Adiyogi

Now that i see you
i walk slow.
Now every step an infinite journey!
Every breath to be savoured!

Why would i even look up
to your face?
These barren lands,
this dust flying in this abandoned space

is enough!

Not one more step,
now that i'm nearing
let me stop here forever,
At a distance..tearing!

Since Then..


Like a leaf 
weightless
completes its fall
and melts into the ground

The bee rests its buzz
incessant
closed in the flower
without a sound

My eyes 
knew rest
only when 
into yours..

..drowned!

For that one moment
and never again, 
ever since then..


Suspended

Thrown out and sucked in
held up and drowned back in
churned around
and tossed up at last

into the sky of the senseless!

Watched you rapt 
and unblinking for long
only to be zapped
into the empty space 

that was you.. a moment ago!

Now eyes closed
and eyes open
its all the same

All that is seen
held up by the unseen
Suspended in who knows where

wherever 
and however
though in pain, it doesn't matter
for always in love

forever and ever!


Why do flowers bloom?

Is it the wind that 
made the leaves move
Is it really the plant 
from which the flower grew
Is it the water drops 
that sunk in
and threw..

..out this sweet smell!

Is it the sweetness
that brought the smile
Was it really in love
that you paused for a while!

These winds, 
these leaves,
these smells
playing with the light
this rustle, 
this buzz, 
this moment
standing out bright!

This beauty
This peace
This love
do i really know?
Up,down
right,left
then, now
where do i go?

Cried and screamed
Danced and laughed
Sorrowed and sang
Wrote poems.
And all that stuff
Grinned and frowned
Wept for a while.
Then came around
And realized
That it's not enough...

...without the wide open sky!
