Heaven and Earth

Once upon a time
There were 2 peacocks 
They lived happily in Heaven 
The Heaven existed in their mind
And they weren’t really peacocks
But the joy they felt
When together
Made them looks so
So Vibrant , so magnetically attractive
They were aware of this attraction
But unaware of .. Why ?
They communicated thru their hearts
And thru their eyes
Just being together
Was enough to have such bright feathers 
They dance and sang all day
and Rejoiced the Life 
They played and ate
They lived in paradise 
But for that
They needed the wings to fly
They needed the infinite imagination 
And unmatched Love for each other
That Love was the air
Under the wings of their imagination 
They were able to create 
Any thing they wanted 
But for that Magic to work
They needed each other
Then appeared a crack 
That crack shattered the magic 
And Imagination got wounded
The wings lost the feathers
And they both fell down
From Heaven
Now they live on earth
They wear the sorrows
And wait for tomorrows

Have Some Mercy

It approaches
With the thumping
Of its Tenacious feet
My heart terrified
More like mummified
The pain
agonizing
cracks appearing
In the middle of my eye
Releasing the tears
One at a time

shattering my being
Piercing the heart
Making a hole in my soul
knot
Around my neck
leave me hanging
With that tagger
stuck in my heart
Dripping blood
Mixed with my tears
Falling on the ground
causing panic
In every dirt particle

Divine Tree

As the divine nectar of wisdom

Falls like raindrops

On the fertile surface of heart

It helps grow the words,

Which make luminous sentences,

Enlightening readers hearts

Then comes a time,

When those words grow up

Tall shady trees,

Producing divine sweet fruit,

In silence , meditating

Composing just few concentrated words

Filled with secret knowledge ….

Hidden meanings

Just a tree,

Standing tall

Silently praising the Lord,

Providing shade and comfort

To who ever comes sits under .

Lets Be Doves For A Day

 

 

Just for a day
In the month of May
Lets fly away
Like doves in play
Me and you
Spending the day
Sitting on a flowers stem
Singing and swaying
Living a life of freedom
Riding the hearts joy

Recipe Of Life

 In a big Bowl of Breaths
Pour hand full of days
Few table spoons of Joy
And a pinch of sorrow
Mix them all well
Then pour a cup of drama
On baking sheet of struggle
And Cook until Hope last
 
And don’t forget to Enjoy

Symphony Of Creation

Playing in my heart
A song of birds
Tunes of ocean
Humming of winds
Drums played by thunder
Dancing heartbeat
Moving to the rhythm
Rhythm of breathing
Stage decorated by stars
And curtains of blue sky
An orchestra
Conducted by Life

BEYOND THE EDGE OF TIME

 

 
Sitting at the edge of the time
With my legs hanging down
Looking ahead
I see the time ending
And stillness starting

In this stillness
I see time resting,
In the lap of eternity

I see every thing colored
Colored and touched
By the love

Beings walking
Some flying
More like floating
Little above the ground

Each smiling
And glowing
In that shawl of bliss
They are wearing

I want to jump over
From the edge of the time
Then I hear a voice
Saying “ No, It’s not your time”
So I stand up, turn around
And I wake myself up from sleep
Its time to get up
And start a new day

Me And My Mind

 

 
I am hungry
 For Ideas
 Ideas that will help me
 break the walls of prison
 Prison of my mind
 Ideas to elevate me
 elate me, entertain me
 I am looking for
 Salvation, liberation
 sensation of divine relation
 I am addicted to
 Vibration of your voice
 Sweetness of your words
 Leading to flotation
 Above mind’s concentration
 Taking me to land of illusion
 Where I can see
 The true face of creation
 I came to earth
 To praise 
To recognize
 To be ONE with
 LOVE
But for that I first need to
 Cross the boundary of my Mind
 To enter the domain of Love 
I need to stretch it
 Make it grow
 To have the wings
 That will fly me to heaven
 Where Love resides
