WHAT I HOPE !

For what I sought ,

for what I fought in the lone desert

for a drop of water

to quench people’s desire…

I stood there under the vast expanse of corruption,

slit where the throats and stabbed the back

by prejudice

in hands of the ruthless,greedy hunters…

squeezed who every drip of life

from the naked workers

piling their own baggages

with sin and mint as treasure!

Shall there be a rising sun,

who will glow as a stellar

His hands shall uplift the weaker

he who shall create a history of revolution

in the free air of freedom…

 eradicating  the dreadful fears…

whose noble thoughts will wipe the depravity…

when once again my land will shine

as the golden bird of destiny!

FAITH !

What lies forth !

round the bend,where I can’t see!

A blind corner ,

a cliff dangerous,

a valley of flowers

or a dangerous rift!

Is the river flooded,

Can I cross it without oars,

will there be a boat for me

or shall the shore reach beneath my feet in seconds!!!

Is there a palace awaiting my presence

Is there a hut to shelter me in storm,

Will I ever get a tree

when I walk in the scorching sun for long!

Is this my path ,where I tread,

on which I step upon,

or was it around the last corner,

which I left across?

Restless mind, flickering flame

fickle thoughts shall ruin in vain,

brighten the dimmed light of hope

in my  heart !

O! My lord ! with your grace,

Till I walk on the road of destiny

with belief in mind and heart full of faith.

THY GRACE !

the flower of elegance blushes in crimson…

as thy cheeks are  kissed

the charming breeze says!

Into the depths of mystical majesty

I enter,

as the lotus eyed blinks

whom I face!

…

embellished by the divinity

beautified is thy grace,

i dip and sink

in the waters of love

where celestial beings

too are refrained!

….

tis the ether that vapourizes

sublime soul emanates

 redolence of the miraculous passion

for aeonian

through the gracious touch of thy senses!

slippery the dark alley,

wet with gruesome doubts,

the smooth floor of love lies today

in the dull passage of incertitude…

 

On the end stood the soul,

watching the melee of thoughts

awaiting to be swept by

a turbulent storm!

 

Truth has different facades

each has a different tale,

need of the hour

proclaims to wipe out the fears across the lane…

 

then would the darkened walls

be illuminated

song of pure clear love

shall flow through then

the gloomy ramparts!

 

 

 

 

 

The Fallen Leaf!

The soul weeps in anguish

falls the leaf from the branch

   shockingly the flower is aghast

“ Why Thou! You descend and collapse…

Its still time before  death befalls….

 

“ tis the drop of the curse,

The curse of the loved one,

for whence I should

separate from the branch of life…

 

It withers my vibrant color

burns the freshness and vigor

lest I need to shrivel and die

When the curse of love transpires!

 

“Alas, you are the one

Who never grumbled whether ignored

 nor stumbled in a storm

walked with a word of joy,

Spreading happiness to every passer –by”.

 

Its my fault ,O! loved one!

The essence of my immaculateness

Ne’er reached the core of  thy  heart

I fail and now fall apart!

 

The “Reach” which touches or the “Touch” which reaches?

Ever thought is it the Reach to thousands of people all around the globe that touches them,or is it the Touch which they feel ,makes my verses on my blog accessible?

The long journey ,an interesting one ,it has been on WordPress,since the time I started writing here.

INFINITY

read I in thy eyes the deep secrets of wisdom,

from far beyond the horizon

echoed the songs of devotion…

 

in colors celestial

floating in the sky

I touched to feel the mist

of thy eternal art …

 

dissipated the hues like the glowing asters

merged and unified,

in the infinity

of the blissful illustration…

A thought:

Life is a beautiful journey like a varicolored spectrum which reflects different colors every time.  Right from the beginning when a soul takes birth till the day it leaves the world,it is a continuous process of evolution for the mind,body and the soul
We experience many such moments which fill us with joy and enthusiasm,but the fight for survival and the struggle to exist in the materialistic society as an achiever of superficial dreams  always keeps us stressed and exhausted. As a result we are drained,deadened and we lead a lifeless life fighting against the inner conflicts .

WE THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN AND SHALL BE A PART OF THIS JOURNEY!

TWIN SOULS

“And let me rest for a while

on your strong shoulders,

with my hands in yours

I wish to be in heaven…

 

for ages ,we have been apart

through times we have died

       now reborn,

ablaze the passion still inside

of the lost love especial…”

 

twin souls of the eternal fire

separated on birth

kindle and invoke Thou

to be eternally together…

 

a flower blossomed then falls

   from the tresses of the maiden

 leaving fragrance in  her hair

    it smiles in chaste….

 

“Such beauteous journey  of life

as one flame we want  to traverse,

unified and combined ,

We the part of thy creation…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

TURKISH DELIGHT OR A SERAPH !

 

 

Seraph , in her disguise

walks amidst the crowded street,

In the lanes of the souq,

Where Turkish lamps lit…

 

Around the corner,was a  shop,

diffused  from where ,the fragrance of incense strong

A perfume of jasmine doused

The restless minds of the bazaar…

She waded quickly through the mob,

Her zardosi robe was kissing the ground since long…

 

A sudden strong gush of wind,

blew her veil

 a glimpse,I saw…

for the heaven too couldn’t hide,

The beauty of the divine …

  Flowing golden cascade of hair,

The mesmerizing dark kohl eyes

 

…

The green sapphire sparkled on her hand

beautiful earrings dangled to kiss the strands

An aura luminous reflected beside

The darkest alley became white and bright…

 

And lo! She flew like an angel,

Vanishing in the group of people,

Impatiently I looked for her,

to have a glance

to feel the breeze,

but the grey clouds moved hurriedly,

covering the radiant moon placidly…
