Wake Up Call....

Awake, 

 yet fast asleep, 

 in reverie, an alarm rings

 Wake up- it conveys frenziedly

 prompting my awareness 

 Lord, 

 obliterate, 

 scars of ignorance

 intrinsic to my being

 Chasten all taints with love 

 Soft breeze,

 brushes my soul

 absorbing all inertia

 divulging chunks of sparkle

 unveiling a panorama of mysticism

 Silence,

 the divine soiree

 distanced all that was tumultuous 

 by fetching an opulence of peace

 Rare occurrence, an elegant souvenir

 Bliss,

 eternal flower

 blooming with purity

 ever reigning in the halcyon

 a virgin arena of dispersed world

 I woke up

 for the first time

 from a long sloth sleep

 instilled with consciousness 

 and an invigorating aroma of substance...

Metamorphosis....

A masterpiece of God's creation, 

bestowed me with marvelous elation.

As I watch the magical process with glory,

A caterpillar turns into a pretty butterfly.

Lover of flowers, prince of garden, 

belonging to eternal spring of Edan.

Delicate lacy wings sway without noise,

Angelic swing is poise with no choice.

Effortless flight, indeed a delicious sight,

Onlooker go unblinking with colour fest, 

Butterfly sips flavour of sweet honey, 

with no hurry or worry, only moments merry. 

A butterfly’s life is short, an irreversible sort, 

yet a tiny fly taught, how to live life a lot.

A sudden vision mirrored of a livid being..

pristine truth surfaced, I am a human being. 

Compressed cocoon my domain, shadows forlorn and thick,

restless hermit as I remain, freedom of air I seek.

Metamorphosis only revolution as prognosis, I conform

Old robes shed as I form, new wings sprout what a reform!

I am on a verge of flight, with gusto I fly

and flutter like a butterfly, my dream, I comply.

God On Earth....

Upon virtues, a blessed soul is chosen on earth who stands unique for the children. Majestic crown named ‘God On Earth’ bestowed exclusively eligible for the most deserved one. Mom, you are that special one the crowned queen. No one is as perfect as you are for that great honour to carry with upmost honesty and responsibility.

Your selfless love flows like ganges towards your children throughout life nourishing and guiding them. The moment you become a mother you transformed from a mere woman to a warrior for your children. You possess the most protective shield called love. Shadows of fear can not penetrate and you make sure you are the safest bunk on earth for them. You tell them stories that are full of wisdom and your lullaby make them sleep peacefully. Your bosom is always warm and supple with love for your children and they often seek shelter and you provide that with joyful pride. Suddenly the meaning of your life changes and you started to dream for your children. You sacrifice everything for their happiness and better future. Your life and dreams revolves around your children. As every breath you take in you make sure your children grow noble, capable, wise and independent. You help to see them dream and instilled confidence to fulfill them with an assuring smile. You spend your youth and energy making them grow properly without any rest or complain.

The day came your sincere endeavor got rewarded. Time flies fast and they grew and stood tall among all as you desired. But the unloving and ungrateful children forgot everything. Your effortless effort that made them talk and walk and face the world independently. They are now beyond your old hands can reach and touch. In your old age you are left alone without any support, concern and love. Your faded sight and wrinkled skin is still eagerly looking for their loving presence and touch. Every day from dawn till dusk you pray for the well being of your children and lives on a hope that they will come to you and become their old age strength till they are alive. But your unkind children live far away looking for an old age home for you. This is how they dethrone the God on earth..

Nature’s Extravaganza.....

Sun appears after a short break

from the trapped rainy puffy clouds. 

It spreads the radiance around

by embracing day warmly.

Clouds deny escaping sky

and hovers on ephemeral height.

The affirming presence unfurls

upon the diaphanous canvas .

Rain and sunshine having a fusion

Rainbow’s passion sprinkles.

A beautiful atypical phenomenon 

displays on the lap of horizon.

Nature’s extravaganza

personify beauty artlessly

A brief amusement danced

in distanced sky..

A real bonanza

World snuggles spree of moments

and enfold the spellbound vision

in the secret fold of memories

to replay in the fiddle of leisure

and get refreshed on the lap of nature.

Life Is An Illusion...

Life is an illusion upon which we float and cling as if it is real and eternal...The moment it drops its illusion we see the truth with naked soul..The realization is an eye opener that we are the sailors on this cosmic cycles and it is vicious..Drop the desperation, attachment, greed, jealous and hatred around and within which causes sufferings to life..Illuminate the light of love and compassion within that is eternal and sail with the power of peace and spread across..let this life be real and let us rip of its illusion from it...

Life - A Paradox !

On the shore of time...

on the waves of life...

we move fast to the unknown.. 

leaving each moments behind..

memories get en-capsuled as routines...

while some remains..some fades..

without our consent..without our demand...

While we gaze back to the cheers and tears..

We feel, it slips through fingers as sand.. 

that can not remain on palm forever..

Soul Connection....

Out of seed plant grows.
Tiny bud sprouts and bloom.
Destiny weaves some bonds
As if, to conspire its role. 
The unexpected season 
twigs from life's wing
with unknown reason.
The comforting shade 
wipes traveler's weariness
midst of unforgettable
journey towards grave.
Soul is the mirror 
and reflects connection.
A common womb and matching DNA
No more a requisition.
World may label as strangers
as they are blind with eyes
Yet unbroken string are attached 

so truth beneath remains untouched.

Autumn Moon...

On the invisible screen
upon celestial wings
twilight of 'Autumn moon' 
Swings gracefully ever
wooing millions and zillions. 
At times she veils behind
the passing clouds as if 
teasing the admiring glance.
She showcases utter simpleness 
in her mysterious smile
the world has ever witnessed.
She clad in groovy glossy gown
and unveils darkness 
through cosmic milky stream.
She personifies romance
in the distance of distance
and flash her clandestine smile.
She is every poet's lover
who often drinks her charisma
and cherish her in silence.
Every onlooker is mesmerised
when the dazzling display of vision 
disrobes all illusory fantasy.
She envisages piousness 
beyond lyrical form
and shines eternally 
in perfect distinct.

Life A Canvas...

Life is a canvas
We are painters
Emotions the colours.
Brush lay on fingers
intent to express 
the undecided strokes.

Clumsy mind, 
the wind that sweeps   
every moment's breath.
Love and compassion,
Jealous and greed,
Anger and hatred
looming over life
Hues of contrast.

Midst of a reverie
remains a reality 
in ultimate disguise
without stroking any clue.
A painter is busy making 
his own painting 
to lit it on his pyre.
