~The Gift of Joy… ~ 

☆

When you spread the joy,

it comes back to you,

A shared smile, plays a

 heart’s  melody  true…

 *

 In making others happy, you

reap a bliss of your own,

A sense of immense joy and

fulfillment, forever sewn…

* 

Kindness begets kindness,

while love begets love,

A chain reaction, sent from

the  heavens  above…

 *

So  let’s spread our latent

happiness, far and wide,

Having our own joy multiply

with  divine  bliss, inside..!

~ Venomosity… ~ 

(Here’s an attempt to analyse the venomous nature of humans and snakes.The poem explores the human’s artificial facade and the snake’s natural behaviour. The ‘human-snakes’ don multiple layered masks, hiding behind the mastery of deception, having a much more lethal bite…!)

☆

I’ve witnessed many a serpents

sloughing their skin,

Yet humans, donning faces,

prove more deadly within
*
But the conundrum remains

as to who’s more venomous?
*
The human-snakes wearing

multiple layered masks,

Or a wild snake, living in jungle,

playing its role of nature’s tasks!

~ Your Smile… ~ 

☆

Your sweet thought, a boundless sea,

Overflows with great joy, wild & free

*

Spreading joy without your consent

A radiant gift, beyond cosmic present

*

Your radiant smile, a bliss in my heart,

Exceeds all the limits, never to depart

*

With generous warmth, it overflows,

A precious gift, as love forever grows…

~ Peak Realisation… ~ 

☆

In the  majestic  mountain’s  

towering height,

I found my form diminishing

Into  a  faint  sight

 *

 Looking back, tiny dots, like

pygmies, did stray,

The travelers I had left behind,

were fading away

* 

My mind, which was swollen

with conceit & pride,

But when encountered the peaks,

my false vanity died

 *

Inward and outward, mused

boundaries did cease,

A union formed, where my inner

essence did release

 *

If it was not for the humility,

what lesson did I learn?

If it was not for self-conquest,

what message did I earn?

 *

Beneath the mountains’ shadow,

and the endless sky above,

My  heart  felt  infinitely  small,

yet I rose in universal love

 *

Now, my  stature  scales  the

lofty   peaks  so  high,

In  harmony  with  nature,

I touch  the  azure sky…

~ Hollow Excuses… ~ 

☆

Mesmerizing excuses made, as a guise

You left, with hollow words in disguise

 *

Distances grew, a chasm wide and high

Memories of you, that refuse to die

 *

Those tears, woven in a shroud of pain

A heart, trying to heal itself but in vain

 *

Scars left in heart, a treasure to care

Forged in fire of parting, a legacy rare

 *

In a desolate land, I wander, lost & cold

Your memories, a catchy tale to be told

 *

Yet, in solitude, I hold on to what’s left

A heart, once full, now echoes, bereft

~ The Cremator… ~ 

  ☆

 Composed mind, unshaken hands

with calming glance

Witnessing life’s gory scenes

and  cremation’s  dance

* 

 Cremating corpses, scattered bones

and flesh decays,

Yet  they  stand  unfazed, with

an equanimous gaze

*

Lamenting strangers surround,

yet they’re like kin,

Their hearts untouched and

souls unperturbed within

 *

Homeward  bound, they shed

their  solemn  guise,

And join  life’s  revelry, with

joyous, grinning  eyes

 *

 Fists clenched tight, we arrive

with hope and fear,

Empty-handed, we depart,

when death draws near

* 

They’ve seen it all, the birth,

the  death, the  strife

Yet in stillness, they manifest

liberation of the life..!

~ Cycles of Life… ~ 

☆

I cupped my hands with

the water’s gentle flow,

And tossed the droplets high,

towards the skies’ soft glow

 *

They knew fated course,

to their destined shore,

And back to the river,

they flowed once more

*

I flung the seed grains

towards the heaven’s gate,

Aware of the earth below,

only has their hebetic fate

* 

They fell onto the ground,

with a gentle mild sound,

And in the fertile soil,

their roots grew abound

 *

Man takes to the skies,

with pride and might,

In fleeting glory, his spirit

takes a soaring flight

 *

When will you return,

O’ mortal mankind..?

To the depths of your heart,

where soul and love bind

~ Wily Soulful Life… ~ 

☆

O’ indomitable mind, thou art a turbulent sea,

How  oft  thy  waves  of  passion  tumult  me

 *

Like trees that seem  to dance, in a  wily guise,

Thy tricksy whispers shape my troubled sighs

 *

The  earth, in  cosmos  of might, doth  spin,

Yet  in  thy  chambers,  stillness lies within

 *

Elation  and  grief, a fleeting,  mystic pair,

Born of thy whims, beyond the mortal care

 *

O’ perennial  noble  soul, a  steadfast  star,

Always untouched by life’s fierce, wild war

 *

Thy joyous reactions,  a  labyrinth to resign,

A path to wisdom & gumption, I must design

 *

O’ life, how thy mastery I must seek to gain,

To rule thy tempests, and thy calm maintain

 *

For in thy stillness, truth doth shine so bright,

And in that light, my soul takes endless flight
