EYES OF COMPASSION


Along the dingy crowded corridors

Filled with  fear, agony and frustration! 

A thousand pairs of eyes

Look around in desperation! 

A young man limps!

A mother weeps!

An old man in bed

Cringes and curls up in morbid pain! 

Shrouded in white

Someone’s!

Once a body full of life

Gets wheeled away!

As i walk this path everyday

Sipping my morning coffee

Oh! Lord! Benevolent and merciful


Bless me with loving eyes of compassion! 

WASTING WORDS


Time is running out



Life is ebbing away



A lifetime lost in hurry



In this race towards death



The heretic says!  




Why waste words! 

EMPEROR OF MALADY


Through the open window of the senses


The thief of desire sneaks in!


What he sees!


Is what he takes !


But if you do let him stay


Even for a careless night


Claiming the distracted throne


He crowns himself Emperor!



Alas; the malady begins!  



MISSING YOU!


It’s not the sweetness of your voice



It’s not the gentleness of your smile



Nor is it the silence of your soul



It none of these! I know!



Yet! Tell me dear Beloved




Why is it still that i miss You? 

OOLONG TEA


Golden and clear




Smoky on the palate




And smooth on the spirit




Oh! How splendid indeed





This sip of oolong tea! 
















THE WORD MIND


Words!  Words!  Words!





Entangled in them





And endlessly suffering





The word - mind! 

LAST FUMES


The window is wide open




A gentle breeze eases in




A flickering candle




On the verge of extinction




I enjoy my last fumes! 

GARDEN OF LOVE

Thunder clouds may gather



Rain and hail my lash down



But in this garden



Protected by the glass of Love




The flowers always bloom!  

EVERGREEN CACTUS


The pond is dry


The soil is parched


The trees are barren


The dry grass lies withered


Unfettered by the scorching summer


Evergreen and bright!



The cactus remains! 

BATTLE OVER YOUR NAME


Darkness fills our days



There is dust and smoke everywhere



There is no light in the sky



With smell of freshly let blood



Fear fills the air!  



Oh Lord! Benevolent and merciful!




Don’t leave us to battle over your name!  

EYE TO EYE



You and I!




Eye to eye!




Time stands still





The world collapses!
