I didn't merely hear your voice
I felt it pour down my head
Leaving me drenched.
Baffled with my own fresh tears
I walked into your song!

Once inside,
I realized
with the sudden stopping
of my heartbeat,
that this is no song..

.. But a temple where
naught can be heard..
And the growing silence
anticipates in slow
and solitary water drops,
the ominous footfall
of my Master! 

Your coming
And going
Is like my own breath
That betrays me
every second

When I am close to you
I am drowning!

As I step away
With every step
I see the world
Collapsing into you

And I let go
Into this strange
And fragrant mist
That rises all around!

Love

What is it that joins
the night to the day
and day to give in
to the night yet again

What is it
that makes me feel
that the song of the tiny bird
that cut through the cloud
making perfect circles
in the unending sky..
is the same
as the one
of a dried up leaf
yet unheard
touching the ground
in its final resting sigh

What is that make
the raindrops
as I hold in my hands
and your eyes
as I hold
in my own
seem forever new

What is it
that makes
even broken hearts
to beat as one..
and what is it
that brings me
under the glowing sun..

back to where I started! 

An uninvited tease
In the silent skies
Of the hopeless

Clouds of dusty fragrance
Raise ashes of burnt out hopes
And the heart quivers
in ecstatic fear
Of giving in..

To too sweet a promise

At your feet

I will sleep at your feet today
Sleep to never get up
Never wake up to watch you leave

In the quenching
Of this thirst
Which has burned my heart
All this while
Deep into this quenching
I fall forever

As I sleep
I will never get up to hear
The gentle flowing of a stream
never to hear the chirping
Of birds maddened by the vastness of the skies
And the moon drowning
In its own wine!

I will sleep so long at your feet
That the stream will flow through me
The maddened birds
 perch on me
The moonlight reflecting on me
As it reflects from the desert sand.

Today I give up and sleep at your feet

Struck!

As I am struck by your beauty
My smile is merely
The gentle waving
of a few unburnt leaves
Of a tree destroyed by lightening!

हर हर महादेव!

Out of simple innocent fools
You made senseless devils
Who would laugh in glee
Their own boiling blood,
An intoxicating wine.

Intoxicated beyond all fear
You taught us to include
Danger, death and blood
Into one ecstatic dance!
