Best Peacemusic Poems
Silence not just opposite of voice
More of ear turning deaf to outside noise
Close ears to outside din
And hear subtle murmur within
Listen Heart beats in rhythm and rhyme
No music composer can beat the music divine
Listening same beats for sometime
Makes one slip in meditation anytime
One drops BODY then MIND falls
Weightless, thoughtless Light one feels
Slip one may in trance
Levitation one may experience
Eternal Bliss engulfing
As if in Heaven surfing
Longevity of blissful state, on practice depends
Veteran or amateur, sooner or later it ends
Silence ruptures, clamour overtakes whisper
Bliss vanishes, pang emerges
One day sound fails to impact hearing sense
That is when one is laid into permanent Silence
Silence of graveyard not just opposite of cry in maternity ward
More of listening to death than speaking of life as trump card
Silence not just opposite of voice
More of dropping body dead, aligning life suiting soul's choice

I am with my friends.
We are sitting in the balcony in open air, feeling the sky is the limit, or is it?
Then i take-off.
I am in wonderland or maybe it is alice.
Everybody are laughing, maybe they are laughing at me.
Then i notice myself laughing, maybe I'm also laughing at myself.
Theories are unpredictable.
Its the only time i become sucrose-tolerant.
The music is soothing, taking me places.
The night sky is brilliant, the stars are dazzling, i can feel the wind blow across my body.
I am hungry, i am thirsty.
Oh! once again, the music is amazing. Spiraling around.
Then i wait... Wait till I rot away...
