~ The Timeless One… ~ 

☆

Worlds unfurl like petals of dawn

Worlds crumble to whispers of dust

From the womb of ashes

—creation rises afresh

 

Birth’s first breath, death’s final sigh

The soul drifts through

doors uncounted, unseen

All unfolds beneath

an unblinking gaze

 

Is it the Seer—

Or the vision that dwells

within His eyes

Or a witness older than

the gods themselves

 

Not He

Not His vision

Then who treads unscarred

Through the endless

corridors of forever

Who… is this Timeless One?

~ The Price of Smile… ~ 

☆

This habit of my smiling

proved far too dear—

They set me aside and forgot

salt of my silent tears

* 

I donned the mask to hide

the excruciating ache,

My fragile smile that

no mirror could break

 *

They saw only the glow

that my smile gave,

Not the somber heart

that cried in its cave

 *

In solitude, I searched

for a tender hand,

For a voice —that my

soul would understand

 *

But hope, like a mirage,

vanished from the sight,

Leaving me stranded in

the single, lonely light..!

~ Echoes of the Eternity… ~ 

☆

In the forgotten memory lanes

invisible shadows softly sway

Bittersweet whispers, render a

soulful serenade, days after day

*

As the universe unravels the

secrets of love that’s so true

A bond that transcends beyond

the limits, shining through

*

Perhaps in another lifetime our

paths will cross once more

And we’ll dance under starry

skies with serenity, we adore

*

Until then let our love shine

as sparks of the divine light

A bright flame keeps guiding

us through the endless night

~ Beyond the Masks… ~ 

☆

In the mystic caverns,

So deep and wide,

A latent power stirs,

where secrets reside

* 

Hidden from the world’s

intrusive  gaze,

A  truth lies, veiled in

in frozen, silent ways…

 *

 

The world beholds but

a masked disguise,

Unaware of truths, in

those  hidden  eyes…

 *

In nocturnal gloom, when

 tears fall like rain,

A fierce scrutiny rages,

through  joy and pain

 *

Yet, amidst the volcano’s

chaotic  fiery care,

A paradoxical calm aspires

silently once more

 *

A thousand faces born of

the artifice and guile,

Transform passion’s fire,

to a whimpering smile

*

From a hidden realms,

a form appears,

Bearing a fleeting duet,

through joyous tears

 *

A mystic dance of light

and darkness entwines

Two souls in union, in

fleeting, mortal shrines

* 

Once more, the stark

darkness beckons near,

An inscrutable abyss,

that draws us in fear

 *

Into  the  same  familiar  

cycle, we’re  bound,

A serpentine path, where

shadows spin around

~ Mergence… ~ 

☆

When I’m in your blissful company,

the supreme seraphic serenity prevails,

It’s your dreamy fathomless eyes,

in which I forget all my worldly travails…

*

Your silent whispers resonate in the

soulful tune that my heart harbours,

In your presence, agonising eerie noise

dissolves into soft angelic murmurs

*

An endearing walk in silvery moonlight

Turns the furore into to a gentle melody

Your every touch is a tranquil embrace,

In your caress, lies my musical prosody…

*

Magical moments spent in your convivial

company form the roots of my existence

Merged together we’re in perfect harmony,

World is sentient owing to our coexistence…

~ Daredevilry… ~ 

☆

The river stretches its

canvas wide and deep,

A realm of deep mysteries

where shadows creep

* 

Where the whirlpools swirl

and crocodiles lurk below,

And death’s dark whispers

incite the hearts to blow

 *

 The river’s irate fury rages

with a tempest in sight,

A death knell tolls with

a mystic uncertain might

* 

Fear’s dark shadows loom

that threaten to consume,

Yet in its enigmatic depth,

a story awaits to resume

 *

The river’s pulse beats fast

its strong tide rises high,

A boundless promise that

touches the ever gigantic sky

 *

Will you heed the river’s call

and brave the fury unknown,

Will you cross the threshold

where fears are overthrown

 *

The river’s challenge beckons

you to plunge to swim across,

Redefining the courage, you rode

its waves, with daredevilry gross

~ Nostalgic Memories… ~ 

☆

When skies oozed the

tears of joy and pain,

We’d run out, hands

outstretched in vain

*

Catching drops, laughing

and dancing in rain, freely,

In the scent of petrichor,

going wild, ever joyfully

*

The first rain’s ever so divine

kiss on our tender skin,

Playing a celestial symphony

of the memories within

*

As droplets fell like shining

diamonds  so  bright,

We  would  twirl,  and spin,

with the pure delight

*

But now, those days are

lost forever in the time,

A deep nostalgia plays a

somber heart’s rhyme

*

The raindrop’s question,

echoes through it all

“Now, who would stretch

hands for me to fall?”

*

When rain-kissed lasting

memories were made,

As petrichor’s fragrance

incensed heart’s arcade

*

Oh, will someone return those

stolen  childhood  days,

When carefree laughter echoed,

and joy willfully swayed..!

~ Let’s walk together… ~ 

☆ 

The road  is  harsh and  unforgiving,

if possible, come along for guidance

Journey too is arduous, at least walk

along  for  some  more  distance…

* 

In  your  blissful  company  there’ll

always  be  an  idyllic  fragrance,

I know it’s too demanding, still walk

with  me  for some more distance…

 *

Yes, I’m drunk but then you too are

not in your senses and substance,

It’ll be a great merriment if we walk

together for some more distance…

 *

Even if, meeting of one night evantuates,

it will be a blessing in abundance

Who knows about tomorrow, so let’s walk

together for some more distance

 *

It’s too late at night, but the awaken

lamps still have their dominance,

Dawn is yet far away, so let’s walk

together for some more distance…

 *

Somehow I’ve to reach the destination

joy will multiply with your acceptance

So won’t it be better if together, we continue

walking  for  some  more  distance…

~ Guiding Flame… ~ 

☆

Though destiny’s skies may bear

the scars of past deeds’ might,

Yet the charter of duty remains as

a guiding light, shining so bright

 *

Through the life’s turmoil,

I hold fast to whatever is right,

A sworn compassionate heart,

stands resolute in fate’s fight

 *

In the blazing tempest of time,

I find solace on my inner shore

Where duty’s flame burns bright,

with the purpose noble, evermore

 *

Though the fate’s waves may crash,

but I’ll always stand firm and tall

To discharge all my obligatory duties,

I’ll face challenges, to win them all…
