Elemental.Ethereal.Forever.

The sunshine kisses the sunflower's pout
Tickles away the lotus's childlike sulk
Cajoling the moon to take the other side
Hiding the stars in its garb
Hark! the waters and icy-capes say
Beginning to thaw to its fiery romance

Shhh goes the wind's gentle lullaby
'Iam here' it says to the trees
To share and grieve and playfully fight
Becomes a whole with the waters
its song making them calm and gentle
tucking them in its warm bosom

As I behold the dancing waves, 'ts captured
Vignettes of a perennially youthful fountain
Fully pregnant from before all time
Refusing to let its children out of its womb
Its alchemy with sun feeding the silver cord
Its chemistry with wind a whiff of life

The Earth showeth a new bride's glow
Its heart beating with swelling love
Its children playing and all winning!
Singing for each other mellifluously

The sky adorns itself with pearls
Drapes itself with russets, yellows and silky oranges
Towering from the heavens to the below under
Gracefully embracing earth with its open arms

The violet heavens, Indigo plumes, Blue skies
Green surround, yellow Earth, Orange crust, Red Heart
7 worlds, 7 colors, 5 elements and their eternity
An eternal enjoyer their overseer

Finishing the puzzle

We come here as a seemingly blank paper. From then on, whatever situations we are in or the people we meet are already ordained, as it were, by our previous actions. This is so to help us finish the unfinished business. Of course we end up doing several new things and the cycle begins all over again. Infinite loop, no? Getting back to where I was, we meet only select people in our lifetime and none else. Rest of the people on the planet don't matter. So everyone has this circles and loops in which they are constantly adding and subtracting people from. Everyone we meet is part of the puzzle, fitting in at correct time and place on the jigsaw of our life. Each person is a clue, sent for a specific purpose. No crossing of paths an accident, no acquaintance an accident. Few we leave on the dusty roads and by-lanes, few meant for casual stroll in the park and a few meant to walk along till the end. We also roam places where we have unfinished business, as it were. Understand: even simple, routine tasks have a deep significance-we just ignore them and continue to live in abstraction. You eat food prepared by your mom/wife your entire life-for every moment your soul was appeased, you owe it to them...you owe it to the farmer who has satisfied your hunger pangs. While enjoying the beauty of nature..you owe it to the butterfly, to the birds scattering the pollen.While dressing, you owe it to the weavers and the silk worms. While wearing those shoes, you owe it to the tanner, the animal whose hide went into its preparation, and of course the sin involved in torturing the animal for its skin. While you go through deeply disturbing times, you owe it to the musician who has provided you comfort through his/her music.
Throughout life, you meet few people but there are people you haven't even met who are helping you every moment of your life..someone somewhere had do build that road, make those shoes, reap that harvest, grow those tea leaves and coffee beans, make those handsets, make that technology you are using,make that movie you enjoy.. Thus goes on life on the planet, through complex interactions at every level...sustaining itself through the give and take of actions...
It goes without saying you have to be very careful of your every action and thought for not getting into the infinite loop. Since, every thought of yours is projected into the space and it travels through time and meets the object at a later time and you have to reap the consequences of that thought.

Tat tvam asi

This ain't self-denial nor fleeing
This ain't a vindication nor conscience-freeing
For now does the heart tear as intellect derides
How could you go after the apples of Hesperides?

I'am the cause and I'am the effect
Forever trapped in the noose so perfect
This gut-wrenching loneliness
Ripping, killing and torturing as a nemesis

Come yonder, Gods' of love all!
Flood my heart with love immortal!
That shall purge the aching soul
And make it pure and whole

For the lifeless being roams
Yet without voice it moans
Lets enjoy the bliss eternal
Drinking the elixir from the vial

'ts amazing how the soul's tricked
Being an end in itself always tripped
Who can love thee more than thou
That thou art that, you must know
Till then shall the misery bind
And never shall the release you find.

of f****up's and start-ups

haha..the feeling when you reflect and realize you've never been the master of your life and then look into the future with certainty that you never will be, but feeling a lot more wiser for knowing you've been such an ass. Some call the feeling inner peace. I call it silence of the chickens.
Silence is the time between your fall line and start line. Silence is when all are around you-just that..they aren't with you. Silence is when you try and realign yourself. Silence is like trying to sew back hacked pieces of self-grotesque and punishing; the result more so.
Silence also takes you back to the 'it' moments-confusing then, defining now. Such moments, short as they are, have this impact to reaffirm all your beliefs for a lifetime, and I'am not exaggerating when I say they that they shape your entire future course...such moments are the flashlights for the foggy future as well...one can always go back to these moments for that clarity and reaffirmation you need now.
Kudos to one such person who has helped me go back to basics and reaffirmed my belief that you don't need to change yourself to please anyone.

sending out thoughts!

Life's like this endless strip-tease where you're constantly ripped off of your happiness, sanity, freedom, opinions until finally you're dancing frenziedly and you ache for that blitzkrieg-like orgastic ending to finally be able to see the light, but there isn't..there aint just no climax in life.

not for me, not me

Feeling particularly piqued and somewhere deep down in the heart starts this warm feeling, only to be going up in flames by this immense irritation...anyways, I figured I'l write something no one knows about me...I've never particularly obsessed/ given a thought to take a liking to things considered feminine..hate it! I have no idea why girls go gaga over stuffed toys or those cuddly bears.. y? because they are the dumbest and mind numbingly-stupider next to you? and those frilly and bizarrely cut dresses that you'd like to call fashion, and that silly make-up! and al that accessorizing ! and all people who listen to music and discuss it with such zeal and think of themselves as cool..for god sakes, its just for lightening-up your mood..stop treating it and taking it to a point like it defines your life and who you are!
Me, I like meaningful art, beautiful poetry and prose, higher planes of thought (there's nuthin called philosophy, there's just brilliant thinking and levels of perspective), like dressing-up in those cut-down-to-basics jeans and shirts..love fast cars and horses, adventure and one day I might just ride a sports-bike hopefully! Not attached to any material things...gadgets and stuff aren't like part of me or define me...I bring character into things..leave my style on 'em. More interested in technicalities..wud love to repair my car if I want to..

Full circle

When the music ends and silence begins
Wrapping you in and consuming from within
Ah! the supreme egoist reigns
Blessed is he who is the master of nothin'

When the battle ends and clarity strikes
In your face with light and sound like thunder
Begins the journey back to source in strides
He revels amidst the chaos in silence and wonder

When perfection reveals itself in all glorious forms
Thus spake the ego in bliss supreme
Knowing the reason in glaring dichotomy
Leads an unconcerned and harmonious life

Nothing's more artistic than pure white. Darkness is duality-it has nothing and everything in it at the same time. Nothing's more artistic than darkness illuminated by pure energy!

T.O.W vortex

You think you'r getting out of the loop, but you'r only getting deeper into it..and there's no way out as long as the mind is exposed to only "so much" of an idea on life. So, you'l need exposure...of new ideas and new experiences..experiences are supposed to be embraced..not run away from! As long as your mind is confined to only a pigeon-hole view of life and you've built an entire life (an imposed lifestyle, I'd like to say) of it like an orbit around yourself, even on the subconscious level, you'r constantly getting deeper into the rut and you'r still wondering, what's the way out when I've tried so much to understand life! Truth is, you haven't...That is more than enough proof to believe its an imposed lifestyle which you've taken on without questioning its premise. That's exactly why you understood life from an erroneous point of view altogether. How then can you get out? Relax, there's nothing to get out from. Confused?

Straight to the p. Like I said, its not about running away..its about embracing new idea(s). Life was originally intended to live in tandem with nature. Rest of the creation (animals, birds, plants, et al) doesn't need money to go about their life..they are peaceful..have food and rest..what we humans exactly wanted in life...but we are blessed with intelligence too..so we invented money and effed up our lives.. we embraced the rule of opposites and yet, we wonder why our lives are so much miserable with increasing consumerism and more money!! We wanted happiness and we went about the wrong way.

Anyway, I figured out what the purpose of life is...so, good luck to you! :P :D

(Ain't giving that one out for free!!)

musings2

Wish poetry just flows like it used to earlier...

Just how narrow is our concept of time-frame as compared to the one of infinite cosmos..Taking everything on that scale, its true that we are getting lost in the passage of time with our entire life reduced to an insignificant event. Yet, it is laughable how, in our narrowed-down and descaled time frame, we take our life and its silly travails so seriously! We waste our entire life living it for others, in every sense. Whatever we hanker after is not for us to enjoy..just for the show-off value. Whatever we tout as achievements are just an extension of the same. Then why do we do it with full knowledge of the same? Simple: We all have to die at some point of time-why 'waste' time in serious pursuit when we can enjoy the short life and die!

musings..

There's this inbuilt irony in life which follows the rule of opposites.

1. Spending money to get rid of poverty

2. Shut-up instead of talking more to get others interested in you

3. Spend Earth's resources to invent ways to stop using them

4.Wearing so much make-up to get that "natural look"!!!

5. Study a lot to understand you haven't understood anything
6. Wonder why, having known the rule of opposites you wish for the opposite of what you want to get what you want, this time surprisingly the wish is granted!
