Ecclesiastical verses
Illuminating his spirit
Staring at the sky laughing with the birds
Voices of charming affectionate rain

Answers his dolorous pain
Parabolic divine dialectic healings
Religious rain heavenly compassionate sky
Descending strength and happiness

Getting in the rain with splendor
Humility worthy celestial sweet grandeur
Beautifully dancing in the summer rain
Solace in the path of righteousness

Hello hello, its me.
Its been long since we sat in the fields and watch the sun die.
But you said you wanted to be young and be free.
Hello its me.
As you see there no atom of unhappiness in me.

scents
your perfume tastes like menthol
embalming my soul with myrtle scents
its inhalation intoxicates are like alcohol
unassail'd i laid as burning insects

i awake in your nest of arms
tied in between your *******
as i milk the cow from your mind
ways of gods you showcase and bind

UNKNOWN SMILES
=============================
In all unknown places,
I just opened my heart
To let the world enter
Ploughed it far and wide,
Letting behind deep furrows

No one could see
My heart furrows crying
I waited for healing season
And its gates opened soon

Travelers began pilgrimage
To temple of my Crops,
They picked wheat harvest
In the middle of my youth

I chose not to rust
The flour from dust
Baked it in my heart oven
Shared it to every hungry one

HOUSE OF JASMINE
==============================
Trust me
I know this may be hard
But you should talk about me
When you brought me up to help you

There is very especial between us
Waiting for consider this love with me
Share to distress
I know I have something very serious
And important for me to know
But I didn't until I run behind me

While I do not forget
That your House has Jasmine
While I may not explain to you
What you have for me
Means nothing anymore than the end
The end of any disaffection
The end of a garden without the flower
The end of memories
Of lack of heat from cold feet in winter
Maybe now I put that suit
And wait for someone else at the altar
As you couldn't stay, cannot stay
And I said run
That you need to find someone
You have to be happy
That it is necessary to go beyond
What is necessary to be close
to be close to be closed
And the cycle continues!!!

I AM A SMILING LIGHT
==================================
I am a smiling light
Of your heated Wings of Fire
And my fire of heart extinguished
Reaching at cold end of my desired ice
Looking now at the crimson sun set
Enjoying cold breeze waiting for morning sun rise

Simply physical presence
Identify the spiritual essence
Touching the petals of opening Lotus
We both know bathing joy in the morning dews

And the bitter truth of dry river needing water
Praying for some flood in the desert
Where beautiful red yellow pink cactus flowers bloom
To delight the oasis for thirsty lives
Where camels run in joy to get sandy showers

TRUST LIGHT WITHOUT DEFECT
===============================================
With so great ease, You wake me up
To fill my inner and outer empty space
All rooms, kitchen, pots, plate and cup
with kind shining face and special grace

As a baby, mind loves sacred fire
As father's heart with proud desire
As the world glimmers on her neck
As armed beauty of wisdom check

You have Never been a stranger
Living within me ecstatic manager
Myself always found divine nectar
Hunger delights under your shelter

I Listen to your godly jubilant voice
Clouds hide the moon a nature choice
In the lake of soul, stars shine reflect
Trust Light, The sky is without defect

LIFE IS EMPHATIC
==========================
You are the force on the true hopes of wings
Kings may make gods but meaner creatures kings

Path only possible if we fly to meet true joy in essence
To know the glorious Truth What awaits us in presence

See your sky is vast and Paradise on Earth is not the last
I knew that Youth's bitterness passes in the wintry blast

We knew stages of cloth needs different yarn and thread
Final outcomes so pretty, Leaving impurity to make sacred

Now, you trust the magic of love, dance drama is not tragic
Lame and bad times with those are passed, Life is emphatic

SONG ON MY TONGUE
=================================
I always thought this is an end of my problems
Now I am free from all vicissitude of our quarrels
And there is a long peaceful halt before setting in
A new different unknown peak to scale with up chin

But the life writes its daily drama to earn bread
New unexpected things and events raise their heads
The young enters old age and old people go to heaven
Leaving me behind from unmarried to grandfather of seven

I always waited for a time to live in solitude
To write a novel and poetry of my innate attitude
But truth is every moment sings its own song
And many a time my words die on my tongue

Now I thank the wonderful mysterious nature
Who speaks her language to all creatures!!!

PERFECT AS A FLOWER
==================================
Never expect always a favorable situation
Things move in cycle without your consent
I have heard the neighbor's fairly sad tale
When the wind worked against her bail

Our friends make a fun, mock and hate
All promises are broken without any wait
We forget goodwill and best lessons taught
Mind changes, Our fortunes must be wrought

Ignorance causes us to forget paradise
How we used to admire her and appreciate
Perfect as a flower is your sweet godly face
Your presence lifts us as gravity keeps a pace

Now all is gone like spring finished sprinkle
The beautiful girl changed in old lady wrinkle

Pure Soul
==============
To pass the minutes, days and years
All seasons of time !
I live, with my lips smiling
Like a childish innocence
Like an adolescent girl
Waiting for her beloved
Like an Indian wife
in every moment with her husband
Passing the waters through the Ganges
and getting liberation from worldly longing
I love you, as you are unique,
The only soul mate in seven lives
Yet beyond seven skies, seven ocean
Never said, never written never told
Anything about our flesh reunion
Eternal, passionate love without any pain
When heart speaks, body momentum gain
Without any fear of grave
The purity of the soul is brave

KE A GO RATA
This day, it feels like I am going traditional
All this while I've always done the magical
Its feels, it kills , and thrills me
Even when my body is in pain, your soul , drills me
And it always soothe when I say '' KE A GO RATA ''
My heartbeat goes faster
And if feel locks on my head like a rasta
When the skies are built in lies
When the evening is green in styles
It feels so good to say '' KE A GO RATA ''
Even when your mind is set in doubt it doesn't matter
When the earth is dark in gloom
When a grenade rocks like boom
Its fine, if I whisper KE A GO RATA

WELLSPRING OF LIFE

And once the storm is over,
you won't remember
how you made it through
A fool hath no delight
in understanding,
but that his heart may
discover itself,
The words of a
man's mouth are as deep waters,
and the wellspring
of wisdom as a flowing brook

NEW LIFE
================
Life long relation
We should not cut
For the timely outburst emotion
Time will tell the difference
Who is wrong or who is right ?

Come, come relaxed
And extend the sun
On your mind balcony
To burn all the evils
Just to have nothing to loose

The trains are coming and going
But the railway station remains there
It never changes it's place
Is it wrong or is it right ?

We are going to end
By our own desired hands
Our mortal worldly life
Nobody comes forward
To give us a new life
Is it wrong or is it right ?

Time will tell the difference
Who is wrong or who is right ?

WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK
=====================================
Silence broke into tears
But cried with authority of a heavy rain
With a prescription of a rule of the land
How many still write,
in autumn bells ?
when gentle dew sickles the nerves of my brain
tighten the bronchial tree of my chest
when your wings will broom the dust of the wound
behind the door of my aging heart ?

When the day will increase fresh greenery
Around the tiring garden of long passing life
And protect all the wedding stories
And save them for next generations and
Not allowing them to die
In a flooded storm of worldly intelligentsia ?

The dry leaves will remain burning
In the high temperature of June of My country
the serene calm river of wisdom will invite me drown
In Her depth up to the pebbles and sand
settled loosely in her breast flowing with deep water, but
The winter of coming life will try to frost my fertile brain
but the sacred heart reminds me to reach
the Ocean of the colored horizon

So I should be baptized or Initiated by the Guru
To follow the word of God or name of God
To know, realize and experience the hell or heaven of emotions
But, Some are so mature to become their own teacher
to write with their own pen on their own paper

If I was a magician
I'll be perfectly poised like an Indian
Build castle in the air so I could live like a king
Dress like a rose on a sunset beach
Build bridges so I can touch things I could never reach

If I was a magician
I'll look like the pyramids of Egypt
I'll make ponds in the desert
I'll play the piano like Mozart

If I was a magician
I'll live, never to die again
I'll be young never to be old again
I'll sit on the skies and watch it rain again

If I was a magician
I'd make my father live again
I'll make my woes crush like grain
I'll wake up a beggar, always a prince forever

If I was a magician
I'll make it shower in joy
I'll make it thunder in the city of troy

If I was a magician
I'll make you my umbrella
So I'll smile anytime it storms

TODAY AND TOMORROW
======================================
my poems speak the truth
they are gold and do not glitter

my words are mechanics and fitter
cleans the room of heart and clear the litter

some are short as a diamond, some are long as an arrow
but they all make my readers independent and not to borrow

but in this world are living good and bad people from all the races
they try to catch the fishes and never misses to crush the marrow

some **** the birds to eat but some loves the sparrow
some destroy the crops but some plants the seed in the furrow

So an arrow should be in accordance to strike from the bow
we need everything in life, so keep an eye on grass and the cow

My Virgin Breast
Let me pour water of life
Into your dry stream
Where I give breath of love
To your dying realm

As I feel your presence
With the touch of my feet
Colors of rainbow sprays like greenish plant
For I want you to drink my ****** breast

Thy beauty gleams with posture as sky
Hanging in radiance of moon's glory
My sun flaring from your gem's hair
As you lost in thoughts of my air

The vase is the symbol of undying love
Shoulder high my wrist and waist glue like dove
******* dignity and face gleams of rays above
For in short time Paradise restores in our heart cove

My figurine eight shape
Makes me to stare at you
For in love our house is build
As Stonehenge cave where our soul reside

Jealousy elopes my heart
And pains of love grows like plant
I wish you **** my twin breast
So I hive wax of honey into your mind-nest

For I am thirsty of love
Since I fall for you in secret love
My eyes hope to drink your cup
So I fly so high like dove swooning in a cusp

Spreading my wings in your arms
For in the nursery of flowers farm
My preserve dignity I shall offer you in charms
Promise me you shall come to pay the alms

So the thirst of love be quenched
I want to drink from you to be satisfied
From the well of your manhood
Where your reflection mirrored in my womb

In this I laid in soil tomb
Without regret but to aplomb
The cup you give me
As my soul rest in forever

SOMETHINGS LAST A LIFETIME
=============================================
I forgot everything and you reminded me again
Will Twice saying.''Very Sorry'', remove all pain

Things that we did together, How did I forget ?
by repeating our vows will make me strong yet !

Few things last and Some things last a lifetime
But love like ours comes just once in a lifetime

But love like ours comes just once in a lifetime
Things that we did together, How did I forger ?

Will twice saying.''Very Sorry'' remove all pain
You do entertain, making me free from complain

Now what can be used to turn both of us to gain
You reminded me everything, God always are plain

Let us pray to be happy and free from all the pain
We will now pluck the flowers, only after the rain

We will now pluck the flowers, only after the rain
Old dirt will be washed and there's no stain remain

Facing New Day
Sweatness of thoughts reviberate
As they pound so hard the thudding sounds echo in my heart
It is a new day, I've to face the new sun

Problems comes in a ton
Those I let go yesterday reinforce
Moments of joy wears sadness' force
And wishes of sun just fade in this eon

Today I become so courageous
Beating my chest and soaring so high
That those who lives well never better than me
Picking challenge to master my science of craft

For poetry is an alchemical science of words
Which wields inner world with subliminal words that light up the celestial bodies
Bringing earthly joy to mortals hearts

As I traverse on the water and burn in the fire of the words I test on a pad of thoughts. Poetry is what I face always
I dream poetry and eat in tomb of her plate with much ado love

I am again in the broad day of SunLight

Out of the emptiness and silence of the night
If you lose eyesight You will never see the Sunlight

So dance like a butterfly in the bright sunlight
Don't worry about the misery critique being tight

Everything is meant to be gone alright
Nothing in the dark since clouds burst to show daylight

The sunshine, get sweet sunlight alright, in a shine so bright
Evening sunlight once again Turns the world to shine so bright

It's So scared to dream in a world without any sunlight
Fill up all your days with sunlight Make the passion last every night

Then filled it with sound
And smell of our intimacy

And at last in death of a stranger
Tantalizing puzzle
The secret of the Monk's past
Dramatically revealed the Nirvana

Beneath the Sun
Days of toiling rings sullen bells
Happiness and sadness dances side by side
Waxing skin feel piercing days
Hateful moments makes one to cry

Even of settling dawn brew with joy
Torrential rainfall only a seed germinate
Season gives way to each other
bounty of seeds one reaps

In reality one sun fades when eternal sleep rob one's soul
Soil accept you as a blessed friend
Leaving love ones with agony and pains
As dead and birth lies still beneath the sun

All our craving under sun should be hate in a minimal form
Love in a maximum form, cry with an awful charm
Embrace every calamity as a way forward face reality as there're nothing new under the sun

Cold breeze drives away heat
Rays of sun makes cloudy weather to form
Sullen pains exist so sad
Traders wish a clear free weather
Farmers prefer a gloomy weather that nourish their crops

Lovers wish to clung to each other when the weather pour its tears
A poet wish to craft his words as dazzling mode gives mind unending words
Pilot wish a clear free weather to have a smooth flight
Everyone have always been hindered and influenced by a gloomy weather

IF LIFE WAS A PAINTING
If life was a painting
I'll be the artist of my happiness
Painting sweetness
To my path that may be filled with bitterness
Carving perfection to the part of my life with flaw

If life was a painting
I'll be adding colorful strength to my arms
Anything I am fainting
I'll be the architect of bountiful health
I'll paint myself an overflowing wealth

If life was a painting
I'll have the vision to see my fate
I'll always paint myself a golden plate

If life was a painting
Then my moments of joy would never end
I'll paint enough money so I'll never have to lend
I'll make my world brand new
So I'll never have to mend
I'll have plenty instead of few

If life was a painting

I'll add a red pinch of lip stick to the lips of my wife
I'll paint myself another life
Even when death takes my breath away

Moon in the lake
========================
When I was child, you told me
Nothing is impossible for a willing heart
But, No one is bound to do the impossible

The tree often hides the forest.but,
Every cloud sparks a silver lining
Times change
Other times, other customs
So always appreciate Now
No sooner said than done

Well named is more worth than a golden belt
Good blood doesn't know how to lie

Today, I am thousand miles away from you
But I remember your words of fragrance
In every country there is a league of bad road
So, Between the tree and the bark one shouldn't put a finger

Leave nothing to chance
It's better to be a hammer than a nail
So I am playing all my cards to be more Lucky
