To Some Greed Is The Blood.
Alas! there are some
To whom the eyes are waste,
To some the tongue a viper,
To some limbs a vice!
O God! why such cruel creations?
Why in so many the heart is absent
And greed is the blood?

O What A Noise Of Word-Hooves!
Behind the backdropp of
frozen silence of faces-
O what a noise of
the stamps of word-hooves!
I and the I within me
sitting face to face
in undying uproars-
O what a noise of
the stamps of word-hooves!

Mind! ... The Mysterious!
The Mind is a perennial river
Ever in foaming floods,
Night and day
Rolling and tumbling thoughts
From nowhere
On fast currents
Along its NOISELESS way-
You will lose every fish
If not alert with your net!

A Small Lamp is Enough!
Let there only be a small earthen lamp lit in me!
There need be no white-washing brightness
My soul is put out by the brilliance;
And the ghosts of my lifeless body go berserk!
A small divine lamp is enough for me!

Beauty Cannot Be Tested
beauty cannot be tested
nor could be enhanced
it is born simple and genuine
no ramp does it demand
it just attracts like a blossom
it keeps one's thoughts hovering over it
it is no vulgarity but divine fragrance.

When My Heart Deeply Pines For You..
when my heart deeply pines for you
o my dear, why all the birds
that chirp and coo and in graceful flights
seem to carry a message from you
but cruelly not dropp it onto my longing heart?

Make A Good Recipe Of Your Ego...!
you can ever be happy
if you could make a good recipe of
your kingly ego striding with straight vision
and serve it at the dinner table
of your near and dear
and to all who matter most to you!

Why Defy Nature's Laws?
Distant objects appear small;
Viewed in proximity
In size manifold increase.
Man, you alone
Fills my heart with awe
From afar!
Lo! abruptly shrink
And smell foul
In your nearness!
Why defy
You alone
Nature's laws?

Again and Again I err!
Again and again
I err to regret -
Again and again
Resolve not to!
Devise fool-proof barricades
To fence off stealthy errors-
Yet very next moment
Wallow in deeper mess!
O.. where are my fortresses?
And winkless vigils?

Shout Into My Ears ' I Love You
o universe in your sweet whirls
shout into my ears 'i love you! '
my eyes are small
can't hold you in full measure -
yours too large to take note of me
but shout into my heart
' i love you! ' as i do.
