EMPEROR'S TEA

The tea pot is brewing

The flowers smile

The emperor sips!

Bliss is every sip!

Clear, calm and happy

Is his heart of enlightenment! 

As the fly shares his royal tea! 

SOMEWHERE ELSE

Somewhere else to be

Something else to keep

You crave and seek!

Constantly!

The heretic says!

 To seek is to suffer! 

So dear friend!

Let go and be free!  

ZOMBIE MIND

Puppet of passion

Dancing to delusion

Chasing desires

Fulfilling urges

Entangling, craving, falling!

Endlessly!

The zombie, seeking, mind! 

FULL FROG MOON

Still water!


Reflecting the full moon!


The frog jumps in!


Ripples breaking in circles!


Unscathed by his croaking


The silence remains!

VOYAGE OF LOVE

Come to me!

Oh my love!

The morning is new

The ways is long

The journey has just begun

Through paths unknown

Steep mountains and deep valleys

Arid deserts and dark thick forests

To destinations unknown

Together we shall tread  

Come to me! Oh my love!

Hand in hand

Hearts entwined

Come; let’s embark on this voyage of Love! 

LITTLE RAIN DROPS

Little rain drops falling

Peace and tranquility

Warmth and joy

Two hearts drenched in love! 

SUDDEN SURREAL RAIN

Sudden surreal rain

A blue, joy filled sky

You and I

Holding hands!

Drenched in the showers of love!

Hidden from the crowds

In a shade unknown

Far from the world and reality

A haven of  enchanting bliss

Love, rain and passion

All here and and now

Here in this sudden surreal rain

LOST TO THE FANGS

Had I known! Oh! Little one! 

You would end up in the tiger’s mouth

Would I have still given birth?

How I wish now!

The umbilical cord!

That connected us for nine months

 Wrung your neck even before your first breath!

Oh! My little one!

What’s in this existence!

For me to watch those ragged teeth sink in

Your crimson blood spurting out!

Your pointless life! Pointless suffering!

Just pawed off!

Oh Lord! Why did you spare me? 

WAITING BY THE BANKS

The season changes; spring comes

 Flowers fill the mountain slopes

The streams gurgle with life

The nightingale sings

The tune of love fills the air 

Sitting and waiting by the banks

Oh my dear!

My heart longs for you! 

ROTTING HEART

Your tongue is stale

Your heart is rotting

Pus drips from every pore

Wrapped up and hiding!  

Behind self- importance and gold  

Tell me dear friend

How long can you ward off the dung flies?

PARTING CLOUDS

Clouds part

The moon wanes

 Flowers wither

Abandoned in the fleeting world

No self remains! 

WORD TRAP

Chasing after words

Capturing phrases

Enticing concepts

The mind entangles!

 Truth flees!! 

YOURS IS THE CHOICE

All that you seek

Will lead to suffering!

All that you let go

Will lead to happiness

The heretic says!

Yours is the choice my friend!  

JOYFUL SMILE

Brightness shines as the new morning

Your Love  fills the limitless blue sky

In your divine smile 

Joy blossoms !

Oh! My Beloved!

How lucky am I to be alive!
