A MOMENT'S GLANCE


A moment’s glance can embrace me for eternity




A second’s smile can brighten my evermore




Your musical voice still lingers and weaves me as poetry




Your sparkling eyes still keeps the flame of my life simmering




Your mystical presence engulfs my entire existence




Oh beloved of mine!  Make me mindful of you!

BANQUET FOR THE SOUL


Begging at a banquet



Daily bread, can you choose?



A madman in heaven!



To insanity you lose?



Sailing on drift wood



A free will  cruise?



A Soul for the lifeless



Oh what good, is its use!

SPLENDID FACE


Is it in your hidden face, the perfection, I have always been looking for?



Is it in your intoxicating eyes; that I loose myself completely?



Is it in your sweet voice, when the music fills my soul?



Is it your in heavenly fragrance,  the garden of my life is 
enlightened?



Is it in your sublime smile, when the curtain for my happiness is finally raised?



Is it in your everlasting love, when the fountain of my heart overflows endlessly?



Oh beloved one! Give me a glimpse of your splendid face! 



THE OARLESS RAFT


Sailing the sea of confusion


With the oarless raft of the mind!


How long will you wander seeking?


The path that, you will never find


You splash around in foamy pleasure


Though it gets you no where


You stack away, your precious treasures


When you can take them  no where


You dive to the depths of hatred


And wonder why you drown


You shut your eyes to wisdom


And wonder why you’re blind


Oh wandering oar less raft of the mind!


Set free your sail of compassion


When the winds of chaos come around


When the wave of suffering topples you


What anchor will you find!

LAZY LIZARD ON THE TEMPLE WALL


Oh lazy lizard on the temple wall! 


What makes you grip and not fall?


Is it faith that moved the mighty mountains, that holds you?


Does the gravity of desire, fool you?


You scaled the wondrous wall to worthy heights


But creep back to cracks and corners, when not in sight


With valor and stealth,  you stalk your flying prey


But to the lord of the flies must they pray?


With ritualistic precision you lash your faithful tail


Yet, with the mere shadow of fear, you drop it off your trail


You strut around with pride, and hum a chesty tune


 Unaware that, dusk follows the dawn of  good fortune


Don’t you  know oh lazy lizard !


That you own not the wall,  that you proudly crawl!


Sooner or later, it could be your turn to fall!


So, when water washes away your footprints from the temple wall!


Oh, lazy lizard! What will you grip to, when you slip and fall?

THE EYE OF EMPATHY


Hats and robes you may wear

 
But in your heart, do you care? 


For mindless deeds that often hurt


Thoughtless words that you do blurt


Of  innocent minds that you subtly bleed


An extra morsel kept away, in hidden greed


But don’t you see my noble friend


That your life too, will one day end

  
The subtle things that you do today


Will be done to you, another day


The ones you despise with scornful glances


Could just be you,  in another set of circumstances


So open your eyes to the world of love and empathy 


See the threatened man hiding,  behind some pompous  name


See his human heart bleeding, beyond his  glory, shame and fame


 Deeper to your skin,  my noble friend; aren't  we all just the same !


Mere shadows playing,  to the dance of the same sacred flame 


The world is vast and wide; yet from death,  no one can hide


So, you too my noble friend, will not last for eternity


But happy you shall live and happy you shall die


With the compassionate eyes of  love and empathy!

COME TO ME


Come to me!  Oh  love of my heart! 


Our long awaited moment,  has finally come !


Our weary eyes  finally meet,  after a life time of separation


Our searching souls , wounded by apparent demise, have finally become one ! 


As I surrender my existence to the heavenly warmth of your everlasting love


My every breath fills with your magnificence


My mortal heart beat, resonates with your wondrous beauty


 As the beauty  your splendid smile  brightens the ambience of my shattered life


Oh love of  my heart ! Let  this sacred union of ours last forever !

THE THREE DOORS OF LIBERATION


Oh lost and lonely soul; wandering the mind’s deluded maze  

Don’t you ever want to break free?

Do you try to; but fall back

Fall back into the pit of carnal perseveration !

Don’t your self crafted keys of stealth and passion

Lead not to eternal liberation?

Listen then thou ; oh lost soul; to this ancient wisdom

Let the music of love play, and the bell of reason ring

As you step towards the three doors of liberation



The first door to liberation; Emptiness

Step in if you please  

Where everything is connected; everything’s a blend

Everything is composite; and it all comes to end

Nothing is inherent; and no object has essence

Where ego is delusional, and self, a mere pretence

 Thus is the eternal door of Emptiness

The first door to liberation



The second door to liberation; Signlessness

Step in if you please
 
Formless is the object; but to reality it’s blind  

Boundaries and borders, drawn up by the viewing mind

For, there is no separate existence

And there is no separate entity

Words and labels seem to point ;  but the truth is devoid of self identity

Thus is the eternal door of  signlessness

The second  door to liberation



The third door to liberation ; aimlessness
  
Walk in if you please

There is no purpose ; other that the present moment

No craving, no longing, no anxiety to torment

No wishing , no compulsion ; no pressure to do

Live the moment, and feel its true

Thus is the eternal door of aimlessness

The third door to liberation



Oh lost and lonely soul of the mind

Step through the three doors of liberation

With keys of reason and  eyes of compassion

With emptiness, signlessness and aimlessness

Wake up! Wake up to the awakened one !
