The God in you, Love~~~

The human attributes that you hold, Love,
Are, to me,
As stardust is to fairies!

I find my peace in you,
My sooth, my meaning,
My faith and even my strength as well!

Your eyes are more than desirous;
Sparkling as dew does, on early mornings,
On freshly sprouted grass!
Your touch is more than awakening
Remaining that which thirsts my femininity
Your voice is calming
Whether it rumbles or it sings to my hearts
And your presence is, in itself,
A comfort in which my whole senses
Seeks to douse into!

Yet, the human attributes that you hold
Are mere clouds
They shall dissipate and turn into rain
While, you shall enrobe of your real ones!

Yes, Love,
You are a God,
Fallen into human form
For me!

You remain,
Not only mine own God
But that of the whole world's,
Humanity lauds you
And I, your eternal lover,
Am jealous of this attention
That you give to others
Wanting, solely,
To have your eyes locked into mine
At all times!

Pray, be not too bent on the life you lead
Your duty matters,
So does mine
Yet, the main aim of it all
Remains in successfully reaching
Back there,
Where you shall wear solely
Your real attributes!

My Wish~~~~

I have been brought about by Earth
For reasons known to herself
I have been ripped from the skies
As, maybe,
I have angered their rulers!

So far,
Life on Earth
Has been as prickly as a fall
In a bowl of cactus
And as risky as a dive
In a shark infested sea!

For,
The sins of life
Hurt me
It would seem that humans
Care not for the purity of their inner self
It would seem, rather,
That they hunger for that which demands
The many demons inhabiting their bodies!

Pray,
I remain grateful to Earth
For all her blessings bestowed upon me
But I hope I hurt her not
Each time I look up at the skies
And wish,
Just wish,
I could go back there
To the comforting stability of the abodes of the Gods!

With you~~~~

Love looked at me, seemingly not understanding why
My gaze was fixed on the night sky
Life is here, he said,
Life is here on Earth,
Where we are all meant to give of ourselves
To the fullest!

I know,
Said I, hiding the anguish in my voice
Hoping to display not the fever running through me
While wanting not,
To vex him!

I know,
Said I,
But our story emanates from up there
Life is here, and there, is the power that rules us
And here, you have become, for me,
The personification of that power!

How can such be? he asked not understanding me still

See, said I,
The mystical is meant not to be understood
The mystical has chosen to touch me
As it did, it pushed me to you
Submissive, as usual,
I abided
Hoping to grow in you,
Gardens of never seen before flowers
And expanses of crystal clear lakes
So that,
We both bloom with their freshness
And turn into love's symbolism!

Life is here, obviously,
But someday, we shall both be back there,
The part of existence that Man is still trying to decipher!
Without you, the night sky holds no meaning
With you, it becomes heaven!

Adamance~~~~

I shall die with the skies' wish pulsating in my heart

Even if no one understood me

Even if no one else saw the tears

Felt the pain

Or even saw my hidden struggles!

I shall die with this faith ringing loud in my heart

As, 

Such remains the essence of my life

Such, yes, only such,

Watered with the droplets of love,

Can give me sooth!

Love, still,

Which remains so aloof,

Distant, uncaring even

Not seeing the need to shelter me

From the storm which rages in me!

I shall make of myself an agonising moth

Seeking solely for the light of the skies

I shall turn into a freshly planted seed

Thirsting for water to survive

I shall morph into the shadows

Hoping, desperately that the sun's rays would purify me

I shall turn into my own tears

And merge with the raging ocean

If such is what the skies wish for me!

Love, though, bound by previous births,

Remains my aim!

Wish I the skies would thrust upon him

The same awakening which they thrust upon me

So that,

Aware of his own purpose,

He would take my hand in his

And hold it

As if, it were,

The bridge to the land of youth and joy!

I shall die with the skies' wish pulsating in my heart

As doing otherwise

Is simply unacceptable

For my soul!

Why, would the Goddess incarnate herself

Have been able to accept anyone else's warmth

Other than the God of Love

When tied they both were to the fate that bound them together?

A woman, as one~~~~~

Is being woman a burden
So much that, constantly,
The woman requires protection,
Relies on dependency
And on the good faith of man?

Why, living as a woman in a shadowy world
Has had me experiencing the shudders of pain,
The pangs of rejection,
The needs to be blameless at all times,
And the requirements to be perfect!

A woman, as one,
I am to know when to open my mouth,
When to smile,
When to hide my tears,
When to pretend,
When to be strong,
When to act unaffected,
And when to seem to enjoy life!

But I do wonder, if, someday,
While I shall enjoy the eternal blooms of Eden,
I shall feel this burden of being a woman weigh on me
I wonder,
If I shall be assessed as a mere piece of merchandise
Instead of having my secret diary opened up
And read
As one of the masterpieces of creation?

Why, is it
Is it the shadow of Eve's fall that we, women
Do carry with us
Is it her sins that weigh on our hearts
And make us feel, like,
Unless we resort to being perfect on the whole
We shall never find acceptance?

The Urges of Love

And if I pushed you to the ground
Tied you up with tight knots
And demanded, ferociously,
From your eyes,
Sparks of love,
Would you give them to me?

Would you satisfy my craving
And allow me to recline over you
As contentedly as a well fed lioness
Seeking now, nothing else
Except for some cuddles before
Diving into the pool of reality
Whereby the layers of existence
Reveal themselves
And allow beings to see the meaning of their lives?

And if I bit you to the extent as to hurt you
To cause you to bleed
While I'll sip on your blood
As only such shall be able to give me joy
By allowing your imprints to grow in me
And wings to grow on both of our backs
So that, in the snap of fingers,
We'll discard off our human attires
And fly there to where we belong
With high flying beats resounding in our hearts
Will you love me
Or will you see me as a monster?

And if I chose to succumb into your expanse
To the extent of losing my own self
Into adorning myself of yours
Knowing that anything else shall make me miserable
Would you play for me,
The beats of the magical lyres
Would you act out for me,
The scenes of a written story
And would you sing for me
Those odes which you keep well hidden in your heart?

Rescued~~~~

The night sky,
Having sculpted in its darkness,
The eternal love Gods embracing each other,
Sensed my distress through my silence
And,
Like the most caring friend that it remains,
Poked me,
With its glittery fingers,
While keeping pasted on its face,
A questioning look accompanied by a chuckle!

Where have you been?
Your absence is being felt in all celestial realms
Why have you been remaining so silent,
Withdrawn, hidden, locked away in your own company?

My heart heaved,
My throat tightened up
Tears swelled up and hung at the brim of my eyelids,
Causing me to bite my lips harshly!

The poet in me is dying,
Whispered I to it in between choking breaths
This world's weight is too burdensome
For my frail self
Love remains cruel and cold
So much that the emptiness in me
Has grown from being a tiny space
To being a colossal empire!

The poet in me is dying,
The colossal emptiness
Has engulfed my soul, as if,
It were a giant tentacled sea creature
And I,
A mere raft!
Suffocating, hurting, broken up,
I had chosen to let myself be dragged
To its unfathomable abysses!

The night sky,
Reached out to me with its glittery hands,
Picked me up from where I was sitting,
And cradled me as if it were my caring mother
Have you not proclaimed yourself to belong to the skies,
Asked it to me
Have you not been given a hint of your path
Have you not been willed a most mystical rescue?

Pray, if it is all about love's ache
Have you not been whispered about it being
That which has been decreed as being the rightful
By the power controlling Fate itself?

Love,
Remains the mystery of my depths
The mystery which Man shall keep seeking
As long as they shall be!

Love,
Remains the enigma
Which pushes its breath into embryos
To allow life to sustain itself!

Love,
Remains submitting into blinded abandonment
To allow the Lover to mutilate you into pieces
Should he feel that such is what he wishes to!

Love,
Remains exemplified by the story lived by eternal Gods of Love
When Time was still young,
And when Faith still flew along with the winds
Scattering itself into bursts of hope
Into each and everyone's hearts!

Renewed by its words,
I hugged the night sky
And placed on its cold cheeks
A grateful kiss
While it gently placed me at my table
For another session of poetical indulgence!

The other side of Freedom~~~

Freedom belongs to me as it belongs to life
Freedom implies
That, like the waves,
I can roar and rage
As much as I desire to
But like the shores,
Stoic and unmoved,
Life can spit at me,
That which it deems best
Rather than that which I tantrum for!

Freedom makes of me
That which I am
In my own individuality
While giving the rest of the world
Enough space
To accept me as I am
And to discard me if deemed not fit!

Why, freedom tastes as exquisite as menthol
Flowing down the throat
Freedom feels as pleasurable
As a cosy evening chat around a coffee
Freedom allows differences to be accepted
Scars and open sores to be kissed
Ugliness to be hugged tight
Miracles to occur for all to see
And life to tread on its own fated path!

Yet, freedom also gives life
The opportunity to choose
To tread on another path
If so does it deem best
After all, is the other name of freedom
Not known as Love?

Like Love~~~

Like a leaf
I keep being blown by the winds!

Like the moon
I take delight of the night sky!

Like the owl
I roam, all alone and lament at darkness!

Like the rose
I glow, in my own way!

Like honey
I taste of exquisiteness!

Like the waves
I keep struggling to copulate with the shores!

Like the mermaids
I keep singing songs of hypnotism!

Like fairies
I keep enjoying moments lost in play!

Like a Goddess
I keep suffering the pangs of separation from my God!

Like dusk
I keep expecting the dawn!

Like a poem
I keep yearning to be read!

And like Love,
I keep thirsting for the Beloved!

And if?~~~~

And if I told you
That you are a God
Fallen and self forsaken
Roaming an aimless world
Merely to save me,
Would you believe me?

Would you allow me
To shut your eyes close
And to place, on your heart,
A kiss,
A kiss so feverish
That it would open up
The locks of your soul
To have you see for yourself
That which I try to mean!

And if I told you
That life on Earth
Has no meaning
Other than giving us all
The opportunities to be miserable
So as to repent for our falls
And to yearn for the higher abodes
Would you allow yourself
To be swayed by my words
Would you see truth in them
Would you believe?

Pray, nothing matters more
Than letting the vines
Which we have engulfed in our hearts
Free,
So that they do meet with each other
And tangle among themselves
To build, for us,
The steps leading there
To where the higher power wishes to see us!

Why, you are a God,
Fallen for the sake of the love
That rules us both!
Without you, I shall cease to exist
Without me, you shall always be empty!

Love hurts~~~~

Love hurts,
At least, it does,
When it is true and genuine
Or not reciprocated
Or requiring one of the two
To be overly submissive
Even shedding off one's attire
To adorn that of the other!

Love hurts,
And requires only the pure at heart
To stick to it,
As diligently as stars do
On the dark sky,
Every single night!

Love hurts,
But,
The choice of holding on to it
Displays its sincerity,
After all,
Would life even have a meaning without it?

Pray, love hurts,
Yet,
As if, driven by my own subtle instincts,
I remain pining for it,
As if I were a drug addict experiencing withdrawal,
Finding no solace in anything else,
Other than in its enslaving whiff!

Why, life on Earth remains conditional
Going through stages,
Stages, each laden with own hues,
Hues guiding each and everyone
Towards their respective path!

And I,
Have had love's distinction
Revealed to me,
As if, it were a page
And I, its pen!

Pray, love hurts
But I shall keep myself bent on it
As long as I shall have enough stamina
To carry my soul in my body!

For the sake of fated Love~~~

Why, when the Goddess incarnate, herself, suffered
For the fulfilling of her fated love
It becomes the norm for the rest of humankind
To suffer for same!

Pray, Love, rigid at times and melting at others
Has me swirling in the open sky,
Filling its expanse
With lines and lines poured out
From the secret diary of my heart,
Lines,
Meant for one and all to read
As, just like for the Goddess incarnate,
My tie with Love
Is one which originates
From when Existence was set in place!

Pray, every space of my material self
Is filled with the yearnings for Love
So much that no place is left
For a substitute!

Why, the agony of the Goddess pulsates in my senses,
Her delight runs through my emotions
And her plight is inscribed in the core of my soul!

Life, if meant to be without Love,
Would be void
And needless
So much that Existing itself
Would be a waste!

Pray, after all, stars would exist not,
Without the night,
Life would exist not without its mystery,
Gods would exist not without faith
And music would exist not without lovers!

Why, when the Goddess incarnate herself, suffered

For the fulfilling of her fated love,

Who am I to be denied of such
When inscribed such is
On the parchments of my own fate!

The Foul Air~~~

The Heavens' lights turn off by themselves
The Gods and the Goddesses lower their gazes
Suck in their tears
And retreat to their respective apartments,
While, having, engraved on their faces,
A poem, hurting and suffering!

The Heavens' air turn foul
And the fairies,
Shuddering with fear,
Mutter among themselves,
'Something is just not right!'

Pray, the Mother of the Gods stands up
All alone
And glances, in her magical mirror,
At the happenings of Earth!

Remaining ever so silent,
Her lips shut tight,
She can help not but let blood trickle down her face!

Her agony cannot be felt by anyone
Though it can be seen by everyone
Yet, none can come to her help
As,
The whole of humanity has chosen
To forsake the path she has chosen for them,
Caring,
Rather, to indulge in the pleasures
Of temporary sins!

Why, the whole of the Heavens are grieving
More so, since, they can have no control over things,
Their hearts, suffering with the pricks of pain
Shall be ignored,
While they'll try
To keep carrying on with their duties
While the Mother of Gods
Shall wipe her tears and smile comfortingly at them
To imbibe in them
Her strength!

The lone star~~~~

Dusk has fallen
The evening sky, enrobes her grey dress
And adorns herself
With a lone star!

A lone star,
Which catches my gaze
And which bids me
To wonder about the cause of everything!

Why, like me
The evening sky shall die
To be reborn as a new dawn,
A new dawn
Invigorating those who shall feel its glow on their cheeks
Along with the blessing of the joys of life!

Like me,
The lone star
Shall cease to shine
Its demise shall break mirrors into pieces
And cause soils to rattle
While bringing seas to tumble by themselves!

Like me,
Nothing shall exist someday
Pray,
Maybe,
Not existing is the real state of bliss
When
Everything else
Is simply the weight of our karma on our souls!

Believe~~~~

Hovering over me,
Is the credibility with which I adorn myself
And with which
I tie you to me!

Pray, when this world relies on facts,
Facts which nevertheless get burnt
As easily as paper does in fires
I know,
Believing in that which cannot be explained,
Which cannot be discerned,
And which remains so subtle
Is a feat meant not for the faint hearted!

Yet, the credibility of mine own self
Is what I rely on
When dirty water floods my foundations
And when the days remain as dark
As nights without the gleams of stars!

Why, this world is but a mystery
Many have tried to prove its meaning
But in the very end, its essence
Lies in that which remains unknowable,
That which shall reveal itself
As it wills
Upon its own schedule
Upon its own course!

Believe!
Yes, please do!
Believe in the eternal bond that we share
Believe in the passionate love in which we burn
Believe in the mystical story that life set for us
Someday, somehow,
Hand in hand,
We shall pluck cherries in evergreen gardens
And we shall be content
Knowing that,
Our love emerged winsome
Even when we were challenged with a conditional world!

Believe in the silence of the skies
Believe in the glimmer of the moon
Believe in the power which bids wind to blow
And water to flow!
Believe in it all
As everything else,
Is mere falsity!

My resolution~~~

I'll follow you to the stars
I'll forsake that which pleases me most
I'll lay my heart open for you
To cherish and to caress
As if it were the rarest of flowers!

Why, the meaning of Love has already unfolded itself
The darkness of existence
Has given way to its mystical purpose
And I,
Can only succumb to it
As ecstatically as bees do
When they meet with nectar!

I'll swallow my tears even
I'll choke on my hurt and pain
I'll smile if you so desire it
And I'll forget that I exist
Seeking to cater solely,
For you!

I'll unravel life's secrets for you
I'll dig up life's mysteries and
I'll show you the way forward
Towards there where we are meant to be!

I'll allow myself to bloom into a Goddess
The same one which you hurt
And caused to fall,
While you'll morph into a God,
Mine sole!

I'll hold your hair and play
While you'll create stars in the firmament
I'll demand that your gaze be on me
While you'll see that the Universe flows smoothly
I'll sit on your lap and bury my face in your neck
While you'll decide on the fates of souls!

Why, I exist for you
Deprived,
I shall perish!

This Love Story~~~

Desires crawl all over me
In my bloodstream
In my veins
On my skin
Even in the beats of my heart
Desires crawl all over me
And I,
Like a mermaid having the ocean for myself
Can only enjoy their pulses,
Pulses which echo in the shimmers of my eyes
Pulses which get written, encrypted
In between the lines of my poems!

Desires crawl all over me
And I, suddenly, can soar from the seas
To the skies
To kiss the moon
To blow at the sun
To scatter the stars
And to tease the Gods!

Desires crawl all over me,
So much that eyes closed,
I forget everything else
From toils to miseries
Caring solely to build my castles
Imbibed with the hues of love
Founded on the solid grounds of mysticism
And held together
By strict moral codes and principles!

Desires, as have been desired by the higher powers
Desires, meant to be the embodiment
Of a love story
Which shall outpace time and overpower Death!

Why, if they adorn not life with beauty
I wonder what would?

Knocks of Doubt~~~

Doubt, so like a selfish demon
Hovers over me with a sarcastic smile on its face
And I,
So like a lost and shivering bird
Cowers beneath it,
Biting my lips till they bleed,
Keeping my eyes shut tight,
Waiting, for when it would tire itself
And move away, leaving me to tend to myself
And to my choices!

Pray, it remains a matter of unshaken faith
To stand and to face the gales of Doubt
However mighty these may be
For, once, I have been trusted as being worthy enough
As to be revealed the cause of my purpose here
On Earth!

My belief in my cause
Remains the reason why I smile at times
And why I cry at others!
My belief in my cause
Holds me firmly on the ground I walk on to
And gives me a focus
As to where I am headed to in this realm
And to where I shall be,
In my next life!

The demon of Doubt can sneer at me
However much it wishes to
For the fire of mysticism has already been lit in my heart
And like a dutiful priestess
I do tend to it,
Making sure it keeps on being lit
And never gets doused off
Why, shall it someday be that my convictions
Turn out to be void and disappointing
I would still accept it as being the consequences of tests
Thrust upon my soul
By those powers that rule over me and over all of Existence
By keeping themselves subtle and invisible!

Languishment~~~

I am the course of a river
And you, Love, remain the ocean,
The ocean, wild, raging,
Deep and alluring!

I go on my way, trying to forget
About my yearning to merge into you
I go on my way,
Offering sooth to humans on summer days
Offering homes to aquatic animals
And bliss to water nymphs and fairies!

I go on my way,
Trying to pretend that my tears fill not the river bed
And that my heart bleeds not with the weight of amorous love!

I go on my way,
Keeping my lips solidly closed
Knowing that if do open them
I shall cause the river bed to change its course
And destroy not only myself
But all those whose path I shall cross on my way!

Still, it remains an accepted fact
That all rivers do have to meet with the ocean
So, I shall keep going on my way
While swallowing my tears and by
Rejoicing upon my chosen silenced state
Merely because of the faith in the power that drives my breath
And in the hope that it gives me!

Broods' Blues~~~

I've been asked to live my life
My youth, or, at least, the remaining bit of it
Shall be snatched away from me
My radiance shall fade into murky shades
My zeal shall dissipate into vapour
And my energy shall drop to below frightening levels!

I've been asked to live my life yes,
But what is the meaning of this life?
What is its purpose
And where am I headed to
Guided mercifully by the skies
I do act out as I do deem it right
Hoping that the consequences of my actions
Won't strike me back
Yet,
Life, without the love willed to me
Is merely a blank page of paper
A story unwritten
A poem not spoken
A song not sung
A disgrace,
A moment meant not to be glorified
A moment meant to be used to self mortification
Self destruction and self immolation!

Why, my youth shall flower again, somewhere
Where I glimpsed once, in a dream
My youth shall flower but my heart,
My frail and sensitive heart
Shall bounce only if it shall be fulfilled
And its fulfillment remains solely in acting out
As the skies willed it;
Love's and mine hands meant to be scotched to each other
With a rage so powerful
That no force in Existence
Can cause them to be detached!

I've been asked to live
But living, while forsaking the skies' will
Is certainly not worth it!

The Crystal Ball

While I waltzed at the Ball

A little voice I heard

Go ask the Crystal Ball

It said, to have your future heard!

I left the dancing knight in doom in the playroom

Opened the door of the secret room

And verily inquired of the Future

If it will come with Defeature!

No, laughed the Happy Ball

You will not remain a Fallen Soul

You will be saved by your mate in Soul

All you need to do is to give him a Call

And tell him how miserable you are without his Enthrall

And how you will give your Catcall

To lament at Nightfall

If He is not here to stop your Fall

Smile, cried the joyful Ball

Your miserable state will be in Stall

For you shall Rise, along with the Sunrise

Together with your mate, whom you Idolise

Both of you will be Symbolised

Sing, whispered the overwhelmed Ball

For the Heavens will be singing words of Praise

At your mate's love for your Gaze

Your abandon in your Maze

That which you chose in a moment of Craze

So blind were you to be love of your Mate

Will be remembered as late

Dance, asserted the ecstatic Ball

For the Future is coming at the Birdcall

Your Mate cannot be without your caring Call

And neither can You be without his Recall.

Oh I am Impatient,

Without your Love, I am Deficient

I am still in Learning

To be Abiding,

Please forgive my Caprice

For I become heartbroken without your Edifice

Freedom, is it~~~~

If the cosmos offered me freedom
By allowing me to jump into the ocean
Of pleasures
From my tied up fate with Love
I still would refuse it!

After all, Love is because of which I have been created
Love is because of which I exist today,
Love shall forever be because of which I shall be!

Love remains the stars which glitter in the night sky
Love remains the songs of my guardian fairies on days
When despair's tears stream down my face
As abundantly as flood waters do as they crash down from mountains
Love remains the force of the breath which allows my heart to beat
And my body to function!

Without Love, I would have no purpose in Existence
And I would simply choose to opt out of life
Instead of enjoying a dip in the ocean of pleasures!

Pray, someday, I wish to be there where it all started
Decked in sparkling moon gleam attire
And smile at Love
Radiantly and tell him
I've never doubted of your love
Even if Earth was such a treacherous place to have it acted out!
I've never doubted of your love
As even if we were held prisoners by the many games of Maya,
The Goddess did deem it best to whisper of your name to me
I've never doubted of your love
Even if we were so like metal and soft cotton!
I've never doubted of your love
As I've sworn to the Goddess to submit to it
As long as it would require!

Why, freedom seems so painful
When compared with your love
Freedom remains like a ship lost in a storm at sea
Or even like a plane responding not to any commands
Freedom, without you,
Feels indeed like forced slavery!
And if the cosmos offered it to me
Why,
I would be the most cursed soul in the entire universe!

The Silence of My Heart~~~

If I open up my heart
And show you the tremors
That have invaded my secret haven
Because of you
Would you allow me to unfold, for us both, love's wings
And fly towards there
Where sunsets are passionately tainted wine red?

If I open up my heart
And read to you
The story of our connection
As the Goddess had whispered to me in my dreams
Would you allow me the opportunity
To continue with the narrative of our romance
As we will live it here on Earth?

If I open up my heart
And play for you
The tunes of the Heavenly abodes
As they rhythmically pace with us
Waiting for when we would appease them
Merely by allowing us to be
Would you then believe in the mysticism
That surrounds us both?

If I open up my heart
And choose to give it to you
To cherish or to trample upon
As you so desire
Would you hand out your palm
And accept it?

My heart, though, remains beating and frail
Opening up to you seems to be what it wants
It had been so even before the Goddess had made it known
That such is what She desires
Yet,
My heart is sealed into silence
Bound by societal laws
Which govern the being of a woman!

My heart can respond,
My heart cannot open up
Even if its chosen silence
Is suffocating it!

Love's Bearing

Love, said I
Without you, flowers would sway not
Without you, clouds would cry all the times
Without you, music would not be played
And poetry would be all extinct!

Love, said I
Without you, this world does not deserve its existence
Without you, I, myself have no purpose in functioning
Without you, the whole cosmos would be torn apart
As, you, yes, you, are the spark that ignites everything!

You ignite my heart as to have it swirling into whirlpools
You ignite my broods as to have me smiling contentedly for no reason
You ignite my inner heaven as, in the very end, it is your home
Your ignite my soul, as you remain its missing part
You even ignite my senses as to cause them to yearn for your dew!

Love, said I
Without you, nothing would make sense
So much that I would even refuse the heavens
Caring not for their stability and sooth
Seeking, rather, the solace of that which feels not
Why, like waves, like stones, like the wind and the stars even
Love,
Without you, even Death has no significance!

Love, said I
I am the fickle human, and you, God
I am the blown seed, and you, an orchard
I am a note, and you, a whole composition
I am a poetess and you, my muse
I am lost, and you, my destination!

Love,
Without you, living,
Yes, living merely for the sake of it
Is certainly not worth it!

Said I to Dusk

When Lovers, are for each other,

All smitten,

Pray, it is said that the universe

Does pave the way for them

To unite!

When Lovers, feel, for each other,

Genuinely and abundantly

Why, the Gods themselves

Blush and shower blessings on them!

Pray, is Love not meant to be such

Even if the world is laden

With the impositions of Time,

And with the rule of Death?

After all, 

Would this world even have been

If Love had not been its sparkle?

For Creation to have been,

Somehow, Existence must have felt His own loneliness

Weigh down on him

So much that He brought everything else forth

And now,

Being His children,

We can help not but adhere to His example!

Why, when Lovers are gifted with a pure heart

Pray, even the forces of darkness

Shy away to allow them

To saunter along their paths

With hands held

And with violins playing from their hearts!

Pray, such did I say to Dusk,

As it bid the Sun to doze

Thereby bringing me to sit and wonder

At the very meaning of Love!

Say, Love~~~

Say, Love,
Look at the skies
Reach for them with your soul and
Plant creepers in your heart
So that they do pave the way for us
To get back there
Someday,
When we shall be done
With our load of duties!

Love,
Look at me
And see that which I hide
Hear that which I say not
Understand that which I make out as being a puzzle
Look at me
And open your consciousness
To allow it to be imbibed
Of that which you have forgotten;
The very cause of your passage here on Earth
The very cause of my fall
The very reason why the skies will us to be!

Love,
Look at the deities
And see your power in their essence
See your need for their grace
See your gratitude for their guidance
But also,
See your purpose as they desire it to be!

Love,
The transcendent glory of our story
Shall be celebrated in the heavens
Only if you do look at all that which surround you
With a mystical gaze!

Love,
The human flesh perishes
However much humanity does try to preserve it
As life on Earth remains like a sentence in a prison,
A prison laden with traps and with outstretched borders
Why, there where we belong,
Existence shines on
With some sort of comforting stability!

Love,
I shall cling on to you
As koalas stay stuck on trees
I shall cling on to you
As stars do in the sky every single night
I shall cling on to you
As mystics do to their own beliefs
For, other than for you,
I shoulder no purpose in this tricky world!

Love,
Look at the skies
And listen to them
As they speak to you!

Mystical Echoes

I looked at Love,
Felt the warmth of his presence melt me,
Indulged in the rising dance of butterflies in my heart,
Woke up to the pulsating beats of his charisma in my senses
And wondered,
If he knew about the past life we had lived!

Why, the skies have granted me the grace of remembering
So much that even without really knowing Love in depth
I seem to read and understand him from afar!

I had run, from him and his ardour
Which had turned cruel towards me
I had run, seeking to find refuge in a world
Where misery and suffering abound
I had run, hoping to lose  myself in that web
So much that while being lost,
So would be my memories and the feelings that I hold for him!

But it would seem that love, when true and pure
Knows not any sort of severance
Love, willed upon by the powers which make up existence
Remains, solidly coiled around itself
As if it were the product of black holes merged with each other
As if it were the product of Existence and Consciousness,
That which is known as none other than life itself!

Why, ever since I was willed my memory
I have been living in some sort of sweet agony
Wondering if I would ever find him in such a vast Earth
Ever since I started writing,
My lines were constantly filled by my quest and with my insecurities
And now that I am aware of his ties to me
All my words are dedicated to him!

I looked at Love
Breathed in the soothing peace that his aura thrusts at me
And wondered if I shall ever muster the courage
To open the curtains of my heart
And to let him hear
Of the sweet songs sung by the higher powers therein
And give him a show
Of the beautiful paintings drawn by mysticism therein
All of them, simply celebrating the sweet and passionate
Jolts that allow us to love
Even if that love dates back
From the time Creation was not even existing!

My existence~~~~

The weight of the pain that throbs my soul
Is merely a tiny fickle of dust
Trying to find its way amidst the vastness of existence
So as to make me feel soiled!

The exalt of the joy that pulses through my heart
Is more vibrant than angels' songs
As Love, when chosen by the skies, has no comparison
And cannot be described and explained through words!

Why, when the skies themselves have deemed that such should be
Enacting it does solely feel
Like a taste of honey on a fragrant morning
Or even like a sip of wine on a romantic night
Why, it does even feel like the warmth of the sun
As cold air stings the skin on a chilly day!

Having been touched by the tip of a magic wand
I have become enamored with love
As saints are with mysticism
As clouds are with the wind
As waves are with the shoreline
As lovers are with their beloveds!

Pray, living has no meaning other than fulfilling same
As life on Earth equates with death and temporality
And with the beauty of that which can be acknowledged
But which cannot be discerned!

Similarly, the soothing night air remains so comforting
With stars scattered across the cosmos
As if willing me to remember that I remain tinier
Than this particle of dust trying to soil me
So, whether I am imbibed with pain or with joy
Matters not, as faced with the skies,
I do not even exist!

In Love's Frenzy

Love's exalt fills me up
And like a blown balloon
I can't help but allow myself to fly
Soaring up high over fields and meadows
Even over mountains and seas,
Being so like a soul, having been gifted
The boon of youthful eternity!

Love, till now, had me quite mistaken
Why lovers do relish of each other
In every possible way
Be it in physical form
Or even in conversational form
And I,
Naively,
Sought out solely to fill myself up
Emotionally, as if,
I were still that pampered child
Who desired naught but good care
From all those who claimed to love me!

Why, love's arrows have been pricking me so much
That ready am I to break my rules
Pray, after all, if so desired the skies
A sinner would I be
If I heeded not to theirs and to love's demands!

Like a fruit seeking to be plucked,
Like a bird waiting to be set free
Like a slave dreaming of freedom
Like river water wishing to meet the ocean
Like a nymph desiring to be satisfied
Like a Goddess wanting to be venerated
So am I,
Yearning to lose myself in love's frenzy
As such remains my sole purpose on an Earth
Which belongs neither to me nor to Love!

Pray, the exalt of love fills me up
And like a blown balloon
I am flying over life's sceneries
Enjoying each and every facet that I am discovering!

The fireworks of Life

Say, if I choose to escape it all
And fly back to the skies
Where, everyone shall shower me with love
But, not of the type
That can be shared by you and me
Pray,
The pain and the throb would hurt still
So much that
I would once more,
Wish to run from there
To someplace where I would feel not
Where I would remember not
Where I would not be conscious
Of that deep tie which binds us both!

Why, like a Goddess enamored only by her God
Like a withered flower waking up only to water
Like a butterfly attracted solely to nectar
So am I, lost in adoration
For that essence that you are
Ever since the skies whispered to me
That you are the missing part of my soul!

The beings up there in the skies
Are as worried as I am
Should it be that we fail this ordeal
Pray, the lights of joy would be turned off there
The birds and the crickets would sing not anymore
The angels would cry continuously
And the higher powers would have their life force doused off
While the whole expanse of the skies
Would simply succumb to destruction and turned into inert matter!

Why, the meaning of each human being is well inscribed in his soul
Ours remain that of opening our heart's gates
And letting the muddy water flow out
So that new ponds sprinkle up, made of fresh water
Clear and pure enough as to allow
The God of Love himself
To dwell therein!

Why, I could have escaped it all
But out of Love for you
And for the higher powers
I am battling with demons
While hiding in dark pits
And surviving on dirty waters!

Pray, may Life itself play its fireworks
So that their sparkle does catch your gaze
And you do realize the meaning of it all!

God's Secret~~~~

Our search for God shall remain unending
We shall search for Him in the skies
We shall search for Him in the scriptures
In religious architectures,
Even in nature
Why, we shall even search for Him deep within us!

But the higher power with which He is made of
Shall keep surrounding Him in subtleness
Allowing Him to hide Himself from us
On purpose,
While seeking to test us, and our love for Him!

Pray, claim I to be one of His most obedient servants
Desire I to fulfill His wish,
As, since life on Earth holds no meaning,
By ending as it wills
And not as I will it to
Why, it becomes clear that my whole Existence
Is to be geared towards God and His game of hide and seek!

Walk I on the path that He drew for me
As Tom Thumb did,
While following only those stones that lead me
To where I am meant to be!
Walk I on my path
As Ahab did,
Bent obsessively on the growth of my enlightenment!

Pray, should I fail to honor God and His will
Why, I would consider it that I failed my purpose
And would deem myself as unworthy
As a soldier who has deserted his regiment!

My sole purpose on Earth is to fulfill my life's meaning
And that remains being able to throw away my guns,
And draw on my white flag,
The essence of Love!

Yes, Love is that secret which shall allow us to find God
As, in the very end,
He Himself is Love
And expects us to live imbibed with such!

The Will of Love

The skies boomed out their will

And I, knelt down,

Held out my heart, 

As if it were a silver tray,

Which was meant to hold this will of theirs,

As it would be carried throughout 

The river of my life

So that my soul, my pulse, my breath,

My thoughts and my whole essence

Be immersed in it to such an extent

That living rhymes and equates directly with it!

The skies boomed out their will,

And I, mere child of their cosmic mystery

Can only wear patience as my dress

While waiting for it to be acted out!

From up there do I come from

And to themselves shall I return

So much that living on Earth,

Even if laden with pleasures or with pain,

Remains such a drag!

Why, the skies have guided me on my path

Since then, my breath has been filled with expectation

As it can happen as I have never thought it would!

Pray, shall you seek me out,

Know that you shall find me in evergreen gardens

Lost in amorous contemplation for what is to be

Having, tangled all around me,

The creepers of Earthly passion,

Creepers, of which one whiff of their fragrance

Is powerful enough as to have me swirling up in clouds

In clouds which till then, have been playing mischievous games

Of hide and seek with me!

Yes, submerged I am, in between leaves and flowers

Fighting with my own patience,

The battle fought by all lovers since times immemorial

When doubtful they were, of having their love acknowledged

And returned to them!

Still, trust inhabits me, as if were a Goddess

Having been sat on a shrine in the temple of my body

The skies' will can never be forsaken

The skies' will does always be

Regardless!
