an infinite time
It's green foliage adorns the sky
Each flower smiling .
The constraints,
which were built by the mind,
crumbled in an instant .
I look beyond myself and saw you there
All of these years of loneliness !
And though you are right, I've been looking as well,
In different time zone
Separate position
Same direction
Before sun rise
In the still of the darkness
'I 'Offered myself
