Mischief

An empty glass filled with air,
A black button without a coat,
A room without people,
hear the silence and listen to soundless sounds,
it makes rounds and rounds and pounds,
rushes and barks like hounds,
goes down in the grounds,
vanishes around.

Surround soundless sounds,
empty clicks and blank letters,
verseless poems and no rhythms,
tuneless tunes sung in harmony,
playful games.

Specks of Confusion

Like dust on a clean screen,
clinging to the surface,
I wish I could wipe the face of surface,
clear the dust,
one must.

Like pebbles on the sea shore,
washed by waves,
forgotten by the sea,
embedded deep in the ocean,
lost forever but present.

Blink thy eyes,
rub thy mind,
clear the clutter,
nothings clear,
my dear,
nothings cloudy,
it's all in the mind and your eyes see what 'the' mind shows.

The Jewel Of the Earth

You are Twenty Nine today,
How old do you feel?
Wisdom you display is ageless,
Words you say beyond your years.

You are a jewel,
The light of our Kingdom,
In you we see the ray of sun,
Shimmering delightfully, radiating the aura to us,
In you we see a hope of tomorrow,
A hope of waking up in our Shangrila.
In you we see a guiding light,
the way out of this mandala.

Everyday the sun sets without any promise of waking up again,
But it does.
Everyday the earth spins and every year it pilgrims around the sun,
It does so, ever silently that we hardly notice.
Every moment we breathe without realizing,
But we do.
Everyday is a new day,
A day to be happy and feel alive.

You are much loved Oh King,
Your hug embraces us all,
Your smile makes us smile,
Your words make us think,
Your gestures make us do.

Happy Birthday.
Wishing you much happiness.

Half Baked Poetree

And what is a poem, I ask?
A bunch of words
shuffled to scream?
It can moan and groan if I want to,
I can peel and seal,
sing and dance with letters and words,
I can jump to space and climb on Jupiter,
No even NASA couldn't do that! But hell I can,
my quill will and on my will it shall.

I can visit heaven and hell, if there is any,
can create my own if none exists,
I can become a bird, a flower and even the sun,
I can stop the poem and dirty it,
mess it that no one finds it poetic,
I can do what I want and even if that isn't enough,
what more is there to do? I am god, on this blog atleast!

I can make love to Buddha, but he doesn't desire me,
I can take Christ off his crucifix, free him of his pain,
I can do tandav with Shiva and braid his dreds,
I can strip cotton off Milarepa and even his black magic cannot stop me,
I can dig Kerouac from his grave and make him kiss me,
I can do what I want, what can I not, tell me?

So, the power of writing shall rule the world,
as long as humans live.
Now a tiger cannot write can he?
Well a tigress can, this is her poetry!

Joke of life called iRoNy

Laugh and someone weeps,
Joke and offence sweeps,
Calm is no balm,
Psalms no one hymns,
Knock and hear no sound,
Cry and no tears drop,
Smile and lips don’t stretch,
Sound that no one hears,
Leaves that will leave,
Flowers that don’t bloom,
Seasons that doesn’t change,
Wars that don’t kill,
Love that doesn’t care,
Mockery that doesn’t mock,
Life that doesn’t live,
Laugh if you will,
Iron of irony,
Sigh and why of lives,
Hi and bye.

Sun Tone Stones of Hampi

Amidst stones and boulders lies a kingdom far far away, down south, an ancient kingdom which was the seat of the Hindu empire for more than two hundred years. This ancient Hindu kingdom was perhaps one of the best planned cities of those times and every step you step, takes you back in history resonating the energy of those times.

Come hither Spring on your Wing

A fresh spring breeze,
wafting from the seas,
gently blows away winter,
bitter winter,
the ice cracks and melts,
the trees creak with joy,
birds twitter and sing,
frogs croak o-boy,
a dog stretches lazily,
a cat yawns and sleeps,
I bite my nails,
sniff the air and scribble,
Oh spring have you arrived?
