I Dreamt Of Yoking A Blemishless Horse Of Truth.
i dreamt of yoking a blemishless horse of truth.
&
at the threshold of my budding youth
i dreamt of yoking a blemishless horse of truth
to the chariot of my life on its journey through time
to adorn a life of divine bliss in its purest aspect
but, alas! the valiant steed of 'truth' failed miserably
even to pull a few meters on its labyrinthine ways
and my chariot got stuck in the slush of suspicion
the music of joy gave way to whines of anger-

Nothing on Earth to write in my will, my Son!
O my Son!
The wide expanses of the Skies
I have earmarked in my will-
'Only Yours'.
The sparkling diamonds
Sprayed thick in the Nightly Heavens
I asserted ' Yours '
With all my heart.
The unbridled herds of Clouds
Grazing the limitless Blue
To whom but you
Would i bequeath?
The glittering lavas of gold and silver
Billowing out of the mines
Of the marvellous Sun-
' Surely Yours '.

One wave, far-off questions..!
One wave, far off, questions
That gliding all the way smoothly
Does fall feebly in my ears;
For which a wave closer to me
On its approach to the shore answers!
Next question now is born ahead of me;
A fainter reply it fetches in its wake.
Eternal Doubts and Eternal Queries
Perennial patient Answers!
Queries are born near the shores;
Queries beget replies at the shores
Yet the distance serene and speechless
As a cute child to its parent
A volley of questions-silly or wise-
These baby waves to the mature ones
Endlessly shoot and tirelessly listen!
Wiser I grow amidst this august assembly

I Am Curious And Anxious..!
I am curious and anxious -
Milling around
For long hours
Impatiently the pious await
The painful creak of
Heavy large doors
Of ' Vaikunda Vaasal '! -
Squeeze and sweat through
In mad rushes and pushes
The skirting tunnel
Narrow and dark
Inside the temple!
O..is all the hurry and frenzy
To gain access to heaven
In flesh and blood?
O..wearisome lot!

As simple as Full Moon.!
God!
Grant this prayer.
Let me receive in true humility
accolades for talents
the world deems I really possess -
Let no pride gain to my top
and key my head
to uncontrollable spins-
Let me ever respect my elders
through pleasing virtues
and mild manners-
Let my heart and tongue
fine-tune to truth
when speech blossoms on lips-
Let me ever remain grateful to everyone

Darling Dear.. Taste The Honey Drops!
Darling dear!
Taste the honey drops
and feel me thereafter-
ask your senses,
' which is sweeter more? '
' Oh..sweeter more is my feel of you! '
Roll on silky cushions
and touch my body thereafter-
ask your fingers,
' which is softer more? '
' Hey..softer more is your body sure! '
Taste the three kings of fruits
then taste my fruity lips-
ask your lips,
' which is tastier more? '

But Bless Me Peace..!
The crystalline peace
speechlessly settling
on soft padded feet -
The bliss of solitude
of a caressing breeze-
The soulful songs of hiding birds
enhancing the magic
of the melting dusk-
The distant call of a devotional bell
lifting the soul
to the feet of god-
All that I deeply inhale
under the grand canopy of heaven
at this precise moment-
Would I experience

How Many Deviations In A Life's Journey
how many deviations a life's journey takes on on its onward march,
attracted to all and sundry sweet things, like bees, on its way-
a hop here, a bite there, a suck elsewhere, and a flight to something else;
quite puzzled to select its haunt, it reels in pain of defeat and non-achievement;
the dabbling continues unabated till the day dawns of its sudden enlightenment -
when, realising its potential in a specific field, decides to desert the others,
of course with a heavy heart, hardening its resolve to pursue in only one field!
it surprises life why so much haggling so long on a simple problem!
now this road is lit with surprises of successes gladdening the life!
that is how i landed on poetry from painting and other diverting passions.

Crowde By Thousands Of Forms Of Gods
crowded by thousands of forms of gods,
each hovering over my head in mad circles,
yes, i have lost my meditation and devotion;
my lips cry for a god
and my heart seeks another
and my intellect runs after another;
i am at a loss to determine which of this pantheon
may rush for my help in my hour of distress;
confusion stirs me to stupidity and turbidity-
i politely send them all away

I Exist Amidst A Thick Overgrowth Of Luxury
i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury
&
i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury
and a dense undergrowth of affluence-
i can touch, feel and gape in wonder
but i have no rights at all to enjoyment-
yes, i am a slave girl born to toil and clean;
showered in abuses and punishment
