THE CANDLE

The candle
will soon
be burnt out
but there’s
no need
to moon
the wax
will be
recycled
and another
candle
born soon

THE PARTY’S NEVER OVER

The party’s never over
The party is my life
Just as I am the life
of the party forever.
The party is forever
so sit back and enjoy life;
even when it’s over.
So when it’s time
to leave the party
and you don’t want to do so;
don’t you cry, baby
for you have another place to go.
A place so cool and calm
where you can party on and on
so remember my baby;
when its time to leave the party
you don’t have to cry..
for the party will continue
wherever you may go



I've reached the last stages of partying and while fellow revelers may seem upset, I can only tell them that "The Party's Never Over"

MORE THAN JUST SEX

There was more
than just sex
involved
in our creation.
The primary
ingredient
of what
we are
was created
with love
and divine

dedication

THORNY THOUGHTS

When we
are pricked
by a thorn
We are
prone to say
a thorn
pricked us
But not many
of us
say we
stepped on
the thorn
For we
tend to
blame
the thorn
more
than
ourselves
for
pricking us
rather than
being pricked


WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

We are all at all levels connected
For if we weren't so united
we wouldn't in this world be tested;
yes, we are souls that knew each other
from the beginning of  time till eternity;
we played, danced  and sang in unity
or fought, shot and killed in vanity;
but yet we are all so connected
for otherwise we wouldn't be related
and in this world serve time: together arrested
thus forced to interact and thereby  tested
Yes, we are all certainly connected
And will all be always together
And happily remain together undefeated

THE HIDDEN TRUTH

Truth is hidden
Hidden in nothing
nothing but the nothingness of the mind
mind is nothing when shed of thoughts
thoughts that vanish into bliss
bliss that ensures nothing is amiss
amiss is the mind full of thoughts
thoughts mask and hide the truth
truth is subtly hidden
hidden subtly in nothing
nothing but an empty mind
mind which you then can't find

EVERYTHING WITHIN

We have pure, sweet and fresh milk
within our hands so rough and tender
But don’t know; for it is always our ilk
Not to know how with it to make butter
We have the fastest instantaneous connectivity
that goes beyond the galactic world wide web within
But we continue to depend upon Google outside
to find what we need; everything including a pin.
We have everything we need to be permanently happy
everything that can bring pure joy and happiness
but we get irritated when we have to change a nappy
while we can go within to gain sheer joyfulness.
We have the divine perfection within us
but dirty ourselves with imperfections thus


AESTHETICS OF ANATOMICAL DESIGN

The anatomy of the human body
is indeed a masterpiece of God’s creation;
Nothing about it is ever shoddy
for it has been sculpted to perfection.
Each and every limb is a perfect fit;
Every appendage and section built
with care and designed to fulfill its bit
with functionality and grace inbuilt.
Such is the human anatomy
Its design and its purpose
That it has gained such autonomy
and perfection of its organic corpus.
No better engineering can be carried out
to improve upon its performance
for each organ and limb that sprout
cannot by exchange be made to enhance.
Imagine a body with a head at its bottom
and a bottom resting in place of the head;
this will certainly appear as a dried up blossom
for indeed I would prefer to be dead
than found to be eating with my bottom
or caught to be sitting on my head.
and life then will turn so rotten.
Indeed the anatomy of the human body
Is a masterpiece of God’s creation;
Nothing about it is ever shoddy
it certainly has been sculpted to perfection.

ALL A MATTER OF PERCEPTION

I held up my forefinger
right in front of me
and asked those around the finger
what they did of my finger see?
The guy in front of me
said he saw the nail on my finger
while I could only see
the flesh behind the nail.
The guy to my left
said he saw half a nail
and half flesh with the nail
being to his left.
The guy opposite to him
who was to my right
also said he saw
half a nail and half flesh
but the nail part of my finger
was to his right unlike the other
who was opposite to him
and had said it was to his left.
It only reminded me
of the story of the five blind men
describing an elephant
for all their views
were of just a single dimension
and I realized it was
all a matter of perception
for no one saw my finger properly
or could describe it
in all its entirety

ON ECSTASY

Normally
ecstasy is
of two kinds.....
One is
the ecstasy
of the flesh
and the other
is the ecstasy
of the soul.
While the later
is bliss
to be
experienced;
the first one
will devour us

whole.....

WE ARE THE WORD - VERSION I

We are the Word
The Word
That was in the beginning
the Word
that is complete by our breathing
The Word
that will be in the end
the Word
that will never bend
the Word
that is hidden by illusions
the Word
that bears all persecutions
the Word
that has seven letters within
the Word
with pathways within
the Word
that can conquer all
the Word
that supports when we fall
the Word
that is sought by Saints
the Word
that the truth paints
the Word
that is the human temple
the Word
that makes us humble
the Word
that is alluded to in all religions
the Word
that is beyond all regions
the Word
that is the Creator
the Word
that is the Protector
the Word
that is the Destroyer
the Word
that is the Father
the Word
that is the Mother
the Word
that is the Teacher
the Word
that is the Preacher
the Word
that is life
and the Word
that lives forever....

We are the Word,
my friend
and together
we will never end


I can go on and on narrating the attributes of the Divine Word..

DISSOLVING INTO BRIGHTNESS

Like a candle
burning bright
before it
finally flutters
and completely dies
So too, the mind
churns out
bright thoughts
before it
completely dissolves
into a state
of thoughtless calm
and the bliss
of peace;
but while
the candle
dies into darkness
the mind
dissolves
into radiant brightness
