“Love”

An ethereal yet sublime vibe she exuded,
Her eyes filled with lofty dreams,
Her passion so strong that you could feel it,
Like a rhythmic movement in a stream.

She talked about a “love” not known to many,
A “love” in its purest form, a “love” without a reason,
So intense that it would stand at the verge of madness,
And yet she insisted that it could never turn into a demon.

She would say that it touches the deepest part of your soul,
That your soul senses it much before your mind sees it,
That it’s like a song that only you can hear, a tune only you can hum,
That it’s like a divine manifestation deep down in your spirit.

If you would look into her eyes, you would see the zest in her,
If you would touch her, you would sense the hope in her,
If she ever looked at you with her dreamy eyes,
You would know why deep down I believed in her…

Vicious Snake

The following poem was written for an illuminating article on jealousy written by my writer friend Nadeem. This article is in itself a masterpiece. An enlightening and thought provoking piece of writing. I would request everyone to follow the following link to read this article.

Vicious Snake

Insecurity shakes the doors of the spirit,
To a vicious snake which consumes like fire,
It brings with it a plethora of infernal thoughts,
Which start manifesting in the spirit’s desire.

Suspicion, mistrust and hatred come along,
With the intrusion of this vicious foe,
This destructive energy rips apart the spirit,
Disrupting its harmonious energy flow.

This vicious snake poisons the mind,
Tying it into chains of guilt and rage,
It enslaves the spirit with a negative energy,
Trapping it in a virtual annihilating cage.

It extends its grip to damage the aura around,
Transforming into conflicts, revenge and disputes,
Overpowering a man’s rational thinking,
It allows the vicious snake to succeed in its pursuits.

Yet this vicious snake can be controlled,
Tamed and transformed in zeal to aspire,
Rather than allowing it to convert into envy,
It can be reshaped into a constructive desire.

A few lines from my poem “Streets of Silence”

“………………………………………………………..
It is indeed not the overt material journey of life,
but this spiritual journey deep within our soul,
that gives a concrete meaning to our existence,
so let your soul wander freely within, do not control.
…………………………………………………………….”

A few lines from my poem “Streets of Silence”. The poem describes the eternal peace and silence one experiences when he/she reaches a higher state of consciousness. It urges to uplift the soul, to feel the eternal beauty and bliss of nature and to experience, discover and explore these streets of silence.

A few lines from my poem “My Death”

“….I am not lost or perplexed,
I am completely extricated,
No longer are these worldly complexities,
To me in any way related….”

The Poem talks about the spiritual journey of a man who wants to attain salvation, who has elevated his soul to a state where “worldly” and “material” things no longer relate to him. Now he is moving towards his ultimate goal of uniting his soul with the universal energy. He doesn’t fear death but wants to embrace it when it comes, uplifting his soul to a higher state. He understands and accepts the ultimate truth of constant “transformation” which every man is bound to face both during his life and even after that.

Eternal Union

Eternal Union

After my mortal material being,
dissolved in this earth,
my invincible eternal soul arose,
leading to my spiritual rebirth

I live on a different plane now,
i don’t see the religion defined ‘GOD’,
yet people continue to fight below,
few have views which are broad,

i am moving closer to self realization,
towards that energy, that force,
i ponder whether i will be reborn,
or will i be absorbed in this life source,

as i move closer, my doubts are cleared,
i am now aware of my previous manifestations,
my previous material birth reminds me,
of some unfulfilled desires and expectations,

yet now i find that I am free of them,
i only search for my soul mate,
who has shared her life with me,
in all my births, in each and every state

I can feel the energy she exudes,
my union with her ignites a fiery fire,
my soul is no longer incomplete,
there is no unfulfilled, unattained desire

we embark on a new journey now,
we just traverse in this timeless space,
unbound, free, eternal, immortal,
no more manifestations we embrace

Beautiful Love

This coming year lets take a vow,
that we’ll spread our love all around,
lets heal with our loving touch,
let not anyone fall to the ground
lets hold everyone in our warm embrace,
lets once again start,
a new journey with this sunshine,
a journey which connects all hearts
lets try to rise above our ego,
lets try to understand,
that man is the epitome of love,
lets lend our helping hand,
there is inside us a faint light,
let us ignite it tonight,
let this vibrant light shine within each one,
lets make this world bright,
lets make ourselves better human beings,
lets spread this lovely feeling,
lets hold each others hands,
lets feel this process of healing.

Time

Time

Time has no limit,
do we know where it ends?
Today a new one breathes,
and his new life begins,
but some where else someone fights,
to live, to breathe, to survive,
but finally he loses, he dies,
his soul now wanders in the universe,
to come back he may or may not averse,
But the transformation of time,
he cannot escape,
time gives us new shapes,
we exist as humans on earth,
we traverse as souls,
we stay as memories in hearts,
and one day we again start,
in the form of a new life we begin,
this time, finite or infinite,
we only know the days and nights,
its only the transformation,
that i can understand,
yet there are different notions,
of this thing called time.

Life inside me..

Life inside me..

There is a life inside me,
i can feel you growing,
through my eyes you see,
every movement you make i feel,
you’re a part of me,
in sometime you’ll be a different entity,
but there will be a bond between you and me,
the strings of our heart will always be attached,
for this love is beyond these worldly affairs,
in sometime you’ll grow up,
you’ll probably be taller than me,
but i’ll still love you the same,
for you’ll always be a part of me.

Taoism says..

Chapter 11, Tao-Te-Ching

A. A wheel is made of thirty perceptible spokes but it turns due to the imperceptible central axis of the hub.
B. Vessels are made of perceptible clay, but it is their imperceptible hollow that is useful.
C. The imperceptible holes that make the doors and windows of a house are its essentials.
D. It is the imperceptible that produces effects and results.

Lao Tzu says it is not the perceptible or the things that can be seen that make a being, but the imperceptible (hollow, void, hole) that cannot be seen that makes the being. He gives the example of the perceptible wheel which has spokes but turns due to its imperceptible central axis, he gives the example of vessels which are made up of perceptible clay but are useful due to their imperceptible hollow. What Taoism wants to put across is that its not the perceptible body of the man but it is the imperceptible soul, feelings and thoughts that make a man who he is. Thats why suffering of the imperceptible is more painful than suffering of the perceptible that is emotional and mental suffering is more painful than physical suffering.
One should realize that there is an immortal soul, your feelings and your thoughts that make you who you are. Pass down your thoughts and whatever you learn from life, for your mortal body may die but your thoughts will remain alive in this world.
