    Existence

    Nondescript am I
    Nondescript…
    Invisible to people,
    Who don’t see me.
    Who don’t feel me.
    Who don’t know me.
    Before you, but not.
    A piece on the floor or of the floor.
    Or a fly on the wall.
    Maybe, a figment of imagination,
    Of a Writers Call!
    I exist but could equally not exist.
    I am required,
    But only as an insignificant interlude,
    To a classical masterpiece.
    I am there,
    But are you sure?
    I speak,
    Words you neither hear,
    Nor listen let alone understand.
    I shout!
    I scream!
    I cry!
    Faded in the din,
    Of an angry crowd.
    A cruel and unforgiving world
    Whose only logic
    Is the benefit of one
    But I am,
    And I matter,
    Because I exist
    Not in the way you do,
    Not because of you,
    Not for you.
    Rather inspite of you
    I exist and so I Am.
    I will!
    I do!
    Period!
    No logic!
    No questions!
    No explanations!
    Only the sheer Joy
    Of being!

    The Child


    The child sees the soul within.
    No difference whether stout or lean.
    Nor any between the rich or poor
    No caste..
    No religion..
    Nor colour of skin.
     
    The child sees only love within.
    Love unconditional from this God’s being.
    Then what does it matter,
    Where you are from?
    Or who you are?
    Or where you have been?
    A smiling face,
    A happy laugh,
    A heart that’s full,
    And arms wide open,
    Is all it wants!
     
     
    The child only sees the God within.
    The good in one,
    And the Joy within.
    The child sees no boundaries.
    All borders wear thin.
    Or Lies or half truths!!
    And sans deceit!
     
     
    Are we then to blame?
    To teach the child this “strategic game”?
    To teach about the differences!!
    About the rich and poor!
    About the caste and creed!
    Religion and region!
    About the many Gods!
    And the geographical divides!
     
     
    If only the child, we stayed,
    Who sees only the pure in one.
    The truth!
    And the soul within
    And with the purity of that soul,
    We live with…
    A boundary less border!!
    An emotional connect!!
    One God!
    One World!
    And the One within and without!
    If only….

    Love – Undefined!

    Love is ever undefined,
    All logics undermined.
    When the brain stops,
    And the heart does a flop,
    Then you know,
    You are in loves’ flow.
    And then with the mind,
    You try and bind
    But the heart has flown,
    To some foreign shore.
    And try as you might,
    To see the light.
    But love, my friend,
    Has dealt the Beckhams’ bend.
    The sun shines,
    On the cloudiest day.
    And the moon does beckon,
    On the darkest night.
    The wind does call out,
    The name so sweet.
    “You are in love!”
    “You are in love!”
    So my dear friend,
    This I say,
    Follow the heart
    And let it have it’s say.
    Cause the joy of life,
    Is this very love
    Cause love forever stays,
    Forever Undefined!!

    Ode to Good Friend

    Tis, we met but yesterday,
    And now we are Four.
    While we were just fooling around,
    This day we were sure.
    Whirlwind was the romance,
    And beautiful is this forever dance.
    Chances we took on unknown shores,
    Today is but folklore.
    Time with you has been so good.
    Blossoming every day as it should.
    And in the short time we had
    You gave us a fine bonny lad.
    Whose presence makes it all worthwhile,
    A thousand words in his mere smile.
    And your reflection in him is very clear,
    Pocket dynamite and so dear.
    Thank you, Love for the yesterday.
    Bounty that you gave to me.
    Thank you for the day, today.
    For life has found its being.
    And if the joyous journey that has been
    Is just the start of things to be
    Thank you for being with me
    My good friend, Amore!!

    Kaleidoscope

    Life is at its end
    And death at its beginning
    What once was,
    Now is not.
    What was once, but a bud.
    Now withered to give way,
    To a new day.
    And the night is now dawn;
    And dusk sets in again.
    A rejoiced life is now gone.
    And a glorious death has to but come.
    The eagle flies above,
    While its prey lies below.
    Each waiting for its fate.
    And on towards the pearly gates!
    Age has set in,
    In buildings and people
    No cosmetic surgeries
    Or new beginnings
    The heights of glory
    Now tells a sad story
    Ages bygone
    Now standing in the ruins.
    The cat strays on to the road,
    While the dog has his say.
    The caterpillar moves on,
    And becomes the butterfly
    Eaten by the owl
    Who was on the prowl
    While the humans glide on
    Merely existing on this plane
    Using and abusing
    But like all on this earth
    All waiting for the end
    For the circle to complete itself
    Each end a new beginning
    And each beginning must but end
    Joy of death and sorrow of life
    Each a must
    In this kaleidoscope called life.

    CIRCLE OF LIFE

    I have nothing.
    Yet everything is in me.
    The less I know, the more I think.
    The more I think, the more I strive.
    The more I strive, the more I do.
    The more I do, the more I learn.
    The more I learn, the more I gain.
    The more I gain, the more I am.
    The more I am, the less I know.
    Till I am not.
    Ego shattered.
    Complete In the joy of this void.
    And in this holy pyre,
    The self burns,
    And a new I is born.

    MIRACLE

     
    This is dedicated to my son written as he was coming into this world!
    ____________________________________________

    Waiting in expectation,
    37.4 weeks of gestation.

    Apprehensively ecstatic,

    For this Miraculous Magic.

     

    What will be?

    How is we?

    Reactions confused.

    Selves are bemused.

     

    The Storks have flown,

    From the world unknown.

    To this Earth they come,

    With the beat of a drum.

     

    Is it our hearts that beat,

    Or our minds that darts.

    From here to eternity,

    And back to reality.

     

    And when the visitor came through,

    A roar was heard from tree to tree.

    ‘I am’, ‘I am Here’ Just Who the hell r u???

    And so finally the King does cometh!

     

    And when the King gazed,

    And all were dazed.

    At sheer glory and with eyes wide opened,

    His subjects flattened.

     

    With the brows knitted,

    While the eyes fretted.

    Face to face

    Scanning with rapid pace.

     

    And when the feet began to move,

    Kicked everything not in groove.

    And the hands pawed at every wall.

    The Rex did not like his way stalled.

     

    Words are few.

    Yet the feelings like dew.

    Every moment a new emotion,

    Before this tiny ‘Gods creation’!!

     

    Bundle of Joy

    Or the Good Friend’s ploy

    The King is here,

    Finally my Dear!!

    Barbed Wire Fences

    Barbed wire fences
    And chains around the heart
    In the grind
    Of the circle called life
    On and on we go
    Around a meaningless show
    Where does thou stop
    One does not know
    Yet we slave on
    To be free
    Yet what defines freedom
    And what is this bond
    Or bondages unbound
    Freedom is not
    Or is Freedom a knot
    Tied to barbed wire fences
    Where we live in the luxury of nothing
    And call it freedom profound
    We are but fools
    With existences defined
    Around are the barbed wire fences
    And the joys of it abound.
