~ Longing for Union… ~ 

☆

One day, God gave the right to choose

heart’s own love—its preferred musing

The sun embraced its radiant fire,

The ravishing moon adorned itself

with millions of twinkling stars

The rivers sought to merge with

the deep ocean’s fond embrace

Raindrops clung to clouds

as they longed to move…

The breeze happily chased the

celestial fragrance all-around…

And finally, the love—

The love clasped longing

in its fullest bloom for union…!

~ An expectation… ~  Shri B.G.Jain 

(The inspiration of this poem is the backsight showing mirror on each and every two and four wheeler vehicle. It is the warning that the persons you have left behind, or gone back from you, are not too far, they may struck anytime.)

☆

I was in a very good service & was holding very respectable post

And use tone surrounded by people

Sometime I was guest,

Sometime I was host,

 

Though I keep very good health and capability

Attaining at the age of sixty

Retirement for me was nothing but penalty.

 

Now nobody turns to me

For their work or mine

Now when I am in need of ten

I have only nine.

I am being compelled to live a lonely life

Pension, tension and my company

Is only my wife

Though I have very good eyesight and vision

I wear glasses for a great reason

That I read on the glass of my scooter that

The objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

~ 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
