The Poetry Marathon

My sticky mind

attach to all.

shed self to let go..

Where shall I go

Cannot solve the confusion,

Cannot find a way
where shall I go, where shall I go?

The darkness of my heart

Got darker and thicker
Standing, thinking and worrying

Which way to go
any breathe that comes,

Goes piercing by body and mind

Atmosphere of sadness is not passing away
nor any wish is being fulfilled
I am helpless in front of destiny
where shall I go, where shall I go?

This crazy mind of mine
Roaming around…
Between I and ME

And last night a
Faceless voice
Startle me,
I asked who are you ?
It replied “I”

Than a unfamiliar
Gust of wind asked me
The reason of my sorrow
I wrote on wet sand of desert
It is “I”

Now all the troubles have
fallen to sleep,
Someone tell me
How much longer
Must I stay awake?

Then I saw the moon
In my dreams
And the sun had risen
With first ray of dawn

Saw Sun and moon
Are both in my heart
Perhaps it is ok
For now to stay with
My “I’—the ego…

Immersing self in self
Serenity of grinding
And blending

Purifying my mind
And heart
Aroma infused within me

Immersed in that
Reaching a deep state
Of tranquility

Fall in love,
The sound of
Pouring,
You are in me,
I am in you.

Every leaf and every shrub

Knows my state

It is me who is lost

Unaware and unknown

Surrounded in this

City of love

Yet no none knows

How to heal

Cruelty, sarcasm and mockery

Are the ways of the world

Compassion, grace, loyalty

Have lost….

We Bow before the arrogant one,

Called him ˜God’

In the name of God, what does that

Insolent one know of Him

We are nothing

But corpse

But see, we live again…

That restless, listless soul

We had given up as lost

Thinking of sharp edge

Of sword as an elixir!!

My heart said some thing

Than nothing

Such things happen

No desires awakened..

I am standing in front of
The mirror
But some one else is
Standing behind the mirror

My life is hanging
In the balance of
Belief and disbelief
I am close to someone,
but I am well known to
someone else

The same old traditions
of judges and
the same wrong decisions
of the court

Just finding in middle
Of the journey
The road is leading
Some where else..

Strange shadows reside in my path
Unseen arms encircling me around
Don’t know my future
Don’t know my past
Whatever it is it is THIS moment

Heat of this moment accentuates
My heart beat

This very moment is
All lit-up,

Rest is dark

Why would I want to
Waste this moment
This is my and mine
Moment…

There is no future nor past
This is the living soul
Right here right now

Glory of this moment
Enhances the life,
As it is…NOW

Dear my heart
All this worldly fanfare is not for me
I am all alone in this festivity
I don not want to stay
where I feel restless

No one understands my pain
Every one is obsessed with self interest
There is no point sharing my grief
in an unknown place

My sad heart, listen to me
I dont want to stay
where I feel restless..

Truly yours ..

Climbing and leaping
Like a mountain goat
Leaping in joy
over distant stones

Climbing and falling
Falling and climbing
Alone, yet with
Joyful heart

Trusting my “hooves”
Right on spot
Who is afraid of
Falling anyways ?

Falling down
On a stony ground
Dignified death is
A ultimate life…
