Best Shiva Poems
Shiva dances
Within the circle of fire
Expressing harmony
In his perfect figure
The snake on his arm
Is seen uncoiling
The flame in his hand
An endless cycle of birth and death
His cosmic dance
The harbinger of bliss
Destroys the old myths
Creates the new
Releasing men from illusion
He performs his dance
Of creation
Based on Hindu Mythology
Lord Shiva, is the ancient Hindu God............
Lord Shiva is the most ancient and potent divinity in the universe
Although mystery surrounds him but our love and faith for him is great
Lord Shiva is the most powerful God in Hinduism and he is the root of
Saiva Samayam that delve deep into our ancient civilization.
He also known as Maheswara who representing the Trinity by himself
He is a creator, preserver and destroyer of the worlds that he creates.
He is the father of all and the source of all knowledge and mightier still
In the Mahabharata he was worshipped by Krishna and Arjuna for victory
In the Ramayana he was worshipped by demon king Ravenna for power
Lord Shiva's destruction is not negative but positive that ends always with bless
Lord Shiva is a great dancer too and he known as 'Nataraja' that is a
symbolic combination of the most important aspects of Hinduism.
He embrace his devotees who ever pray him and give them protections
He destroys the ill nature in man and he grows heavenly light in their heart
to the emergence of divine nature in man
Not only Lord Shiva, gives immense freedom to his devotees to choose
whatever path they want to follow but also shows the way to live happily
"Om Namasivaya" is the great spell to get bless from him.

I’m here sitting Shiva again
For a good man who’s long been my friend,
And I’m sure you’ll agree
If you knew him like me,
That it really was sad at the end.
But that ending’s not what stands tall
When reflecting, considering all
Of the things we loved most
About which we’ll boast,
When his name comes up that we’ll recall.
What a wonderful colleague you’ll say
As you warmly remember the way
He handled each case
With a kindness and grace,
That made peoples’ fears fall away.
As a family man you will agree
His commitment was something to see,
His children just loved him
Grand children adored him,
He was a role model to me.
So I'm here sitting Shiva again,
For a true "mensch" right up to the end
A fantastic clinician,
And gift to us all,
And that is the message I send.
Mind, intellect ego, nor echoes they spell,
Nor sense of hearing, speech, nor of smell,
Nor am I earth, fire, air, nor yet space,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.
Nor vital Life-force, nor five breath fields,
Seven essences, nor five body shields,
No limbs of action make what me is,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.
Likes nor dislikes, I’ve greed, nor fantasy,
Pride nor conceit, envy nor jealousy,
Nor any pursuits of life do I miss,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.
Happiness nor sorrows, virtue nor vice,
Chants, pilgrimage, Vedas nor sacrifice,
Food nor fondness, nor one that relishes,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.
I’ve Death nor doubt, nor faith in wombs of worth,
Father nor mother nor I’ve any birth,
Kin, friend, guru nor disciples on earth,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.
One alone, shape nor size, nor form any,
Pervasive, rife everywhere, in senses,
I’ve freedom, nor bondage, peace, poise is me,
I’m Shiva, awareness and bliss.

The hurt, the anger. You evoked the fury of Shiva,
The greatest curse on earth, and blessing.
You asked for enlightenment. Stupid request. Unless….
It was compassion that compelled me to destroy,
empathy that inspired me to crush your massive illusions
causing the destruction of your ego,
that wasted so much precious time.
You hate me now, for a while,
You have made all my truths laughable lies,
Shiva destroys the destroyer, How beautiful.
All my thoughts once pure and original are
brutal viscous jokes, like a fragile child
living in bouts of fantasy, the princess,
the frog, the witch, the prince to save her,
Its feels better there, doesn’t it?
The mind bomb exploding it all, dissolved,
The emotions uncontrollable,
left with no escape, only reality,
go ahead and create a new fantasy,
the taste of gun powder in our mouth,
ruins them all, with ego gasping its last breaths,
Debilitated, cant move, everything lost.
The darkest hour before the dawn.
The children crying, the ghosts howling,
the fingers pointing, begging hands,
demanding voices, the angels singing.
You can hear them all now.
We have work to do.
Co-written by Kelly Wright
In a dim, desolate bog,
between the wavering shadows,
a violet shows its clear blue face
to the wan, desultory sun—
a sweet, pristine reminder
of perennial rotations—
rebirth, dissolution,
waxing from the waning;
all haunting and sublime.
They stood a test of time,
Yet glorified is this shrine,
Build around 700 AD with some submerged and some exposed..
Proudly does she overlook the Bay of Bengal,
As she remains as one of the oldest structural temple,
Who constantly keeps glorifying our ancient scripts,
From the tales of King Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahalada,
Maa Durga as Mahishasurmardini and Lord Shiva along with Nandhi,his mount.
Enshrined in a small rectangular shrine is Anantashayi Vishnu,
With the external walls filled with beautiful carvings of Krishna slaying Kesi,
And dancing over Kaliya and then being seated on his vehicle Garuda.
Mesmerizing is this sight,
When seen when the light is bright,
So make sure that you visit this place, Alright
I sing glory of Shiva
Indian villages woke
Uma took a glance, listened
and began her chore
***
I sing glory of Shiva
The destroyer of evil

I close my eyes to see his face,
I bow my head to feel his grace.
He holds my hand when times are tough,
To give me strength that's enough.
My Shiva lives inside me,
Guides me and chides me.
He's my protector and my friend.
He's the light of my tunnel's end.
He is naive like a child ,
sometimes harsh mostly mild.
Lover of milk and wood apple.
His aura can make anybody bedazzle.
He is like you and me,
Nothing grand just ordinary.
He's a paradox and a hyperbole.
His existence is simply exemplary.
Deep in depression when I felt,
I just closed my eyes and knelt.
He was there in my mind,
how could I be so bilnd?
The step I wanted to take was so wrong,
how could I not see , this is where I truly
belong.
He truly touches my heart and soul,
He is the one who makes me whole.
My Shiva lives in my heart,
I know for sure that we will never be apart .

Moon and the sea together
Shiva
At once creating life
In relentless
Destruction
Quantum Non-Locality or Inseparability
When a lady physicist became an environmentalist
Everything in my intellectual life touched your life
A mug may have more uses and lives than a mug
Two mugs may not have to clatter or clash to touch
Because Quantum Physics knows "The Butterfly Effect."
When you laugh, we all laugh with you ( despite masks)!
In John 17, Jesus said "My Father and I are One"
Then went on to urge us all to be One with them
God did not create all He did, to remain aloof, but for Communion
NOTE:
Communion also means "deep fellowship, sharing."
Supported by Brahma
Holding erect energies
Shakti engages in play
In the stream of soma
Igniting our central vein
As a gift to our presence
Receptive in surrender
Aligned with love divine
Centred in the vast void
Encased by feeble form
The dance of polarities
When graced by Mother
Enlivened by magnetism
Manifests bliss frictional
That pervades each node
Gripping heart in rapture
Yearning replaces desire
As bliss currents caress
Grazing touch seductive
Vaporising our lower mind
Wherein free will chooses
To dissolve in the ocean
Becoming the ocean itself
Whist yet soul now whole
