The Dimensions

The Dimensions

Hurled a star in the sky
Climbed the moon and went by
Looked at the earth,
Continents and oceans
Went in search of dimensions.

More we discovered more we found
Farther but remained
The final frontiers.

The Blue Dome

The Blue Dome

Oh! the blue dome
Why do you smile,with mirth!
Do you not remember my conquests
On the earth and beyond.
The sky smiled and said:
"This is not the first time you visit
Nor will it be the last
You will keep coming again and again
you will trample time and space
Only with one purpose,one aim
To subjugate whatever,under your feet
And for someone who stood erect
You came with all your might
With scyth in your hands,
And strange weapons in your mind
But I can sustain trampling and survive
A stage,where enactments must take place
Again and again"
Oh! the sky but why do you smile?
Or do you!

Longing for You

Longing for you

I want to be there,
Where rainbow strikes myriad colours
Where flowers bloom with shy smile
The myna tunes love songs
And the bees weave nectar,
Where streams meet in fusion
Shingles strike musical notes
And start laughing and singing together.
I want to be there,
When first rays of sun
touch the mountain breast
And shower gold spread,
When an oasis culled by vision
Stand as hope in the seamless desert.
I want to be there,
Where tender blades of grass
Look up at sky and collect hope
Where lovelorn birds embrace each other;
Only if you are!

Do Nothing

Do Nothing

Do nothing
Just let it happen

Let the moist fog
Envelop you
Let the songs of nature
Fill your ears.

Let the fragrance of flowers
Sublime you with essence.

Do nothing
Just let it happen
Let the ocean currents know
Where to direct you
Let the sails of passion
Fill with directionless winds

Let us enjoy the limits of horizon
If there is one.

Beyond Solitude

Beyond Solitude
I cannot forget the solemn face
Nature in its form, nascent
As if you walked straight from a fountain
Hairs waist long,black and shining
Drops of water still clinging
So as not to leave the seat of beauty
Holding on tethers.
My eyes sat unmoving
Thousand suns raced through my veins
When my fingers touched your shapely arms.
True, you looked the other way
But came towards, though haltingly
Your Hands gradually tilting upwards
Till entwined around my neck
As if a creeper thirsty of love
Climbs strong trunk of a tree.
Let us go to the confines of the cave
To ward off prying eyes of sun
So that imprints of nascent love
Is not carried beyond the solitude.

Another Nest

Another Nest

I put my hands in the wet sand
Covered it with some more wet sand
And made a burrow.
The sea waves smiled at me
The blue sky laughed
The winds touched my ears
And whispered some unsavoury remarks.
I did not understand thentill I went back
And found a flat sea shore
Without any vestige of my castle.
I was lamenting with head in my hands.
The blue sky smiledThe winds whispered again.
A seagull flew past quietlyTo build another nest.
