Best Self Contained Poems

you opened your eyes but closed your mind
oblivious to dreams I kept inside
you saw the package but not the treasure
all of those late nights we were together

you spent the passion but saved your heart
keeping those two things far, far apart
nothing ever ventured, nothing ever gained
so...

From the beginning, people have asked themselves,
how God came into being or how God creates from nothing?
The God seekers are advancing ethical axioms
and truth is withstanding the test of experience.
Human mind is made out for reason and truth.
Reason gives us freedom
and freedom makes a human...

Inertia makes a monster of my
Self
I'm insatiable for making a 
Progress.
Move, don't just tell yourself
You will.
Set the rules, then transgress.
The rebel inside of you deserves
Respect.

You're what you eat, don't
Lick
Your wounds, turn up the heat
By a caress. Love the self-contained
Monster you possess.
Let it off its leash...

The slow weathered drip of life falls restrained
As years turn and decay begins to show
Time is met in memories self-contained
Disappearing ghosts from the mind's window
A child on a cloud of imagination
Wondrous worlds lost and yet to create
A young man wearing shoes of freedom found
Chasing after...

This is an ancient land lapped by two seas in the south,
          girdled by mountains the highest on the earth.
Many mighty rivers flow across this fertile land,

[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent
when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

“The Facts you give me circumvent
those ‘truths’ your chuckles supplement;
although they might disorient
they can’t be wrong, I won’t dissent,
just using ones...

We were calculating theoretical yields on chemcollective
and somehow we ended up dancing to ”go left.”

We were finding oxidation numbers on labster
but somehow we started laughing.

We were balancing chemical equations on PhET
but now we’re singing “World we created” with hair-bush microphones.

Believe your competence - be impressed...

When a Man Loves a Woman


When a man loves a woman,  he believes
And frees his heart from being self-contained
To feel emotions in depth he conceives
With a lover's rush quietly restrained
In lonely corners of his soul's desire
He'll free the guarded wings of his heart
To allow...

"Mahakavi...tell me, what is the body?"

'It is: the candle desiring flame;
    it is:  the universe self-contained;
       it is:  the realization of love,
          through the gratitude...

I am beautifully broken.
 
Don't get me wrong. I don't think I'm beautiful. But I do think I'm beautifully broken. Before Fet, I hated being called broken. It was an insult. It meant I needed "fixing". Or worse, I was beyond fixing.. and insisted I...

I see you.  I recognize you.

The brilliance of your Light attracts me,
bathes me in its warmth,
sings to me in comforting sighs,
draws me near as I walk, transfixed, 
into the deepest pools of your eyes.

I am home in your arms,
I am safe in your laughter.
You...

Once upon a time there never was an Ego
For it was alive by the breath of wishes of those who were suffocating from it
I carried the cross for being egoist
Had my hands nailed, had myself hailed
Confident rain was self-absorbed
Self-esteem felt the pain
Self-assertive had risen and...

“The Language of the Undone”

I prefer 
them 
over humans
those velvet souls 

loving 
the lesser 
parts of me 
always

more than anyone 
else cares to admit 
they inspect 
every inch of me 

walking over me 
territorily 
like Gulliver’s 
hirsute henchmen

those velvet suits 
wrap themselves 
like mink 
around...

"Black Pearl" 

I was told,

I was like a grain of sand
that found its way in my 
mother’s ocean to a strange
home, where there within, 
I found an open place, 
self contained and 
safe for a while, like a cool
mollusc provides a soft warm bed;

I slept...

Last night I dreamt I wore a crown
The world and all within was mine
I held in hand the power to be
The best of all was meant for me

Last night I dreamt I wore a crown
Allegiance to none  other did I owe
I was an Island...
