Dreams

Dreams,
Streams of dreams,
About it, I wrote reams and reams

Source unknown from where it springs
Brings all emotions to life, without strings

Untamed fantasies, direful phobias,
Deep yearning with burning aspirations,
Nostalgic memories of forgone pasts,
No sooner one passes, the other starts

At times I find myself in deepest dark
Those moments when I cry,
Spontaneous emotions soaring high,

Anger, lust, greed and envy,
Moments forbidden preceding untold guilt
Yet there are times when these vices wilt
Every night when I enter dream
I hear sounds of laughing and scream
Unveiling every time a new state of affairs

Sometimes I wander like a mystic in forest,
There are times when I become ruler and rest,
Yet sometimes fighting hard to win battle,
Yet other moments when I am ordinary,
Feeding my cattle
There are times of dejections
Haunting nightmares and rejections

I witness all in mysterious magical dreamy world
But all vanishes in a flash,
When my eyelids open,
Eyes witnessing a new dawn
Life starts again with a beautiful morn.

My Ultimate Love

When the thoughts wander to search for you
I simply close my eyes
The string of thoughts ceases to exist
And I see you live and bright!

No moment passes without you,
Thoughts of you never leave my mind
Oh! My beloved, when I am in you and you in me,
Where the question of forgetting you arise

I venerate you as my mentor
I adore you as my dame
I seek you as my kin and friend
You are within me as a flame.

Pour me your wine, oh! Divine!
Let me drink and dance
I am swaying ecstatically in your love
I wish to remain eternally in this trance

You are the essence of this universe
You are the life’s ultimate verse
I long nothing but to bow before this grace
And sing hymns and dance in your praise.

My Fantasy

Every night you come in my dream
Flowing through my mind and body like a rampant stream
I thirstily wait for your presence
Like the droughty land waits,
For the first rain drop of monsoon
You dawn into my life like a fresh breeze of wild love
Yet your serene beauty and face resembles a dove
You tickle my dormant sensation
And make me wild with passion
Where are you my beloved?
I am yearning for your presence on my bed
Oh! I always wish you be there beside me
To make my life a sultrily glee
I would hold you tight in my arms and dance
And make love with you in the dark rainy nights
kissing your forehead, and coming down to your cheek
I want to osculate every part of yours in streak
my wet lips long for those warm bosoms
and my arms eager to wrap your waist
I wish to hear your sensuous voice
When our body swings wild without poise
Our vital vigours will rise to orgasmic heights
Then our souls will become one and blissfully light
In those lighter and ecstatic moments of love
I wish you cuddle me like a mother caring her child
And I blissfully sleep on your warm tender thighs.

Ruined Emperor

Oh! Lord!
King of Kings!
You were the most powerful emperor
I had ever seen

Alas! What a pity!
Now your kingdom is no more yours
The wind of fortune, sung a hostile tune
Victory kissed the feet of your enemy
Your friends and kins left you alone
Now you are standing bare feet
On this barren land
Under the scorching heat of Sun

Where have those days gone!
When, thou words were command for your people
Where have those days gone!
When, enemies fled with the sight of your shadow
Where have those days gone!
When merchants made bee line-
to offer you their hoarded wealth
Where have those days gone!
When, you had beautiful maidens around you
Who, enchanted you with their youthful essence
Where have those days gone!
When, you laid only on silky mattress,
Wore only the finest leathers on your feet
Where have those days gone!
When, the glasses of wine never left your lips

Everything passes away with the time
Nothing stands there forever
The ultimate truth is revealed
We are all travelers in the caravan of life
Nothing we brought along with us
Nothing will be taken to the ultimate abode

Now stop not, but flow,
Along with the currents of river called “life”
Step aside from those momentary pleasures
They are nothing but fugitive emotions

Walk along the path of renunciation
Watching the mind’s guileful behaviour
No two remains there for long
The clouds of ignorance will move away
When the gust of inner knowledge sway
Revealing the serene soul
Shining brightly,
Spreading rays of thousand Suns.

Two sides of life

On a rainy night
When I was utterly dismayed with life
Walking through the dark drenched street,
I saw an innocent child
Selling mulberries sitting under a tree
He was shivering in the cold breeze
Yet offering his mulberries to all passers-by
Yelling out loud with a sigh
His eyes were wet in tears,
And face never shown cheers
I stood there for a while,
Drops of rain were still dripping incessantly
I asked him gently,
“How much the mulberries will cost me?”
He said with an eager and trembling voice
“Sir, just ten rupees,
And you can fetch the whole mulberries”
I bought them all,
And gave him a note of hundred rupees,
He replied,
“Sir, I don’t have the change with me,
My house is near-by,
Come along my way,
I will get you the balance from where I stay”
He took me to his house
Through a murky constricted path
Where street lights were feeble
Yet no dearth for the waters pouring out of rain
Suddenly the child disappeared to somewhere
I could see him nowhere
For a while, in deep thoughts, I stood there
Suddenly he came out from a hovel
Offering me the balance with his tiny hands
His joy was ecstatic
For the first time he sold all his mulberries
A fainting voice yearned for him
It was his ailing mother, bedridden
She extended her arms for him
He ran in and hugged her,
Gave the earnings, with his eyes gleaming
Then he turned to me and told his mother,
Ma!, he is the man who bought all our mulberries.
Her eyes were wet and tears rolled over the cheek,
with both her hands she revered me
Yet her lips did not utter a single word to me,
He said she is blind and dumb
Words vanished and I remained mum,
My fallacies about life shattered
On witnessing their agony, my ego was battered
That night, I wished, I had a hoard
Left the balance and I searched for the road
My heart was weeping for those poor souls,
Yet I realized, Joy and sorrow are part of the whole
Every mortal shares this on earth
They are destined for this from their birth.
Most of them feel pity for their state
Yet few are there who are content with their fate.

A Journey called Life

-->

A miniscule sperm I was,

When I entered the womb

Ran fleetly beating my counterparts

Searching the land of pleasance for solace

Those nine months,

In the womb of my mother,

Filled with warmness and love,

Moments were timeless,

I sensed nothing, but the joy of eternity!

Then the moment arrived,

My ecstatic rapture was shattered

I was pulled out, without my consent

Dropped on earth, to fight for life..!!

Though she was there with her warmth and love

Yet eternal moments did not last

Tranquility became matter of past

I was fragile and impuissant

Watching impotently my misted present

Many faces held me with love and care,

Yet few annoyed and frighted me with their stare

Seasons passed and I grew to a yearling

Stepped out with a zest to conquer, though toddling

Childhood days once passed, you will never find

Memories of yesteryears brings nostalgic feelings in my mind,

Those were the years,

My spirit thrilled with the wonders of life

Butterflies were beautiful, so was the sky

Chirping of crickets, and birds flying high,

Sun, Moon and Stars all were amazing delights

Even with kins and friends I enjoyed my puerile fights

Formal pedagogy was never my way

As every child I always yearned to play

Soon I entered the age of adolescence

The years when I first felt my youthful essence

My boisterous deeds made me proud

Applauds made me demigod among crowd

Mind was zestful filled with exuberance for life

Buoyant spirits were flowing without strife

Sensuous maidens were mesmerising

Revealing their youthful presence yet mystifying

But moments are ever changing, no two are same

Spicy maiden turned to an ugly dame

Crest of every mount follows the trough of a vale

Joy and sorrow are part of every tale

Sunny day follows a rainy one,

One has to play the game, even if there is no fun,

I was impelled to earn for my bread and butter

Thwarting my youthful spirit, yet I could not utter

Hoarding wealth was my new aspiration

Worldly desires piled without realization

My greed rose to its culmination,

Yet my material race did not find a cessation

On way to success of my worldly path

I saw a sage meditating at the Ghat

I knelt before him for his divine grace

He chortled, and said “search your real face",

The moments forgone will never return

This is life’s lesson that one should learn

Life is a chance for seeking essence of soul,

Do not spoil it only for worldly goal,

Death may part you from this flesh and frame,

Yet your inner essence will remain same.

Arise, from your deep slumber of desire

Begin the journey of life afresh with a spiritual fire

You have to go far and deep to search the soul

Quit not till u reach your ultimate goal”.

My Spiritual Odyssey

My heart was weeping, but my lips were grinning
The ironies of life always made me a great thespian
The joyous moments are just an illusion,
The drama of pleasure and pain exists with evolution.

I wondered the reasons for my dysphoric fate
My quests for answers always lead me to a solitary state
Life as ever stood like an unsolved puzzle
Mere mortal I am, I agnised, when life became a tussle.

Thoughts appeared from nowhere to ignite my anguish
Those thoughts however could not make me languish
A spiritual odyssey through strait and constricted paths of mind
Searching liberation from traumas of life for humankind.

My aching heart and crying soul, sought divine guidance
Writhed thoughts untangled reflexively in silence
Now witness I am as I watch the divine’s ultimate abode
My body is now a shrine, there dwells the supreme Lord.

My Questions to God

“Oh! Lord, The mightiest!
I have not seen you ever,
Through my naked eyes
Nor, I have ever perceived you
With my senses
Yet, I know,
You are the omnipotent,
You are the omnipresent,
You are the omniscient
I have read,
It is mentioned in the Vedas and Upanishads
Why then the mortals beg for their wellbeing?
Why do they think that you are not seeing?
Don’t you know their needs?
Or are you not paying heed?
Are you not watching everyone?
Or is it that you have left someone?
Or may be you are a blind
But I believe you are not,
For this creation is so beautiful
Meticulously carved with perfection
Without sight,
How you could have created such a masterpiece?
Why then you not act when there are so many disparities?
Why then you forgo the prayers of mortals?
They offer you garlands of scented flower
Adore you, for you possess the knowledge and power
Still, many are waiting for the blessings you will shower
Are you deliberately ignoring them?
For you think,
The mortals have offered prayers in pursuit of a vested interest
Or is it because of the covetousness of the mortals wish?
Wish is the desire of the unsatisfied human mind
Most are gross yet some are subtle
Subtle wishes are from deep yet brittle
I too have a wish,
To meet the Master of this Universe!
God! Guide me towards you,
Or else I will slide into the vicious,
Slippery mortal world of delusion
Enlighten my path with your radiant light
Time is too short,
And I need to know a lot,
Enlighten me! Enlighten me!”
These were the few questions and one subtle desire
that lasted till the dusk of my life,
Now I realise,
Those were worthless questions and boasting desire
Filled with words of ignorance and pride
I leave them all behind,
Now I am a castaway,
I am left with nothing,
Now I witness, the meanings of Vedas
The Creation itself is the Creator and the Creature
The divine and the devotee are not two anymore
Duality ceased to exist
Am I now in you or you in me?
The barriers have merged
Like the drop of water fallen in an ocean
Questions have vanished to nowhere
Now only pure consciousness exists.
